Some news-like updates…
May 29th, 2009
Haven’t posted in a while… here’s some moderately interesting news that will hopefully develop into exciting news!
- Tom has completed a first draft of what I hope to be my feature directorial debut, Death Starring Courtney.
- Sebastian and I have been developing a new short film that we aim to have BME produce this summer. It’s called The Wallet.
- Pre-Production has commenced on a new short film for DVuser.com’s QuestFest. It’s an episode of a non-existent television program called Dick Valor’s Fantastical Adventures Through The Orient. The episode acts as the series finale and is titled, “The Perilous Wrath of Dr. Samurai”. Check out the thread HERE.
- A Work of Art might have been accepted into the West Hollywood International Film Festival… I received a very vague acceptance letter that did not mention AWOA specifically, So I’ll post more on that as it develops.
- BeginningMiddleEnd.com will be getting a face lift soon that will boast a more streamlined (and less bloggy) interface. We’ll also have an accompanying iPhone Web App for those 3 of you who visit this site AND own iPhones. Ha! Oh, and you can now follow me on Twitter.. click HERE or the link at the top.
So yeah, check back soon for more updates!
