• Anyone can send a “Kiss Off” message that will show on-screen prior to the movie.  Some Kiss-Offs will be performed on stage by actors.
• Portland cartoonist Carolyn Main will share “Sex Wizards” comics, some of which will be read by actors (carolynmain.com).  Carolyn Main provided drawings used in the movie.
• Q&A with the filmmakers and actors.
• After party at Back Stage Bar.

MOVIE PRODUCTION HIGHLIGHTS:

• Portland Community:  Over 100 people directly participated in making this movie, contributing favors such as providing locations, drawing racy comics, driving a taxi, snorting fake cocaine, and agreeing to be scantily dressed extras for a furries orgy scene.  A majority of these contacts were made through social media after production began.

• Portland Locations:  Filming took place in all four quadrants of Portland, including South Waterfront. This interactive Google map includes film stills from each location.

• Part 2 of Domestic Trilogy: This is Mike Vogel’s second feature and the second film in a Domestic Trilogy that began with “The Waiting List,” which can be seen on YouTube with an annotated commentary. (The Waiting List = Parenting.  Did You Kiss Anyone = Marriage.)

• Crowdfunded:  This nanobudget movie was partially crowdfunded through a webseries called “Did You Cast Anyone?”  Due to a large cast and multiple locations, the shooting schedule lasted 13 months.

Mike Vogel talks about using webisodes to create an audience to crowd-fund his second feature film.  Filmed on a webcam, which in retrospect, was probably not a great idea.
