Hiatus!

I was amazed to find that you can now pre-order A Dog's Breakfast - The DVD at Amazon.com. I can't wait to see what they do with this! We've provided Fox with some amazing extras for this thing...there's a mile a minute commentary track, deleted scenes (and these are full on scenes that I ended up removing for time...they're tons of fun, especially the extra Starcrossed pieces!) and Jane has produced a few incredible behind-the-scenes selections as well (these include interviews with Paul McGillion, Chris Judge, Kate Hewlett, Jim Menard (our cinematographer), John Lenic, Jane Loughman and Me...David Hewlett)! I also have no idea how many copies they're printing so hopefully we'll overwhelm them with orders and they'll have to do a nice big run of DVDs and we'll get this dreaded "International" release back on track and happening for the few people out there that don't live in North America ;-) If you've seen the film PLEASE review it and leave comments! The more activity on Amazon about this puppy the better!

Last day on Atlantis today...to be followed by about 2 days in bed and a whole lot of script writing for "Design of the Dead"...yay! Now if I could just persuade Jane to leave that tent in Glastonbury and come back to her two lost puppies!

Cheerio!

Going to Glastonbury? Jane and A Dog's Breakfast will be braving the crazy crowds (in a TENT no less!) of people much hipper and cooler than I shall ever be (or wish to be) at this years Glastonbury Music Festival! We're on the line-up with Serenity, Lord of the Rings, and Pirates of the Caribbean, Hot Fuzz and the 300 as well as every band you've ever heard of or will be hearing about in the next year...Did I mention that I have to work? ;-( So not only am I not going, I will be without Jane the entire time...Just in case you were feeling like things sucked for you right now...think again!

Shameless Self-Promotion

I'm hearing some nasty rumblings about a possible North American-only release for the A Dog's Breakfast DVD's! I'm really hoping these rumors are untrue! I can't believe that in this day and age, and with such a huge and loyal fan-base throughout the "rest of the world" (even the term "international" drives me crazy when the "rest of the world" is a tiny bit bigger and more populated than "here"!) that they are even considering being that narrow-minded. Which I hasten to add, they may not be. None of this is "official" so please don't start making a fuss...just yet. I'll keep you posted and if it looks like things are heading that way, we'll start mailing the right people dog bones or something more suitable (maybe bones for being bone-heads). Anyway, the best thing we can do right now is make sure that everyone hears about it. We need to keep the film in people's line of sight so that there's no excuse for not getting it out to the world. The more people who hear about A Dog's Breakfast the better. Please do what you can to let everyone know about the film and that it's coming out on DVD in September. Here's a few suggestions:

I've found another website that could be interesting from a marketing perspective. It's called spout.com and it's all about writing and sharing movie reviews. For those of you who have seen the film, if you can bear it, I would love to get some reviews of "A Dog's Breakfast" up there. Also please makes sure you rate it and recommend it as well. I thought it's probably a bit slimy for me to write it myself...though it did occur to me! Could we do the same on IMDB.com as well? And please feel free to do the same on any other movie related websites you find. It all helps!

Also, just a reminder about those Blogger's Choice Awards please make sure that you vote for this site once in ALL the categories. We're really hoping that this will bring in new interest as well.
