A Revolutionary soldier off fighting for freedom ate very differently than he did when home. The daily rations were issued un-cooked and a set of cooking utensils was issued to a group of six to twelve men. This group or “mess” of men would probably have chosen the best cook among them to prepare the […]

A team of editors led by K. Adithya Ashok have been assembling the 2nd episode of “Courage, New Hampshire,” and I get to look at the stunning results every day. I wish I could share the performance of Greg Martin as “The Burglar” with you, (above) because I’ve seen it now, at least 20 or 30 […]

We’re putting the finishing touches on a new teaser with a Wolfish theme, and I can’t get over how beautifully poetic and chilling the King James version of the warning is: “..Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves…” I’ve been advised to not use any […]

On our 2nd episode we had a full time still photographer, Thais Winzen, and I just now have gotten around to showing you all a little bit (actually a lot) of the final day of shooting.   We were attempting the governor’s mansion of New Hampshire’s John Wentworth — not an easy thing to do […]

So we showed Colony Bay members a bit of this the other day, but we color-corrected and added Rotem Moav’s score to the version above, and I have to say, well, what other people have been telling me — that it’s goose-bump and chill-down-the neck stuff. It’s also been the subject of no small amount […]

Only for Colony Members (join here) a working version of our first teaser/trailer for episode 2.   Comments welcome!

This post has nothing to do with Lucile Ball.  It’s just a strained reference to how long it takes to make a decent trailer. That’s what we’re working on now, a trailer that pitches the series as a whole and we have been learning a lot from an anonymous professional in the field, (not anonymous […]
