Been a bit since our last update and lots to tell:
1) We just recently finished work on the feature film version based on our web-series “Drawn by Pain”. It involved a lot of re-editing/sound design and concept work to morph it into the strong stand-alone feature film it was always meant to be. Now that it is done – I can promise that it really is a stronger experience in its true form.
2) As the work is ready to be seen, we are beginning to talk to various distributors about the best avenue for getting the most people to see the film. As the web-series already has a pretty large following – we really look forward to getting the right distributor in place to have it seen properly.
3) After negotiating with several film representatives, we recently signed with one and are super excited to have a company who truly believes in the film and its fanbase!
4) I will be speaking tomorrow September 23rd (2:45 pm) at the New York Television Festival giving the “Straight Dope” on Web TV (link below).
