FortyFPS Designs Cannes Ad, Guest Directing American Mary

American Mary is soon to be off to the South Of France with co-producer Evan Tylor and IndustryWorks Pictures, traveling to this year's 64th annual Cannes Film Festival. Our teaser poster will be paired with a newly designed, full-sized 8.5" x 11" trade-ad featuring the delightful Katharine Isabelle. The ad is a mash-up of images torn from iconic American magazines. Click the preview image below to view the print.


If you would like to have the poster for yourself or help promote the film, I have uploaded the original full-sized file so you can download and print the poster from home at full press quality. Semi-Gloss if it is handy.

Also, as announced by the film's co-director Sylvia Soska on Facebook, I will be guest directing a key 9 minute sequence in American Mary, the specific details of which are being kept under wraps by request. The Twins have mentioned in recent interviews that after American Mary, they will permanently transition away from acting in their films into working exclusively behind the scenes. Whatever assumptions that could be made connecting these two unrelated statements are probably true.

Limited run DVDs of these videos were sent out to all those who donated and one of the additional features was an electricity free, alternate acoustic performance of "Sinner" filmed live, without any prior warning or rehearsal, which we now present to you in full 1080p HD:


Additional thanks to Adam Veenendaal who mastered the audio.

Re-Introducing Margaret Bird, FortyFPS Productions

As you may have noticed by now, everything FortyFPS related has been completely overhauled and re-structured based around our previous, awkward first attempt at a side scrolling website. The production company is also now graphical represented by a magpie named Margaret Bird. The name marries our YouTube Channel username with the image that is an updated version of a logo used for promotion of The Stalls over ten years ago.
