Megabyte trailer

"15 Eyes" is being shelved for now. It was impossible to avoid bloodshed with Izzy Lawson on such a project, as apparently 20 minutes actually means 30 minutes and 30 minutes is too long a movie.

The new debut production for the company is a teaser trailer for "Megabyte", a TV series about video game designers who must stop one of their creations from bringing about the end of civilization. Who knows if we will ever get the funding to make the actual series, but a trailer is a good start. The concept has been done several times before (i.e. "Ace Lightning"), but if we do end up producing the series, how we roll with the concept will no doubt generate interest ... I'm thinking it's one of those shows with a cult fandom.

Another Year

Here I sit wondering whether a blog for my company was a good idea on top of everything else I have to do. I am not a blogger by nature .... very rarely do I have something prepared to spew out in text for all the world to see (or not see, of course), because it takes so damn long for my thoughts to click into place and form a speech I feel satisfied with.

Life is non-fiction. If there's one thing I suck at writing, it's non-fiction. And that makes sense, because:
"You can't just create fiction, and let it replace your reality. If you want something to happen, don't imagine it, just do it." - musician / philosopher Susan Waycik

That's the mantra I live by. I can't spend hours and hours explaining to people what I'm working on. I show them instead. Or at least I try.

Dropping this barely-breathing blog like a hot potato, however, is an entirely different story.
