I thought a few of you who have seen Saving Luna or are planning to might be interested in how the film developed from what we first thought of as a 3-minute film into this 92-minute feature that has done things around the world that we could never have expected.

It has been, I think it is fair to say, something of an unusual journey. So we’ll try to write a few impressions in bits and pieces as pages on this blog (pages are linked in on the right). It’s not going to be a comprehensive history, because we’re still spending most of our time with the very complicated nuts and bolts of getting it into theatres and on television, but maybe we can give you a glimpse of some of the crazier stuff.

Here is what we have so far:

The History Pt1: Beginnings >
The History Pt2: Splat goes the camera >
The History Pt3: A film contract >
The History Pt4: One year later - In line for an award! >
The History Pt5: Cannes >
The History Pt6: On the silver screen at last >

SAVING LUNA will run through December 18th at The Ridge Theatre in Vancouver.  The show times are the same: daily at 4:00, 7:00 and 9:00pm plus 2:00pm on Saturday and Sunday.  We will be at the theatre over the weekend to answer questions after each screening.

Tickets are available here
