A month and a half ago, I wrote, “I’m relieved to say that editing on Episode Two is finally complete”. It wasn’t a lie, because that’s what I thought at the time. I was wrong. As we were wrapping up the editing, Andrew was signed as a featured pro for Victory Poker, a brand new online poker site. It’s exciting news and we at 918 FILMS/Robusto LLC wish him the best. After hearing what an significant impact this has made on his life, we figured it was an important enough part of his story to include in the film. As a result, we decided to delay the release and return to the editing room to incorporate this new storyline. See, not only can you play online poker at Victory Poker, but they also have a media department that will offer videos of Team Victory doing what they do best — which is namely gambling, playing poker and partying like rockstars. You can currently view samples at Victorypoker.net.
In order to incorporate some of this new footage into Episode Two, we had to wait until Victory Poker launched. I just got back from Vegas today where I spent yesterday visiting the Victory Poker Headquarters — which is contained in a Penthouse Suite in Panorama Towers…not too shabby, guys. They were supportive of the From Busto to Robsto project and did more than expected to accommodate our needs. In the end, I returned home with nearly 15 hours of Victory Poker material, much of it featuring Andrew and his shenanigans. I’m eager to get to work and expect this footage to add a new, more compelling dimension to Andrew’s story. Don’t worry though, it won’t push back our release date too far. On that note, it’s back to the grind. Who has time for blogging? We’ve got a documentary to finish!
