When the world's first genetically engineered living toupee runs amok, can the local barber save the world from HELL TOUPEE?
HELL TOUPEE, my graphic novel, is now finished.  It will soon be available for sale on Hammination.  It turned out to be seventeen chapters long and 434 pages.  I am at work on a trailer for it that will appear on YouTube, Facebook, and Twitter.  You will soon be able to use PayPal to buy it here.  As soon as I get an email from PayPal, I will send you the PDF via WeTransfer.com.

"CREATED EQUAL" KICKSTARTER CAMPAIGN ENDS.

8/23/2013

My Kickstarter campaign for "Created Equal narrated by Julie Newmar" ended today.  I thank the people who pledged $220.  Since we didn't reach our goal of $6500, you will not be charged.  I really appreciate it.  It's the thought that counts.  

This film about how adult mentally and physically challenged artists see themselves and the world was originally envisioned as a feature somewhere between 70 and 90 minutes long.  Since we didn't raise the goal of $6500, I won't be shooting new interviews.  The film will still be made, but on a smaller scale.

This was the first year I was privileged to see all the shorts nominated for Oscars.  I saw the animated short category (PES' animated Fresh Guacamole was only 39 seconds long, the shortest film ever nominated), the live action short category and the documentary short category.  I was amazed to see that some of the "shorts" were nearly an hour long.

So "Created Equal" will be a "short".  When I get through assembling the interviews already filmed and animating some of their artwork, the film will be somewhere between 30 minutes and an hour.  This actually might be good news.  None of it will be filler.  It will be a lean movie with no fat.

Now to the editing process.  I will keep you posted on progress.  I need to cut it all together, and send it off to the wonderful Julie Newmar for her to record her voiceover.

I was on Valerie Branch's radio show Something To Talk About last Sunday.  She is a bright funny hostess.  It was fun talking to her and Kells Lynch.  Here is the link:  http://www.fccfreeradio.com/?page_id=11715
