Hookman: Redemption is finished, and final preparations have begun for the premiere on Thursday at The Charles Theater. The final rendering/export/encoding of the film to Blu-Ray for the screening took 36 hours of compute power to make sure everything looks as good as it can up on the big screen. Then, we went to The Charles Theater to talk to the manager and test out the projection system to check image fidelity & lens calibration.
It looked great! In an exclusive interview, the director said, "It's really exciting to finally see the finished product projected in a theater, like a proper movie. This is by far the most complicated and involved project I've ever undertaken. It's almost surreal to see it finished because for several years now the end has seemed to be so far in the distance I didn't even think about it. Now that it's really here it's hard to believe. I think probably about halfway through the premiere it will finally hit me and then I'll be sad it's all over. Thursday night will definitely be bittersweet because it marks the end of such a large and creatively satisfying project."
This is auditorium two of the theater, where the premiere will be held Thursday night, and where Hookman: Requiem also premiered six years ago. Do you think 260 seats will be enough?
The screening starts promptly at 7 p.m., so be sure to get there early and grab a good seat. There will be a table in the lobby to purchase tickets (cash only). More details will follow regarding the DVD release, but we will begin taking pre-orders for them at the show as well. Blu-Ray copies will be $12, DVD copies will be $10, and CDs of the soundtrack will be $8. See you there!
