The Final Countdown

With less than 2 weeks to go before Odessa begins production, here are some of the exciting things that have happened in the past few weeks…

Presenting Our Executive Producer, Marco Tempest!

Marco Tempest is a multi-talented techo-illusionist who has generously lended his support to Odessa.  Please read more about Marco below and be sure to check out his incredible illusions on Vimeo.

Marco Tempest, Executive Producer

Adventurer, Scientist, Showman, Dreamer and Hero… There’s no one quite like Marco Tempest. His imaginative combination of computer-generated imagery, video, music and stagecraft with his unique vision of future life is creatively unique and unequalled within the performing arts. No one else combines the incredible technical savvy with the showmanship, the physical skills and the charisma of Tempest. With all that talent, it’s amazing that he seems to enjoy poking fun at himself, and all those marvelous toys! Marco gets a kick out of bending reality around the edges. Is that image IN the screen, or just in front of it?  Find out more at marcotempest.com

One More Week Left for Our Kickstarter Campaign!

As of tonight and with great thanks to Marco, we are 98% of the way to reaching our Kickstarter goal.  Please help us reach our goal and beyond in the next few days before production.  The 2k goal we set last month is only a portion of what we need to make this film, thus, the more we can raise, the better! If you have been waiting to pledge, now is the time to do it.

A BIG thank you to everyone who has donated thus far, your support is greatly appreciated.  We could not do this without you!

Production & Insurance Approved

All systems are a go.  Odessa has been production and insurance approved by NYU.

Rehearsals, Shot Lists, Painting, Etc.

In these final days, we are busy at work with…

  • Full blocking rehearsals with the entire cast.
  • Shot lists, storyboards, lighting plans.
  • Last minute shopping for all departments.
  • Finalizing logistic production details.
  • Securing funding.
  • Painting Shannon’s apartment.
  • Gathering all art and props.
  • Post production for the TV Special.

and lots more!  There’s much to be done before we shoot so we’ll get right back to it but…

Happy Thanksgiving and thank you all for your continued support! ~ The Odessa Team
