Come up on our porch. There's a nice breeze. Tea's brewin'.
I finally got a chance to sit down and watch TLTOBG and I have to say it was worth the wait! I loved it all: the narration, the writing, the music, cinematography, Hilarie and Austin..
Congratulations to you all on a job very well done! Cheers and have a fantastic and safe holiday and new year!
I have been waiting for this film for what seam like forever. The more you guys talked about it on here the more I couldn't wait to see it. I finally has a few moment to sit down and download the film and watch it. I was scared at first because there has been so much talk about the film and how well it turned out, I was scared that I wasn't going to like it, because I have had that happen in the past with may movies..... but Nick you didn't disappoint with this one what so ever. It is a very cute film about true love and Hil and Austin did a great job of bring it to life. I agree with you both about being able to sit down and watch it over and over again and not get sick of it. Every time I watch it I fall in love a little more. Thanks for a great film and it make me even more excited for what is yet to come from SoGoPro.
AHHHH When I saw this I was soo excited!!! Guys you have done a fanstatic job on this short film. I have not seen many, but I reckon that this has gotta be the best, an Im not just saying that just because I LOVE SGP! It was seriously good. My favorite part when was they first met and and Girlfriend "floated "over to Boyfriend and was like "I stink enough to gag a maggot!" and Boyfriend said " So, I have pretty hand writing." That was too funny. Then when they stole all of the money from the Dollar Holler...haha....PRICELESS! Cullen Moss was a great person for the narrarator. I had no idea he had such a southern voice...haha. The best part is I am an avid watcher of One Tree Hill and never noticed it. As always the cast of the movie was PERFECTION. How could we have forgotten Hilarie and Austin. They were HILARIOUS together as always. :) All the people who are behind the scenes were fantastic, could not have done it any better. :) Thank you so much for giving us such a wonderful gift right before Christmas!! I could not have asked for a better start to my winter break then this, it was the highlight and sunshine of my day!!!
Hil, Nick, Austin, Cullen, KT, and the rest of SGP.........
Um, total AWESOMENESS!!! That is the word I have picked to describe your first film! It was the best 8 minutes I have EVER spent online/watching a movie, etc... When I saw the "its here" on KT's post, I knew it was going to be a WONDERFUL evening for me!! Congrats you guys! I love SGP and getting to watch "The True-Love Tale of Boyfriend & Girlfriend" just made my love grow stronger, which I didn't think was possible! I am very excited for all the projects to come!! Thank you guys for allowing us the wonderful privilage of having SoGoPro in our lives!! I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday and New Year!
Finally I've seen it and it's great. I have to see it at least 5 more times and try to understand the entire narration (so anyone wants to do a transcription for the foreign people like me? :-)) but it was awesome, the costumes, the music, the magnificent voice of Cullen, the beautiful, beautiful sings with the dialogues... fantastic.
Thank you for the work and keep doing it, please!
PS. I have a favourite part too, and I have to say, I coudn't stop laughing :-)
I loved it; I don't think I have watched anything like it before - it was quirky, and very adorable. I had a smile on my face long after it had finished.
I loved the costumes, the dialogue, the narration (I loved Cullen's cowboy-like southern accent), the music, the awesome props, the locations and of course Hilarie and Austin as Boyfriend and Girlfriend (both of you were spectacular). There were many memorable moments..........
It has been an interesting and enjoyable process to follow from the location scout vlog to the final product; it was cool to see all the little hints that you have given to us along the way all come together.
Congratulations to all involved and I look forward to seeing more from SoGoPro in the future.
Just watched "the true-love tale of boyfriend & girlfriend" and LOVED it!! Hilarie & Austin rocked it!! No words were needed for this film, their talent (and personalities) couldn't have shone any brighter....they are awesome!! I recognized the pole thingie that Hilarie was tight rope walking on right away from one of the videos on the site....so funny!
Thanks for allowing me (and everyone else) the opportunity to share in this journey with you guys. I look forward to more great stuff from you ......its inevitable!
So I though getting my SGP Secret Santa gift today had totally made my day, but no...I was wrong this did it!!!!
I missed the podcast earlier this week...and so this was like a total suprise for me!! A very pleasant one of course. I feel like we've been waiting for this forever!!!
I have only watched it once, but my reaction as I was watching it - I just love Nick Gray's writing. Loved the note in the tree part. I wonder if that is the same tree from the beginning too? The intros to the characters. Cullen Moss did such an wonderful job narratoring the beautiful words of Nick Gray...I just am in love with what he does with words right now. :) Wait I might have mentioned that...
I have a favorite part, but I don't dare describe/mention it incase someone happens to read this who hasn't watched it yet.
Hmmm here's a thought that just occured to me, stop reading and go download or watch The True-Love Tale of Boyfriend and Girlfriend!!!
I just watched it! AND, it was so SO great! It was sweet, comical, and had such beautiful scenes. You guys did great. I am going to watch it again. Great writing, great music, great costumes. Hilarie, you light up the screne, please continue acting, I love you on screne, you are my favorite actress and please please continue using your talents!
Hey guys, I just watched "The True Love Tale of Boyfriend & Girlfriend"... You guys definitely ROCK!!
I loved the story, the locations, the narration, the music, the words on the screen (that "SO" with all the different faces of Hil and Austin are brilliant and SO funny, lol!!) and I liked very much that you used things that you found out during these last months... Like the note in the tree or the locations you showed us during your perlustrations! :) It's a great idea that reminds me the 'original' cinema and 'The True Love' for it! ;)
It's here and it's brilliantly grand! Totally and completely loved every minute of it.
The costumes, the wheelbarrow, the moustache, the rifles, the sword, the fish, the rat, the crocodile, the name-tag, the LLAMAS, the locations, the way girlfriend just glided right over to boyfriend! Minute details that I are simply delectable.
Also, the graphics used as the dialogue...ahhh they're just peachy...and I love em! Synchronated so well.
Cullen Moss...could not have picked a more perfect narrator, to go with Nick's wonderful script. Ace job guys. I'm tickled.

