Charlatans and Cowboys: T-Minus TWO Days!

With our big premiere only two days away, we are all finishing our final preparatory doodads-- polishing epaulets, sanding elbows, shaving necks, etc.-- so that it will be a glamour-filled evening of cinematic richness. We do hope ever so much that you will be there to share the fun with us...

Along those lines, Focus EMU Online just published a cool interview with Jen about EDENWOOD, which can be read here.

On the bill with EDENWOOD is the first episode of DARKIVES, our projected comedy/horror series about really, really bad supernatural investigators, starring Dave Rahbari as Thackeray Hovelpox and Tom Szymanski as the mysterious Barnabus. It marks the first project we worked on with Joe Sacksteader, producer/writer extraordinaire. It is also the first time we used a green screen for "special" effects work. Man, it took a ton of work to make the effects look as amateurish as they are-- the first attempts were just too smooth and pro-looking. Like a Transformers movie or something.

Thackeray Hovelpox has his own blog, The Darkivist, where he goes into more depth on his adventures, philosophy, recipes, etc. Check it out and see why the International Guild of Supernatural Investigatory Individuals calls it "utter rubbish from the mind of an insensate buffoon". Guess old Thack is a little ahead of his time...

In any case, here is a trailer for the Darkives pilot, "The Wee Pigtails of Death", to get you in the mood for some supernatural chicanery. Enjois!
