Sci-fi/Fantasy Series by Standing Sun Productions
We wrapped production on our first Delantare short film, entitled Free, on January 16th! Editing is now under way, and we’re hoping to have the film completed in time to submit to the Paonia Film Festival by February 5th. It was a cold, grueling, yet very fun shoot. We’ll be releasing the film online sometime in February as we gear up for our big fundraising push for the series pilot.
Until then, here are some behind the scenes and promo photos! Click or tap any photo to enlarge.
As preproduction and fundraising continue for the pilot episode of the Delantare series, we’re also working on another project that’s part of the Delantare world! We’ll be making a short film to act as a concept reel for the show, entitled Free.
On the run from a deadly tyrant, an escaped slave stumbles upon a half-dead traveler who may not make it without her help.
Filming for this five minute short will take place on January 16, 2016, and stars Paige Awtrey as an escaped slave named Zana.

We’re very excited to be making our first official cinematic foray into the world of Delantare, and sharing it with the world very soon!
We’re excited to announce that Tim Nolte has joined the writing team, and will be working on revising the pilot script!
Tim Nolte, owner of Maskil Productions, has over a decade of experience in professional production. He earned a degree in writing and directing from Colorado Film School. Tim’s award-winning work has given him skills in virtually every aspect of filmmaking, from writing and directing to editing and visual effects. His credits include the award-winning shorts Fulfillment and Fearless, as well as work on local and national television shows, three independent feature films, dozens of short films, commercials, music videos, and educational videos. He spent 8 years as a Final Cut Studio trainer for Apple Inc., and currently works as a director of photography shooting classes for Craftsy.com.
Tim has some very exciting ideas for the story of Delantare, and we’re very happy to have him as a part of the team!
The first draft of the pilot script has been completed!
Of course, the first draft is just the start! Now begins the rewriting process to really make the story the best it can be! But this is definitely a HUGE step!
The first step in creating the Delantare series was putting together what’s called a “series bible.” Basically, it’s a document that lays out background information on the world of the story, introduces the main characters, and gives summaries and outlines of the story. The series bible then acts as a guideline for writers to make sure their scripts are consistent with the overall vision for the show.
Well, we finally completed ours!
Sorry, but the cover of this 20 page document is all we can show you at this time. 😉 But now that the bible is complete, writing has now begun on the pilot script!
Exciting times ahead! Be sure to like Delantare on Facebook and follow on Twitter, and spread the word about this exciting new sci-fi series coming out of Colorado!
