Well, the new opening credits are almost complete and a big thankyou to Chaim at High Key Productions for his great work for coming up with a really slick concept for us. Good onya and may the God of Abraham smile on you.
The music is complete but still needs to be edited into the opening credits and the re-writing of the narration is under way. Thanks to Dennis Coard (Sir Kenneth Oakland) for the voice over and his help re-writing the re-write. May the Tuatha DeDannen smile on you always.
The closing credits will be completed shortly, and the entire film should be ready for the film festivals by early July 2010.
Any Julian Paradoxer (cast or crew), wanting to see the final cut can do so by contacting K.O.P. for a private screening. iamroach@optusnet.com.au .
On a final note; congratulations to Liz Catherall (Dr Julia Kayser) on becoming a mother for the third time. Caesar would be proud indeed. Good onya Liz and may the Bona Dea smile on you always.
All we need now is the blessing of a few Roman Gods and we'll have a hit on our hands.

Well, it's been a while since we finished filming and editing but we've not been idle.
We have some re-editing to do and we are writing a new narration. As well we will be using a different voice for it. Our thanks to Sir Denneth (Dennis Coard).
We are in the process of making new opening credits and I have composed some new and more appropriate music for them. We are also going to re-do the closing credits but the music will still be the same. We are hoping to be finished in about eight to ten weeks all going well.
From there we will be aiming for the most appropriate festivals to find investors for the feature length version, which we would like to start work on some next year.
Once again, a huge thank you to our cast and crew who did so much that was above and beyond the call of duty to bring the book 'The Julian Paradox' to the screen.
May the Gods smile on you all.

Lamplight Cinema is in the planning stages of 'The Julian Paradox' feature length film and we are looking for investors so that we can go into pre-production some in the first half of 2010.
We will be submitting the shorter version to a great many film festivals and we expect to find backers there but we would like as many Australian investors as we can get.This has been a completely Australian effort so far and we would like to keep it that way if we can. We would NOT however refuse any foreign investors... your money is as good as anyone else's and we would welcome you into the family.
If you are interested, a screening of the short version (running time approx 55 minutes) can easily be arranged and we guarantee you won't believe how little we spent making this film...and it looks stunning. We will not waste money on fancy offices etc but we'll spend it where it counts. Contact us for a screening and see for yourself.
So...perhaps you have lots of money and you want to do something positive with it, or you might even be a bit of an eccentric...better still. Perhaps you're looking for some tax relief because you have too much of it. Well fear not! We can relieve you of all your excess funds and in turn you will be helping us make a film like no other ever made in Australia.
If you don't believe us then come and see what we have done already.
We need $500,000 to $1,000,000 to make a world class film and we need you to help us.
Come on...do it now and avoid the rush.

The much anticipated Public screening of The Julian Paradox movie will be on Tuesday 1 st September – at the Astor Theatre. Final production is complete and this “one-off” public screening will re-unite the cast and crew along with their friends, family and the general public. This is an occasion to bask in the footlights of the majestic Astor Theatre and share the culmination of independent film making. An open discussion will follow the screening.

Melbourne, Victoria (Lamplight Cinema) –- At 8:00pm on Tuesday 1st September , The Julian Paradox (short) film will have its only public screening at the renowned Astor Theatre (St Kilda) prior to submissions on the international film festival circuit.
The screening will run approximately one hour, followed by an open forum for questions to the producers, director Liam Firmager or to the cast and crew. Original sound tracks by Kurt Peterson will be playing in the foyers. He will also be available to autograph a limited number of books for sale. “I have over 1500 still images, so the trick will be choosing a selection for display,” said John Weeks, producer/stills photographer, from Lamplight Cinema.
This short film, approximately 60 minutes running time is shot in high definition digital format. The camera was fitted with an adaptor system to allow traditional filters to be added, giving the film a more ‘celluloid', warmer appearance. Classical tracks have given a period feel, with original music added to bring other dimensions. Locations in Chirnside Park and Lysterfield served as settings for WWII Britain, with Melbourne's weather co-operating with ‘chilling' effect.
This production arose from the hardback novel published last year. It is aimed at raising awareness and seeking investors for a full feature film version to be released for general distribution. The short film will be targeted at film festivals in Australia and internationally. Potential investors are encouraged to attend this screening and to contact Lamplight Cinema.
Snacks, brewed coffee and drinks (alcohol to be confirmed) will be available at the Astor's very reasonable prices. Admission for the screening is $10, but a VIP list will provide free entry to all cast, crew and contributors to the production. The Film Classification Board has restricted admission to persons over 18. Bookings are not required.

'Knox movie truly local in all ways'
Leader News - 25 Aug 09 @ 02:52am by Marnie Reid
IT HAS been 2000 years in the making, but The Julian Paradox finally opens at the Astor Theatre on September 1.
Ferntree Gully resident Kurt Otto Peterson wrote The Julian Paradox and has now turned it into a short film.
This is Peterson’s first book and he, Rob Lind, and John Weeks joined forces to produce the film being directed by Liam Firmager.
The story follows the love between father (Roman General Julius Caesar) and daughter (Dr Julia Kayser) who have been separated for 2000 years and reunited in 1943. Peterson chose to shoot the film in the area, picking Chirnside and Lysterfield Valley.
He said for the past 23 years he thought Knox would be a good place to make a movie.
“I never ever expected we would make it though,” he said.
Peterson said the film had come up better than they ever dared to imagine.
It took them 15 days to shoot it and it runs for just under an hour.
The team intend to enter it in Australian and Europe awards, but the big goal is to turn it into a feature film.
But Peterson said if the film raised a few eyebrows he would be happy enough. He said when he first saw the actors bringing his words to life he had to pinch himself. “I can’t tell you how it felt. It was just weird watching your own imagination in 3D,” he said.
The film features great Australian actors including John Stanton and Dennis Coard.
Stanton has appeared in many Australian stage, television and movie roles, even winning a Logie in 1985 for his work in The Dismissal.
The film opens at the Astor Theatre, St Kilda on September 1 at 8pm
Bookings are not required however we are interested in knowing who may be interested in attending this special event so that we can adequately accommodate the seating arrangements. Simply reply from this newsletter with your expression of interest.
