First day of shooting “pick-up” scenes went really well today.

Every movie has to re-shoot some scenes or shots after the initial wrap to fix technical glitches, camera or lighting issues, continuity mistakes in dialogue, wardrobe or props, or to adjust a performance based on things that were discovered later in the shooting schedule.

Due to proper planning and “shot listing” by the director and assistant director during principal photography, we’re very fortunate to have only one more scene to re-shoot (the sun set before we could finish it during the main shoot), and then we move on to the “2nd unit” photography of landscapes, cars driving, timelapses and other shots where the principal actors are not needed.

FAVORITE CATCH PHRASE? Okay, we know you haven’t seen the movie yet, but believe us when we tell you that it’s chock full of catch phrases everyone will know and love. Our Limited Edition t-shirts offer three of the phrases our cast and crew has deemed most worthy.

“I will have my gold!” shouted by evil Lord Montague (Spike Spencer) echoes through the alternate dimension as he battles his young opponents to escape his centuries of confinement and return to the living world.

“Live To Sweat” is the motto of Godric’s (Richard Epcar) sweat lodge, as worn by his money-grubbing business partner Ira (Avi Melman.)

We’ve posted a scene from the actual movie online. Sweat lodge spiritual “guru” Godric and his business manager Ira discuss the aftermath of four young people disappearing into an alternate dimension during Godric’s sweat lodge ceremony. It’s not the first time this has happened. It’s a “must see” scene!

This scene is available to all our VIP Members!

Thanks for the visit, Mark, and the kind words about Broken Spirits!

We are excited to announce that Andy McPhee from the hit TV show Sons of Anarchy has been added to the cast.

Andy plays “Mr. Oldman,” an old gold prospector whom the young heroes meet early in the movie. He offers a warning about the dangers at the sweat lodge they’re going to, and holds a special power to communicate with the alternate dimension that could be crucial to the life-or-death situation they’ll find themselves in.

We are excited to announce that Broken Spirits is now being produced in association with Anime Expo! We are extremely excited about this partnership, and will have more information about it to come in the future.

Here are some stills from the first two weeks of shooting. Check back for some behind the scenes video!
