LAG SPIKE STUDIOS

OFFICIAL STATEMENT

A summarized bullet list is at the bottom for quick access.

Published

Lag Spike Studios is now to be ceased to exist following July 14.

Firstly, Lag Spike Studios was a small project between a couple people, and this changed rapidly. With more people finding out about it, it gave us huge pressure for filming Harley has a Gun. And with this includes how many people found the project which was suppost to be small Media Studies joke.

Secondly, filming is difficult. With over 2/3 of our summer would be dedicated to a non-paying actor role, and with the holidays in between that, it is hard to give up summer just for this little film, which will make no income back.

We at Lag Spike Studios spent a lot of money, talking close to £200 on props, equipment and filming material. We were determined for this but the traction and long days made it difficult for us to continue on and loss of motivation.

If you are reading this, you probably wanted to see this movie as there will no longer be promotions for it. And we are sorry it has come to this, with the cancelation of all Lag Spike Studio productions. However, this is a learning move, we will learn from this for years to come.

We want to thank you for leaving this, production lagging out, goodbye.
