Some very good news that things are moving forward is our official audition date and information is now live on this site.  Click on Auditions, and you will be whisked away into a world of knowledge and script pages. If you have some acting chops you want us to see, please plan on coming to the audition on January 29 from 7-10pm. This is going to be an exciting project and I can't wait to see who will fill these important parts.  I'm always jazzed about what other passionate artists can bring to the table, and actors can be very, very passionate people.

Man Found Burned in Apartment with No Sign of Fire

Investigators are baffled as to how a man suffered second- and third-degree burns inside his apartment - even though the only sign of a fire was a candle in the bathroom.

One Very Long Meeting

Today we had a get together with myself, Executive Producer Shad, writer/AD Chris and all-around supporter and crew guy-of-all-trades Doug. We talked about the scope of the project and how we were going to get the word out about our show.  We all want this to succeed, but know that people have to watch or all this will be in vain.

Scheduling was also a hot topic.  We are going to have a lot to do in not much time and Chris took copious notes about which days we were all available.  Talent availability is going to be a large determining factor, but since we haven't held auditions yet, we don't have that information. Speaking of auditions, they will be held on January 29, from 7-10pm.  More information and sides will be available on this website soon.

Then Chris and I went over the entrire script, with me giving him any notes I had.  That took a good three hours, but it was very productive.  Scenes and dialogue changed and new ideas formed.  Some things were tightened up and others dropped.  Overall, I think this is a good story with interesting characters (or an interestng story with good characters) that should attract the attention we are looking for.

I'm looking forward to seeing the talent breathe life into our creations.

First Draft Almost Done, Auditions Approaching

Things are definately progressing at a fast clip, which is the only speed available for this project. I just received an updated script through Episode 10 (that's three more than I had previous), and am very excited to see how Chris has developed his outline.

I also spoke at length last night with Tye Nelson, who is helping me prepare for auditions which will be here before the end of the month. We talked about character breakdowns and plot and a very important question that I am going to have to be able to answer to anyone who works on this--how many days of shooting will this take? I now have a 66 page screenplay, with two acts remaining. It's a lot of work in such a short amount of time.

I'm excited about auditions. Tye already has many actresses in mind for the five leads, but pay is an issue. I'm confident we'll find good people, but someday it would be nice to just say "why, of course there is!"
