Dispatch from Les Branson:


Well, where to begin? Having shot the "last martini" today after 3 1/2 - 4 years of writing, producing, co-directing and line producing Having My Baby, I am happy to report that our little movie that could is almost complete. We will soon start the final edit (having finished a rough edit) and drop in the sound, and hope for a premiere at the Studio Movie Grill somewhere between November 2008 - March 2009. Fingers crossed and knock on wood.



We were on a doomed mission to begin with, but we never gave up on a chance to buck the odds and make a good, character driven, plot driven, feature-length, action-drama, ultra, ultra, microscopic, low-budget indie film. What was supposed to take 25 days has taken two years; that is, complete principal photography. What was supposed to cost $25,000 is fast approaching $70,000. Many people tried to set the bar too high for our little movie, but David and Sam and I always knew exactly what kind of movie we were making, and what our limitations were. I never had a doubt about Having My Baby's potential, but I knew it would not be easy.



Luckily with our combined talents, Sam, David, Phil and I have steered the project, and with the combined talents of all the cast and crew, we will soon have a movie we can all be proud of. Many thanks to all.
