In between everything else I have going on I'm now developing a new web TV series.

Hold on, let me back up.

We just finished the screenplay for my next feature film and are just about to start sending the script out to actors, etc. And, we're of course fundraising.

Also, I'm continuing to deal with the foreign ditribution of my latest feature "Killing Down", and we're still shopping the movie for a domestic deal.

And of course I'm still doing my bread and butter corporate and commercial video projects.

So anyway, yes, I am going to tackle developing a new web series. I have a good idea. Have some cast in mind. Already working with a writer. Even have a mock-up poster design done (yeah, I really do - on almost all my features I typically work on a poster look way before the movie even exist - helps me be creative).

Why am I doing this? Do I really think it can be successful?

I get wrestless if I'm not working on some kind of narrative project. "Killing Down" has been done for nine months. The next movie (we hope) will shoot in the fall. I need something to do now.

Can it be a success? Have no idea. Odds are definitely stacked against it, but I'm willing to try.

I really like the idea of the Internet allowing fimmakers to be their "own distributor". I also like the idea of keeping control. And keeping costs down.

So we'll see. Right now we haven't even written word one on the page. We've been bouncing ideas off each other and thinking of show titles, etc.

All I'll say now is if it goes as planned it will not be your "typical" web based fare.

Well on second thought, it will have sex and guns, so maybe it will? ;)
