October is Underway! Fall Updates in Film and More.

Good morning I’m back to using my iPhone to write my blog. I have been looking at new MacBooks and will get one soon. So this week was again a strong reminder to appreciate every day. I went to a memorial of life for the younger brother of a dear high school friend. He was only 51 years old. Another CDI amigo lost a friend only two days after talking with him. Health is wealth and kindness is how you should approach each day. There has been lots going on with our creative endeavors. Here are some in no particular order.
1) Harsens Island Revenge releases streaming across the USA in 10/6/25 and we are all excited for everyone to see it. Amazon, Vudu, Google Play and more. DVDs are also for sale so you can own it. Order here: https://a.co/d/3yNyOtu

2) Nov 20th in Fort Collins, CO at The Lyric, Harsens Island Revenge will play with Don Most in attendance for Q&A.
3) Wild Faith Christmas is being pitched to theatrical bookers. We will travel end of the month to Tuscan AZ for the 10th anniversary of The Wild Bunch film fest. We close the festival and are up for 14 nominations. Oct 26th is when we play if anyone wants to join us.
4) Rom Coms Must Die is in post music. I will be dealing with that this week with our director and composer. If you have not seen the first trailer look on the film’s page on http://www.imdb.com

5) The Secret of the Kingdom Chip is in post undergoing editing. I’m wrapping up paperwork and bringing on the last few backers to round out our post and marketing costs. We had some timelines with location and a few key crew that required us to shoot a touch earlier. But we have all the gold. I’m so proud of the smooth process and we really put a great team together. No drama save what unfolded on camera. We had some wonderful sponsors that helped make the journey more enjoyable. If you want to be part of this project please do reach out.

Development-

1. This week I had several biz calls over one of our Iowa films. Museum directors, biz leaders and even a Senator. Spirit Lake Massacre is making moves and we just might get this off the ground in the near future.
   
2. We have some things developing with the film Gotch that is a Curran Jacobs vehicle. I need to read the new draft of that script.
   
3. I got a first read on the first draft of a sequel to my first starring role, a creature feature called In The Woods.
   
4. I’m about half way through a sequel script to MBF2. I am not in a rush to film it but I get asked often enough that I decided to get a first draft done.
   
5. Wrap Up: The full moon is Monday and I’m harvesting herbs for my teas. Lemon Balm, Sage, Mint and more. I’ve bought my first Christmas presents so that season is coming. I need to finish these current films while prepping for winter. I’m very happy with how 2025 has gone and 2026 will see more releases and more filming of stories. Thank you for bearing with me as I poke out these blog entries on my Iphone. Until next week, hazelnut cheers my friends! DJ
