The Unforeseen - DVD Release Update
We wanted to give you an update. Due to both technical and contract issues, our DVD release date was pushed back to Sept 30th. We have no control over this. This means pre-order customers will be waiting another week. We’re sorry but shipping is very close. We hope to have some exciting news to share soon about new distribution options.
Please watch this space.
We also wanted to give you a sneak peek at the DVD. No other sites selling The Unforeseen (Amazon, etc.) have this information. Audienceship has its privileges.
The DVD Face
This design originally was my idea for the cover of the DVD case itself. But the distributor really wanted to invoke “The American Dream” with the collapsing real estate market on everyone’s mind. So we went with the house/blueprint/swimming Cover. Happily, these graphics became the DVD face itself so it wasn’t a total loss.

COMMENTARY TRACK
Laura Dunn/Director,
Lee Daniel/Cinematographer,
Jef Sewell/Producer/Motion Graphics Designer
Tom Hammond, Sound Designer and Recording Mixer
We all got together and reminisced about making the film. Countless obscure details surfaced during our session. For example, Laura talks about hanging in an open-air monkeycage from a construction crane to shoot the opening shot. Lee tells about how shooting from such heights gives him “a really funny feeling” in certain parts of his body, Tom explains how he turned the film’s sound effects / audio tracks into a new musical instrument for the many aerial shots used throughout the film, and I talk some about the problems I had getting all of the graphics finished with only four months to work.
DVD MENUS
Pretty basic.
THANKS AGAIN
It’s truly amazing to directly connect with our audience. We’re very glad to share these details with you first, our supporters. Check Amazon, THEY don’t even have these details yet. You’re truly the first. Lastly, a few people were confused to see Laura Dunn Productions on their credit card statement instead of The Unforeseen. Laura Dunn Productions is the name of Laura’s film company, hence the confusion. We’ve since updated the order confirmation emails to make this explicitly clear.
If you have ANY questions about your order, please don’t hesitate to contact our customer service department. They’re more than happy to assist you. Thank you again for your support of our endeavors. It means a lot to us as we’re a small outfit. We hope you’ll keep up with us through our blog.
Sincerely,
Jef Sewell and Laura Dunn
