news and notes 10.22.12


I'm not sure how much work I'll get done this week but, as you can see, there are worse locations to edit. I am currently somewhere on the panhandle of Florida for a week of vacation and hoping to make some more headway on Space Cops Ep. 4. However, my trip to the Dirty South won't slow down all the fun here on ye olde indie production blog.

If you're disappointed in the lack of an Indie Wednesday last week, we should be able to make it up to you. How about your News and Notes today, an essay from Allen on Tuesday comparing and contrasting his experiences in indie film and community theater, the return of Indie Wednesday, AND the often promised but as-of-yet-undelivered new VHessay on Friday. It's an analysis of an 80's flick with a video game tie-in. That's right; on a week you'd expect us to phone it in, we're stepping it up a notch! ...bang

In other indie production updates, Todd has completed his script for Space Cops 5 which we're going to be attempting to shoot in early November. The script has some pitch-perfect 80s TV moments in it, mixed with pure nuttiness. You may indeed get more than one Space Cops episode in 2012.

[Note: In this spot I had written a little summary of our Space Cops Pre-Production process. But, I realized it would make a good post all on its own being that this is an indie production blog, so you'll have to wait for that.]

Regardless, be sure to stop back in for all the new posts and essays and analysis right here this week! We're still closing in on 500 Twitter followers, so keep spreading the word. #500 gets a prize pack and if you sent a tweet that brought them to us, you'll get the same prizes.
