Hello, readers.  I hope you are all doing very well.  After roughly two weeks in operation, I'm very pleased that the website is receiving many new visitors, and I encourage you all to keep checking back for updates.  The production itself is having to take a break for both myself and Brandon to get moved into our dorms for this semester of school.  This, however, doesn't mean that new updates won't be posted regularly.

This update has to do with setting.  I feel that our film is very dedicated to this aspect, and lots of time will be spent getting that just right.  When looking at the old TMNT comics, I've noticed that they retain a gritt, and grain that is a product of the Frank Miller inspired art, and the quirky dialogue.  It's also a product of the time, the mid-80's, when this kind of art was being pioneered in main-stream comics in America.  For this reason, the film will be set in 1984 as not only an homage to the year that the first issue of TMNT was released, but to the general feeling associated with the mid-eighties by most Americans.

We feel that this creative direction gives the movie a surrealistic distance from our own time, and helps the film stand alone in terms of presentation.  We plan on interpretting the 80's in the most melodramatic way possible, adding the dreariness, gritt and fog present in low quality 80's film camera's, particularly those used for television programs, and British sit-coms.

Keep your eye on this space for more Other Strangeness updates, and several more big reveals.   Also, our site is now featured on the premiere Turtles fan site, www.mikeystmnt.com, check them out!  Peace, and God bless
