I will be sending your names to Andrew who said your names will be added to the movie credits. Thanks again to all who made this possible, after something like this I remember again why I built the Kubel in the first place to be used and not sit in the garage all the time.

Friendly Northern Cape greetings

Hi All,

A special thank you to all the willing people that were involved in making this venture happen. Daniel was awesome to work with and we had a blast having him and his kubel on set. The footage looks amazing. We are greatfull for the sponsorships and donations towards the fuel expences. I covered all the other expenses (Accomodation etc) out of my pocket.

The footage looks good and the film will more than likely be out in cinema february next year. Keep an eye out for it.

Im just so happy to see that there are some WILLING south africans still out there that are WILLING to help out another.

Thanks

Andrew
Producer: Angel of the Skies

...and so I missed this one in the other barn

Hi guyz i was with Andrew Mcdonald yesterday the guy that shot the flic and he told me that he mite get a veedub aswell lol

Update: spoke to the producer a few months ago, and the film is still in production (seems like these things do not happen overnight)

Anyway, the concept had a very good reception at the Cannes Festival in France this year, you can watch some of the work in progress scenes here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J3am9oxF8zk

On the blog:

I did it... 138 page screenplay, 19 day shoot, 3 Canon 7D's and a crew of some of the most awesome, young talented filmmakers in South Africa helped me put it together. I was lucky enough to get backed by a successful film producer and directer here in South Africa that I have known for a while, Diony Kempen, he called me up one day, knowing about the project, and said, how much do you need to finish it...

So, Diony, Thank you for taking the time to trust me with this very ambitious project.
