Jan 06 - Long Beach, CA. Linda Palmer, producer/founder of Runaway Productions has optioned the companies fifth script in the past fourteen months. This script, THE WEDDING VIDEO, penned by Chris Pentzell, was discovered through Ink Tip's quarterly magazine. I generally don't request scripts, says Palmer because we get so many submissions from writer sites, but I saw the log line and thought it was very clever.Initially I talked to the writer, Chris Pentzell and let him know we were too busy this year to produce another picture. I let him know if he didn't sell it by Jan 07, I'd still be interested, explained Palmer. Then my directing partner, Todd Wade, and I had a conversation about doing another ultra low budget project sometime this year. After a brief description, he agreed THE WEDDING VIDEO sounded like the right fit. We met with Chris, showed him our previous projects, LOOK @ ME and INTERVIEWING NORMAN and he agreed to have us produce and direct the project.
The only reason we were able to take on this script is the unique style of this film, states Palmer. It's a series of vignettes that don't have any continuity and stand alone. It's very much like producing twenty commercials. We expect to film approximately 25 days total over a six month period which allows us to produce our upcoming picture, OCTOBER 30TH for Echelon Entertainment, explains the producer.
