This morning, on behalf of Red Futon Films, I released the new short doc for the new documentary Unheralded coming out this fall. The Vimeo’s embedded below. Workflow/tech stuff?

I’m thrilled about this. After carefully navigating the political and somewhat bureaucratic waters of non-profit goodness we are able to release this and others live. There are more short biographies to come and we are very, very excited about them! You can watch the embed below, subscribed to Red Futon Film’s Posterous and find us on Twitter, Facebook ,and YouTube. I hope you enjoy it. We are working primarily with a local Montana church but also loosely with a large NGO out of Atlanta.

For the techs of the crowd, this was the workflow:

Edited in Avid MC4 (DNxHD transcode)
