Are you all taking the summer off?

Okay, one more time. Name the episode…

July 1, 2019: Hallucinatory Wraith Feeding!

Came across this little gem on one of my old hard-drives – what appears to be footage from an extended hallucinatory wraith feeding sequence. It’s actually surprisingly disquieting. Your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to name the episode.

I celebrated Canada Day by completing my latest (and last?) revision on that big comic book pitch. I’ll give it a once-over tomorrow with a set of fresh eyes, then send it off for the final stamp of approval. Or further discussion prior to further discussion prior to further discussion before final approval.

Also this week, I’m hoping to get some feedback on the second draft of the pilot for my Untitled Awesome Project.

And, of course, I’m looking forward to four days on location shooting Utopia Falls. Fortunately, only the final three days are outdoors. Unfortunately, those are the only days this week in which rain is in the forecast.

Finally, about a week out from wrap, I’m looking ahead to my next big move – and have decided a little house cleaning may be in order…

June 30, 2019: Suji Sunday!

Summer-ready!

Also – ice cream-ready!

Lulu reflects on the follies of youth. And beef jerky treats.

Are you looking at me? Are YOU looking at ME?

When we first adopted Suji, she wasn’t all that sure about Lulu, steering clear for the most part. But now, whenever we come home, we find them snuggled up side by side, squeezed into one of the dog beds.

Whaaaaaaat?!

Seeing double. On the left: Utopia Falls on set producer Ivon Bartok. On the right: Utopia Falls actor Robbie Graham-Kuntz. No, wait. I think it’s the other way around. Or is it?

On this day in Supervillain History…

June 27, 2019: Well, damn.

This is a first. After ten years of daily blogging I actually missed a post. Yesterday, between the driving back and forth to the location shoot, being on set, reviewing the notes for that comic book project, reviewing my pass on my (formerly) Untitled Awesome Project, and that dinner meeting – I completely forgot to write an entry.

I suppose I could just skip it as one could argue that the ship has already passed, but in the interest of completeness, I’m offering up this early morning post which will be followed, later tonight, by an official June 28, 2019 post.

Unless I forget of course.

So, for this morning, let me give you the update.

As I mentioned, we’re finishing our last 2+ weeks of production on the road. Today, we wrap up the big spectacle in The Hammer and, next week, we move on the great outdoors for the big finish. After that, it’s the wrap party and about three months of post production. In the meantime…

Got (what I believe) are the final round of notes on that big comic book project. The big challenge will be in addressing notes and adding the requested details while, alternately, shaving two pages off the pitch.

Completed that second draft of the pilot script for my (formerly) Untitled Awesome Project.

Started breaking down that horror novel adaptation with the author. Thinking an eight-episode first season.

Series overview complete on the comic book adaptation. Now pushing for a green light on a script.

Haven’t heard back on that small-town horror series since they put together the creepy sizzle reel. I imagine I’ll be out pitching that one this summer.

Also heard that sci-fi series I developed (with the original creator) is NOT dead after all. This according to the broadcaster…who has been sitting on the material since last August. Ah, show business.

Today, it’s big to The Hammer for the big finish. With an 11:30 a.m. call and the fact that this is the last day on this location, I suspect this will be a very long, very late day.

Just do me a favor and remind me to post!
