Who You Gonna Call?
April 5th, 2010

It’s up! Go watch it!

This script, like that for Le Cafe last week, is one we’ve had kicking around for quite some time. Both scripts were written by Paul, and both presented unique location issues. However, these issues resolved themselves around the same time, through the relationship we’ve developed with the Victoria Event Centre (home of the Phillips Comedy Night). We owe a great deal of thanks to them for the use of their facility.

Who You Gonna Call was filmed in a few hours after dark on the roof of the VEC, the week before we left for PAX East and New York. It was a relatively fast and straightforward shoot, but preparations took most of the day. We wanted to make absolutely certain that this video looked great, so that meant spending as much time as possible putting together the costumes for our heroes. Some serious rummaging though Value Village later, and I don’t think we could have done much better.

Enjoy!

First off, thanks to everyone who came out to our set at the Phillips Comedy night on Sunday. It was a lot of fun. A few bumps here and there, but it went well on the whole, and we hope you enjoyed watching it as much as we enjoyed performing it. And for those who didn’t manage to attend, yes, we did film it. Expect the video to be released sometime after the LoadingReadyLive DVDs go out.

Secondly, by this time Next week, the crew will be in Boston, at the PAX East convention. As per the schedule, our panel at the con is Saturday night from 10PM to 11PM, in the Manticore Theatre. Hopefully We’ll see you there. Additionally, I believe we’re going to try and have a fan meet-up at some point, but where or what that will entail exactly we don’t know. I’ll try and post details next thursday here on the blog and on Twitter, so just make sure to check back, and you should get all the info you need.

Cheers.

In which the LRR crew are “Con” artists
January 27th, 2010

Posted by Matt

It appears that February will be a busy month for the LRR crew, and an exciting one for LRR fans! We have no less than four appearances scheduled this month!

The first is GottaCon, which happens over the weekend of February 5-7 at the pearkes Recreation centre at Tillicum Mall. LRR has a panel and sceening block scheduled at the con on Sunday Feb. 7th at 12:00 PM. Please see their site (linked above) for admission details.

The following weekend sees us in attendance at two events. The Vancouver Island Short Film Festival will be showing two of our films (‘Mercenary Solutions’ and ‘The Secret of the Sauce’) on the evenings of Friday Feb 12th and Saturday Feb 13th, at the Malaspina Theatre on the Nanaimo Vancouver Island University campus. The Crew will be in attendance for the Saturday showing, but if you can’t make that one, you should try to get to the Friday show anyhow – the festival shows a ton of great short films from all sorts of local film-makers, and the festival really deserves your support. Tickets can be purchased at the doors (doors are at 6:30PM) or in advance from the Nanaimo Art Gallery at Vancouver Island University, Falcnor books at Port Place Mall in dowtown Nanaimo, The Nanaimo Arts Council in the Nanaimo North Town Centre, House of Indigo on Commercial St. in downtown Nanaimo.

The Sunday of that weekend, on Feb 14th, LRR will be attending the Phillips Comedy Night, a monthly shocase of Victoria’s local comedy scene, featuring sketch, stand-up, improv, video, and sometimes even musical comedy. The featured act for this show is Slut Revolver. Tickets are $10, ($8 for students), and are available at the door. The event is held at the Victoria Event Centre on Broad St. Doors are at 7:30PM, curtain at 8. (As an additional heads up, LoadingReadyRun will be performing a live set the following month for the Mar. 14th comedy night, so make sure you come to that one too!)

And finally, on the weekend of the 19th-21st LRR will be appearing at TsukinoCon (formerly Kei-Kon) at the University of Victoria. We have a panel and screening block scheduled for 8PM on saturday the 20th. The schedule is not yet available on their site, but my understanding is that we will be in the main auditorium. Check back on their site for details as they are confirmed, as well as for registration details and prices.

Hopefully you can make it to all (or at least one) of these great events, and we look forward to seeing you there!
