Previous Eight-Foot Squid film Fenris Unchained.

Your pals over at Eight-Foot Squid have something up their sleeves. The film production company that has brought the Chippewa Valley a variety of films over the last few years (Grand Theft Matrimony, Fenris Unchained) is beginning work on another project, this one more ambitious than previous. Telemarketer is in preproduction and the producers are working to secure their team and actors for filming dates set this fall. Eight-Foot Squid’s Jason Boehm said he was particularly excited about Telemarketer, from the script to the actors they’re hoping to work with to the fact that the group is just clicking and buckling down to make this their best film yet. Auditions for Telemarketer are March 6 at the Oxford Theatre, and you can find updates on the film at www.facebook.com/Telemarketerthemovie. The team is also looking for producers and partners to make this film a truly local, collaborative effort. And trust me, there’s plenty more to come.
