From the "Enhanced" trivia file:

"The film's opening sequence graphic that contains teleportation data shows planetary destination coordinates 39.744410, -104.990278 which does, in fact, specify the exact actual location of the alley behind the Paramount Theater in Denver where Alec arrives (and where the scene was shot). Similarly geeky, the destination time address shown in decimal, 2025.6598744, really is August 25, 2025 at 20:30 hours, but that is only "approximately" the date and time the scene was filmed."

I am delighted to report that "Enhanced" passes The Bechdel Test for gender equality in film with flying colors!

1. There are at least two women in the film, and they all have names,
2. They do talk to one another,
3. They talk to one another about more than men.

(Who thinks of these things?) :)

How appropriate, on this first day of spring 2015 that "Enhanced" is done. :) Just watched the blu-ray and it's a thing of wonder!

After more SFX and a couple of passes over the dialog, nat sound, tone, and score mix, things are getting VERY close now... *dance*

08/02/2015

I just heard a more finished version of the score for the picture-lock edit of the film and it is nothing short of incredible. Kudos and heartfelt thanks to Mark D'Errico... I know it's easy for me to say, but we have a real film on our hands folks... :)

09/01/2015

The rough cut of the film is complete. There is, of course, still a lot of audio work, effects, and a few pickup shots yet to do, but it is a big happiness to see the story all the way to the end. :)

Weather has delayed our last remaining night exterior until next week, so it's a perfect time to record LAURIA's voice overs with the talented Jackie Gest.

At almost the end of week three, amazing work from our sensational cast and crew in the recesses of the dark, dusty warehouse spaces where our two temporally-displaced mercenaries duke it out!
