OK, so it's been like a year or so since I've posted to the blog. A lot has happened, so allow me fill ya'll in.
We finished the first 4 episodes of Cult 11 and had a rockin' screening party at Jon's place in LA earlier last month. He'd catered it with some solid Pilipino food and a big screen TV for the screening. About 30 or 40 people were there and from my perspective, all had a great time. Keeping the collective fingers crossed that he can interest some influential folks to help get it brought to the cable channel masses.
Right after I shot my Cult 11 episode I Wrote/Directed/Produced…etc the short film Little Boba. I had originally intended to submit it to the Stella Artios short film contest at TriggerStreet, but after some inspection of the rules I decided to go it alone and see if I could get it viewed the regular channel way (online and fests). It has been submitted to about 11 fests with some disappointing results but ironically, has been very well received online. Close to 500 people have seen the film so far (as far as I can tell) and I've had a GREAT response from the vast majority of those I've spoken with about it. Go figure. If you haven't seen it…well what are you waiting for? It's only 00:07:49…so go NOW! Let me know if you were entertained!
I also helped to start and continue a project, using some of the LRP PlayCast system, with some of the members of TriggerStreet. It's called Trigger Readers Theatre. Essentially, we are producing audio recordings of screenplays from the TriggerStreet Screenplay of the Month lists. With a little bit more pizzazz and tech coolness…our actors are recording simultaneously from all over the US and the recording sessions are being broadcast LIVE! We are currently getting a decent 16k recording rate with much higher rates to come soon. Best of all, Creative Screenwriting magazine interviewed some of us for an article in the March/April issue!

OK nuff for now. More to come!
