The Ides of March passed and I didn't have a chance to upload anything spectacular. I had skipped town to cast my net of specific skills on the other side of the boat: North Texas. I've taken only just enough equipment to finish projects unending and complete what may come.
As an avid enthusiast of MMA, more so martial arts of eastern origin, I began training two friends of mine and some family. They did exceptionally well, adapting the text book examples into their own styles, however we no longer train. Because of my move I am unable to train them. Having studied copious amounts of content online and through various books (all official and unofficial) I still want to pass on my knowledge one way or another. I might posting videos on my YouTube account, or at the very least posting my notes here, it might become an ongoing series, but either way its going to be a party.
Speaking of series, I want to make a five episode short about mental health. Hopefully I can start working on that throughout April into late May, maybe even June, but no later than that. I want that whole thing uploaded by July. I'm still juggling around with the concept and which direction to go, no script yet, but its something that on my heart.
Still trying to get a final version of Nosferatu: A Modern Rendition up. As mentioned before my editing machine is back at HQ in the RGV. Its just about ready to go, just some post-production things to take care of. However, I am already looking into producing/ directing a short based on Norwegian folk lore. I don't want to go into too much detail, but the short will be based on one of Ibsen's plays and will probably be a "Modern Rendition".
That being said I am going to bring an end to modernizing old plays or just stories set in a time before the 1960's. I did it with the Jewish Wife and Nosferatu (originally Dracula). After the Norwegian short, I want to do two more "Modern Rendition"s. One of them will be the Greek tragedy Medea, and the other will be a Shakespearean work (possibly). I'll do more if they are royalty free or if it would be easy for me to obtain the rights to produce it, but I want to move away from reinventing the wheel and creating original work.
So for now the production schedule is as follows unless something catastrophic occurs. These do not include the release dates, but might be released within the time frame.
- March 20th - May 13th
Norwegian Short
- May 22nd - July 15th
Medea
- July 24th - Oct 14th
Shakespeare
Aside from those productions all the other stuff I've mentioned will be released during and in-between those dates. Nosferatu by mid-April, a coffee short a friend and I were working on by the end of April, the Mental Health series, the MMA series, and the occasional life updates (here on the blog at least once a week and on the vlog every two weeks). My life may be more scrambled and fried than an omelette crafted by Bradley Cooper right now, but story telling is in my blood and I won't stop until God says "No."
