The Year is 2026.

Hello all!

As is tradition, we kick off the year with a blog post going over every project we have. I'll try at least. As expected, 2025 was a pretty busy year. 2026 will involve you getting to see the results of all of that work.

BRIMSTONE TERRACE
Let's get the big one out of the way. This took up a majority of our time last year and now it's heading out into the world. Our little sneak preview in Kansas City back in November went really well. We scored the award for Best Animated Feature while we were there. That was nice of them! It's going to be a minute before we hear about any further screenings, so right now the film is cryogenically frozen until the time comes.
One thing we can show you in the meantime is the trailer! Not right this second. Like, next week! We'll be doing a live stream on our Twitch channel where we are all going to hang out and watch it with you. Doesn't that sound fun? It's happening Tuesday the 6th at 7pm central. Be there or be square! Or watch it the next day when we post it. Do what ever you want. I'm not the boss of you.

PRELIMINAL REFRAMING
This short film also had a screening in November and it also went very well! Here's the thing: it's screening again in a couple weeks at the Old Times Not Forgotten Film Festival. The fest is January 17th - 18th in Derby, KS at the Derby Plaza Theater. I actually popped by last year and it was pretty fun. Can't wait to pay them another visit.

WHO'S THE NEW GUY!?
We recently welcomed our good friend Molly Strickler to the team. You may recognize her from appearing in several projects we have worked on over the last few years. We initially met Molly as an actor, but after expressing interest in roles behind the scenes and showing off her writing talents, it only made sense to extend an invitation. It's an incredible thing to find someone that you want on every set. Molly is one of those people.

PODCAST
We recently wrapped up our eleventh season. I think we churned out some good episodes, but due to busy schedules and unforeseen circumstances, we had to cancel a handful of episodes as well. It didn't quite reach some of the heights we expected. Though, if I hadn't told you, you would be none the wiser.
Naturally, we will be starting our new season this month and we have some pretty cool ideas. However, we are going in this time with a plan to keep it pretty light. That could change though. You never know.
One fun thing we're doing this year is a special edition of the Golden Jamies (our annual round up of every new film we saw, where we pick our top five films of the year). Did you know the prestigious Golden Jamie Awards have been running for 10 YEARS!? Of course you did! It's the subject of every headline, I'm sure. What you may not know, is that we are doing a live streamed version of the show this year! This will be happening in early February. Stay tuned for the date and time! Just like the trailer premiere, this will be happening on our Twitch channel.

OTHER PROJECTS
As I update you on the status of all the projects you know about, you must be wondering if we have anything new in the works. We sure do! I'm not going to give you any specifics, but I'll drop a few hints. While we have a few feature concepts brewing, none of them are quite ready yet. We recently had a hell of a streak and now we're ready to settle down for a bit.
But look, it's not like we're laying down and dying out here. We're planning out a handful of short films and a couple of them should be going into production in the near future. We're still working out specifics. You'll likely start seeing updates about them soon enough. We're pretty excited to jump in on these.

That's enough teasing for now! We've got a whole new year to bug you! Why get it all out of the way now?
Hope everyone had a good holiday season! Here's to a great 2026!
