In The Writer's Corner…
Still talking with Nasser Entertainment about a new project. They have some really cool things going on over there and I am honored that they would want me to be a part of them.
The writing for Saddleback Press is going very well. They are always great to work with and I just cannot say enough about how much I enjoy being on their team. They are going great and important things and it means a lot to be associated with that.
My next young adult fiction book ATTACK OF THE DRONES will be out through Ronni's Books in February of 2014. In addition to that, I have started a new YA book titled, THE MOTHCATCHER AND HALLOWEEN COSTUME. It too will be released by Ronni's Books in early 2014.
FALLING APART is done and being pitched around now. The logline is… Michael Gans is in a race against time after he's infected by a mysterious illness that causes him to lose all of his body parts. I am now outlining my next screenplay titled BODIE. My goal is to write 6 new screenplays this year with BODIE being the first.
The animating of INSECT is done. I am going to start editing it at the end of this month. I cannot believe that it is completed. The above picture is a shot of the main character Reggie (voiced by Nik Hill) as he faces off for the first time against the Insect. I tried to make the Insect a cross between a suit of armor and the PREDATOR. Those yellow things on its body are actually openings that allow Reggie to see inside of it. This is kind of a weird movie but hopefully not so weird that the audience is vaporized.
It looks like DV and DV2 will be coming out on DVD before they are released on VOD. I should know more about Cinema Epoch's plans this month.
I am planning to make a bunch of quick, micro-budget movies this year as well in an effort to bulk up the Anhedenia Films library. The first one will be about the Kennedy Assassination. I will report more on that next month.
Best,
Evan Jacobs
Hello!

It will be very interesting to see what 2014 has in store!

In The Writer's Corner…
Presently working on another new script with Nasser Entertainment. Throwing ideas back and forth but it seems like the outline is about 80% ready to go.
I recently signed an agreement with Saddleback Press to write some very low level books for them. I turned in my first one and I am waiting on the rewrite notes. This agreement calls for me to write 6 books for them between now and March. Very excited about this and a bunch of other things I have going on with them.
The final rewrite for FALLING APART is about done. It will be complete by about the middle of this month and then it's time to make it available.
The animating of INSECT will end this month. I have about 13 more pages left to go. This isn't a lot, however these scenes are probably the most intricate and important in the script. It is the final denouement and it needs to end BIG! The above picture shows the two brothers in story as they get ready to enter their parents bedroom and face a giant insect.
DV and DV2 will be coming out shortly. I should know in the next couple of weeks how Cinema Epoch plans to do this.
I have outlined out a new micro budget feature that I want to shoot before the end of the year. It shouldn't take more than 2 days. My plan is to have it be about the Kennedy Assassination.
Best,
Evan Jacobs

FALLING APART is basically done. I have two more rewrites to put it through and then I am going to make it available. I basically write a script and then I rewrite it three more times after that. Not sure if that is enough but one shouldn't labor on a script too long. That's my opinion anyway.
It looks like I am going to do a new micro-budget movie with the Nassers. It also looks like DISTANT SHORE is going to shoot some time in 2014. On top of that, we're trying to get another screenplay going.Saddleback Press are getting everything organized for the release of my second book with them. It is titled SELF.DESTRUCTED. It is about a guy whose obsessive nature forces him to do something that changes his life forever. I am also going to be writing some more books for them! Lastly, my book SCREAMING QUIETLY won an award at the 2013 Moonbeam Children's Book Awards. I posted the cover with the medal above. This is how future versions of the book will be printed. I have been writing since I was 8 so this is a very big honor for me.
There are about 18 more pages to draw for INSECT. With the Thanksgiving holiday coming up, it is my sincere hope to have it finished by the end of this month!
Still planning on shooting another quick, horror movie before the end of the year! I should also have more information about the releases of DV and DV2 next month as well!
See you next month,
Evan Jacobs

