Merry Xmas y'all, from the gang at Urtext. It's been an amazing year here at the studio, working on two feature films, a feature doco, over a dozen commercial projects and now starting on the new short film Aurora. Here's to hoping that 2009 is just as exciting a year.
And a big thank you to everybody who's supported the company, be you crew, cast, sponsors, investors, or just well-wishers who've offered encouragement through the year - like always this company exists only because of your amazing support.
And what else to leave you with now except a short video clip we shot of Santafest 2008. See you next year everybody!
Congrats to everyone who gave their all today at the Old Adelaide Gaol for the first day of Aurora. It seems like we're just getting started and now we're all going underground for the Christmas holidays. The shoot was a great success, in my opinion possibly the best first day I've ever seen on a film set. We even finished with an hour left to spare! The shots look great, and if this scene is any indication, the film'll be pretty great as well.
With only a week until filming commences on Aurora, we are looking to recast the role of 'Alina', after an actor had to drop out due to a scheduling conflict. Any budding actresses approx 25-30 years interested can call the director Chris on 0420 400 356 or Jim on 0415 906 978. If you are interested please try and contact us by Monday afternoon.
We've now got an HD version of our OFFSIDE Showreel up for your enjoyment. Check it out (click on 'HD' to switch on HD mode, though you'll have to go through Vimeo's site).:
The Urtext Vaults are where all those little scraps of film from years past come to spend their twilight years. From experimental shorts, long forgotten commercial work, and behind-the-scenes and home movies. Something here to create a little nostalgia. And if anybody has anything they'd like to add, email
