We heard from the Toronto Film Festival and we were not
accepted. Darn. Oh well, at least it means we retain our World Premiere Status
for Sundance. In the next 60 days we'll be finalizing a finished cut of the film
complete with new soundtrack, ADR and foley!

We just heard from Cinetic Media regarding our request
for them to be the Producer Reps for
Broken Hearts Club
- they declined. We haven't heard from Seventh Art Releasing
yet. We sent them a screener two weeks ago.
Writer/Director/Producer/Editor Angelo Bell just
completed editing a music video for David Redic of Inglewood, CA. David is an
singer/songwriter with gospel roots. The song is entitled, "Season of Change"
and depicts the climate of change our nation is in and references Barack
Obama as being a catalyst for that change. This was the first music video edited
my Angelo.
New edits are on the way for
Broken Hearts Club. Director, Angelo Bell has decided to cut the
existing rough cut footage from 115 minutes down to 95 minutes. The additional
footage will be available as special features on the 'Director's Cut' DVD. Also,
a new trailer is in progress. Filmmaker Tunde (toon-day) of Atlanta will be
preparing another trailer in the upcoming months
Composer, Rob Gokee, who wrote the original score for
Broken Hearts Club was hired to work on a
feature film comedy by a filmmaker whose short Rob scored last year.

The official website of writer/director Angelo Bell
is now online! Please visit
www.AngeloBell.com for an update on what this amazing and creative director
is working on now. Visit his website to see his blog or signup to "follow" him
on www.Twitter.com with text message
updates sent directly to your phone.
Also, Seventh Art Releasing has officially
requested a screener of
Broken Hearts Club.
Additionally, we are working with another high-profile executive producer who
interested in becoming an investor. More details as they come!
June 2, 2008
A rough cut of the film is complete. Thanks to the hard
work of composer, Rob Gokee, 'Broken Hearts Club' was able to move from
temp music to a rough cut with a complete score. Nothing is final, however, the
producers believe that 80-90% of the score and the current cut of the film will
remain intact. Previews of the new music are online at
www.myspace.com/brokenheartsclubfilm.
With the new score we were able to submit to the Toronto International Film
Festival. Wish us luck.
ps...reshoots and pickups are in progress

It's a wrap! Day 16 of 16 grueling 12-15 hour days,
straight came to a head in Long Beach, CA when we wrapped production. We were
shooting the "barbecue" scene, with honest to God, home-cooked barbecue and we
called the martini shot around 4:30PM. On set that day was Nicole S., Nicole D.,
Todd, Cat, Bashir and of course, Dylan. We had 20 extras, 30 pounds of ribs, 20
pounds of hamburgers, 10 pounds of hotdogs, baked beans, homemade barbecue sauce
and lots of fixins. Mr. Harkless managed the grill while Irby Catering catered
the meal with homestyle flair.
In January we go back into production for pick-ups.
There are three scenes that we have to shoot in a cafe, plus the garage scene
and another scene in a park.
We're still trying to get together with Rick Lozano to
deliver the hundreds of toys we have for Toys for Tots, but Rick has been super
busy coordinating a celebrity golf tournament and other things.
Rick, just tell us where to go. We'll come to you!

IT'S OFFICIAL -
after much deliberation, outreach to several not-for-profit organizations we
decided to donate 10% of all Million Member Broken
Hearts Club membership fees to the local Toy's For Tots program
in Los Angeles. We hope to make a presentation, on set and during production, to
Rick Lozano of Fox 11 News (Good Day LA) sometime during first two weeks of
December. Just in time to ease the potential broken hearts of hundreds of
Southern California disadvantaged youths who would otherwise be gift-less during
this upcoming Holiday Season.
Not only will your membership to the MMBHC
entitle you to great movie items like posters and membership cards, you'll also
be directly involved in helping hundreds of children have a Merry Christmas.
