Is the Script available anywhere????


I'd love to read the script if it's available anywhere. Great film, I'd love to compare what was shot and what actually ended up in the film.
I've been thinking a lot lately about doing something myself, and I have a similar Canon camera and could probably come up with a similar budget, so this film and everything about it is really inspirational to me. So anything about the making of it interests me.

We actually made a paperback book of the shooting script as a gift to all the crew and then as a prize to give away at film festivals. Though we haven't advertised it or anything yet, it IS available to order that book here http://www.lulu.com/shop/jeremy-gardner/the-battery-the-shooting-script/paperback/product-21167777.html

It's a cool little book (I design cookbooks when I'm not filming movies.) Jeremy's script is at times surprisingly the same as the final movie and other times entirely different, especially the ending.

I wish you much luck in your own work. When we finish DVD/BluRays in the next few months there will be tons of behind the scenes stuff, because we love seeing the process too. Until then, I am going to be starting a blog about cameras, cinematography, and the making of The Battery at www.unfilmed.com. That should be going live at the end of the month and will get into the real technical stuff of how we did it... Right now it's just Latin text as a placeholder, don't mind that.

Thanks for the link - I ordered it. Sounds good, looking forward to reading it. Your blog sounds like a great idea, I'll keep a look out for it going live. And good luck with the Blu-ray/Dvd, I'll be pre-ordering that as soon as I can. The more inspiration I can find the better.

Thanks for the links and good luck with your future projects.
