The Not Next Big Blue ?
Posted By Paul Kotik on 14 January 2007
Sky - There will be about three new scenes that will enrich the story, and further development of the freediving scenes. In addition, there will be special features on the DVD including extended diving montages, a montage from Stingray City in Cayman, an up-close and personal interview with actor Justin Williford, and a photo slideshow. A future version of the film is also planned that will inter-cut documentary footage discussing the latest research in freediving and sports psychology.
DB - Where can I see the final cut ?
Sky - The final release will be submitted to film festivals and also made available on DVD. We are currently taking pre-orders for the DVD. It will also be available on HD-DVD and Blue-Ray, which is exciting because it will be among the first wave of titles available in these new formats.
The film has already received invitations to six film festivals in the US and Europe, and we've also been approached by a few distribution companies. We're also interested in alternative media distribution. It's an exciting time to be making movies because there are so many alternatives to traditional distribution.
DB - Are you glad you did it ?
Sky - Whew. All in all, it's been a great challenge and learning about the sport of freediving has been fascinating. I look forward to getting feedback from the freediving community once the film is finished. Hopefully no one's disappointed that the protagonist doesn't die from freediving, but my hunch is that anyone who's felt the peace and beauty of diving will identify with the core of this film.
