Hi Mark, Thanks for the promo! That clip from Wild Life was actually only done about 1 year in on the project and still didn't quite reflect how far the project had gone when it was killed 1.5 years later. We did a second test that Disney would never let me keep. best, Howard
Nice work on this reel. Story reels? Love to see those sometime...

The new issue of Flip is out, featuring an interview with Howard Baker, a director who does straight-to-DVD features for budgets as low as $3 million. That's an area that's very interesting to me and one that I think has potential for different kinds of films. However, the real surprise was his reel. At 7:50, you can see a clip from the canceled Disney feature Wild Life. I have no idea how much of this feature actually exists, but this may be all you're ever likely to see of it.

Hi Mark,
Thanks for showcasing all the cool work from Howard. Actually, there are some cool story reels from the film as well.
Of course, these story reels don't actually exist, do they, Disney lawyers?
