Self-Aggrandizement: Coming Attractions

For the past few years, Cyan has been working solely behind the scenes - putting together financial structures, building our infrastructure, and generally missing out on all of the fun parts of indie film in favor of more ulcer-inducing fare.

But, now, all that work is finally paying off, as we're shifting back to actively making and releasing movies.

To kick off the shift, we're counting down to pre-production on two new films, Keeper of the Pinstripes, and Yelling to the Sky.

In some ways, the two movies couldn't be more different - the first a big-budget family film built around the New York Yankees, the second a small, gritty, race-complicated indie drama. But, in other ways, they're quite similar - both coming-of-age stories, both driven by scripts strong enough to have garnered amazing casts.

We're hoping to add three more films to our 2009 slate, all of which, ideally, we'll be releasing in theaters throughout 2010. We have a number of strong contenteders for those three slots, but, at this point, we're also focusing nearly all of our attention on simply surviving these first two.

As they'll be consuming much of my life for the next couple of months, they'll likely also be taking up a lot of this site. Stay tuned.
