OVERVIEW
Welcome to the fifth monthly report - series of reflections surrounding AUGURY HOUSE’s growth and developments as a production house. Progress has been a little slower for our short films, though we have picked up some shooting and some new location opportunities as well. Many things are coming very soon!
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
We’ve been getting further in the shooting of our current short film with about 98% of everything already shot. More voice over work needs to be done and when that is roughly finished, the full sound mix can start to come together. Kevin hit the 22nd version of his feature screenplay which is almost 100% drafted–no more placeholder sections! Our new website is also just about ready to go and Carissa has been in early planning for a digital magazine project…
DIFFICULTIES
A difficulty has been getting a clear sense of when we can finish projects. As a three person team working on a complex project while filling many roles, it is very tricky to predict when things will be finished. However, we aren’t chasing any deadlines so we are able to take everything at our own pace. If the short isn’t ready by the end of december, then 2025 will definitely be our year for major releases!
BTS
Our recent shoot dealt with stylized clips of each of the three main characters, slowed down and projected. We filled a bathtub full of water and used reflective mylar to cast reflections into the water. With the faucet running, we were able to get a hazy and rippling effect!

THINGS WE’RE LEARNING
As we get further into our film projects, we are learning how to self publish magazines with Carissa as the lead. We will start with a digital publication and as we get into rhythm with that, we will look to branch out into print. In consideration of our small team and everything else on our plate, we predict these releases to come our quarterly or biannually. We’ll probably get further into this idea after we finish our ongoing shorts!
GOALS By the end of the year, we hope to launch the new website which is just about ready to go, finish the next cut of our short film, Kevin will finish a full draft of his screenplay, and we should be prepped to shoot the next short film immediately after!
