I finally got a welcome/starter/teaser video up on the YouTube channel. Pretty simple, but hey, at least something’s there! Not much blogging lately — tons and tons of stuff going on in terms of prepping for the shooting dates of July 6-13. Locations still need to be secured, the storyboards…

My shooting dates are locked down, as I mentioned previously; and things are moving forward smoothly (for the most part). I’ve been fortunate enough to get some true pros on board for shooting and sound. That’s a big piece of the filming pie. Locations are proving more challenging, and there…

The dates are locked in for filming Episodes 1 & 2 of “The Body.” It was a bit of hit-and-miss, as schedules were difficult to align for an 8-day shooting block. But we’ll be starting on July 6, 2025, and going through July 13. I’m happy to be going straight…

I’m finally over the mega-cold I had in France. Just in time to get surgery for basal-cell carcinoma on my face! Now, from what I’m told, if you’ve gotta have cancer, this is the kind you want. It’s non-aggressive and almost never spreads. That seems to be the case here,…

I just got back from a “vacation” to France. My wife and I visited our new grandsons, who live in a Paris suburb. I hadn’t yet met them in real life, and was greatly looking forward to the trip. But this was one of those “life throws you curveballs” moment….

Scripting is going very well for Episode 2, Season 1 of “The Body”. Some really interesting stuff is coming out of my brain on this one. The story is taking directions I didn’t expect. This can seem strange to non-writers (and even non-fiction writers), as it would appear obvious that…

I’ve finished the script for Season 1, Episode 1 of my web series “The Body.” It was a lot of work, but I’m happy with where it is. I’ll be tweaking it going forward, but I feel confident it’s pretty close to ready for shooting. There are a lot of…

I’ve locked down much of the principal cast now. A lot of work, a lot of auditions, but the result is that I’ve found a bunch of really terrific actors. I’ve cast all the parts of the main family for “The Body,” including the husband, wife, and daughter, and each…

I loved “Twin Peaks” when it first came out in the 1990s. It was like nothing that had ever been on TV before (or since). We were seeing something new, and that’s the hardest thing to do: creating something original, something unique, something surprising at all times. That’s what David…

Casting continues. I’ve done a bunch of virtual auditions over the last week or so. There is some real serious acting talent in the DMV, and I’ve only scratched the surface. I’ve been completely impressed with the actors. It gets me excited about what we can do. One of my…
