DVD Pre-orders
It was going to happen eventually - you knew it.
We are currently working on the extras for the DVDs with the intention of having them available for purchase in late June.
What do we have planned for the added features?
(With the necessary disclaimer that any of these planned items could fall through before we get to the final authoring of the discs for any of a variety of reasons.)
We are working on two separate commentaries. A whole bunch of deleted scenes, including an alternate ending. Several short "making of" featurettes.
We do not yet know the sticker price on the DVDs as it in part is a result o the cost of making them - which of course we are not finished doing... and as with the cost of Mastering tapes, the price of DVDs is unstable right now due to trickle down from the fact that Japan is where most DVDs are made.
As soon as we have the price fixed we will make orders available on our website, but for now, you can do us a big favour by letting us know if you would like a DVD - the closer we can match our demand the better we can price the final product. Send us an email at ogopogodvd@gmail.com and give us an email where we can let you know the details as they come in (IE. When DVDs are available we'll tell you precisely how to secure your order and how to pay.) If you can also let us know how many DVDs you would like and the format (NTSC, PAL, or even Blu-Ray). We will assume NTSC region zero on all orders unless specified otherwise.
And for those of you in the Vancouver region, we have plans for a DVD release party which should be a lot of fun!

How Surreal....
Well, there we have it folks! Not that The Beast... can't do more, or go further than a Canadian cable broadcast - indeed we hope it will and are working on possibilities, at least one of which is essentially a certainty.
Last Wednesday night - almost late afternoon here on the West coast - Super Channel had it's first screening of the film.
I had taken my family back to my hometown on short notice to see my father who had recently had knee replacement surgery. It was good timing. While we were there, Dad and his wife ordered Super Channel and we invited some of their other grandkids as well as the band that lives in Prince George that plays two songs in the film - the Pucks - to come over and watch the film with us.
I must admit that it was kind of odd.
On one hand, I've seen the film on TV before... or at least on A TV. So in that sense there was nothing remarkable about the viewing. Indeed, I sat in the kitchen (still in view of the screen, but very off-axis) and drank beer and listened to people's reactions. But on the other hand there was the knowledge that at the same time there could be people in Halifax and Montreal and Kenora and Moose Jaw and Kamloops all watching the same broadcast. It's something I could really only grasp intellectually - it didn't really feel any different than watching a DVD screener.
I grudgingly suppose it is now only a matter of time before the damned thing is available in pirated form for download*.... sigh.
*THIS IS NOT AN INVITATION!
