Big, big news today.  The Mercury Men is a highly anticipated, independently created, dramatic sci-fi online video series.  There’s been buzz about it literally for years and now, finally, it’s about to be released to the public.  It will be shown for free “soon” on Syfy’s website.  Check out the trailer:

Here’s the official announcement on the Mercury Men blog.  Congratulations to Chris Preksta and everyone else who obviously worked very hard to make all this happen.  I can’t wait to see the show!

CAT and I had a great time at South by Southwest Interactive 2009.  One of the panels we went to was called Soapbox Spielberg where the panelists created special effects live during the hour.

CAT and I had the chance to participate as volunteers.  Erik Beck of IndyMogul directed us in one of the demonstrations – a short video about a man, a woman, and a cleaver.  Check it out!

There’s a complete writeup of the Soapbox Spielberg session over at NewTeeVee.

Check out these interviews Zadi and Steve got at the Spirit Awards.



“You can’t see paintings on the internet.”That really struck me. I’m not sure why. It doesn’t make much sense to me. I went over to the epic-fu community site and left the comment:

…you can’t slice a tomato with a karate chop either.

It’s interesting how some filmmakers in the video totally get it and some don’t. I guess we all move into the future at different rates.
