When the idea becomes a reality

The some of the cast of Stillness of the run

A few years back I got the idea for the script for Stillness of the run. Originally I thought it would make a great short movie, that could be extended to a full feature. As I worked on it and the obligatory re-writes it dawned on me that it was the making of a possible series. The more I got into the characters that came out of my imagination onto the page, the more I felt a full feature, never mind a short film, would never do them justice. 
As any Independent filmmaker knows funding for shorts, features and series are a serious under taking if you want to do your project right. Somehow I felt that SOTR needed to be a series. We submitted the script to a few film festival and it did well, quite well actually, and cemented the idea that this project needed to happen. 
COVID put everything on the back burner, but finally last summer (2023) we started filming the pilot. 
The cast we were blessed with were more than any writer could dream for, and while some scheduling conflicts required moving the script around and pushing some characters' intro to later episodes, it still was more than we hoped for. 
I'm a firm believer that if it isn't broke, don't fix it. With that said I love working with a core group of actors that have been our ride or dies. These actors have joined our shenanigans whether part of cast, crew or just cheering us on. That formula has created magic for us when we are filming and I can't wait to share that magic with the rest of you.
I know some people say never work with family. I am blessed that the blood relatives that we work with which are amazing and true professionals. The inherited family that we work with have further made what we do fun, exciting, emotional and created so much passion for us to continue on this journey. 
I cannot not wait to update you further on the progress and when we can showcase their incredible talents. Stay tuned.
