I have a lot of people tell me I should turn this project into a feature. I don’t disagree, but that takes finishing funds so want to talk to you about goals for this project.

1) Finish the episodes! I have eight more which should take me through July. Then I can work on the proposals I would need to potentially secure the funds for post production to turn this into a feature. There are grants, and pitch meetings to be had… 2) an idea I like better is to write more MUCH more so much more that this becomes a novel. I want to take a lot of the blog posts and on sending queries to various publishers to see if they bite.

So those are the immediate goals. What do you all think? Would you be interested in watching the feature version of this project? Would you spend $9.99 to buy a DVD copy? Would you want to read a more in depth version of what happened while I was in Alaska?

The other thing is a lot is up in the air personally right now. It’s interesting this whole year so far has been me living this sort of nomadic existence, mostly out of suitcases and never really being settled. This has proved challenging, but I am doing my best to hunker down and get things done as best I can. That being said this is now a call for assistance… again. I need help promoting this project. I need PR help, marketing help. I asked once before and no takers so I am going to keep asking and putting it out there. Also as things wrap up on the episodes I would want to talk to some editors out there with feature doc experience about putting this bad boy into a longer version… and in general if you want to help out with something let me know what and I am open to it!

Now back to editing Episode 12!
