Post Production Update

Hi everyone,

We wanted to give all of you a brief update on a couple of things. First off, we've recently changed our name to Cold Spark Films. We're the same people, and we're still working on the same projects, just a new name and logo.

We're still working hard on post production for our feature film The Adventures of Food Boy. The movie is coming together really well and we're excited to start sharing it with everyone. The first clip we'll be able to share will be a brief trailer that we'll post here within the next week or so.

In the meantime, we've included below a couple of candid stills from filming this past summer that we haven't posted before. Thanks for your support and keep checking back for our first trailer!

Here are Lucas Grabeel and Brittany Curran reviewing their lines before a scene.

Filming continues

2007-07-25T22:14:00.000-07:00

We are half way through our second week of filming and things continue to go well. Our cast and crew are amazing and everyone is doing an amazing job. It has been a few days since we've posted anything so we thought we'd give you two videos. This first one introduces a few more actors and is a continuation of day 5. The second one is Producer/Writer Marc Mangum explaining the origins of Food Boy to two actors: Lucas Grabeel and Jeff Braine.

First Week of Filming

We finished our first week of filming yesterday. It has been great! We filmed both the final scene and the climax, which made for a really fun week. After a day of rest, we are ready to start back up tomorrow morning.

We have a video to introduce you to a few more actors.

Day 3

2007-07-18T21:57:00.000-07:00

We have a little video for you with actors Lucas Grabeel and Curt Dousett. If you are looking for a video from day 2, we filmed the final scene so you'll have to wait until the movie hits the theaters. We'll have more videos every few days.

On the way to a location scout, director Dane Cannon took a few minutes to talk to the camera about The Adventures of Food Boy, superheros, and directing movies.

TimpView High School

2007-06-30T13:48:00.001-07:00

Last week we scouted TimpView High School in Provo, Utah, where we will be filming for The Adventures of Food Boy. It's going to be a great place to film!

Here we have our director, Dane Cannon, and director of photography, Ryan Cannon (no relation), in a classroom; a beauty shot of the track and football stands; and a volleyball scrimmage between the production team and the camera and art departments.

Lucas Grabeel to play Ezra

2007-06-27T12:11:00.000-07:00

We are thrilled to annouce that Lucas Grabeel will be playing the lead character, Ezra, in The Adventures of Food Boy. You may recognize Lucas from Disney's High School Musical, where he played Ryan. At one point in 2006, Lucas had three songs on the iTunes top ten download list.

We are excited about the talent he will bring to this role and the whole film. Check out the IMDB profile for Lucas here.

Working the Script

2007-06-16T15:58:00.000-07:00

Director, Dane Cannon and Writer/Producer, Marc Mangum got together this week and worked out a few kinks in the script. We have a thrilling video clip the captures the excitement of the writing process.

Stay tuned for more "making of" videos.

In the beginning...

2007-06-13T09:35:00.000-07:00

So this is the first post to our new blog on the making of The Adventures of Food Boy. We'll use this as a way to keep everyone updated on how things are progressing and our ongoing adventures as we produce this film.

Marc Mangum, our producer and writer, arrived here in Utah last week and has set up shop in a house in Provo that we have named "The Palace" because, if you saw it, you'd say, "Now that's a palace." The Palace will also be home base for our production office this summer.

Dane Cannon, our director, is so focused on reading the script over and over that he has been turning down dates on an almost daily basis. Maybe after this project is over he'll be able to find a girlfriend.

We spent most of last week in casting sessions with our savvy casting director, Jennifer Buster. We were pleasantly surprised at the level of talent that came through--very few of the auditions looked like the disasters you might see at the beginning of American Idol.

Peace out.
