it's way off (or at least it seems like it) but if you'd like to watch the premier with fellow mustangs, 1st & 10 will be hosting a watching party. Thad will either be present or we'll pipe him in via google chat and put him on one of the big tvs.

mark your calendar.
Ok this is getting ridiculous...I agree with Dutch on THIS ONE POST by him totally

Dutch isn't kidding... if I am not there in person, I'll appear live via google video chat. If that's the case, it should be fun because it's ridiculous.

Seeing as this film has been announced, I feel I can answer questions a little more freely.

As I recall we are due to turn in a trailer in early September. I arrive in LA on Monday to see the initial rough cut and oversee post-production for the following two months. We have three editors on this thing going on this thing full time, they may already be going 7 days a week at this point.

...

I can tell you this, our trailer is going to blow the roof off the dump. If you thought the first one (the one that got us the deal) was impressive, just wait.

This has been a truly amazing experience... I can only hope that those who are/were hacked at me for airing the dirty laundry will watch it and realize that I am giving them/the school/all of us a catharsis. Through all the interviews and filming I have been disillusioned then vindicated, then disillusioned again, cried with laughter, and then cried with joy - I plan to bring all of that to you... and the rest of the world. Anyway, back to work!

You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time...

Yeah, just don't get it published in a newspaper again or we'll have to take it down hide it again. It's password protected not because were jerks, but because we use footage and music that we do not have the rights to. Technically it's not for public consumption.

Don't make us have to take this one down by being smart and bypassing the security again. ;)

Hope those sneaky newspaper media types don't come on PonyFans and see the password you just posted. :roll: Tell Kate you will sic smupony94 on her if it gets on her blog. :lol:

I have really enjoyed watching the transformation of Thad even more than reading of the progress of Pony Excess. From struggling artist to soon to be proud papa of an ESPN special, it has been a great time to watch his success grow.

Thad, I remember when you could not find a way from Austin to Dallas for a football game. Now you are flitting all over the country doing what you love for a living.

I too am proud and very happy for you.

Thad,

You are 1 of only a handful of directors who does not have a link to their own personal bio.

I recommend you creating one.

FYI - Oscar winner Morgan Freeman is also one of the Directors....very impressive.
