Post-Sunback, Pre-Air Cap

Hey everyone!
Time has been flying. Lots of wonderful things have happened in the last couple weeks and I will try to cover all of it.

LEFT HOOK
We're making heavy progress. I am now in the compositing phase, assembling everything and these shots are looking great. I'm so glad to finally see it coming together. We're working like hell to finish this movie and hopefully we'll reach the finish line on time.

PODCAST
There has been one new podcast episode since our last post. With LEFT HOOK picking up, things have slowed down a little bit. David Cantu, Scott and I had a chat about "GODZILLA: King of the Monsters". Our next episode will also be Godzilla related. Stay tuned for that!

OTHER EVENTS
Recently, FALLING OUT and THE BROKEN KEY screened at the Doc Sunback Film Festival. It was a really great time! We got to see some of our filmmaker friends and watch some cool movies.
The screening for THE BROKEN KEY that I attended went very well. I missed FALLING OUT, but Cantu was present and apparently it had a good turn out.
It's been cool to see this festival grow since last year. They really brought things up a notch in quality. Can't wait to see what next year is like!

Screenings may be winding down a bit this year, at least for the short films we've already released. Maybe a couple more. I don't know.

However, one thing we do have coming up is another year at Air Capital Comic Con! Last year went very well and we're trying some new stuff out this year. The even takes place on November 16th & 17th at Century II here in Wichita.

We unfortunately won't have a new issue of A SCRIPT CALLED MISERY to release there, but there will be copies of the first issue available. Issue #2 was nearly ready, but we had to postpone the coloring process to focus on LEFT HOOK. Next year, we plan to get lots of work done on the project and have a couple issues out. We're used to multi-tasking, but a few other things had to take priority. We're totally committed to finishing it though. Won't leave you hangin'!

Well folks, that's where I'll leave you. There are plenty of cool things brewing behind the scenes here and we can't wait to share them with you as always! With that, feel free to play spot the Tyler in the photo below! Catch ya next time!

November Catch Up

It's been a little over a month so it's about time I write an update! Lots of things have happened, so hopefully I remember everything.

A SCRIPT CALLED MISERY:
We released the first issue of our comic book series, A SCRIPT CALLED MISERY. It's been doing pretty well so far. We launched it at Air Capital Comic Con earlier this month and nearly sold out. It was a great time for sure! We are making plans for further hard copy releases, but currently the issue is available digitally through Amazon and VHX. You can find the links and a few preview pages HERE.
The series is meant to be a quarterly release so there will be a few month in between each issue. The full script is written, so Beth works on pages during down time from LEFT HOOK. Can't wait for you guys to see the rest of this thing, we're all very proud of it.

PODCAST NEWS:
So this month has been our yearly hiatus, meaning no new episodes for now. However, we will be returning next month with Season 5. We have some cool things planned for this season and something I'm excited to say is that we have a new announcer for the intro and outro; fellow Wichita filmmaker, Lief Jonker. This dude is a local legend and we're so happy to have him on board.
More than likely, we will be returning next week with Creed II. Hope you'll tune in!

HOLIDAY BUNDLE:
Lastly, until January 1st, we have a special deal happening on VHX. We have created a bundle with LIVING AFTER MIDNIGHT, BRIMSTONE TERRACE, ANOTHER DAY COLDER, HOW MUCH and FALLING OUT (plus all of their bonus features) for $5. That's 8 hours of content. Along with scripts and an art book. If you ask me, it's a pretty great deal and it's also a great way to support us. All funds from this and our comic go towards funding LEFT HOOK. So check out the deal HERE.

That's all I've got for now. See ya next time!

Falling Out, Behind the Scenes & More!

8/3/2018

Hey!
So we just released a whole bunch of things. Here is a post playing catch up!

FALLING OUT:
Most important is the release of our new short film, FALLING OUT! On Tuesday, we had a premiere via livestream, which was pretty fun. Those who stuck around got to see the companion short that we shot along side this one. The film itself is available on our website, HERE. You can also access the bonus feature package by giving $1 or more on VHX. The package includes a bonus short, a 20-minute behind the scenes roundtable and the original scripts.

BRIMSTONE TERRACE:
Speaking of VHX, the 5th Anniversary Edition of BRIMSTONE TERRACE came out on the 23rd. It is also sitting on VHX for $1 and there is a good amount of content on there. All profits from both of these things go straight to the budget of LEFT HOOK.

