Autumn Haze Productions - Update on the independent short film "3:18"

Autumn Haze Productions is pleased to announce that the first phase of prin=
cipal photography for the 15-minute independent short film titled "3:18" is=
 in the can.  We shot over 75% of the footage we needed and all the dialog =
shots, even with dozens of trains deafening us repeatedly from the railroad=
 tracks above our location!

The on-location shoot in downtown Cleveland took place over the course of t=
wo all-nighters (8:30 P.M. - 6 A.M.) and a third night that went until 1 A.=
M.

This could not have been accomplished without our great cast and crew.  Act=
or leads Marylee Gotch and Jeff Staron did a fantastic job with the dialog =
heavy parts and, as far as I can recall, we never had to cut for dialog...j=
ust trains, police sirens, motorcycles, cars, and even a few whooping pigeo=
ns. =20

While we've got some work to go yet, we want to take a break and say how th=
ankful we are to everyone who has helped us get this far with this producti=
on, in such a short timeframe. We are on schedule and are looking forward t=
o having this film in the major shows in the Fall and Spring. =20
