The Future is Near

Hey once again, everybody! I told you it'd be a little bit before the next post, so you can't blame me for being late. Now onto business!

Last post we talked about what projects we wanted to do after Island Wars, and where we saw the studio heading in the future. I am here to announce that it has once again changed... sort of. Will and I now have within our cerebral cortices a huge number of ideas for feature films, short films, serials, and even mini-series. It's hard to explain just how complicated (and at times annoying) the process of choosing which stories to put our time into and attempt to flesh-out.

We have a very high bar for a film idea. For instance, one of our many ideas was a film about an Indiana Jones-type character in modern times who finds either Atlantis or Shangri la. But we thew this idea out because it's not original. Just the fact that we described the characters and circumstances using characters from other films made it obvious enough. That's what we love about Island Wars. Even though we didn't portray it very well, and by the time you all see the film it will likely be buried under layers of random comedy, Island Wars has a truly original concept and story. In fact we find it hard comparing it to any other single films.

That said, the idea I said we would likely start filming right after Island Wars has been pushed into the "maybe pile" for future projects. As of this writing, we are pretty sure of three film ideas that we want to work on. One of them we threw out a while ago, but have recycled in a new way. One of them we had discussed for a while, but only after a five hour conversation with Will yesterday did it change dramatically in a way we really liked. And the last one we won't be able to start until next year. Whether any of these are feature films, or if any of them are Island Wars related, I still can't say.

Buuuttt, I have class now, and must go. We'll keep you all updated!

Happy Trails,
Sam.
