Circumference Selected Into Bend Film Festival

It was whispered in our ears by one of the higher-ups at the Bend Film Festival in Oregon that Circumference has been chosen by the jury for this year's festival. A specific date has not yet been announced, but when that information is released, we will post it here.

Enjoy Facebook? A group for Fortyfps Productions has been set up which, at this moment, features a higher quality version of Circumference than what exist in various other places around the net and the ability to interact/post comments to photos and various other things. Please come say hullo, and join the group if you don't mind.

969 Canceled, The Awkward Stage Video Isn't.

On day one of hiatus from 969, the producers and hosts were informed the show was not coming back. No real shock to those who were paying somewhat close attention. A music video is slated to be shot for The Awkward Stage, whenever it can be arranged. Mark Geary's third album is currently in the mixing stages of which we contributed to 7 of the songs, but what ends up on the final album remains to be seen at this point.

High Eh Tus

969's final tape date for the season is mere days away at which point everyone is fired for 6 weeks and then probably hired back in September.

969 Wins Best Youth Programming Leo Award

The 9th Annual Leo Awards were handed out Friday and Saturday in Vancouver and 969 was selected the 2006-2007 Best Youth Program! Congratulations to the entire cast and crew of the show. Pictures from this evening will show themselves on this page as soon as they are attained. (They are here.)

Directing Nationally

We will begin floor-directing 969 starting today (Season 11, Episode 12) and are slated to continue doing so until the end of the season. The first episode will go to air on CityTV Thursday, May 17th.

Hi There Ray!

The first fully written & produced segment created by us for 969 will air on CityTV Friday the 16th at 10am, and will air six times nationally on Razer Monday the 19th. It is slotted into the first half of the show. The segment will also be uploaded to the 'Best of 969' streaming video page early next week.

969

We have been recently hired to join the television show 969 as a segment producer. A brief description about the show: 'From the CityTV building in Vancouver, British Columbia comes a lifestyle magazine show featuring a full hour of music, celebrities, athletes, the latest in youth fashion, and reviews of the hottest video games.'

Second DVD...Seriously

In Circumference DVD news: there is now a second release being created. The Crazy 8s, run by Andrew Williamson, had it's final year this year - pending someone volunteering to take over from him. As a final major act to close out his 8 years with his creation, a distribution deal has been reached for a DVD to be mass produced featuring hand-chosen films from the contest's duration. Circumference was chosen to be one of the few included.

Their DVD is being rapidly produced and executed in the next week or two to meet the distributor's deadlines and will be available in a retail outlet sometime soon.

For those who have purchased a DVD from us, fear not: this new DVD will have only the short film along with the other chosen shorts. Our DVD, as mentioned in previous posts, has considerable content included within in for, more than likely, half the price of this forthcoming Crazy 8s one.
