Pre-Production Updates

Friendly neighborhood Patreon producer Cherish, again. We figured that it's time for another round of updates on some of the shenanigans around here, of which there have been many. Since the launch of the Patreon, Nail House movement has been ROBUST. Here we go:

• LOCATION - Remember that warehouse search we mentioned? Well, the hunt for Nail House HQ is getting tantalizingly close to an end. We've narrowed it down to a couple of spots and fingers crossed, we'll be able to show you some footage of where we land soon. In fact, a "locations/early production design" video is on the horizon, in which Matt and Freddie talk about some of the work they've been doing to generate ideas for a very important character in the script, Mama Wong's Dumpling restaurant.

• DUMPLINGS - Piggybacking off that, Freddie, Matt, Justin, and I recently went on a mini-tour of some great Chinese restaurants in the LA area (the San Gabriel Valley aka Asian food mecca to be exact) during which the guys snagged a lot of reference photos/videos while we argued about Chinese desserts and tried to not overeat too many delicious dumplings. Chunks of that will be in the aforementioned locations video coming up.

• ACTION - We've been posting more about Yung lately and that's because the conversations around action design are taking off. An upcoming component we're planning involves Yung and his team putting together "vignettes" for the characters of Freddie and Jimmy, which will essentially be fighting profiles for the two characters and their respective styles. I'm personally very excited to see those come together. Beyond that, there's hope we will be shooting something super cool for the movie in a couple of months (!!) but we'll elaborate more as things come together.

• WRITING - Next week's chunkier update will cover Will and Matt's progress on the latest script rewrite! More to come on that front...

That's a sliver of everything the crew is cooking up. You've got the front seat to all the latest and greatest and, as always, give a shout here or in the Discord with your thoughts and comments. Thanks for being here!
