Post-Production

Hello all...

Travel Queeries has finally finished all filming and we are moving into post-production! (A creative yet long process). Our goal is to do some focus group screenings in Seattle/Olympia and in Europe in Spring/Summer 2008.

Fall 2008 we will do the finishing touches with sound and color and then have it done either for Oct. 08 or Jan. 09... then premier, tour film festivals and community spaces/events, look into broadcasting and touring universities also and then to DVD.


We are in the process of looking for an editor and transferring tapes to dvd so we can just sit down and watch everything and get ready for editing. Also looking at post-production grants, coming up with fundraisers, doing research on pr, etc.

We have added an additional Producers (Lindsay Martin) and two new interns/translators (Marianna Rossi and Yuhei Miyauchi). It's exciting to have such a large and strong group of people working on the project!!!

We also have our new 8 min. extended trailer and it will be up online very soon (will add link on the blog also).

***If you would like to come to any of our focus group screenings, please contact us via the website. Also, please pass the word along for our call for an editor!!!!

thanks!!!! team tq

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:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WrYIXe-YID0
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)
