A lot of people are asking “where's the film?” Here’s a quick update of where we are. This page will be updated frequently as we get closer to “Out of Annapolis” being “in the can.”

The final shooting was wrapped up on October 13, 2009 in Annapolis. The film is now in “Post Production.”

As of 12/15/2009, the story line edit is locked. “Cutaway material” and “B-Roll” materials are being inserted into the timeline to provide a visual picture to go along with the spoken word. Simultaneously, the soundtrack is being scored. Once all video tracks are completed, the film will be sent to the “colorist” who will make corrections to the video to ensure that the film colors look accurate.

Some still shots are still needed. . Please see the list of needed photographs. These are needed prior to 28 December, 2009.

“Festival screeners” will be ready mid-February 2010.

“All-new” trailer and film website are expected to be launched on 1 March, 2010.

The “opening sequence” is complete (except for “coloring”) and can be viewed by USNA Out members who are logged in.

The “credit roll” will be finalized just prior to the first showing. All USNA Out members and LGBT alumni who “opt-in” will have their name in the credits under “Out of Annapolis Project.” USNA Out members who are logged into this site can view the “rough draft” credits.
