It's official! Singularity is an official selection at the San Diego International Children's Film Festival! It will be screened August 15-16, schedule TBD! Here is a little more information on the festiva from the festival's websitel:

The 6th Annual San Diego International Children's Film Festival is July 24 - Aug. 16 2009, at the San Diego Museum of Art in Balboa Park, at Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center, at the Museum of Photographic Arts in Balboa Park, at the Carlsbad Dove Library and at the New Children's Museum downtown. The festival will feature hour-long blocks of films from around the world made for children and teens - animation, live action and documentary - clustered for different age groups.

For more information please refer back to the website as it is updated throughout the summer.

Everyone at Dawnrunner is extremely excited and looking forward to attending the screening of this great little film! As we get closer to working out all the details we will be posting additional information and providing information for people interested in attending the screening. Dawnrunner will definitely have a large presence at the show and we are in the process of redesigning all the film promotional collateral. With the next project hot on the burner, Fortunes Mine, we are hoping to improve on the proven formula we employed last year!

Be on the lookout for the Official Selection Laurel hitting the Singularity website sometime next week! We will definitely be taking photos and perhaps even some video behind the scenes at the Film Festival and posting it here for those of you who cannot make it!

I would like to congratulate the cast and crew of Singularity for this wonderful honor! Great job to everyone involved.

The Pre-Viz crew is extremely excited about the way the sets are shaping up! Everything is coming together really quickly. "The whole crew has taken a turn in the pilot's seat of the interior set!" Director, James Fox said, "All the hard work the pre-viz team did on the designs have come to life. It's a lot of fun watching their reactions to the set!" The structure for the interior set are complete and detailing work starts early next week. The exterior set is under construction and should be completed by mid point next week. The crew is hopeful they'll have all sets completed by their deadline of July 1st.

New Singularity Website

Hey there everyone! Welcome to our new website for Singularity. We've been working hard on all of the pre-production jobs for the camp and this is another thing to scratch off the list. We're currently putting together the shot list and storyboards from the final draft of the script, so a few key shots may show up here soon so check back often.

We're also starting to fill out the crew for film, we've got almost everything covered. We'd really like to find a band to do some scoring for us; it'd be great exposure for everyone involved. Anyway the plan is to update this more regularly, so check it out and we'll post some of the behind-the-scenes info from pre-production.
