The Scoop: The August Box Office

A passerby walks past the theater, noticing
the upcoming STS films advertised in the windows.
So it’s not quite August, but we’ve got some news that can’t wait that long.  For example, Stranger Things Studios has two movies slated for release next month, and the first is this coming Friday!

"The Half-Orc Encounter" - Director's Notes

Aldran and the Half-Orc face off.
This isn't your typical 8-bit reenactment of a role playing session.  This is what it's truly like to experience the nerdom that is a Dungeons & Dragons role playing session.  With the aid of a battle map, several game manuals, and a set of dice, not only does this crew of friends control their characters in a medieval fantasy adventure, but their imaginations play out in an epic cinematic fashion.

*Note: On a technicality, we were not using AD&D, but another role playing system called GURPS.

The Scoop: July - Training Time

Our first film date for the Half Orc II is coming up fast.  Locking down a date was a herculean task in and of itself.  Coordinating everyone’s schedules, and finding a date when everyone was available, is something we’ve never had to deal with before.  All our other movies have been stand-alones, where we could always just pull in another person to fill a gap.  Not with this film.  We need the original gang back together to do it.
