Mayfair Theatre to Screen Maggot Man 2 Trailer!

Victor — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 00:23:05 +0000

This Friday, June 24th, at 9:30 pm, Ottawa’s Mayair Theatre is having a special screening of movie trailers for film that have never been made. Our Maggot Man 2 trailer will be among the trailers shown! Now, technically, this is supposed to be for movies that have never and will never be made, but you can bet your bottom dollar that we’re still working on actually making Maggot Man 2: Night of the Kevinator. Here are the event details:

Friday June 24th, 2011
9:30pm
Mayfair Theatre
1074 Bank Street, Ottawa

Here is a Facebook Event Page to help you spread the word to your friends!
Come on out and have some fun watching these local and international trailers! There are some gems among them, and we’re honoured to have been included!

Here is the description from the Mayfair Theatre website:

In the tradition of Rodriguez’s and Tarantino’s Grindhouse, we present a festival of real trailers for fake movies. This is the only chance you’ll have to see these original works by local and international filmmakers, because these flicks are never coming to a theatre near you.

UPDATE: In addition to the ~45 minutes of original, fake trailers submitted by local and international filmmakers, the evening will include ~30 minutes of obscure, rare and unbelievable-but-true trailers for films from the actual grindhouse era!

New Cyko Kid Webcomic Launched

Victor — Mon, 25 Apr 2011 06:33:32 +0000

Cyko Kid is back in an all-new webcomic which will be updated weekly! Some of you may recall that we had a Cyko Kid webcomic several years ago, and it was taken down while we worked on other projects. Well, he’s back, and he’s crazier than ever! Many of your old favourites have been re-drawn, and there are many brand new episodes in there as well! Be on the lookout for a new episode every Tuesday at the official Cyko Kid website.

I have no idea what took us so long to join that bandwagon, but there we are!

Departure Productions was recently asked to update the corporate website for Precision Transfer Technologies, a company that handles video and media services in Ottawa and Toronto. Check out the new website here:

http://precisiontransfer.com

This is the second time we have done a website overhaul for Precision Transfer, and the new site offers many new features.

Picture Book Stories Website

Victor — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 02:21:39 +0000

Ottawa-area children’s author Kita Szpak asked us to build her a website to help publicize her children’s stories and speaking events. It can be found by navigating to the following URL:

http://www.picturebookstories.com

The site is based on WordPress and features sections for her latest news, a series of personal messages, and Paypal links for her books and other items she sells. Many of the videos featured on the website were produced by Departure Productions as well.

Robert Farrell Website

Victor — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 00:34:20 +0000

Ottawa-area blues virtuoso Robert Farrell asked us to build him a website to help publicize his shows, lessons and studio work. It can be found by navigating to the following URL:

http://www.robertfarrell.com

The site is based on WordPress and features sections for his latest news, a gallery of photos and YouTube videos, as well as a live show database. Many of the videos featured on the website were produced by Departure Productions, most notably the instructional guitar videos.

Short Video: Breaking Up

Victor — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 22:54:24 +0000

Departure adds another short comedy to its repetoir with Breaking Up, a pair of sketches which offer a humorous look at two couples calling it quits.

(This video was hosted on superu.ca, which is no longer active. We will be posting it again online in the near future, and will embed it here.)

New URL

Victor — Tue, 10 Mar 2009 20:24:35 +0000

We’d just like to note that you can now navigate to our website at both http://www.departure-productions.com/ and http://www.departureproductions.com/ — whoever was sitting on the URL without the hyphen has dropped it after almost a decade, and we were able to snap it up.

We’d also like to note that there is a Departure Productions account on MySpace which is not us. They are a music promotion group from the states, and so far are small enough that there isn’t really much of a conflict with them using our name. Nonetheless, we’d like to point out that anything you see them produce is in no way connected to this Departure Productions, Victor Couwenbergh, or anyone directly connected with us.
