OK, just a quick update since it has been a while.
I have a rough cut of the movie together that clocks in at about 2 hours at this stage. The plan is to get it down under 90mins for the final cut.
I'm working with some incredibly talented people form the New Zealand film industry (more details on this in another update), and we are hoping to be able to get a full symphonic soundtrack recorded.
This pushes the time-line out quite a bit more alas, but should make for a far better film that will be well worth it in the end.
