A CP Film Part One of Five

Breakfast Serial

Laboratory Conditions in five parts:
One | Two | Three | Four | Five |

From the department of "one thing inevitably leads to another," we present Laboratory Conditions, a film we made on the way to making another film. Scouting for props and locations for our current film project, 72° led us to Los Alamos, New Mexico. We found a lot more there than we bargained for.

The complete Laboratory Conditions is also available for purchase as a widescreen DVD.

Thanks a million to John Tolva and Laura Gilligan who made the trip with us and helped us find our way during the shoot, to Jason Santa Maria whose advice helped us find our way once we had started putting the pieces together in post-production, and both Mark Greenberg and The Coctails for both composing new music and allowing us to use some from their archives. And of course a huge thanks to all the Executive Producers who made the whole thing possible. We'll post one episode each morning this week.
