So, this is my first blog post of 2014, which in some ways actually reflects how I've been feeling over the start of this of this year. Basically, very low. I don't know how or why, but since around mid December I've not had my head in gear.
Second season syndrome, last year was PixieFairie Media's inaugural year and had a cosy if not spectacular spell. Eliza's Prize worked its way around festivals as a debut. ForeverTogether was invited to the French Polynesia Film festival. Co-productions with Nun With A Gun continued as well as a new collaboration with Broken Nation Films.
So where are we at for 2014?
Despite what feels like a slack year in terms of actual slated productions, the following projects are currently in various stages of development by PixieFairie Media
The Christmas Guest
Starring Emma Beaver and Robyn Prager
Principle photography was wrapped late 2013 on the short film project, but technical difficulties with the edit have led to some unexpected delays. A complete re-edit of the timeline and material has enhanced it, and hopefully once the music track is re-instated it should be ready for release to festivals.
#LoveMonkeyChocolateFlowers
Starring Natty Boyd-Fields, Vanessa Mayfield, Gavin Jackson, Danielle Johnson, Rick McCleod and David Ault
This experimental project is constantly evolving, issues with video and sound quality have caused a rethink as to its release format. With two videos still to come in from the volunteers, its looking more likely that instead of one long piece it will be released in parts as a Web Series.
Untitled Feature Project
Starring TBA
Bubbling away under the surface is a feature project along the lines of the anthology films such as V/H/S and Black Sabbath, Tales From The Crypt and Asylum. Still in planning stages, it is hoped that progress will be made later on in the year.
In The Line Of Duty: The Vanguard Archives
Starring David Ault, Viktor Aurelius, Jeff Niles, Gwendolyn Jensen-Woodard
The audio drama series continues to release short episodes telling the story of corruption and thirst for power in American government in a near future thriller created by Ben Reed.
Music Video
Held over from 2013, it is hoped that a music video for a Christmas single by all girl rock band "Stripped," will be completed in time for Christmas 2014.
More details over the coming weeks, but here's hoping for more to come.
