news...
Well it's the first monday in Febuary, which everybody knows is the worst month on
the calender. So here is some stuff to read to help ease the SAD.
We are very pleased to have the film featured in the "In Focus" section of the
winter issue of FILMMAKER MAGAZINE, which is currently on newstands now.
1. The long awaited trailer is finally available on the website as part of our new
"Video Page" as well a few clips from the film and this weird kind of "Spotlight on
Tanner". At dinner with your families tonight make sure you "give thanks" to Josh
Rosenfield and James Ciccarello.
You could also see the trailer on our myspace page with a link provided at
www.bookofcaleb.com
2. Premiere date... still up in the air but we are hoping to have our philadelphia
premiere party in April of this year, Sorry for the delay, we're not dead, but you
can only move things along so quickly on an hourly wage.
3. DVD's. The film will be available on DVD roughly around the same time as the
premiere. Anybody that worked on the film is entitled to a free copy of that dvd.
Just make sure to e-mail me at mmanahan@bookofcaleb.com with "Caleb DVD" in the
subject.
4. Poster: 2nd AC/Poster designer/DVD authorizer Justin Barber has put together a
great poster which I want to start getting out to cast and crew as soon as we get
the money together to cover the printing costs. They are going to be pretty cool,
I'm usually pretty pesimistic about things too, but everyone seems to agree Justin
made a fine f*cking poster. Cast and crew, if you e-mail me for "Caleb DVD" and you
would like a poster just add "and POSTER"
5. Audience participation: Your personal homework assignment... Well we have two of
them.
SMALL THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP #ONE: update your info with us. On the main page of
our website, please do us a favor and add your zip code. Small thing, I don't wanna
bore you with the details of why we want your zip code, but it would make my life a
lot easier to organize things.
SMALL THING YOU CAN DO TO HELP #TWO: It'd be great if you could refer someone to the
newsletter that you think would be interested in learning more about this film. Just
drop their e-mail in on our mainpage and they will get the updates on screenings and
things. If they decide they don't want it there later, we will just take it off.

You Actually Have a Trailer?
“You finally got off your dead asses and pulled a trailer together. Wow, what an amazing surprise. Good for you. This is a website for a movie, so why would anyone actually expect to see video upon visiting? I for one would rather look at still photos and read boring bios.”
Yeah. Yeah. That seems to be the consensus as of late, but we got some good stuff in the works. The movie got stalled pretty hard due to a penis measuring contest, but we got it all worked out and full steam ahead.
Matt and I have some talented people helping us out right now and you can thank them for the trailer and the other gems you will be seeing soon on the site and MySpace. Hats off to Joshua Rosenfield for the hardcore job on the trailer. Be sure to check out the "Spotlight on Tanner" by James Ciccarello; learn more about the legend behind the myth. Also, Justin Barber has some kick ass work coming your way and thanks to Stewart Hopewell for cleaning up the site. Matt and I are Neanderthals when it comes to anything technical related so utmost thanks to the talented and tech savvy individuals willing to help us out; much appreciated gentlemen.
Keep checking out the site and MySpace. We have some great stuff coming down the pipeline and are getting ever closer to finishing the film. “Bout time, you lazy assholes”. Yeah, well... back to blue collar work to pay off the debt from the sound design.

Why would I subscribe to the newsletter?
Honestly, I would ask myself the same thing if I were you. The newsletter is great because, while it is a mass e-mail, we don't do it very often and it is a great way to keep informed on what is going on with the film. From premiere screenings, dvd release, or whatever.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is going on with the film?
A: The film is in the "kinda, sorta done phase" of post production. It's kind of difficult to explain. Like the story is told, but there are still a few technical aspects to the finishing process that delay it being completed. Hopefully sometime early in the new year.
Q: I thought you said there was going to be a local premiere sometime in september, it is now mid November, what's your problem?
A: We apologize for the delay, however, it is pretty hard making a movie, that original local premiere date was the best estimate we could give at the time. If you would like more information on the premiere when the time comes, please subscribe to our newsletter.
Q: What about my DVD?
A: We have a new store capable of taking pre-orders of the dvd for when they are available. However, if you are cast or crew please send us your most up to date contact info with "CALEB DVD" in the subject line, and we will be shore to mail yours out with the first batch with no charge.
Q: How can I help?
A: kind of a broad question, but I can figure two ways to answer this.
1. donate some money to our paypal account in the store. Money makes things go faster. or buy a T-shirt.
2. Make sure you subscribe to the newsletter so we can keep you informed or screenings
Q: What R the plans for the finished film?

The Book of Caleb in NYC
New York City is a wonderously exciting city...It is so crowded though holy shit, and like it's weird but I guess because people live in such close quarters of each other their social skills are far advanced, whether they are just talking shit or trying to scam you into paying 8 dollars for a hotdog they really know how to run their mouths.
Another strange thing is that there are so many attractive people there. I guess because of the fashion, I dunno, I mean it's one of the few places in the country where you have the time to really "care" about how you dress, there isn't much else to obsess over and mud isn't really an issue.
So like you have all these smoking hot chicks just walking around, but then you have a lot of really strange looking people with deformaties and things. Basically the hottest and ugliest people on the planet seem to roam these streets and no matter what your head is constantly on a swivel (eyes wide, jaw dropped) trying to take it all in.

I ain't no fucking hack.
Every now and then I get messages. Sometimes they are very supportive of the film and what we are trying to do and other times well they are like this...
Yo, I was looking up Book of Caleb on imdb , and they recomended "The Mask of Zorro" and "The Fox & the Hound" if you enjoyed Caleb. As I was watching the fox & the hound, I noticed you just stole the plot from that movie, and replaced the fox and the hound with human characters. What's next, Pocohantes with robots on a spaceship?
I mean this is just libelous.
