The Cabinet Complete!

We are very pleased to announce that the script for our next feature film, The Cabinet, received its final tweaks over the weekend and was proudly submitted to the Ultimate Filmmaker Competition.

The idea for the film was conjured up during the appropriately long, dark winter of 2009 while the editing process for Eat Me! was underway. What was once a dream has quickly grown into a feature length script with characters we've lived with so long, they seem like members of the family, and an accompanying aesthetic vision that we can see when we close our eyes (and which we hope to share for your open eyes and ears very soon).

We would like to extend a special thanks to the friends who helped us workshop the script in the fall. We remain grateful for the insightful feedback we received. It was immeasurably useful in crafting the script that we are so happy with today.

Coming (very) soon will be our video entry for the UFC contest covering who we are, what we've done, and what we'd like to do with The Cabinet in the future. It was insanely fun to make, and we trust that it shows a true representation of our unique Cold Hand's spirit.

Caligari/Cabinet Script Reading

We had a really productive script reading on Saturday for "Caligari/Cabinet". Thanks again to our readers for their great insights!

We're overall very happy with how it went, and are gearing up now to make our final revisions. This Saturday we're planning to shoot our 7 minute competition video which is sounding like it will be a hoot as well!

The next round isn't until December when 1 of the 5 finalists will be chosen by the public based on their video, script/synopsis and prior work...so stay tuned! We'll need your help!

"Caligari" a SEMI-FINALIST!

A few months back Cold Hands Productions submitted it's next script idea into the $200,000 Ultimate Filmmaker Competition.

We JUST learned it was chosen as a semi-finalist, 1 of 25 films (out of 1,000s of entries!) to proceed to the next round!

The winning filmmaker receives:

Next round they whittle the list down to 5, then they choose the Ultimate Filmmaker (announcement to be made in January!)! We're so excited to be included in this competition, and thrilled at the chance to have our film produced in such an amazing package of funding, tools and life-long guidance.
