Hi sQuarelist,

Two things.

First off, we thought to give the sQuare newslist a more thorough run-down of what we need to accomplish before our deadline of September 14th.

As it stands now, we have 230 hours of film about some of the most interesting people in electronic music.

In the work we've accomplished so far, here are some moments we've earmarked for use in SiC:

- In the studio with Robag Whrume. One of the world's premiere remix talents, we see him work, and procrasinate, in his small community in the mountains of former East Germany

- Preparing for the annual "family" dinner at Kompakt, featuring Kompakt artists and employees cooking for the special evening.

- The last weekend in America with ex-patriot and accomplished writer Philip Sherburne as he prepares to leave for Barcelona.

- Club preparation with DJ Spinoza, as the NYC techno promoter reconciles a club's flamboyant, psychedelic aesthetic with his own minimal ideals.

And so on.

*Speaking in Code approaches electronic music with levels of intimacy unrivaled by any other film about the scene.

Logging the remaining footage and marking where interesting moments and shots happen is our #1 priority before we can dive into editing the movie itself. So far, we have 4 dedicated loggers on board to help us sort footage in the weeks ahead.

More are always welcome. If you have knowledge of Final Cut Pro and would like to gain valuable experience in the world of documentary film, shoot an email to director Amy Grill at amy@squar3.com

We have also been reaching out to our local contacts via the Independent Film Festival of Boston, Video Underground and the Filmmakers Workshop. The advice and feedback that individuals at these organizations has provided is invaluable and reassuring. It is great for us to hear that people of all types are quite fascinated with the stories and characters our film represents.

In addition to reviewing hundreds of hours of film and fielding advice from industry professionals, we are also looking for investors to help us hit our September deadline. To assist us with this work, we have brought on a new producer, our friend and expert fund-raiser and development professional Alexandra Lee.

Alex is currently working with the Constellation Center, a state-of-the-art cinema performing arts center facility to be built in Kendall Square, Cambridge, as a development associate - raising the capital funds to make the Center a reality.

We are quite ready to talk to individual investors on our project. A business plan and other information is available by request. To be sure, everyone who has contributed via our benefits and via our website will be duly compensated with screen credit and so forth, but the time has come for our potential Executive Producers and Associate Producers to come on board with us.

With the assistance of friends and family, sQuare productions has spent over $50,000 to date. We are looking forward to gaining partners to help us the rest of the way.

If you are interested in receiving more information about investment opportunities with SiC, please feel free to contact Alex via email at alex@squar3.com. She will be able to answer questions regarding our business plan, benefits and rights of investors, and any other questions you may have.

sQuare productions has long been a business, but now Speaking in Code, LLC is ready for contributors.

Our 4-minute trailer will debut on the Internet in mere days!

Thank you.
