Do you really want another boring blog about how we are still editing the film? I didn't think so. Would you rather look at these freaky dolls instead?

Making a documentary film that revolves around dolls makes for interesting conversations. For example. a friend and I were talking about that unshakable feeling that dolls might just spring to life in some creepy way - like a head swivel or that they might flash a maniacal smile. But what's creepier than a doll that springs to life? One that dies some horrible death?

Perhaps the charm of the Nutshell Studies of Unexplained Death (the dollhouse crime scenes) is that they blur reality, as well as fantasy.

Happy Memorial Day!

I hope you are taking the day off. We can't stay away from our dead dolls, so we are doing a bit of editing this extended weekend. Things are starting to flow nicely. I can tell that some of you are anxious to see this film get finished! Thanks for all the inquiries. We've been a little busy with everyday work, but Our Wildest Dreams is never far from our thoughts and conversations!

It's seems fitting on Memorial Day weekend that we mention that memorial is certainly a factor in this documentary film. Death represented through dolls helps make the issue of murder much more "friendlier." And death as entertainment is another safe way to explore something so dark. Still, we find ourselves thinking about victims and their families a lot. As we go through our footage, it's the words of the detectives, morgue technicians, among others, that always bring it back to the sad reality of our film.
