It's been a long time since our last update, but we've been incredibly busy with the production of "The Night Shift". Principal photography has now officially wrapped! We've begun editing and are scheduling pick-ups and re-shoots as needed.

I'd also like to officially unveil the newly re-designed Fighting Owl Films logo. It's pretty much the same but with a brand new owl. All of our merchandise and branding from here on will reflect this image. I hope you guys like it.

Great music is partly responsible for making great films. Without a strong score a movie can flounder. One of the key factors responsible for making our films tolerable is the music of Soren Odom. Soren composes and scores each of our films with great success each and every time. Take a moment to listen to more of Soren's work here.

We have a new addition to our shop! P.E.T.Z: People for the Ethical Treatment of Zombies shirts, hats and mugs are now available. The merchandise has been surprisingly successful and has a somewhat interesting backstory. The idea began as a mockumentary about a PETA-like activist group who champion zombie rights. The mockumentary never made it past pre-production, unfortunately. But that doesn't mean you can't show your support for zombie rights with these satirical propaganda shirts. And you never know, the shirt may show up in a future film. Check out the Shop for more.

In other news, Purefoy is almost finished, I swear. Next weekend we're finishing up dubbing. We hope to release the film by early June.
