Major News: Filming Underway for New WebSeries Episode

Hey there.

Work has begun over the weekend on a new episode for the MOTW WebSeries.

Jackson Putnam from BrokenHouse Films -- the one behind the recent "Clock's Ticking" promo -- has informed me that he has started filming his episode, tentatively called "Intruder". He has also told me that he should have it completed very soon, perhaps sometime this week.

Stay tuned for further updates, including the world premiere of what will be the fourth episode of the series.

MOTW WebSeries Update

Hey there.

Things are still happening with the MOTW Webseries. Over the past few months, there's been some changeover with new people being added to the roster, while others have decided to drop out. Some will be doing mini episodes, or promos, as I call it. Some will be doing a bit of both. And there's been talk about how long the webseries will run and how long it will last.

So, here's a bit of a status report, as it stands right now:

--The webseries will resume with full on episodes sometime in October. I won't give an exact date until several are ready to go. In the meantime, plans are in the works for a new trailer to promote the series which should be ready later on this month.

--In the meantime, new promos are being planned and could debut later on this month or October for sure. I'm proud of the promo idea, as I've written several of these and there will be promos that will debut sporadically throughout the coming months.

--I want to give a personal shout out to Brett Driver and Emma Whitehall, two of the newest additions to the webseries roster. Brett and his company will be doing a full episode that I've written, and Emma, through her company, Inter Productions, will be doing her own original story, "Pet", that will be part of the series. I've met her through my good online friend Tony Gardner, who brought us "The Garage", the third episode of the series. I've read her story and it is very unique, which is what the series is all about. Welcome aboard guys.

--I'm in talks with several others about contributing to the series and will announce their names once things are set.

--I'm also in the process of directing an episode or two myself, but again it is in the talking stages.

-- Other episodes that have been announced over the past few months have started production. When they get closer to being completed, I'll fill you in.

--As to the number of how many episodes will be part of the series, it'll be somewhere between 12 to 14, which means the series will carry over into next summer. That may change, of course, but that will be the best estimate. There's also a chance that a few more episodes will be exclusively seen on the webseries DVD, which will be released next year as well.

--Also, plans are in the works for a new official website, which should be ready to go before the year's out.

And that's it. As always, things are subject to change, but do know that the series will continue and things are moving behind the scenes. Once this get rolling again, it promises to be an exciting ride from now until 2010. So stay tuned.
