Produc on Notes

Wrapping Produc on

As I type this, we have 1 last day of principal photography le� and then some ADR and pickups. Working on any low budget project

has its challenges, but I have loved every minute of this project.

Filmmaking is all about growth and willingness to learn new things. Our journey has been all about growing our capabili$es every

single day. Where we are at now compared to where we were when we shot the first season of Shotgun Mythos, prior to the reboot

is a series of baby steps that looks like gigan$c leaps from the outside looking in.

This incredible cast has created a group of characters that fit into this world nicely. When I started wri$ng the novel over a decade

ago, I didn't know any of these actors, but now I can't imagine anyone else playing them.

I am very excited to show this film. We s$ll have a bit of work to do, but it is coming together piece by piece.

-Clint, Director