LEFT HOOK:
For those who would be interested, we have been updating our backers over on the Indiegogo page as production has progressed. We're making lots of progress, slowly but surely. Anyway, the reason I bring this up is because we have also been posting behind the scenes videos every month so far. We started the process about 6 months ago. So now we want to start making those videos public.
If you want to see everything six months ahead of time, you can check out the Support page on the Left Hook website. Otherwise, we'll be releasing the old videos each month from here on out.
This first one is from a while back. It covers the early voice acting process and how we started the project off. Not all of them are podcasts like this. We just thought it would make for a good introduction.

PODCAST:
Speaking of podcasts, we released an episode a week or two ago for the films of Isao Takahata. The episode features Chris, Beth and I. The next one will be coming out in a week or so, so stay tuned.

Anyway, I think that is all the news we've got for you. There will be more big updates coming soon.

Upcoming Release Dates & More!

7/14/2018

Hey!
We've got a few things to talk about today, so I'll just jump right into it.

FALLING OUT:
Our first piece of news is about one of our new short films, FALLING OUT. This one is a live action film directed by David J. Cantu. We finished it back in late-May or early-June. We've mostly been trying to figure out what we wanted to do with it. We wanted to organize a premiere at the stage we shot it on, but summer theater season dashed those hopes. Turns out we shot it at just the right time.
Ultimately, we made the decision to release the film during the summer. The date will be July 31st. We also want to do something a little special and we are trying to organize a livestream (most likely on our Facebook page) to kick things off. Not only will we be showing the short film, we will also be showcasing some of the bonus material we shot as well.
That being said, the package that comes with the bonus material will be going up on VHX at the same time.

BRIMSTONE TERRACE:
This year is the 5th Anniversary of Brimstone Terrace. As of July 23rd, the first episode premiered on Blip TV. To celebrate, we are releasing a package on VHX that contains all 6 episodes and some newly created special features.
That will actually be launching on the 23rd. There will be a little promo video going up on the release date so keep an eye out for that. I think everything we put in here is pretty cool.

PODCAST:
I've got a bit of room on the post here, so I'll also throw in the fact that we released a new episode recently. It was Torture Podcast IV. Beth, Chris and I talked about King Kung Fu, Mac and Me and The Conqueror. Lots of "fun" was had. There should be another episode coming this month.

ZERO G:
Recently, I finally finished remastering my first official short film, ZERO G. The film itself can be seen HERE. It's a piece of crap I made back in 2010, so keep that in mind. Anyway, it was important to me to preserve that since the original cut is completely gone. So it meant a lot when some of the others from the IC crew jumped in to help with new voice overs and other technical tasks. We broke it all down in this video to the left. I would really like to start doing those kind of videos when ever we work on other people's projects (provided they want us to). We'll see if we do more in the future.
Cantu and I also recorded a retrospective on the short and that will be coming out next week.

Anyway, that's all I've got for now. More news soon to come!

A Busy Month!

In some ways, it feels like it's been more than a month and in other ways, it's flown by really fast.

NEW SHORT FILMS:
That's right. There is an "s" on the end of that. This month has been insanely busy because while handling a slower process on LEFT HOOK, we were able to work a lot more on our two upcoming short films for this year. One is the already announced, HOW MUCH. The other is a new live action short film called FALLING OUT. We haven't talked much about it because to be honest, it was a very quick turn around. We wrote the script in April and suddenly had the whole thing planned out in time to shoot it last week. It's been pretty exciting and feels like a major step forward when it comes to the quality of our live action work.
All of that being said, HOW MUCH is completely finished. We're waiting to release it online because we want to do something special for the cast and crew. We'll be finding out very soon what that will be and when it will happen. Truth be told, it could be a couple months.
FALLING OUT is a similar situation. It isn't quite finished yet, but it is getting there. We just finished color grading the footage tonight and I will begin the editing process tomorrow. As for right now, I don't really know when you will be seeing either of these short films. But we will be quick to let you know once we do. They will be coming out this year regardless.

ANOTHER SCREENING FOR ANOTHER DAY COLDER:
Recently on Facebook, we announced that ANOTHER DAY COLDER was selected to screen at Doc Sunback this June. We're very excited to attend. It has yet to be announced which day our film will be playing. But once again, we'll announce that when we do know.

PODCAST:
We released one new episode this month. That being Deadpool 2. The quality is a little bad on this one. It was David Young and I. He was recording from Arizona and unfortunately, what you hear in the episode is the best I could do to fix it. Trust me, it's a lot better now than it was before. The episode is fairly short though. So it shouldn't be too hard to sit through. I believe the next episode is coming in a couple weeks. Everything will be back to normal for that one.

Anyway, that's all I have to report right now. Have a good Memorial Day and we'll let you know what's happening when something happens!
