Major News: MOTW Web Series Debuts In May, MOTW MySpace Page Launches

Hey there.

Been a while since my last update, but I come with two very important announcements.

First, MOTW: The Web Series finally has a launch date.

After several months of delays due to production problems, the online webseries will finally have its world premeire sometime in May, most likely the early part of the month.

I don't want to set an exact date just yet, because --as I've learned many times with this project -- you never know when things may go wrong and there could be yet another setback. But I can say that as I type this blog, at least three episodes are nearing completion.

William Phelps, Brad Fish, and Sterling Gazdik have all been working on their episodes over the past few months. All three are now in the post production stage, with only editing, effects and some fine tuning left to go. So, it shouldn't be too long now before they are all completed.

Now, once I get the completed episodes, that's when I'll announce the official premiere date and shortly thereafter, you'll soon see them online.

When I first announced the series launch way back in January, Will Phelps was going to release the first episode. But now, with three episodes racing towards the finish line, I'd say the first one to get it completed will be the first to debut.

Watch this space around May 1st for the official announcement.

Now, for the other bit of news:

I've officially launched a MySpace page devoted to both the full length movie and the webseries.

I've been planning to have this set up at the MySpace site for a few months now, ever since the teaser trailer debuted last September, but I wanted to wait until things started rolling with both the movie and the webseries before I made it online.

My goal for this page is not only to drum up interest as well as support for MOTW, but also serve as an outlet for other filmmakers as well. In addition to photos and videos from both the movie and the webseries (full episodes will also be linked through the page), but I also will post extensive blogs and reports on the projects as well.

Now, this blog site will remain active as well. But, it will mainly serve for news updates on both the movie and webseries, as is the case now. Eventually, as production ramps up, I'll be keeping a diary of things as filming progresses.

Here's the MySpace page link: http://www.myspace.com/markofthewolfmovie. The page right now has the promo trailer and the webseries trailer and photos from episodes in development, but soon more stuff will be added. Hope you get a chance to check it out.

That's it for now. I'll have another update soon.
