2025 & Brimstone Terrace

Man, this is awkward. I haven't updated this thing since September. I'd say I had a good reason, but...

2024 Catch Up
Probably the biggest thing that happened between posts was the premiere of ARRIVE ALIVE at Tallgrass. It was yet another great year. You'll have to take my word for it. I didn't take any photos. We had a really good turn out though. We're excited to see where we'll go next with it.
Also, vaguely related our scores for ARRIVE ALIVE and PERSONAL HISTORY are now on Spotify.
Lastly, as of December, we wrapped up our tenth season of the podcast! My goal was to get 30 episodes, but we fell just short. The last few months of the year were very busy. You'll see why.

A COMPLEX HISTORY OF THE UNITED STATES
In the gap between updates, we finished Chris's documentary. We completed the edit just before Halloween. This is new territory for us, so navigating the release of the film next year will be a journey for sure. 

BRIMSTONE TERRACE
It's finally time to let the cat out of the bag. The mystery animated feature we've been teasing for about two years now has finally been revealed to be BRIMSTONE TERRACE. For those who have followed our studio for a while, you may remember our 2013 webseries of the same name. This is a feature film reimagining of that concept. A totally clean slate.
For that reason (as some of you have already noticed) , we have more or less put the original version in the vault temporarily . We want to make sure anyone looking for the new film will have an easy time finding it without being utterly confused by the old version. I swear it will be back once the film is out. We'll even give it a remaster or something to sweeten the deal. ​

The film is a blend of retelling the original story and concepts for what would have been a second and third season all sort of packaged in a digestible new story. I'm writing and directing with the help of my producers David Wayne Young and Jillian Pulaski. Needless to say, I've been developing the story for a very long time. There are notes in my phone from over a decade ago that are finally becoming scenes. We've worked really hard to make sure audiences new and old are able to enjoy it.
Production started in the summer of 2023 with Tori Kamal, Jamie Zin and I returning to voice our respective characters in a crazy three-studio international voice over session. Since then, we've been balancing working on two other features as well as commissioned projects in order to keep this one afloat, while also trying to squeeze in time to work on it. The good news is, we're about 2/3 of the way through animation on it. That said, there is still a lot to do. 2025 will be a busy year with a major focus on producing this film.

There will be so much more to share in the coming months! Hopefully that means I'll keep this blog updated too. We'll see.
