Nothing To Declare

Nothing To Declare one sheet

So, of course, since the creation of a dedicated website for The Devil’s Tail, this poor Ardent Pictures website has appeared neglected.

As we worked hard to get the Devil’s site implemented and keep it up-to-date, we continued showing it at various film festivals in the US, which is of course, another full time job in itself.  The entire DT story can be found on its site, and is still ongoing.

Meanwhile work began overhauling this site and on the script for the new movie, thus far called Nothing To Declare.

When we were invited to show Devil at BIFF in February, we knew theirs was a good festival by reputation, and they kept you hopping with press conferences, awards ceremonies, parties, etc., in other words – we were going to be meeting a lot of people in a very compressed amount of time and talking shop.

We decided that, along with doing Q&A’s and promoting The Devil’s Tail, we also wanted to be able start talking about the next feature in a quick concise way by having a one-sheet do the talking for us. So when someone asked “what are you doing next?” we could say “this”, and hand someone a sheet with some nice visuals on the ‘cover’ and a synopsis on the reverse side.

Craig Allen of the Richmond Studio designed this cover for us in fairly short order, and he had his work cut out for him. The actress in the shot is on location in Mexico; the 2 actors were shot by pal Steve Abbott in another country a year later against another wall and digitally placed next to her, complete with their hand-realized shadows against ‘her’ wall….
