Production Update October 2016
With our main pre-production crew member working on the “Historical” Pitch reel, and our main production crew member working on our IndiGoGo Pitch reel, and our Lead Production Assistant heading our CTNx booth for this month, not a lot of actual production was created in October, so we’re relegated to Marketing news, which is important […]
Production Update September 2016
First of all, let me apologize for not getting the September update posted until October. Secondly, this “Production Update” is actually a pot pourri of our marketing and production activities for September; our new larger CTNx booth, our Pitch Reel to finish the doc, and finally a bit of production, on the “Kurtz on the […]

Production Update April 2016
For over a decade we have been meticulously selecting clips from some of our interview s to create individual scenes, and working on one scene at a time, with no worries about where each one will fit in the documentary. We’ve created an animated scene to illustrate Jules Engel talking about how Bobe Cannon […]
Boing Booth @ CTNX
Although we’ve had booths two years in a row at the downtown Burbank Art Walk, this was the first time we had a booth at the massive indoor CTNX event, and it was an amazing success for us. Our goal was to sign up more crew members, and incredibly we got over a hundred, some […]