In The Writer's Corner …
My new screenplay FALLING APART is going well. It should actually be done by the end of this month. It is a contained horror film set around the leak of a government created gas. After this I will be starting another screenplay which is titled BODIE. It is a fictional story set around the California ghost town.
I had a meeting with Saddleback Press this month. It was part meeting, part book signing and all geared toward the future which has me writing more books for them. I am truly honored to be working with this company. They have given me many opportunities and it is great to think that more are on the docket for the future.
There are 22 more pages to draw and the animation portion of INSECT will be finished. Then it will be edited with the plan to complete it at the end of this year and then release it in 2014. You can follow the movie in a more in-depth way here.
DV2 is complete!! In fact, I just sent off the screener to Cinema Epoch. This film is a bit inspired by the claustrophobic look and feel of THE HUMAN CENTIPEDE 2. I have even outlined DV3 which is going to be like ROSEMARY'S BABY. At that point the trilogy will be complete. Maybe.
I am also planning on shooting another quickie horror movie at some point in the next few months. It will be set around Halloween.
Alright … see you next month!

I am working on a new screenplay called FALLING APART. Basically, it is a contained horror film set around the leak of a government created gas. I wrote it longhand awhile ago. Over time, I typed it up. I am now getting around to rewriting it. It will be done next month.
I recently turned in an outline for a new book to SaddleBack Press. The title currently is SENIOR YEAR OVER. I also did a rewrite for them of my next book SELF. DESTRUCTED. (Originally, it was titled AS IF IT WERE NEVER DONE).
I am about to start up working on INSECT again. I have drawn 70 pages and my plan is to have it all drawn by Thanksgiving (if not sooner!). After that I plan on editing it and completing it in January 2014. You can follow the movie in a more in-depth way here.
I shot DV2 for Cinema Epoch last month. I literally just finished editing it. I am sending it off to them and it looks that movie and the original DV will be coming out in either October or November.
Again, I am sorry this is late!
See you again in a few weeks!

Hello!
August is here. This is the month of my birth. I turn 40 on August 13. It is amazing to think that I am 40. I look back on things like the 1980s and it doesn't seem like it was that long ago. The youth I speak with today look at the 1980s the way I looked at the 1950s. I guess it makes sense. With any luck I will double this birthday and get some more years after that. In some ways I feel I have accomplished some modest things, in other ways I feel like I am just getting started.

Still working on a new outline for Nasser Entertainment. We have a solid idea it's just the fleshing out of that idea that is proving problematic. I am about to start scripting another micro-budget film that I will be directing for them.
My writing of SCREAMING QUIETLY has led me to write a guest post for the website SpecialNeedsBookReview.com. The book is out and you can order it here.
INSECT is at 50 pages. Above is a new still from the movie! The main character Reggie (Nik Hill) is sleeping in his brother Don's (Isaac Golub) bedroom. By the middle of this month INSECT will be at 70. At that point my foot will come off the gas a little bit for this project. I will still work on it everyday, I will just be taking my time as I animate the last 24 pages. I should have those done by Thanksgiving but it might be sooner. This would mean that the editing would start sooner and it will be out earlier in 2014.
I am shooting DV2 this month for CINEMA EPOCH as they have expressed an interest in distributing the sequel. I am also going to put a quick rewrite on a sci-fi script called DOPPLEGANGER that I hope to direct for them.
Please visit the publishing arm of ANHEDENIA FILMS. It is called called RONNI'S BOOKS. I am about done with our next book titled "ATTACK OF THE DRONE." It will be out in October.
See you next time,

I am currently working on a new outline for Nasser Entertainment. Also, trying to get a new micro budget feature together with them. I should have both of these ideas worked out by the end of this month.
SCREAMING QUIETLY comes out this month. You can order it here or from the publisher, Saddleback Press. I turned in a new book to them last month titled, AS IF IT WERE NEVER DONE. Waiting to here back on that regarding the rewrites.
I finished and turned in my adaption of the book Dragonman. I got my notes and I am about to start the second rewrite.
INSECT has 30 pages currently drawn. It is my goal to have 70 pages drawn by the end of August.
Once that happens, I plan to start writing a lot more scripts. My goal is to write one every 2 months. I have written scripts in a week's time so 2 months for a script (including a rewrite or 3!) isn't out of the realm of possibility.
I might be doing a science fiction film for CINEMA EPOCH. By that I mean, writing and directing it. I am currently seeing if one of my earlier scripts, titled DOPPLEGANGER, can be adapted into a very contained, minimalistic film.
Please visit the publishing arm of ANHEDENIA FILMS. It is called called RONNI'S BOOKS. I am about 10,000 words into our next book titled "ATTACK OF THE DRONE." It will be out in October.

