The Sound of
The Golden Age

We’re in the final stretch of this journey to tell the Frost story. As Tom Frost once wrote to us, “Who knows what the ‘Golden Age’ was all about? No one. Yet.”

 

That’s about to change. On the heels of our incredible Yosemite rough-cut screening in September, we completed some storyline tweaks and we’re packing the film up for post production.

 

Post is an education in process. The interview dialog will get sweetened and leveled. The Deer Tick soundtrack will get mastered. And, although the film is black and white, a colorist will adjust the contrast and luminance of every frame to enhance the film’s visual cohesion.

 

This is a critical part of filmmaking, and the pros we trust with Tom’s story are expensive. That’s why we’re making one more appeal this year for financial support: any contribution you make will help cover these vital post-production costs.

Thanks for being part of the Frost community and for joining us on this journey.

 

We sincerely hope that you and yours have a safe, wonderful holiday season.

Stanford Screening

January 23, 2025

We’ve booked a very special night at Stanford’s Oshman Hall for a final rough-cut screening. Tom was a member of the Stanford Alpine Club when he graduated in 1958, so it was important to us to host a screening where it all began.

 

Join us on Thursday, January 23 at 5:30 for this FREE rough-cut screening. Limited seats available so email us to RSVP soon!
