[8.5.10] • THE FIXER might be extremely close, as in dead-on certainty, to being 100% complete, and set for release. Nothing's concrete, yet, but so far, things are hopeful. The intended specs for the forth coming DVD release (through Amazon.com) will be a two disc affair featuring audio commentary, trailers, the HEMI music video, an alternate scenes and footage archive, and an outtakes reel. The 100 minute feature film will be presented in 16x9 anamorphic widescreen with high quality stereo sound. It will be have Region 0 encoding, meaning it can be played on any DVD player worldwide. The film will be made available on Amazon Video-On-Demand, and possibly, albeit in lower quality, for free on a select video hosting website. This is essentially what has been done for RavensFilm Productions' first ever release, DEAD OF NIGHT.

[3.17.09] • Due to the obligations he has to his own livelihood, and to his paying clients, Robert Johnson has informed me it might be in my best interests to seek out a new composer.  Someone who can produce results in a more guaranteed time frame.  I have begun looking, but until I have commit myself to someone else (and they, subsequently, commit to me), I will hold out for Rob in case things turn around in my favor.  It is another unfortunate turn of events for The Fixer, of which there was already an overabundance of.  The search continues....
