According to the interwebs, Jon Gress is a 3rd Block· - Visual Effects·Instructor at Dave School of digital animation video and effects.

Dave School Instructors

There's a supporting document listing him as both an Instructor, and holding a spot on the Curriculum Advisory Committee at Dave School. Dave School Catalog
This catalog was published Dec 1, 2011.

From my personal experience with visual effects in just stills working with Photoshop, the work can get pretty darned time intensive.

As I understand, this movie, 1Anunnaki was fairly low budget where Jon Gress was wearing several hats as writer, director, camera man, and visual effects lead.
That's quite a bit of a load on anyone's plate.

A apologize if any of this has been pointed out and mentioned before. I recognize this is an older thread, but, it popped up, and drew an interest, but, due to the length of the thread, and pressure for time, I have not properly gone through it other than looking at the OP material.

Anyway, as I was suggesting, Jon Gress was wearing many hats for the production of this movie, and all of it can get pretty intense as far as demands for time, and a man also has to eat.

When I do a photo shoot with a model, the model doesn't get the pictures next day. Post process takes some time, and sometimes even more if they want me to pull out all the stops. They usually get their pictures in about 30 days.

With a movie? Having to do lots of 3DFX, well, i imagine it's still far from done once all the shooting with actors is over. As said before, man also has to eat, so, it looks like Jon Gress is working for Dave School, putting some food on the table, and potentially poking around at the project when he has the time.

I someone wanted to be sneaky, they could enroll at Dave School, get in one of his classes, befriend the man, and one day ask him about the film.

Eh. I think I'm done. Coming back later to read through the bulk of this and edit this post if I''ve wound up just repeating someone else.

Thing is, this movie had no financers. It was an "amateur" movie made and financed by Jon Gress himself, who, according to himself, had been fascinated with the Anunnaki since he was a kid, and wanted to do the movies for a looooong time. You don't just give up on dreams like that for monetary reasons. Maybe you put the movie making on hold for a while, until you have money again, but you don't give up.

That's my opinion at least.


Nevermind that. You typically aren't allowed (or are in any position) to start a movie unless the budget has been approved by your financiers.

You don't just start traveling around with an entrouage of actors, production assistants, props, etc... film until the money runs out, and then go - alright, that's a wrap, we'll get back together when the money comes in.

My guess is, this ended, unexpectedly - whether sinister or not.

There are so many reasons why movies do not get released even when they are completed, in the can. Once in a while you'll see a movie finally released having been made x years ago.

Judging by what I have seen of this movie, I think it could be in the same category.

PS: Yes, I have seen Birdemic.
