News and Notes / Indie Wednesday 6.26.13


Let's go two-for-one today. Yes, I may have missed News and Notes on Monday and yes, that may have ruined your whole week, but trust me, it's all going to work out for the best. So, let me get you caught up with some updates before we enjoy our Indie Wednesday short.

-  We're busy. That may mean things run behind on the blog now and then, but it also means we have no less than three productions underway that you'll soon be able to enjoy. We get tired of only sharing other filmmakers' fine work with you. We want to make you happy too you know?? We're funny too! Aren't we? ...Guys? (and not at all insecure)

-  You already know several episodes of Space Cops are on the way, but I'm also excited about Todd Sheene's latest brainchild that will take us into the world of "reality" television and also into the world of... the paranormal? We had a great meeting on the subject Friday night, right on Main Street, Danville. It's going to be weird, but what else would you expect?

-  In news that makes me want to shove a screwdriver in my ear, Kanye West is the creative director on a Jetsons movie? Apparently nothing is impossible for Satan Kanye's agent.

Indie Wednesday: Larry Cohen



I like to keep it a little more micro than this, but it does qualify as indie and sometimes you just need to share stuff that's good. Dean Winters (aka Mayhem) of 30 Rock fame is always enjoyable as well. If you need further convincing to click play, how about a short synopsis:
Ryan had a bad night. Her phone is dead. And in a moment of indecision, she just left everything on the F train. Desperate, she turns to Nick, an off-duty MTA worker of suspect morals. The two strangers enter into a contentious deal to chase down the subway, before it vanishes with Ryan’s luggage and any chance of her getting home. What's the worst that can happen?
