A Month's Worth of Updates

I apologize for not keeping the blog up to date. It must be my time caving in on me. Anyway, there are a lot of things to be caught up on and I'll start from one month ago and work forward.

Very close to one month ago, Jackalbane and Two5Eight Pictures entered the Ultimate TMO'er competition. It featured such well known moviemakers as andyinc, dulci, kwistufa, kingpengvin, and more! The basic set up was that each weekend I would commit to creating a film in 48 hours and release it for the general public. To make it even more complicated, restrictions were given every 12 hours to limit what you can use in your film. It was a tough competition and every fought bravely.

Sadly, while the competition still rolls on, Jackalbane was eliminated in Week 2. On the other hand, he released a top notch film that weekend, Midnight Marathon. You should definitely check it out.

Moving forward a bit, we are back to Spelling Bee. Now, Spelling Bee: Episode 3, which started filming over a month ago, is still filming. Half the the feature has already been filmed and it only will take some time and effort to finish it off. The trouble is, considering the next update, it may or may not be released soon.

Now I must warn you, the next update is such exciting news and it happened so quickly that no one could have imagined it. You will be excited!

Remember that old script for the movie Watched that just took so long to be written? The one about the woman being harassed over the phone by a stalker that's watching her? Well... the script for Watched is DONE!

In fact, Watched has gone through some major updates since you last heard about it. The script was finished, a cast has been assigned, it has been announced to the public that we are looking for a late May/early June release, and a teaser is being worked on as we speak! Funny what a month can do to you, eh?

So, out of nowhere, Watched has taken a front seat and is looking better than ever! Spelling Bee is not forgotten though. The scripts for Episode 4 and Episode 5 have been written and the entire season has been fully planned (about 12 - 15 episodes). Whew! That would be enough to take a studio through a loop wouldn't it?

Well, I'm not done yet. Recent news from Two5Eight Pictures sounds like they'll be adding something special to the PR of Watched! Nothing has been announced concretely, but rumors have been floating around that it will be a profitable endeavor for those involved!

After all that updating, I think you can see where this studio is looking - towards the stars (real and figuratively). More updates will come about Watched in the coming weeks (cast, production info, etc.) so stay tuned!
