Yeah, you do. I tried submitting some info on "Good Try, We Don't Like it" and they turned it down. But I'm trying to help Graham out here by telling as many people as I can about his show, it won't do much, but it'll help.

And I certainly appreciate all the help I can get.  Thanks for the tips and I am currently discussing future episodes and possible festival submissions with my co-creator now.

The only way I think he'll get on there is as the series goes along and gets better more people will start caring... Maybe even pimp your series on IMDB boards or send it to one of the admins for them to watch and maybe if they like it they can overlook the unknown issue.

Maybe to get public interest get a IMDB premium account and boom maybe that is the way ha-ha

The independant boards on IMDB would be a great place to start.

Yeah, we're also trying to hit some film festivals.  Actual awards would help amazingly.

I didn't know film festivals accepted series, if that is the case this is great news for you. They can't fault you guys on effort but in order to get the female audience you need a female strong character, their are more women in this world and well let's face it men alone can't make you famous.

I hear that.  We're actually taking this quite serious.  One of the characters to be presented was going to be male, but now his gender may be switched.  Or, he may be axed all together and a new character will be brought in.  Still not sure, but I guess we'll see.

I guess when you're not paying money to your cast which I'm guessing is the case here it's hard to coax someone into being in it given the nature (Comedy, sitcom) but you could always use one of the casts girlfriend as long as she's comfotable on camera.

By the way when will episode 2 be released?

We are currently writing both episodes two and three and will hope to have them filmed back to back as soon as possible.  Unfortunately, we don't know when we can get everyone together, but we're trying to get it done by the end of October.

Yeah, I guess everybody needs to go on with life and can't just give up time to be in it. Another thing you can do is get some fans of the series to do commentaries for you so you can find out what they think and also that would be cool tolisten to from a fans point of view.

I believe it's simple to use a computer recording device, I've found Audacity to be very good and get them to record themselves talking about the episode and you can take that recording and do whatever you did with your to add it on and boom you have another commentary track and feature ha-ha

I dunno what it's like in the US or Canada, but when I worked on a few short films in the UK, it was extremely easy for us to get actors to work for free. We placed a couple of adverts in national magazines and soon we were recieving tons of portfolios and resumes from actors willing to work for free just to build up their showreel. One guy we used had a small part in Black Hawk Down, another had appeared in the soap Eastenders, and another was on a nationwide television commercial.

If you provide food on set (sandwiches), contribute to travel costs (if any) and treat them well, a lot of upcoming actors are willing to work just on the promise of a credit and a VHS/DVD copy of the film.  A lot of them are damn good actors too.

Well that's good to know. I always thought that people were self involved and greedy and would never do anything to help others.

I'm lucky because a few of my friends are into acting.  So, when I'm making something, they have no problem with being in it.  Though, when I had to make something for school two years ago, I asked this kid who was in all the plays to be in it.  He said he would have to see the script first and I laughed.  Who knew he wasn't kidding?  Anywho, I didn't give him the script because I thought he was too stuck-up.  So, I ended up making this shitty zombie movie with a friend in the lead who, despite his claims at the time, was one of the worst actors ever.  Movie sucked anyway, hence there is only one copy and it's with me, never to be seen by anyone else ever again.

Hey everyone.

The final small featurette has been uploaded to both my acidplanet account as well as my myspace (for those that do not want to register with acidplanet).  It's a five minute video of our voice over session with Brett Anderson.

Enjoy!

Awesome, I'll go watch it later and review it on acidplanet.

Some great news for myself as well as anyway who enjoyed our pilot:

Episode 1.2 is officially on, and we will be getting everyone together during the week before Thanksgiving to film.  There will be no re-casts, and everyone is returning in their original roles (plus a few new characters as well).  It is currently being written with more emphasis on humor, though we will still keep the philosophical side of things as well.

And, as a sort of a bonus, the new episode will be a sort of a holiday episode because of the timing (the episode itself will probably be released in early to mid December).

Stay tuned!

Cheers.
