Updates on what's going...

Hey folks,

We're in the process of getting our official blog up and running at the http://www.worldofdepleted.com site. We don't have it up yet, but, when we do, we will provide link through information here.

The shoot last weekend went really well and we got approximately 90% of the footage we needed to acquire. For more on what all went down, check out our coverage from our Facebook page.

Thanks again for your support,

Heartfelt prayers for Jay Kerr and family...

The prayers and well-wishes of the entire Depleted team are with fight choreographer and producer, Jay Kerr, and his family, whose home and possessions were largely destroyed in the torrential flooding here in Central Kentucky.

First weekend of Fight Training for Depleted: Day 419...

Fight choreographer, Jay Kerr (featured above), led the action players of Depleted: Day 419 through a rigorous first training for the dynamic action sequence featured in the film. Torrential rains flooded Central Kentucky during the choreography, but the hard work continued indoors.

In addition to an elaborate gunfight involving seven shooters, there is an elaborate knife fight between Nash Fitch (Eric Henninger) and James Rockland (David Haney). The knife fight features two custom blades created specially for the film by Jay Kerr, who's also an accomplished knife smith, and by knifemaker, survivalist, and police officer, Gabe Kinderknecht. Fans of the film will have a chance to bid on these one of a kind mementos down the road after all principle photography is completed.

Updates so far for May...

News for Depleted fans include the casting of the Depleted: Day 419 project, as well as additional folks who are going to be involved with it. The speaking cast for Depleted: Day 419 is: Kat Carney as Jenna Whitmore Tim Smith as Andre Eric Henninger as Nash Fitch David Haney as James Rockland Additionally, we now have a few new folks that are bringing their abilities to the film franchise. Graphic designer Craig McDaniel brings his excellent skills to the table for poster, website, and other forms of graphic design while photographer and DP Nate Eckelbarger is bringing his talents to the table both for the publicity photos and cinematography of Depleted: Day 419. (Both contributed their skills for the included poster, starring Kat Carney.)

Paul Battista from Mind Fusion Law is coming up to provide legal representation for the Depleted project, as their firm has extra specialization in low budget Independent films. In addition to being a talented lawyer, he's also an accomplished filmmaker. In fact, MFM reviewed his great book on low-budget film producing before choosing to retain his services.

Additional news includes the fact that survivalists Jay Kerr and
Gabe Kinderknecht will be providing brand new highly useful YouTube videos on how to survive an apocalypse like the Fall by showing you how to hunt for food, find water, get edible plants, make knives, make bows and arrows, and what to acquire for guns! Look for those in the near future on the World of Depleted YouTube page.