p.s may Bradbury/Ivan live a fruitful life out of the spotlight.
well done guys, I really enjoyed it! The writing is beautiful Nick and I loved the artwork and set locations as well. Great job Hilarie & Austen. A very cool, quirky story :) thanks for sharing it with us!
All I can do, is the best I can do, in the time that I have.
I have to tell you when i saw this post i was absolutely extatic, I can't wait to watch the true love tale of boyfriend and girlfriend as i'm sure you all at Southern Gothic have done a fantastic job working on it. Thankyou for sharing it with us!
yay for the vlog on the stairs and it was absolutely worth the wait going to upload it on my ipod now. everyone involved did an awesome job, loved the ending.
I've been waiting for so long for this -I can't even remember when you first told us about the True Love Tale of Girlfriend and Boyfriend- and now I must say it was a great day! First the snow, and then this. I loved it and it was one million time worth the wait - No, I'm not exaggerating -.
I loved the story, the narration -amazing job and congrats to Cullen Moss -, the cowboy boots, the graphics, the music,...wait all of it actually.
Thank you for brightening my day and congrats to everyone involved!
I'm sorry, now I've got to leave, I've an amazing short film to rewatch, maybe you've heard of it :)
OMG this has made my day, and I want to give a huge thumbs up for Cullen Moss and the narration! This was utterly fabulous! Awesome. This was everything I hoped it would be.
The teeny weeny dress, the boots and the oompa loompa suit, Loved it all from beginning to end!
And in the words of my littlest girl.... 'again mama' again!
I have been waiting so long to finally see this! AWESOME job you guys! Austin and Hilarie are always wonderful together.. Thank you for all your work... we love you guys!
omg! omg! I can't wait to download it. I'm at work now so I have to wait till I get home , so I'll have to wait until at least 4:30. I have to wait till I get off desk time so I can hear the blog. But I saw the new post and got all excited. Now I have something more to look forward to than just getting off work. YAY.
SUPER AWESOME!!!!! my heart just made a little jump when I read "It's here..." you seriously made my day guys, thanks ^^ Congratulations to all of you!!
Ahhhh!!! I can't even tell you guys how excited I am right now! hahaI've been sick all week since I came home for winter break from school and this totally made my week 100x better.
I've definitely missed your vlogs/seeing you guys on the stairs, Nick and Hil :) What a pleasant surprise! I just watched The True Love Tale of Boyfriend & Girlfriend and I LOVED it!

Again, congratulations! Brilliant, brilliant.
ETA2: The artwork/graphics were excellent. Loved the "dialogue scene". It was also fun to see all the props and clues that we given to us earlier this year.
Just have to say again how brilliant this was. Nick really did an incredible job with the script, so many quote worthy one liners! "The hammers in their ears were in love".

Thank you for putting it out :)
It was absolutely amazing. Hilarie is adorable the whole time, and Austin made me die of laughter. It was really fantastic.

I'm not experienced with many short films but I'd say that was a darn good one. Can we have more please?! :)
Great job you guys! It was funny, it was weird (in a good way) it was a true love tale and most of all it was a SoGoPro production.
I especially loved boyfriend & girlfriend's convo hehe. Big thank you to Austin, Hilarie, Nick, Kelly and everyone else who made it possible.
Hil, Nick, Austin, Cullen, KT, and the rest of SGP.........
