As we celebrate the birth of grand old America today, as well as observe the two-days-late third-year anniversary of ridgwayfilms.com being online, let’s take a moment to give an update on all the recent news at Ridgway Films HQ.

Three Day Weekend: Currently, we are in the thick of pre-production for Three Day Weekend, an original film project we will be shooting next week. The story was written by Elliott Ridgway and will star Robert Thomas, Brenen Hankins, Andrewblake Cullen, and Matthew Thomas. It will be a road trip comedy, as well as our summer swan song, since it will most likely be the last major non-Earthbound project we’ll all be able to shoot together. Right now, we don’t know if the film will appear online immediately when it’s finished, as we’re going to try to enter it into different film festivals first. However, you’ll be able to keep up with the status of filming next week by following our Twitter page, where we’ll be retweeting posts by Robert. |
| Earthbound: Combined principal photography for Earthbound Episode 7 and the currently half-finished fan documentary will begin immediately after we wrap shooting for Three Day Weekend. We can’t really say much about Episode 7 other than the script is nearly ready, and this episode does indeed go all the way to the end of the game. On the topic of the fan documentary, those of you who submitted comments (albeit comments that are now a year old) will be happy to know that we are going to be able to answer EVERY question you asked! We’re really happy with the way the documentary is shaping up and hope you guys will find it funny and interesting. |  |

Earthbound Part Two DVD: Which brings me to the upcoming Earthbound: Part Two DVD. This DVD will contain high quality versions of Earthbound Episode 4: Dark Side of the Moon and Earthbound Episode 5: Cake. Also, the aforementioned fan documentary will appear ONLY on the new DVD, so you’ll have to get the DVD to find out what crazy way we answered your question or shot your suggested idea. There will also be tons of bonus footage, outtakes, interviews, extra movies, as well as commentary on nearly everything! We will probably be producing the DVD at the end of this summer, after we wrap production on Episode 7. Stay tuned for a full list of what’s going to be on this DVD! |
UbseyTrip 2012: The remainder of the footage from UbseyTrip 2012 will be posted after we get all these other projects off our plates. UbseyMovies will be posting videos of full songs from the Super Soul Bros. show at Iguana’s Burritozilla in the near future.
Fangamer Podcast 127: Last week, Elliott made a guest appearance on the Fangamer podcast, alongside hosts Jeff Benson, Melissa King, and Ben Carignan of Fobbies Are Borange fame. The topic was video game movies, as made by Hollywood, Uwe Boll, and independent YouTube filmmakers like ourselves. Give it a listen!
That’s all, folks!
