hello, hellyfish?

Well, one thing I am learning with these kickstarter projects: when the people in charge of making them move away from each other or graduate from SCAD, the project goes into slow-motion status.
Pat Longsteth moved to California in late May of 2012, after filming was totally complete, as he states in the "comments" portion of my posting.
Since then, it's all but stopped, at least as far as I can tell.
The Savannah Magazine's July 2012 issue, titled "Life on the Water", sported a very nice interview with Pat and Rob McLean. The story was titled, aptly enough, "Creature Feature" and is quite entertaining.
Also in July of 2012, their blog was updated to let all know that the trailer for the film was complete and available on youTube. I have it posted above, for your one-stop viewing pleasure! Pretty exciting!
It also tends to whet one's movie-viewing appetite.
So far, that is still unsated.
Near the end of February, their blog reassured all that they had been "chiseling away all winter on the post-production of Hellyfish, and I must admit that this monster is a tough one to REEL in. When tackling any large problem, it’s important to take a break, have a little fun, and learn about what else is happening in the world. So here goes."
The rest of that post, while interesting, was not helpful.
When would the film be completed?
As it has not been completed, that must mean they were unable to enter it in the 2012 SXSW Film Festival.
Will they try again this year? If so, the deadline for submissions is in October.
Stay tuned...
I will!
