HUMAN GAME IS PUSHING FORWARD!!!

 About 15 years ago, I created (with the inspiration of E. Vincent Burrows) a story about an African American serial killer because it wasn't seen or done before on TV. Well, the storyline progressed, and I filmed two of the scripts plus wrote a stranger/standalone script in the series that has gained some accolades! Below are several photos of its movement through the ranks. Not pictured is the ranking (which is 49% on Coverfly) of the script with the series Bible through The Titan Awards.

Just for fun, I will include the first concept short for the series which shows E. Vincent Burrows in the title role and H.B. Gibson as the Jamaican professor. FYI - H.B. Gibson later replaced E. as the title character in Human Game 2!

Enjoy!!!!

 

The BAFF and Stage 32 Animation Competition

 So I entered The Big Apple Film Festival’s Agents and Managers Lab again this year with my script *BEEP*!!! I had some success with The Choice in last Fall’s competition but it was cut short by the writers strike. If you check my older posts you can see some of the progress that was made before the strike. I am hoping that they resolve these issues before the end of the year so whatever comes of The BAFF this year will be productive (if I even get into the lab)!!!

Also, my sci-fi script, The Lepidopteran, was entered into the Stage 32 Animation Competition! I hope that people/readers of it will check out the artwork for the script in older posts by typing in the search box in the web version of my blog. If curious just type Lepidopteran and most of the articles/posts should pop up! I hope you and anyone interested in the script enjoy the art as much as the script. It would be awesome as anime!!! Below is one of my favorite pieces!

Peace ☮️

Revisiting The PACT

 About 10 years ago, I wrote and directed a short film that was to be an hour long pilot. It’s only 20 minutes but based on an hour long script. It’s about an actual group of mobile health care workers who I had contact with in the early 2000s. Amazingly, it cost only $2000 to make and was shot in just a few locations. It placed in the Semifinals of Fade In Online as well as showing in several festivals!!! Below is the trailer and short which can be found on YouTube!!!

I really want to remake this as a pilot so I hope you enjoy  😊

Afterwards There Are Rainbows 🌈

 I wasn’t expecting much today but Life is full of Love and surprises! 

First, I got a notification from FilmFreeway that The Towen 2 got accepted into The Cult Film Festival in England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 so I began notifying the cast and crew of their good news!

Next, I checked my and my mom’s blogs. Lo and behold, my mom’s blog had reached the 4000 mark (which is GREAT seeing that she has not been writing on it for a while) and when I checked my blog it had crossed the 90,000 mark!!! I was shocked and pleased because it has been increasing exponentially for the past few months! 

Finally at the end of the day it stopped raining and when I went out I saw not one but three rainbows 🌈!!! Two were together and the other was towards the right of the house so I snapped a few pictures!!! What makes this extra special is that during the rain 🌧 I was praying for an answer and when the rain came to an end I got it!!!! I won’t tell you what I was praying for but after I got the answer and those rainbows 🌈 appeared I knew GOD had heard my little prayer and was reassuring me that it was going to be okay!!!

Below are pictures of the rainbows 🌈… sometimes it is the little things that make a difference!!!!

Love and Light to you all!!!

HG3 Update Plus Book Campaign News

 I did something different with my script HG3 (Human Game 3: The Revelation) by attaching a series Bible to the script on Coverfly.com as a separate entry into a competition. It was the same competition that I entered *BEEP* into and it didn't place BUT as an individual entry it did score high enough to rank 49% on Coverfly!!! So maybe the effort wasn't for not even though I wanted it to place!

Also, I started last week a national campaign promoting my books. Maybe some of you received a letter in the mail with 2 postcards in it. On the postcards I have QR codes for the different sites that I wanted more exposure for, and one postcard had the books QR codes on Amazon along with the url sites for my social media. If you'd rather order the books from the publisher, Outskirst Press, please check the links provided below or in previous posts.

 I'd like to generate more interest in SAPIEN FILMS and our projects so please do subscribe or connect with me on the web. Unlike the blog, I can actually respond to your queries and comments through other media platforms!
