On Monday night (August 11th, my historically-inclined friends), we wrapped principal photography on Legends of Minigolf: The Flamingo's Challenge (a name I'm increasingly realizing that no potential distributor is going to let us keep). If you cannot tell whether or not this is good news, allow me to tell you: this is good news.

It's been a blast. The cast I worked with was just wonderful and realizing this beautiful dream was beyond fantastic. It was something I really enjoyed doing, but it's been kind of nice to return to a more even pace.

Meanwhile, my good friend, William C. Stewart (alias Volker the Fiddler), who has a small part in the film, has made his blog into a daily affair. New content is added every day, be it story, musing, or drawing. If you're not reading it, check it. It's great.

He has very nearly inspired me to update this blog more regularly, if not daily. So I thought about it. Turns out I'll probably just redesign it again instead. Cheers!

Production began on Legends of Minigolf: The Flamingo's Challenge two weeks ago today. We've run into the usual sorts of production hiccups, but I'm pleased with what we're getting. The cast I'm working with is really incredible. We're going to have something very good to show for this once we're done.

Also, I've decided to begin Twittering. Because I can, I guess.

This Summer, it's happening. I'm making my feature directorial debut. Enoch Allred and I have been working hard on writing on a script currently titled Legends of Minigolf: The Falmingo's Challenge, the seeds of which were planted while shooting Patrick Svensson's Hopscotch Hotshots in 2004. We still have a lot (most) of the cast and crew to line up, but today I launched the project's (admittedly sparse) official webpage.

I'll be moving back to Provo in the Summer to direct it. It's a sports comedy-cum-naturalistic drama about a guy whose life is getting back on trail and the mini-golf supervillain who derails it.

If you have any questions or would like to be involved in any way, please don't hesitate to drop me a line.
