Stock Market crashing but not everything is going down...

While the financial crisis continues on Wall Street, there is positive news to be found in our realm. Combined internet views of our 'Extended Teaser Trailer' for Night Before the Wedding has exceeded 5000 views. Not too shabby. This is great news considering we have not been able to really promote it, as we are submersed in the editing process. Coming up for air to report this news, then it is right back to editing.

The 'Teaser Trailer' does not feature one frame of footage from the film itself. So you do not have to worry about spoilers. People have asked if the film is a documentary because the 'Teaser' is shot in documentary fashion. No it is not a documentary. It is a full fledged scripted feature film. We will have an official theatrical trailer online as soon as we can. We currently have Production Stills online and we are certain to have Screenshots in the near future.

We encourage you to view the trailer. We would love your feedback. If you like what you see, please help us spread the word by passing the trailer on.

Had a wild time at the Opening Night of the 4th Annual HollyShorts Film Festival last night. Came away with some exciting moments. We got our promotional items into the hands of Paul Haggis, Josh Brolin, and Larry Hankin amongst many others.

Also spoke with the Festival Organizers Theo Dumont and Daniel Sol. They were inquiring about what I had in the works. Let them know about our upcoming Fundraising Event on Friday August 15th and how we were going to have a special screening of the 'Teaser Trailer' for Night Before the Wedding.

They made the offer to screen it tonight at Club Nacional as part of the HollyShorts Film Festival and it was an offer I couldn't turn down. I turned in a copy to them today and they will screen the trailer tonight before their slate of Music Videos. It is a FREE event that even includes some free drinks. Just get your RSVP in to RSVP@HOLLYSHORTS.COM

The address is 1645 Wilcox Avenue in Hollywood, CA. The event runs from 7pm to 11pm. If you are in the area, get out and check it out. Going to be a fanstastic night. Let us know what you think of our 'Teaser Trailer' and for those of you worried about *spoilers*....don't worry, there isn't an ounce of footage from the movie itself in the trailer.

Hollywood, CA (July 15, 2008)— Glimpse of Dreams Productions announced today the final selection of actors for Director David Branin’s (Shoot-Out, Honey, I’m Home) first and highly anticipated feature-length film NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING.

John Keating (Identity Theft, “Mind of Mencia”) plays William Shay, a kind, innocent and clean-cut man who’s at the center of the story.

Shay is joined by a group of colorful high school/college friends who congregate to celebrate his last night of freedom. Among them, Gregor Collins (The Society of Lost Causes, “Passions”) who plays Tom “Bronco” Patrick; Johnny Giordano (The Forest Demon) playing Bobby Demayo; theater actor Chad Davis as Rudy Giovanni; Kevin Deen (“Grey Matter”) as Norm Satyanaraya; James Anthony as Corey Sullivan; Frantz Durand as Demetrius Winfield; Zane Patterson as Jake Spees; and Kristen Sullivan (“The Drew Carey Show”) as Will’s beautiful and unaware bride Beth Jankowski.

Gregor Collins

Joining the ensemble cast as the perilous and stunning enticers are newcomer Sarah Ronaghi (“Nip/Tuck”), embracing the role of Melissa Mercury and adult entertainer La’Rin Lane as herself. “The decision to cast a real life porn star was very much debated, but I wanted the film to have a true sense of authenticity and La’Rin couldn’t have been a better choice.” Said Branin, who also wrote the film’s script.

The film also features a special cameo appearance by platinum selling rapper Mopreme Shakur.

“I’m very proud of the cast we’ve assembled. Each and everyone of them is extremely talented and brings exceptionalism to the characters I’ve created. I’m looking forward to an exciting filming process.” concluded Branin.

NIGHT BEFORE THE WEDDING starts filming this Summer and will be released on the 2009 Film Festival Circuit, theatrically in Los Angeles, and on DVD.
