WELCOME   NEWS Welcome to the Kiliuda Rock website.  We’re a movie production company based in Kodiak, Alaska. This site is dedicated to How To Survive, a feature length narrative film produced in July 2008.  Ronald Jerry wrote the How To Survive screenplay. Kiliuda Rock, formerly Kitty Productions created two prior movies.  Equivocation (2003) delves into the mysterious disappearance of a small town girl.  Cope (2006) a psychological thriller investigates ideas involving purgatory, memory, family and loss.  Cope was selected for a nation-wide commercial DVD release, along with foreign property sales.   September 30 2009 - How to Survive nears completion. After a long editing process we have a final cut of the movie.  Just last week we completed color correction and are currently working on audio levels and placing the score as it is recorded.  For those of you interested in what color correction really means, here are a few screenshots.  The upper left is as shot, the lower right is corrected: This shot of Jack overlooking the mountains is a great example because you can clearly see the drastic difference in the green mountainside.  His clothes also appear much richer. Some scenes have a more subtle difference, with more dramatic darks for a crisper and more cinematic feel. Late in the movie color is used to make their circumstance seem more dismal.  Their clothes appear dirtier and there are few bright colors. August 19 2009 - The website fell to the wayside as post production of How to Survive continued.  We are glad to have the site up and running again and we will post more updates in the near future.  We are nearing completion with a final cut of the movie and audio and scoring still in the process.  Thank You to everyone who has shown continiued interest and support!
