Genrefinity: The Series Casting Announcements

Two weeks ago we held auditions for the lead roles for Genrefinity: The Series. We had a great turnout with some very talented and eager actors. Obviously we could only go with two and the two that got the parts are Mat Labotka and Adam El-Sharkawi. Our first table read/rehearsal is set for August 15, and then the shooting of the first episode will commence on August 30. The remaining six episodes will be shot through December or January pending everyone’s schedules.

After two years Dead in the Water was finally released in Japan.

Project Updates

Due to the economic downturn it’s taking longer than expected to raise funding for The End Has Gone. Because of this we’ve postponed production until 2010 when we hope to have the project fully funded.

Genrefinity: The Series is moving along nicely. The first five episodes have been written, and we will be holding auditions towards the end of July. The first episode is slated to be shot in early August. To learn more about Genrefinity: The Series visit Genrefinity.tv.

Brad Sucks Releases Out of It

Brad Sucks is a “one man band” (self described) that was kind enough to let us use a track from his debut album in Dead in the Water. It’s been about two years and he released his followup entitled “Out of It”. It’s definitely worth a listen and, what is standard for Brad, you can download the album absolutely free from his website at www.bradsucks.net. If you like it please throw the man some of your hard earned cash. It’s $10 if you buy the CD or MP3’s directly from him or $9.90 on iTunes.
