Just Arrived at Los Angeles BadFritter HQ!


David here! Arrived safe and sound in Los Angeles, and immediately, was put to work! (which doesn't mean I don't have a beer in my hand...=) There's still a lot to get done here in preparation for the Fundraiser/Premiere Party on Saturday. BFF Production Designer Greg Mannino is also here unloading various (fake) body parts from his amazing Trunk of Props, and we're getting ready to splash a little blood here and there. The backyard is going to look like a refugee camp (themed for the Cliff Lake party, of course) that was attacked (by ????) and abandoned. Its. Gonna. Be. Rad.
Adam Stilwell just officially launched our Kickstarter page, so we're up and running trying to raise money for our next film project, currently titled Ragnarok.

Signing off for now! See you on Saturday!!!!

Press Release: BadFritter Films Releases Short Film "Cliff Lake" June 26

At the end of the world, there is only one question: How far will you go to stay alive?

Los Angeles, C.A. (June 14, 2011) – BadFritter Films releases its much-anticipated short film “Cliff Lake” online on Sunday, June 26 at 7 p.m. pst. The film opens on a man, starving in the Montana wilderness, who answers a call for help that brings him face to face with what he’s been hiding from since the world changed.

David Blair, writer, director and principal of BadFritter Films considers the production to be the indy-team’s most avant garde work yet. ”Cliff Lake is a story about hard choices,” explains David. “It’s about thinking you’ve finally found a place of rest, only to discover you’ve been sleeping beside the predator. It’s about sacrificing everything to stay human, or become the villain. It’s about that place and time where we decide to make our final stand, win or lose, live or die. For three young survivors, that place is Cliff Lake.”

The idea for the film surfaced through the team’s desire to capture the innate human need to survive. They merged a fledgling story idea with their desire to gain control of release and distribution for their films, and provide their fan-base with easy access to their work. The short film, 15 minutes in length, will go live online at http://www.clifflakemovie.com on Sunday, June 26 at 7 p.m. pst.

The team is using Cliff Lake as a launch pad for their next production, an un-scripted documentary loosely referred to as “Ragnaroc.” The filmmakers will follow a close friend into a “rogue community” based in Eastern Montana. Members of the community have agreed to let the team document their lifestyle and interview the founders. Funds to help the production of “Ragnaroc” are being raised through Kickstarter.

Caitlin Rose "Own Side"

YOOO! Soundbusters studio (BadFritters sound/music arm hailing from the salty sweet streets of Alhambra, CA) is happy to announce the completion of "i was a bad boy" The Music of Cliff Lake! More on that sharp piece of work later...
Pitty's headed on a cross country road trip tomorrow and we've got a deadline for this whole Kickstarter sha-bang, so i'm about to cut my teeth editing. Fingers crossed! Come on pinot, help a brotha out...
this is gonna be romantic.

Reporting on 'Cliff Lake' goings-on...

Hello, 'Fritter fans! David here! Currently on Facebook recruiting friends to help spread the word about the online "Cliff Lake" premiere! Paul Cieslewicz, you are a champion!

Cliff Lake -- The Logline

This is David, intensely shooting CL.
Hey all - c'est moi - Jonna.

As Stily, Adam P. and David do their final tweaks on Cliff Lake and the soundtrack (Bonus in the Kickstarter tiers!) my job is to be their guru in all things online and press, to get the word out and help keep our little ship afloat in the big broad world of communications.

I'm up to my eyeballs in CSS these days getting the 'fritter sites fine-tuned and ready for the launch of Cliff Lake (plug: Sunday, June 26 at 7 p.m. PST at www.clifflakemovie.com). I'm not a developer, nor am I a graphic designer but that's the way we roll these days in the 'fritter world. Donning whatever hats best fit the needs of our outfit. This is also my little plea to you -- donate to the 'Fritter's Kickstarter cause so we can expand our team and get more people who do more of the things they love. Basically, that means make movies that you will love.

That's the news that's fit to print right now 'fritter fans. See you all at www.clifflakemovie.com on Sunday night and, in the meantime... SPREAD THE WORD.

Loves ya!
