Last Star Update

Hi folks,

Unfortunately a lot of progress stalled this year due to some health issues. It’s also why the Armageddon exhibit was so last minute. There’s also the associated expenses with the final elements of post production that have given me pause.

Regardless of the fore-mentioned hurdles, I believe we can still have something ready for festival submissions in the not too distant future. Communication is already underway.

Perhaps the most immediate concern is getting the soundtrack sorted. Music is such an essential component and will no doubt have a profound effect on the film.

In reality the film should have been shipped out several years ago, it’s been a dreadfully slow grind to get to this point. Given the technology you’ll soon be able to generate an entire film with a few prompts.

This probably sounds a bit crazy, but I recently outlined a brief synopsis for a sequel to Last Star. New themes to explore bubbling in natural progression with what has come before, it was extraordinarily exciting to contemplate.

It would be different, the whole approach would have to be different with a grander production and emphasis on a timely release. Of course this would require a full team and unlike Last Star it would probably have to be funded and financially viable to achieve the desired outcome.

Don’t worry, Last Star is a self contained story but I couldn’t help but wonder what came next after watching it. Perhaps we’ll see how well Last Star is received or if there’s any appetite for more stories before expending additional energy.

Well folks, that about sums it up for now. Oh… almost forgot. I do hope to have a little surprise for you just before Christmas so keep your eyes peeled, however it might also be something you want to avoid.

Curiouser and curiouser.
