“Free” Wraps Production!
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.
