Things are moving forward with The Frankenstein Brothers. First of all, please join our new Facebook fan page, that will be our primary platform for keeping y’all updated. We’ve got a week of additional shooting coming up, and after that about another month or two of editing before we move into the final stages of post: sound, music, and color.

We recently received our poster concepts from the unbelievably talented designer, Dan Chapman of Chapman Motion Picture Advertising Design. He’s a legend, and he’s designed the poster for everything from Almost Famous, Airforce One, Ferngully, Road to Perdition, The Rock, Speed, to The Wrestler. He’s as good as it gets, and our final poster is sure to kick ass, so stay tuned for that.

Before our final poster comes out, we have to decide on a concept. Below are some very rough conceptual ideas Dan has come up with. Basically, we pick one of these and then he actually creates it from scratch. So, please, share your opinion!

Dutch publishing house Abimo Publishers bought one of my photographs for use on the cover of a young adult fiction book entitled “Vluchten.” This is the synopsis:

Musa is sixteen and Palestinian. He grew up in Hebron, a city with two hundred thousand inhabitants in the occupied Palestinian territories. Since the establishment of a few hundred Israeli settlers in the center of the city, thousands of Palestinians expelled from their homes and closed hundreds of stores. Hebron has become a ghost town. Musa meets Rachel, the daughter of a fanatical settler. First he wants to admit it to himself, but after a while he can not bottom. He is in love! Musa is accused of collaborating with the Israelis and flight to the Netherlands. Will he ever see Rachel?

Can’t wait to get my hands on a copy. Can be purchased here for the low price of only £13.95!

So with these last two pictures, I’ve officially edited every one of my edit-worthy photos from the last four years. From this point forward, if I want to have new photos to edit, I’ll have to take new ones.

Here’s to an epic year ahead.
