24 February 2009 update:

 

After three days of shooting at Intermedia Arts, we've finished the first part of the film, roughly the first third.  Now I just need to edit our 4+ hours of footage down to 30 minutes or so.  Then, in April and May, we'll shoot the rest of the film.  I'm hoping to have a final cut ready to submit to the Austin Film Festival this summer (the first two features both screened at that festival). 

Here's our "Oswald" in makeup (photo courtesy of Jim Lichtscheidl):
