Exciting Things on the Horizon!

Hey everyone!

We've only got a few things to cover. But since this might be the last post before the end of the year, I just wanted to briefly talk about how great this year has been. It really feels like we've made a hell of a lot of progress this year and I couldn't be happier. Two short films released, a debut comic book and our friends, family and followers helped us to raise additional funds for our upcoming feature film. We attended more film festivals than ever this year and had our first booth at a convention. We even added a new member to the crew. All-in-all, it's been wonderful. I speak for everyone here when I say we are very thankful for all of the new followers we have gotten recently and all of you who have shown your continuous support throughout the years.

Believe me when I say, the achievements listed above only speak to what we have publicly released. We have accomplished much more than that behind the scenes and we can't wait to share everything else in the coming months, years and so on.

PODCASTS:
Season 5 of the podcast is here and that is cause to get excited! In the past couple weeks, we have released two new episodes. "Creed II"; featuring Chris, Tyler and Beth. As well as, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse"; featuring Tyler, Beth and Scott. Our next episode will be the newest Christmas special with a fun twist. We listed several Christmas films (good and bad) and randomly selected them out of a hat to do a "Christmas Roulette". Should be a good time....for you.
Like I've said before about this and every season previous, we will be constantly trying new things with this year's line up. One long form mini-series within the show that I'm particularly excited for. So stay tuned.

LEFT HOOK:
I've done a pretty bad job of keeping this blog up to date on all things LEFT HOOK. Mostly because we have been posting about it elsewhere. ​A lot of progress has been made. Can't stress that enough.
Speaking of the help we received with funding, the animators that you helped pay for have finished their work on the film! Everything else is being handled here, in the studio. Can't thank those who donated enough, because the work these artists have produced is incredible.
We've been slowly releasing our behind the scenes videos to the public (six months after the backers see them) to give insight into the process of a film like this. All of these videos can be seen HERE. There are plenty more on the way, so check those out.
We are still on coarse to release the film next year, though I would never give a release date until I'm 100% certain that we will hit it.

NEXT YEAR:
Speaking of next year, we have several plans for 2019! With some of them, it is too early to talk about. We recently had our company Christmas party and discussed a new major project that will be underway after the completion of LEFT HOOK. Very excited for that one to say the least.
There are several small concepts for side projects that we would like to explore. Such as more live streaming and more content for Instagram. We have already been taking advantage of streaming and IGTV for our "IC Tries" videos. In which we try interesting or potentially gross items. Usually snacks and drinks. We've also played a few card games on livestreams this and we may do it again in the future. We may also do some other things on streams. We aren't sure yet. Lots of possibilities.
We do plan on releasing a few more issues of the comic next year as well as at least one short film. You may have seen the title, NIGHTMARE DRIVE, floating around and that would be the film's title. We're not entirely ready to say too much about it, but we have recorded with several actors and plan to begin working on it as work on LEFT HOOK slows down (similar to how HOW MUCH was made). The project will be spearheaded by our newcomer, Scott Reacher. He and I co-wrote it from his own concept and David Young and I will serve as producers. We're very excited to make it happen. The idea is to take as little time away from our priority projects as possible, but we do want to create some free content for you next year and short films are the best source. There will be more updates as time goes by.

Speaking of which, that's all I've got today. See ya next time!
