FAITH GRANGER
TO UNVEIL HER BRAND NEW MINI SERIES "AGAINST ALL ODDS, THE
MAKING OF DEUCE OF SPADES" AT THE FAMOUS LA ROADSTER SHOW,
FATHER'S DAY WEEK-END.
After slaving for a
year and a half to create an epic 6-episode mini series documentary,
FAITH GRANGER announced it is finally done and ready for release.
"Making this documentary feature was challenging in many ways: The
scope of the story to be told, the amount of behind the scenes stock
footage to swift through and filming the narration and special
guests interviews, all took an extensive amount of work and time.
Simply put, it felt like a tunnel with virtually no end. When you
are single handedly tackling a 6 episode mini-series, heavily packed
with content, you are in for a lot of blood sweat and tears. But I
knew all along it was well worth the efforts, because this amazing
story deserved to be told: It is going to inspire and motivate many
many people to go after their dreams, and see them through". The new
release features three dual layer discs, including a bonus DEUCE OF
SPADES SPECIAL FEATURES disc packed with deleted scenes from the
film, cast interviews, blooper reel etc... See event flyer
here.

GRANGER
ANNOUNCES THE RELEASE OF A COMPLETE 6-DISC COLLECTOR'S
SPECIAL EDITION BOX SET.
"I had planned all
along to make this box set available to my fans, so when I released
the soundtrack, in 2012, I packaged it in a DVD case, to go with the
film. I knew all along that I would then release a BONUS DVD to
complete the 3 piece set concept, and then release a slip case to
place all 3 items in. Well, this concept has now materialized. I
have created the 3d DVD (a triple disc DVD release, no less!) and we
just finished printing the box set slip cases. They are very
beautiful. I think any one would love to have one on their shelf.
Yeah downloads are the new fad right now and are convenient, but
there's something to be said about holding in your hand a DVD
collection. It's tangible, it's real, it's old school and that's the
way to go for me. I am excited about this new release. Six discs,
over 10 hours of DEUCE OF SPADES content... It represents my entire
body of work, all of my creations. It is my legacy." The box sets
are available
here.

"AGAINST ALL
ODDS, THE MAKING OF DEUCE OF SPADES" DVDs NOW BEING
REPLICATED.
The new release is now
being replicated and will be ready for the LA ROADSTER SHOW. "I have
decided that the LA ROADSTER show was the perfect event to unveil my
new release. Afterall, this is one of the oldest, most famous
roadster car club, and their yearly show has been going on for
DECADES, it is a tradition amongst roadster owners. They have always
been very supportive of my film, so it only makes sense to launch
the new DVD there on Father's Day week-end.
FAITH GRANGER
NEW RELEASE NOW AT DVD AUTHORING STAGE
"AGAINST ALL ODDS, THE
MAKING OF DEUCE OF SPADES" has been dropped off to ALPHA DOGS post
production house for final DVD authoring. "What that means is that
we are just about done. They will create the masters that are
compatible with all countries players so fans around the globe can
enjoy this new release. I can honestly say that, other than Sean
Williams who is currently encoding the masters, NOT A SINGLE PERSON
was involved in the making of this mini series, but me. Not a single
volunteer, crew person, cameraman, assistant. Even my narration was
self filmed, with no one there but me, my camera and a remote
control. No one at all. I did absolutely everything from A to Z all
alone. Goes to show: It can be done!"

myself AFTER EFFECTS in a couple weeks to make this pretty elaborate
title animation, to complement the animation that my friend DARREN
DAGOSTINO had created for the film, a few years ago. I am very happy
with the results, everything looks very professional."

those kick ass rockabilly songs really took them to the next level.
You are going to really enjoy watching!".

are very excited about this new DVD and have been very patient and
supportive through the whole process." said Faith. "I am not sure
yet when it will be done, but I am working on this 24/7. I literally
have had NO LIFE since I started this, and that's what it takes to
pull something of that length off. The 6 episodes will add up to a
3.5 hr runtime. That's a lot of content: Thousands of clips,
transitions, volume curves, editing decisions to make... And only
ONE person to do it all".'S

difficult footage conversion task now behind her, editing can be

would have given up, but I am like a bulldog. Once I bite, I never
let go. And I got it done. Now I can finalize editing, take the
rough cut I have and polish it. There is still a lot of work to be
done, including all segment transitions, title treatment, credit
roll, music etc... I will be at it for a few more months, for sure."

FAITH GRANGER
STARTS POST PRODUCTION ON HER NEW RELEASE
FAITH GRANGER
announced that her new project will be a 6-episode mini series.
Editing has started and promises to be challenging. "I am dealing
with an enormous amount of stock footage to distill into the best,
most memorable moments. To complicate the task further, the footage
was shot by cast and friends using 6 different consumer cameras, all
with different codecs, frame rates, pixel aspect ratios, and field
order... And I have to convert all of that into 24 frame per second
progressive footage... I am in for quite the challenge!" commented
Faith "but I'll get it done, somehow. It's just gonna take a lot of
time and work".

FAITH GRANGER
WILL SHARE HER AMAZING STORY THROUGH A DOCUMENTARY OF EPIC
PROPORTION
FAITH GRANGER announced
that she will be adding more content to her upcoming DEUCE OF SPADES
SPECIAL FEATURES DVD. "As I was editing the cast interviews for the
new release, it suddenly dunned on me that busy as I was making the
film at the time, I never had the opportunity to film my own
interview! I filmed everyone else's, but mine. So I decided to film
it and add it to the release. But then it quickly became painfully
obvious that the story behind the making of the film deserved to
really be told, shared on a big scale: It would inspire many people
and help them. We all have dreams. Who here can say they have never
had a dream they gave up on, because it seemed out of reach... Or
maybe they tried to reach it and it was just too hard and they
simply gave up. My story proves that nothing is impossible, if you
BELIEVE. And that is a message worth spreading." Granger expects
that the story may have to be shared in several episodes, but that
she is willing to step up to the plate and tackle the project. "It
is going to give me a chance to sort through hours and hours of
never-seen-before behind the scenes memorabilia footage and
organize it. A tedious task, but well worth the effort.". Release
date is not known at the moment.