It looks like I might be directing another micro-budget film for Nasser Entertainment. We are still working out the storyline but things are looking good.
Above are the copies of SCREAMING QUIETLY that Saddleback Press sent me. You can pre-order that book here. I am almost done with the first draft of my next book for them. It is titled AS IF IT WERE NEVER DONE. It is going great.
I recently completed another book. It is titled DOWN FOR HIS CRIMES. It is available from Amazon. You can order it here.
The LADY AND THE CHAMP rewrite has been put on hold as I adapt the book DRAGONMAN. The adaptation is going great and I should be done with it by the end of this month. Then I will finish LADY AND THE CHAMP and take it to prospective producers.
It is my goal to get INSECT drawn by the end of August. I am about 20 pages into to animating it. Once I get going I am sure it will get done quickly.
I am about to turn in the deliverables for the DV release. It will contain my film WATCHING A MOVIE as a bonus features. Both of these films will be available in 3D! They will even come with blue and red glasses to watch them in.

Recently turned in a new script to Nasser Entertainment. They have a really strong track record of getting things made. Here's hoping that this script falls in line with that! If not… I am sure that we will do another one that does.
I got the agreement for the book I was asked to adapt. I asked for some minor changes. In lieu of getting those changes, I outlined the book so that once the agreement comes back to me I can get started on the script.
Saddleback Press recently informed me that SCREAMING QUIETLY is going to be in all Barnes & Noble stores! For somebody who has been writing since he was 8, I am greatly humbled by this. I have begun work on another book for Saddleback that is currently titled AS IF IT WAS NEVER DONE.
I am doing a lot better on the LADY AND THE CHAMP rewrite. It is coming together. By this time next month it should be 80% done.
Above is another image from INSECT. I am chugging along on this project. You can see one-angle of one of the scenes here. This scene will obviously be re-edited for the movie with close-ups, back and forth shots and other coverage.
My young adult fiction book DOWN FOR HIS CRIMES is basically done. It will be out later this month it seems! Then it is on to AS IF IT WERE NEVER DONE as well as a bunch of other books. There is also going to be a Ronni's Books blogspot site very soon.
The DV release is slowly chugging along. Hopefully, I will have more to write this about next month.

In The Writer's Corner…
At present I am about 40 something pages into a new script for Nasser Entertainment. It is a bit different than anything I have written. I am looking forward to seeing what happens with it.
I was recently asked to adapt a book into a screenplay. Basically, I met a producer in a bar in Las Vegas. He and I got to talking and I told him I am would love to write something for him. He contacted me recently about a book his friend wrote. I read the book and now I am just waiting for an agreement so I can get started on the adaptation.
I am currently finishing up a new outline for Saddleback Press. It is for a book tentatively titled, AS IF IT WERE NEVER DONE. Once this outline is approved the writing will commence. Above is the cover for the first book I did for them. It is titled SCREAMING QUIETLY. Click the images to order!
Sadly, I have had to slow up on the LADY AND THE CHAMP rewrite because I have other projects that have to take precedence.
I have basically animated the first ten pages of INSECT. I am presently on Spring Break and I hope to get another 5 more drawn. We will see… I am really going to work hard to finish the animation portion of the movie by the end of Summer.
My book DOWN FOR HIS CRIMES which will now, most likely, be titled SEEKER, is done and I am about to start rewriting it. I did a version of the cover but due to a technical glitch I need to redo it. With the outline for AS IF IT WAS NEVER DONE almost completed, I am on pace to meet (and maybe exceed) my self-imposed 4 books a year delivery schedule for Ronni's Books. Eventually, it will be 8 books a year… and hopefully 12 at some point.
DV looks like it will be getting a self-release sometime in the next 2 months. You can find out more about it here.

