Present 2

I asked our cast from The Greatest Treasure In the World to send me one song to represent their character and I made it into a playlist:

We put it on youtube

Present the 3rd

I can give you $1 access to stream SMALL TOWN IMPROV! An improv show I’m doing with some cast from aforementioned movie this Sunday 5/3 at 7:30PST at Dynasty Typewriter! Don’t live in LA? You can watch this show in beautiful 4-camera HD video and audio for $1 (or any amount)… because we’re giving access to this stream to anybody who supports our film on Seed&Spark! People on stream AND in person will be asked to share their small town stories. (Or medium town stories. You get it.)

(There are also still a few tickets to see the show in person in LA - DYNASTY LINK! Breathe our air!)

Our Seed&Spark is, right now, about $2,000 away from being the biggest campaign in Seed&Spark history. We decided to go with Seed&Spark instead of Kickstarter because (a) they have so much built in support for artists and (b) kickstarter takes 5% of our raise, and Seed&Spark takes 0%. Right now, that’s $10,000 of your money that’s going directly to the film instead of a tech company, which is enough to pay so many people to make art.

Anyway - watch our improv show by supporting bit.ly/treasurefilm!

Present the 4th - some Lore!

Our film, The Greatest Treasure in the World, is also improvised! Many people have thought that means there isn’t a script, which isn’t the case! There is still a lot of writing and planning involved. The movie takes place in the tiny (fictional) town of Saltine, CA and my co-writer, Siobhan Thompson, wrote a Lore guide for The Greatest Treasure in the World (read the full update here!)

Here’s a peek:

“Saltine was a wild west city so free that only the clinically insane would move here. And they did. In droves. So many in fact, that it became known as “the Bedlam of the West”. The witches stayed, many different mob factions formed. The witch families and the mob families went to war, and then, inevitably, fell in love.”
