on a mission to tell great stories
We had the great pleasure of screening OMAKASE on Saturday afternoon at AgeSong, a retirement community that generously donates their community room to us for auditions and rehearsal space. And, we filmed a scene of OMAKASE on their beautiful rooftop! Thanks to Sushi Frausto at AgeSong for coordinating the event and to the actors, Larry Kitagawa and Suilma Rodriguez for attending a lively QandA session.
Huge thanks to our 39 Kickstarter backers who made funding possible for the bus rental!! We made more than our target amount before the deadline. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you. We are busy in post-production of the film and will keep you updated along the way. You are AWESOME for believing in us and lending your support through Kickstarter. Please join our Shadow Angel Films Facebook fan page and stay connected!
What an incredible ride on the bus! With such a hardworking and talented cast and crew, we ran right on schedule and got all the shots we needed.
Check out what happened on the bus and see how fast the day went by for us!
We’re still in need of your help in getting all the way to our pledge goal on Kickstarter! Please alert your network that there’s a great film project they can support for just $5 or $10, and send them our way. And thank you, dear backers, for all the lovin’ you’ve already given!
How did our main characters meet and fall in love?
We asked the actors to answer this question in a rehearsal that we ran as an improv exercise one night. Watch the highlights of that night here.
We are revved up and ready to shoot on Sunday! We have just 8 more days to make our target pledge goal. Please ask your network to support an indie project for as little as $5 or $10, get cool rewards, and our enthusiastic thanks! Learn more here.
For previous auditions, we asked actors to perform part of the script. This time, because ON IT is a series of missed phone calls and the actors would be working without each other for many scenes, we ran auditions as improv exercises to find the most quick-thinking and entertaining actors.
And we found them! Now we want to share the parts of their auditions that won us over. We are pleased to present the ON IT actors, Tom Lazur and Aliza Rupert!

Our second film was first seen in the 2009 Doorpost Project contest. Now, the time has come to share it from our own site. Watch it again, or for the first time now! Right here!
Announcing the internet premiere of our first short film, SHADOW ANGEL. Filmed in 2009. Watch it now! Right Here!
Here’s a little peek at the musicians at work creating the amazing score for Omakase. Eric Carpenter on guitar and keyboard. Malin Huffman on violin. Jason Cline on upright bass.
Thanks to our great on-set photographers, Jon McNeal and Jules Cisek, we captured some great moments of movie magic during the filming of Omakase. Freshly uploaded to Flickr, have a look behind the scenes.
Finally SHADOW ANGEL is out in the world! We had a great premiere here in San Diego last night, and thanks to everyone who came out to support. Don Williams, lead actor, was stellar to have on the Q&A panel with us. Edie Smith, thank you for your publicity photo stunts and for always being there for us! Comic-Con truly is an amazing event and we were proud to be a part of it.
