Inception

No, not that one.  This is about our film.

The team that put "Wake Up Call" together has been looking for the right project to collaborate on.  With the discovery of the short-film festival held by the director's favorite craft brewery, that opportunity presented itself.

It might seem unlikely, but it's based on a true story.  The first act is pulled, nearly verbatim, from an actual birthday dinner chat.  The rest of it skews a little hypothetical. 

Our script's first draft is dated January 13, 2011.  Over the course of six weeks, the crew would commit to a legitimate production effort: producing storyboards, custom-building props, securing locations and recording gear, shooting, and editing.  Through the generosity of local business-owners, we would be allowed to shoot in a nice restaurant and bar, meaning all our scouting trips would at least taste really good.

Coming up is a summary of the three basic stages of our production.
