It’s still summer here in Phoenix but the heat is letting off, somewhat. That means it’s time to cut the grass and work on the magazines and publish some of your excellent writing.
As I write, I thought I’d let you in on other things going on. I have started looking forward to retirement and am focusing on what to do. My own grandfather died when he was 82, while riding his bicycle, to his daily job at a factory. My father went out at 92.
I want to go out like that, doing something that I enjoy and being productive.
So, this year, I have taken up the contrabass. I am also moving forward into filmmaking and podcasting in addition to writing and editing. You may have noticed the new header at the top: Podcasts.
It is populated by only some initial efforts but the larger effort: “The Nephilim Hunter” is a series that is in the end stages of post-production. Look for it this fall. Like anything, I’m sure these will get better with practice.
This was a busy summer for filmmaking. Here is a link to a recent film of ours that made the film festival circuit a couple of years ago: Because I Could Not Stop Death (youtube.com)
We completed four new short films this summer (all heading to the festival circuit) and we are working on a longer film: “The Tragedy of Pontius Pilate.” Currently, in pre-production, we have started building sets and casting. Here is a link to our fundraising site if you care to throw a nickel or two into the project: GiveSendGo | The Tragedy of Pontius Pilate. We truly appreciate anything you might contribute.
That’s all for now. True Chili and Black Works are in progress and should be out in September and October.
