(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.

Locking Togther the Information for World of Depleted...

As we continued to labor on the World of Depleted project, we've had continued breakthroughs in folks becoming involved. We've lined up many of the bands that will be utilized in the feature by talking to Creative Commons bands listed on Jamendo and then talking with them about a specialized usage agreement for the film. The great bands that have signed up so far are as follows:

Deathboy - Industrial band from UK with dark and brutal lyrics that interweave well with the dark and foreboding World of Depleted.

Sekshun 8 - This Viriginia hard rock band has songs that are packed full of power and whose brutalized lyrics work well with the World of Depleted.

Josh Woodward - Ohio's folk superstar has massive amounts of amazing songs to provide the softer and more poignant side of Depleted.

Dirty Scarab and Fools & Horses - Two fine bands from Washington DC have teamed up for some amazing songs that add soulful depth to the World of Depleted.

Audra Hardt - LA's hard rocking siren brings her sweeping vocals to Jenna's journey in Depleted.

Additionally, we've now launched the official World of Depleted Facebook page and the World of Depleted YouTube page (complete with new video blogs and how-to videos).

The official website is being crafted as we speak and should launch in June. (It currently serves as a portal to the Facebook page.)
