The Parole Board has been working on a film project for a number of years. Most INMATES are aware of this as we have eluded to this project occasionally over the years. In fact, last year, we released a teaser-trailer for the film and received a lot of positive feedback and interest.
Although things may appear to have gone radio-silent with respect to the film, rest assured that still waters run deep. Behind the scenes, The Parole Board has been involved with meeting after meeting in order to bring the film to completion. Meetings with production companies, directors, lawyers, distribution companies, sponsors and investors seem to consume the majority of our days. But, this is a good thing as it means we are moving in the right direction.
The film's concept is centered around the service industry life in Dallas, Texas. We will follow around, interview and document the lives of certain Dallas INMATES. Particularly, the film will focus on INMATES that fall into one of three categories: 1) lifers, 2) daywalkers and 3) daydreamers. The idea is to show the world who we, as INMATES, truly are.
We are about to finish up the pre-production phase of the film and begin the production phase. This is where you, the INMATES, come into play. We would like to get feedback, ideas, thoughts, questions, comments and suggestions about the film. This film is for the INMATES and thus, your thoughts are important to us.
Therefore, next Monday, May 12, 2014 we would like to invite you to join The Parole Board at Club 8 (2645 Lyndon B Johnson Fwy, Dallas, TX 75234) for a White Board Session gathering. We will start the event at 5:00 p.m. with drinks and give INMATES a chance to socialize with one another. Thereafter, we will explain to you more about the film and what our vision is. After that, we will open up the floor to you so that you can ask questions and give us input about what you'd like to see in the film.
After the White Board Session gathering, we are going to being the production phase of the film. Here is a general schedule of the upcoming events leading to the release of the film itself later this year:
