Quarter Orange News

Greetings!

I hope the end of February is treating you all as well as it is us at QO. As I stare out the window at this beautiful (early) Spring day, I’m stuck inside finishing up the last bit of Sound Design for “Fall of the Xin”. Not that I really mind, really, I can’t wait for you guys to see this, it should be up next week! For a quick laugh, check our original “Fall of the Incans”.

Earlier this week we got the chance to attend a tasting event put on by Portland Marketing Representative Courtney Clarke for Dry Fly distilleries in Spokane, Washington. You might remember this name from an earlier post. Three of the of the four us (not me) got a chance to try their whiskey at the American Distillers Festival. But I got a chance to have try some of their gin. I'm not much of a gin drinker, but the gin and tonic I had at Cha Taqueria on NW 2st and Everett, here in Portland, was fantastic! Dry fly is a truly local business utilizing Washington wheat, and apples, along with quality Oreon juniper berries at a distillery in Spokane. If you get a chance to pick up a bottle of their Gin, I would suggest doing so.

We also started work in earnest on our DVD compilation. I am personally very excited about this. We're going to sell our DVD much like the compilation tapes of old, sold out of the trunk of your car - in a digital sense. The plan is to utilize Amazon's CreateSpace to sell them on the interwebs. While also allowing for a cheaper digital download without the "special features" (Just like a real DVD). Watch for more news on that in the coming month!

And finally we're all looking forward to the 500 cuts film, Forge screening on March 18, at the Clinton theater, 9pm. Forge was directed by our own Jason Windsor, co produced with Walker, assistant directed by yours truly, and KG pulled double duty as gaffer and key grip on set. I have been very honored to watch this film go through the whole post production process, and know how good it is going to be.

I also just wanted to say thanks, we had the most views this month as we have ever had. It's awesome that you guys are interested in what we are doing, and we hope to have more and more rad stuff to put up in the coming months.