Currently working on a new outline for another project with Nasser Entertainment. I am grateful that they are always giving me opportunities.
I turned in the rewrite of the SHADOW screenplay. It was very well received. Now it is just a matter of casting the movie and shooting the extra scenes that need to be shot. I am very excited about this.
SCREAMING QUIETLY is done as far as I can tell. I will be posting the cover for it next month. They were also very receptive to my outline for another book! So… it looks like we'll be doing another one together.
The LADY AND THE CHAMP rewrite is moving along solidly. My plan is still to have it done in the next 2 months.
I am really going to ramp up my work on INSECT. My plan now is to have a rough cut of it done by August. Should that prove to be too hard, I at least want to have it animated (and editing started) by then.
My first book, DOWN FOR HIS CRIMES, under my self imposed "4 books a year" doctrine is about half way done. I am going to start working on the cover and it should be out in the next couple of months. Then it is on to the next one.
DV is done. I am currently showing it to distributors. You can find out more about it here.
See you next month,

Again… this is late!!
Try as I might the new months keep starting and I keep forgetting to post the news. I am going to do my best to shake this habit.
Above is an image of all my films that are available from Amazon Instant Video. You can watch them on your TV, your iPad, iPhone, iPod, Kindle and a bunch of other mobile devices. It really is incredible to me how easily available these movies are on such major formats. When I first got started making these movies this wasn't the case.

I hit a career milestone. Here is my first mention in THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER:
http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/heat-vision/randy-couture-scott-adkins-starring-418016
I believe DISTANT SHORE shoots in March.
I am currently shooting ideas back and forth with the development folks at NASSER ENTERTAINMENT we are looking to get another film going.
I am also rewriting the SHADOW script for them. There are plans afoot to reshoot and add some stuff. I have never made a movie at this level so it is interesting how the process works.
I am about to turn in the 5th draft of my young adult fiction book SCREAMING QUIETLY to Saddleback Press. I am also outlining a new book for them as well.
Still rewriting LADY AND THE CHAMP. It is slow in the going but it should be completed within the next 2 months.
INSECT is also moving along but at a snail's pace. I should have the first 10 pages (of the 94 page script) drawn soon. Eventually, my work rate on this project will get more intense and that is when it will be completed.
Outlined a new book titled DOWN FOR HIS CRIMES that I plan to write. It is the first of many books that will be 25,000 words, written quickly, and released in hardcopy and the digital form from my imprint RONNI'S BOOKS. My plan is to do 4 books a year.
The quickie horror film I made, DV, will be finished with editing by the end of this month. It will now be available on DVD and VOD by the end of March. For more information on it please visit:

See you next month!

Once again this is late!
I am sorry. This is a weird time and I would be lying if I said that it wasn't. Basically, I am trying to clean out my house, decide if I am going to stay here or downsize to a condo, write scripts, books, make an animated movie and make quick live action movies.
To quote Roger Corman, "I am on overload."
However… nothing lasts forever and I will eventually sort through all this. As long as I keep working on my projects that will keep me centered and sane.

Saddleback
Press has given me the rewrite notes for THE NORMAL BROTHER. All very positive and with mild changes. I have made them and I am about to turn in my second draft. Also, the title has changed. The book will now be called SCREAMING QUIETLY.
The first draft of my new boxing screenplay LADY AND THE CHAMP is done! I am currently rewriting it and it should be ready to show in about two months.
Sadly, INSECT
is still slow in the going. I have only animated about 6 pages so far. The
screenplay is 94. I was hoping to use a lot of my recent vacation time to get further along, but it just wasn't possible. I didn't want to drive myself crazy trying to get it done so I didn't work on it as much as I should've. INSECT is becoming more of a priority and I am fairly certain I will start making more headway with it. (Above is a recent image from INSECT.)
I am about done rewriting my
shlock-type screenplay titled FALLING APART.
Once that is done I plan to go into overdrive with my book writing. I am currently working on a
young adult fiction/horror book titled WARREN. It is
based on a screenplay I have written. After that, I have literally 8-10 books (many of them are part of a series based on my AWESOME MONSTER BASHERS screenplay) that I plan to write. And, there's more to come after that! These
books will be available in hardcopy as well as eBook form.
Lastly,
I shot a quick, microbudget, 2 day film titled D/V. I plan to edit it this month and make it available on DVD and Video On Demand in February.
2013 is going to be a busy and productive year!
See you next month,
Evan Jacobs
