Back in Business

Thank you to everyone who sent cards and emails over the past two weeks; they were very much appreciated. My Dad had been ill for six years, but always rebounded; and only three weeks ago he seemed to be bouncing back once again, but things turned and two days later he was gone. This one rocked me pretty hard, and still does, but at least now I can focus a little better and hopefully get some work done.

We have POWDER RIVER AND THE MOUNTAIN OF GOLD in post production right now. This will be done in the next few days and we should have it up for download by the end of the month. This one features REX TRAILER and his tv sidekick SGT. BILLY O'BRIEN! It's going to be a fun show.

MJ COGBURN continues post work on our FATHER BROWN MYSTERY series, and we are hoping to get these done by the end of October for a possible Christmas CD release. This will give us a total of eight episodes (and another 8 are planned)

Ray Bradbury'sTHE HALLOWEEN TREE is now in music scoring! I think I can say that this is going to be one of the most incredible music scores on ANY CRT show; we are debuting our new music system with this one, and the results are quite spectacular.

Our production partners at THE HOUSE OF COOL in Toronto pitched THE DIBBLE SHOW to a number of broadcasters at MIPCOM JR and MIPCOM in Cannes, France, earlier this month.This is the place where all the major broadcasters from around the world go to buy next years shows. We have several interested parties in the show, and I am keeping my fingers crossed that we can seal a deal in the next few weeks. You can see the DIBBLE animatic at the House of Cool website. Click on "House Work,: then "Original content," then "television," and a small tv screen will pop up; Dibble is the middle icon under this screen. click it and you will see the animatic. Also, to the left of the screen are numbered blocks. These have some drawings from the show.

This week I am going to be working on our POWDER RIVER episodes for Jim French's IMAGINATION THEATER. We are on the first Sunday of each month on radio stations all over the U.S. I am going to try and get a few months ahead of the game. Since Imagination Theater is an hour long show, I am taking two PR episodes and re-cutting them into a single episode. This means the credits also need to be re-recorded and edited; so, there is some work involved. You can hear the episodes online; they are streamed the week after they broadcast.

We are also expecting POWDER RIVER to be available on GDL Multi Media. They were due for release this month, but I don't think we have heard anything from them yet. We'll keep an eye on it and post the info when it is available.

Thats all for now. Adios.

Random Thought

From YAHOO News: Lights! Camera! Revolution! Unhappy with what he considers Hollywood's monopoly on the silver screen, President Hugo Chavez is bankrolling Venezuelan movies through a state-run film studio. Maybe he can get his buddies Harry Belafonte and Sean Penn to star in a few of them.

POWDER RIVER BACK ON THE AIR AT W0KIE!

In October of 2005, Dean Spratt contacted us about running POWDER RIVER on his Thursday night show on the W0KIE Satellite Network.We ran the first three seasons on Deans show - and he even guest starred in two episodes - before is untimely death in January of this year. We were contacted a short while ago by Janet Ross who runs a show on W0Kie on Sunday nights, and she wanted to run the series. So, we agreed to run POWDER RIVER on her show, S&J Assylum, Sunday Nights at 11:00pm EST! You need winamp to listen online; and you can hear the broadcast at the W0KIE site, by clicking on one of the several live stream links HERE.

A NEW BRADBURY PROJECT

In just a couple of weeks, Blackstone Audio will release our production of Ray Bradbury's SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES!

I am VERY happy to announce that we are now working on our third collaboration with Mr. Bradbury - THE HALLOWEEN TREE. Our cast includes J.T. Turner along with some very talented youngsters - Matthew Scott Robertson, Anastas Varinos, Connor Doherty, Curtis Brauner, Dan Duran, Jacob Rosenbaum, Rob Cattell, and James McLean. Nancy Curran Willis directs, Chris Snyder is the producer, and Jeffrey Gage is working on the music. We hope to wrap up post production in January or February, 08.

Bloopers Anyone?

For the first time EVER, I have posted a few bloopers from some of our recording sessions on the CRT FAN SITE. There are a few from CAPTAIN BLOOD, FATHER BROWN, and POWDER RIVER. If people like them, I'll put some more up.

CRT's J.T.TURNER ON STAGE IN BOSTON

Any CRT fans in the Boston area Sept.7-Oct.13 should stop by the LYRIC STAGE COMPANYto see J.T. Turner in the role of the tavern keeper in MAN OF LaMANCHA! Last year J.T. got rave reviews as Ben Franklin in their production of 1776, and I'm sure this show will be every bit as good. J.T. appears with CRT as Westbrook Ahern in THE DIBBLE SHOW, Mr. Dark in SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES (Oct. 1, Blackstone Audio), Lavasseur and the Governor in CAPTAIN BLOOD, several guest star roles in POWDER RIVER, FATHER BROWN, and his own A VISIT WITH AESOP.
