Update on Travel Queeries Mid Production (3.07)

Hello all....

We have been using the blog space more recently to give updates on your production but I wanted to give a little update on how our pre/post production has been going in Seattle the past 6 months and what our next steps are!!!

Travel Queeries is a two phase project- meaning, we are filming for two summers in a row (2006 and 2007) and then will go edit and have a finished product in Spring 2008 to show to everyone and tour!!!

We are wrapping up post-production on 'phase one' currently, which entailed editing a 2 min. trailer with the footage we have:

as well as fundraising, making merch (post-cards, buttons, t-shirts), planning our next steps and doing all the other administrative things involved in putting together a big production like this film!

We have had some title changes also and brought on some new folks.
Currently Elliat Graney-Saucke is the project lead for Travel Queeries as the Director/Executive Producer with co-founder Margaritte Knezek as our fabulous Co-Producer/DP. (Margaritte is also a full time student at the Evergreen State College and living in Olympia now!).
We have brought on the fabulous and amazing Sidney Jo as another associate-Producer/DP and she will be joining part of filming production this summer as well. Amy Mahardy, who is currently a full time editor at PBS (Public Broadcasting Station) is responsible for editing our fab new trailer!

This summer (2007) we will be filming in the following locations! Please contact us if you are from any of these places, planning on attending the same events, etc! We are interested in filming performances, getting to know new folks to interview and having places to stay/hosts- we are also interested in finding collaborative artists who would like to be a part of Travel Queeries (animation, video art, visual art, music, footage of queer events, etc.)

Locations 2007:
BELGRADE (Serbia)
COPENHAGEN (Denmark) www.queerfestival.com

BARCELONA (Spain)

MILANO/ROMA (Italy)
