“Black Dynamite” Now on DVD, Blu-Ray and iTunes

Thu, 18 Mar 2010 02:48:20 -0700

For us, “Black Dynamite” answers the question, “How do you recreate the sound of films from the 1970s, but actually make it sound GOOD?” Juniper Post took special care to design sounds that feel authentic, yet satisfy modern demands for quality. Get your copy of this laugh-til-it-hurts comedy, and turn up the volume!
“The city streets explode into violence when ‘The Man’ kills Black Dynamite's (Michael Jai White) brother in this seamless recreation of the blaxploitation classics of the 1970s. He was the best agent that the CIA ever had, but these days Black Dynamite only answers to one boss -- himself. When ‘The Man’ ices Black Dynamite's brother, starts pumping heroin into the local orphanage, and floods the ghetto with a secret weapon disguised as common malt liquor, the car chases, gunfights, and shirtless brawls that follow prove wild enough to make even Dolemite green with envy.” ~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

“Yesterday Was a Lie” on DVD!

Tue, 23 Feb 2010 09:32:18 -0800

Following a theatrical release, multi-award-winning indie “Yesterday Was a Lie” is now available for pre-order on DVD. A groundbreaking new metaphysical noir film from writer/director James Kerwin, the film combines “stunning black & white cinematography, a sultry jazz score and a refreshingly high-minded script” (Variety). The film can also be described as a time travel love story.

With such an original film comes tremendous opportunity for an original approach to sound design. Juniper Post is proud to have provided all audio post-production services on “Yesterday Was a Lie”, and we congratulate James Kerwin and Chase Masterson on all their success.

From James Kerwin:

Cast, crew, and friends of YWAL:

We've been busy over the past couple months preparing for the upcoming upcoming DVD release of YESTERDAY WAS A LIE. We had a fun premiere and a great theatrical release in December, but the work doesn't stop there. The great people at E1 have been authoring what we think will be a wonderful commercial DVD of the film with many special features -- including a commentary track which they asked Kipleigh, Chase, and I to record last month at Juniper Post.

Although the DVD doesn't hit stores until March 23, the good news is that people can pre-order it for purchase or rental now. We strongly encourage you to do so, and pass this on to anyone you think would be interested. The number of pre-orders registered at Amazon and Netflix over the course of the next few weeks will determine how many copies are stocked by these companies!

You can pre-order by visiting http://www.yesterdaywasalie.com and clicking "SEE THE FILM," or add it to your queue directly at

Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00316DAOI?ie=UTF8&tag=heliconartscooperative-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B00316DAOI

Netflix: http://www.netflix.com/Movie/Yesterday_Was_a_Lie/70129313

Another quick note: YESTERDAY has gotten almost all positive reviews to date, and made a few critics' top ten lists; the latest is CJSF 90.1 FM Vancouver's "Hi-Sci-Fi" show, where it was named one of the year's ten best science fiction films. The DVD has also made the cut on the Independent Dealers of Entertainment Association's "Hidden Gems" list for March. Congratulations to everyone.

Thanks guys!
James

“The Vicious Kind” in Theaters Feb 12

Sat, 6 Feb 2010 23:06:05 -0800

COMPLETE AUDIO POST SERVICES PROVIDED BY JUNIPER POST.

Following an endless string of awards, rave reviews, and huge buzz, Sundance fave and double Spirit award nominee “The Vicious Kind” will premiere in New York on February 12, 2010.

Writer/director/producer Lee Toland Krieger knew that at the heart of his film lay the brilliant performances of Adam Scott, Brittany Snow, Alex Frost and J.K. Simmons. He also knew that the key to getting those performances across to audiences was having clear, full and warm sound for their dialogue recordings, and that most independent films suffer from muddy, weak-sounding dialogue. So Lee enlisted the award-winners at Juniper Post, one of the only audio facilities that knows how to create A-level dialogue for independent films. The result “speaks” for itself.
