• A musical collaboration is underway between filmmaker Nicholas Michalak and musician Ryan Kramar to create an original song for the film. This song, titled "Edge Of Night," would be the final piece of music needed to complete the film, and allow it to be released after so many years. This will replace the temp track of Phil Collins' "In The Air Tonight" during the final montage sequence. Ryan is an amazing musician both as the lead guitarist for the metal band HEMI, and as the frontman for the alternative rock band PJ's My Cousin Too. Lyrics have been written by Michalak, and the music and vocal end are being developed by Kramar. Stay posted as this develops further.

• A brand new retro style poster has premiered online as well as a second soundtrack trailer. Said trailer features numerous pieces of music and songs from the film, giving each musician a chance to impress upon you their style and talent. Furthermore, a NEW preview scene has debuted. It is my favorite dialogue scene of the entire film featuring Nick Doetsch and Lucy Arenberg as the cold and former couple Vic Simmons and Caroline Burnett clashing over new, grim developments in the life of Katie Bishop. All three promotional materials are viewable in their respective areas of the website.

The process is currently on to find the right place and price to do a short run DVD duplication for the film, due for release this Spring. HEMI frontman Trent Zuberi has an idea of how to raise the money necessary to get these made. The reason why RavensFilm isn't going through Create Space as it did for the Dead Of Night DVD release is because of the limitations of what they offer. I want to place a small array of special features on this disc, but with the film being 100 minutes long, that is not possible with a single DVD-5 (which is all Create Space offers). All other distribution websites require you to produce and provide them with the product, and they just act as a conduit for retail sales online. So, it's turning out to be a pricey venture, but there's at least two months before crucial decisions need to be made.

Regardless of the DVD release, THE FIXER will be released via Film Rogue's new indie film digital download service. For merely a few dollars, you'll be able to download the complete film in DVD quality resolution. Apocalypse Cow is working on the film's final piece of score, and this Spring, Along The Parallel plans to record their song "Vestigial" as a single, which will be the final track needed to complete the film
