July Content Update (Patreon)

Chads, Gosus and Hax0rs,
Thought I'd give you an update regarding what's up with me and what I've been working on. Wanna start doing this each month.

I'm pausing my Patreon income again. None of my backers should be charged this month.

I've been really sluggish this month in particular with my own productions. That's partly due to an abundance of editing work for a client I've had to prioritize. My mood's still been an issue, it's been hard getting ideas to come to me. As I wrote about previously, it appears I've lost my original voice actress for the roles of Claire and Kylie in my Arby 'n' the Chief series, which has contributed to the negativity of my mood as well as slowed the production of my remaining mainline episodes. I feel zombie-ish, like I need a long vacation, but I'm not even sure it would help, and I've already taken a big hit regarding my income with the repeated charge pausing. I'm hoping to get my wind back soon, I always do eventually.

Auditions for characters in said episodes remain open until I say otherwise on Twitter and/or the submissions page on my website, the latter of which has been recently updated to include requests for auditions from actresses for the Claire and Kylie roles as well as screenplay sides and dialogue samples for the characters. Unlike the other roles, those of Claire and Kylie are paid due to their particular integral and recurring nature in regard to season eight. Check out the submissions page on my website here for details:

I'd like to allow some time to pass for more auditions to come in before I start finalizing the edits of the remaining episodes. I've received a handful of female auditions so far, for which I'm very appreciative, but I'd like more still to select from if it can be achieved. If you're an actress, please consider auditioning, or if you know an actress, let them know about my offer.

In the meantime I've been working these past weeks on writing an Arby 'n' the Chief E3 2021 special. I was aiming to finish it by the end of last month and couldn't pull it off. I've only just finished a nearly-final draft of the script, which I'm still not entirely happy with as there's a bunch of jokes that need either punching up or cutting out because they suck.

Admittedly I've been falling back on playing video games more than usual, but I kind of need that right now, it's been keeping me sane.

I also tend to procrastinate from work on projects that should be my priority to develop ones that may come to fruition further down the line, including an elaborate, comedic media review show I've mentioned repeatedly before, as well as a Hard Justice reboot.

I don't want to confirm the latter's existence for sure yet but I have an entire season/feature film of the Hard Justice reboot roughly but extensively outlined already.

If I do make it, it may be released episodically or as a whole movie, maybe divided into labeled chapters Tarantino-style, hopefully without coming off as pretentious, I'm not sure what's best yet.

Some fans I've mentioned it to are looking forward to it from a comedy angle on recollection of the old seasons, and the reboot certainly would have humorous dialogue and genre tropes laced through it, but what excites me about it is that I really feel I have a solid, intense, 90's-shlock kind of action movie plot with a great villain and an impactful message about hope in a hopeless world, destructive chaos versus tyrannical order, collectivism versus individualism and what it means to be a good cop.

It will remain in the development phase, however, at least until I'm done with Arby 'n' the Chief season eight, which, as I've said, is all written, I just need to finish off shooting the last episodes, figure out the casting and get the episodes edited.

And regarding the media review show, based on what I have planned, if you're a fan of Red Dwarf, I think you'll like it. It'll involve practical effects and building some puppets and miniature figures and sets. I may even shoot it on tape as I'm going for a 90's television aesthetic.

Good stuff's coming, I just need more time. Thank you all for your patience and support of me, your contributions are such a huge relief to me and I'm very grateful to all of you. Please stay tuned.
