With August over, it is finally time to call it a wrap on
the Ashes of Man web-series. It had a good run, bringing in over 450 views
since the trailer aired back in June. A
few production photos will be posted on Stranger Things’ Facebook page shortly,
but then that will be the end of that.
It is definitely time to move onto something new. What that is exactly is anyone’s guess. As of right now, I have one of two avenues I
am considering pursuing. I am torn as to
which I will choose. If I can do justice
to both simultaneously, I will. I doubt
it though.
The big question is “Movies, or Writing?”
Movies
I have big plans for Stranger Things Studios. I’m talking along the lines of more movies; shorter
movies; with faster turn around times. Already
I have a list of potential scripts ideas typed up. People have been sharing submission
guidelines for upcoming amateur film contests, as well as registration
information for community film-maker classes. I’ve also laid plans for significant industry promotion across the Twin Cities. As of right now, I have not set any of it
into motion.
Or else there is…
Writing
Temporaltorium. Now there’s a phrase that has not come up in
more than a year. For me, it represents a
potential pot o’ gold that had been collecting dust in the back of my
mind. Totaling in at over 750 pages, the
dark fantasy novel about a band of unwilling allies trapped on a time-altering
island and hunted by a monstrous shadow beast is easily 250 pages too
long. I have been stalling on returning
to it because I have not been willing to commit the full year it will likely
take to finish it. But if I did, I could
very well have a sellable manuscript under my belt.
Decisions. Decisions…
I became father only a week ago. It has also left me a bit discombobulated,
but once I have the new addition integrated into the balancing act that is my
life I will have a better idea as to what I plan to do with myself. Until then, I apologize for any spans of
radio silence that may occur.
Oh yeah, by the way, Stranger Things’ next movie has already
been filmed. It’s due to release
sometime this month. Here’s a teaser
shot!
