Hello!

My documentary ORANGE COUNTY HARDCORE SCENESTER is available! You can order it here.

Here is a trailer for my documentary ORANGE COUNTY HARDCORE SCENESTER. This film is a unique look at the Orange County, CA punk/hardcore music scene from 1990-1997. You can watch the trailer here.

You can purchase the DVD/Blu-ray of KNOCKOUT. This is the boxing film that I co-wrote and it stars "Stone Cold" Steve Austin. For the best price I would go to BestBuy.com.

Also, you can order ALL of my available films via Amazon.com by clicking here.

Finally, if you like young adult fiction (or know somebody who does), you can check out all of my young adult fiction books here. They are written for people with various levels of reading ability.
  In the Writer’s Corner…

Recently got some covers for some new books from Saddleback Publishing. I should be posting them soon! Also, I am literally turning in new books left and right to them. It is crazy and awesome and I don’t think I’ve ever felt sharper as a writer.

Back on the NIGHT HIKE rewrite! I am working on it daily and it should be done in about 4-6 weeks.

The BOOM! longhand screenplay should be done by the end of this month. The plan is still to make it a contained terrorist thriller.

BETAMAX 4: ELECTRIC NIGHTMARES is about to come to DVD. However, when it does it will come out as DV4: ELECTRIC NIGHTMARES. You can see the cover above and there will be a link available to order it next month. Eventually, it will be available digitally, as should most of my titles, in 2018. On to COOL SUMMER…

Recently had the opportunity to make a post-modern version of WALKING BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS 2. You can order the original version HERE. The new version picks up 22 years later with myself, Popeye (Michael J. Vogelsang) and Chris Lohman. Basically, Popeye is moving away in the movie and Lohman and I try and help him. We talk about our lives and we break down the end of the first WALKING BETWEEN THE RAINDROPS.

Alright, lots of work to be done. Here’s to another month!

Best,

Evan Jacobs

In the Writer’s Corner…

Turned in a new book for Saddleback Publishing’s Gravel Road series. Working on a new book for their White Lightning Series and I am about to start another book in another series. They recently contracted me into mid-2018 to write MORE books! Saddleback Publishing is great and I am honored and humbled at the faith they have in me. I cannot thank them enough!

Currently, I am working on NIGHT HIKE when I can. I want to be writing more scripts. In fact, I am rededicating myself to this form of writing. For awhile, I got very into writing sellable scripts. While this isn’t a bad thing, I think there’s ways to write personal stories and make them sellable. I’ve done this before and I can do it again!

Still writing BOOM! as a longhand screenplay. My plan is still to write this as a big, 1980s terrorist thriller and then rewrite it as very contained terrorist thriller.

I am about 3/4’s of the way done with BETAMAX 4: ELECTRIC NIGHTMARES. This is shaping up to be a very messed up, technologically infused version of TOY STORY. It should be done in a week or so. At that point I will resume COOL SUMMER.

However, I still have to make films. COOL SUMMER is animated. This means it will take a very long time to complete. I don’t mind this but I still want to make films. So… that is why I have made two more films this past July. I made THE RIVERBED which looks at the homeless situation in Orange County, CA. I then made an impromptu film at the Los Angeles Coliseum titled, HOW MANY TIMES CAN I SAY I LOVE YOU? I am just going to stockpile these quickly done films. Then, once COOL SUMMER is done, I am going to edit all those films and probably begin INSECT 2!

Currently, I am on Summer Break and REALLY enjoying it! The changes continue to happen and I just want to keep up with all of them. There are some other projects I am working on a little bit. These are spearheaded by others and I’ve been lucky enough to be asked to join in. More on them as they become more of a reality.

See you next month, 

Evan Jacobs
