Hello, again! (Patreon)

Hello, Patrons!

Spoiler: we’re very much alive. We have been hard at work on new content but we have been quiet since we announced two episodes of Movies with Mikey and some new Deep Dive coming! I’ll update one project at a time, starting with what our current situation is.

Houses and Healths: We have had to basically start a secondary full-time job doing the work to rebuild our house. Emotions are always complicated things. Teara and I only just recently started talking openly about the fact that we … went through a trauma and the next second we were homeless and couch-surfing at friends' houses. Kind of, it was a lot.

2021 was supposed to be different, dammit! I’ve been struggling with mental health this year, but I’ve been seeing a doctor and we are trying different medication options. Depression is a thing that never really goes away as I’m sure a lot of you know. I wanted a chill year. It was supposed to be margaritas and pool parties all summer, dammit! Small episodes and lots of topics!

BUT we have been working on so much and I think it’s really exciting! Doing our absolute damndest to get back on schedule. Without further ado, Some updates!

Deep Dive: Episode is shot, currently with Teara in editing! It’s Battleship and I think this is going to be a really fun and silly relaunch! We are now scheduling more shoots so we’ll have a lot of episodes to go into editing. The first vote for the film after Battleship is /imminent/

Movies with Mikey: Got two hot episodes in bound! Birds of Prey (where dumb me-boy thought “oh, add traditional animation to the list of things you are going to do on this show!” Either way, that’s far enough along we will be dropping an editing stream in the next week, so head’s up tacos and pretzies. I’m sorry I said pretzies.

The Hackers episode (with a guest writer!) is also coming along splendidly and goofily. I never knew I wanted to drop so much hot Eldtritch Millenial tech shit wisdom as hard as I wanna talk about 2400 baud modems and Tiger Direct Catalogs! Also, the absolutely wild reality of how and why this movie exists in our corporeal reality. It’s a rollercoaster!

Streams: videogame streams will be becoming a thing again. Those are for everyone and I'd really like to start streaming some fun videogames and talking more openly about life at FilmJoy. There will be another announcement tomorrow when the stream is live with a link to said stream. Roughly plan for 2pm Central to get all the technical stuff worked out.

Stuff is starting to land right now! Many updates coming over the next few weeks. Went quiet there while we dealt with some hard life shit. Thanks for being here. I know supporting us is not something you have to do. I appreciate so much the patronage. Lots of FilmJoy coming! 2021 gonna be our best stuff yet!
