In The Writers Corner...

After turning in my manuscript for this new series for Saddleback Publishing, it looks like I am going to write two more for them. I am honored and humbled that they have asked me to do this!!! These stories are so cool and so much fun to write. They are a great, GREAT company.

Also, finishing up a script for Nasser Entertainment. Let's see what happens...

The SUNDAY FUNDAY script is almost done. I have another rewrite to put on it, then a final read and this tale of insane juggalos attacking happy park goers should be complete.

You can watch WATER DAMAGE online or order the DVD here! This tale of one night in the life of a man suffering from OCD has already seen some interest on AMAZON! Nothing incredible but not bad for a film with NO money behind it.

COOL SUMMER has gone through its final rewrite and is now being story boarded. I hope to cast and record the voices this summer.

The editing on TIM COHEN’S AWESOME ADVENTURES IN CARDBOARD BOX TIME TRAVEL goes well. The only issue is pacing. I want the movie to play quicker yet it was shot as a series of long scenes. I might have to cut these scenes up (or down) to speed up the pace.

Still waiting to hear back from a company that is interested in distroing INSECT. It might be on cable TV in a shorter form, then available on AMAZON in its full length form. Either way it is coming out because...

As you can see above, I have started ANHEDENIA FILMS TV! This is going to be a place that (for now) I plan to fill with animated content. Right now you can watch my first animated film 1985-1986 in 12 parts. You can also watch the spinoff show, THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE. Next up will be 5 more episodes of THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE that will be 5-6 minutes a piece. I have plans for more seasons after that and more shows. I realize I should have done this years ago but there's no time like the present! Please visit the page, please subscribe and share with your friends.

Thank you,

In the Writer’s Corner…

Finishing a book for a new series Saddleback Publishing wants to start! This is a really cool story and my first one written from the perspective of a girl.

The SUNDAY FUNDAY rewrite is going well. I am making it a bit more dramatic by showing some flashback scenes. In the script a father and son find themselves in a park that is attacked by deranged juggalos. They father and son are estranged and these new scenes show why that is so. It should be done by the middle of June.

WATER DAMAGE is done! You watch it online here. The DVD should be available soon. I have finally figured out how to do my own artwork. This means I can make and release movies even quicker! Not sure if that is good or bad…

Starting back up work on my animated film COOL SUMMER. This film sees three boys in the 1980s (Erol, Gerry and Bryan from my first animated film 1985-1986) befriend a person who may or may not be a serial killer.

I have also started editing my most recent quickie film, TIM COHEN’S AWESOME ADVENTURES IN CARDBOARD BOX TIME TRAVEL. I guess the title says it all…

INSECT looks like it might have found distribution. On Pay TV no less. More on this next month.

Best,
Evan Jacobs

Hello,

They say March is the month of change and that has truly proven to be the case! Also, I am sorry for not doing the news sooner this month. By the time I realized I hadn’t done it the month was half over...

In the Writer’s Corner…

I have been working on a script for a producer that I think is getting made. Then again, the whole thing might fall apart. I should have more to report at this time next month. I might even be writing another script for them.

I am finishing up FATHERSONFATHER for Saddleback Publishing! I also should be getting the VARSITY170 books (the third I have written for them) soon. And… it looks like I will be writing another book for them! They are a truly great outfit to write for. Viva Saddleback!!

Rewriting the first draft of SUNDAY FUNDAY. The first draft came up kinda light on the page count. I am rectifying that with this rewrite. I should have it completed in 2-3 more drafts.

WATER DAMAGE is just about done! Here is a logline about it’s plot:

After suffering a nervous breakdown due to OCD a man finds himself facing his old issues shortly after becoming “well.”

Now it is time to start back working on COOL SUMMER. My plan is to try and elongate the screenplay in someway. Then I will storyboard the script, cast the voice roles, record the voices and start the long slog of animating.

I am also making a quickie time travel film dealing with the assassination of JFK. More on that next month but this film will be a comedy.

Still sending out INSECT to distributors!

Once again, you can order THE BRO DOWN here.
 
See you next month,

In the Writer’s Corner…

I am currently working on, in a cursory way, a script for a producer. We are sort of playing around with an outline. Ultimately, time will tell if this thing becomes a more involved project.

I am about to start my new book FATHERSONFATHER for Saddleback Publishing! I am really excited about this. It is about a boy in high school providing end of life care for his dad and the relationship he develops with his caregiver.

SUNDAY FUNDAY is going well. It is about a father and son spending an afternoon in the park when it is suddenly overrun with killer Juggalos. I might even have a first draft of it by the end of the month!

WATER DAMAGE is almost rough edited. It will be done by the end of the of the month. My plan is to either release it shortly after that or see about bigger distribution. It is actually turning into a pretty cool micro film. Once this is done it is back to work on COOL SUMMER! I would like to be animating it before summer.

Still sending INSECT out to distributors! I think it is getting close to landing one.

Once again, you can order THE BRO DOWN here.

In the Writer’s Corner…

There is a possibility of a couple of scripts I worked on getting made this year. We will have to see and once I know more you will know more as well.

I am starting with on CLAN CASTLES 2, the sequel to CLAN CASTLES as well as another book for Saddleback Publishing. We are talking about doing a series together after this!

DISTRICT BALL is done and I am currently in the process of submitting it to prospective producers. This semi-autogiographical tale of my one year playing freshmen basketball turned into one of the best scripts I have ever written. Rare is the circumstance that something you have in your head comes out the same way on the page but this one did.

I have started work on another screenplay called SUNDAY FUNDAY. It is about a father and son spending an afternoon in the park when it is suddenly overrun with killer Juggalos. Lets see where this one goes!

The COOL SUMMER script is done. I am going to start storyboarding it in February. Presently, I am editing another micro-budget film called WATER DAMAGE. It is about a man who believes his apartment is attacking him. It should be done and sent to some distributors by the end of the month. Many thanks to Brian Balchack for making the promo image above.

INSECT is still being sent out to distributors. Should it not find one after I contact this next batch, I will be releasing it some time in 2015.

Lastly, you can order THE BRO DOWN here.
 
Here’s to another great year,

In the Writer’s Corner…

I am currently working on a multitude of projects for Saddleback Publishing. One is a sequel to Clan Castles. The other is a new book for their Gravel Road series. Lastly, I there is a new series we are talking about possibly doing together.

DISTRICT BALL is in its final rewrite stage. This semi-autogiographical tale of my one year playing freshmen basketball is going quite well. I have written it to be a contained family film so hopefully that increases its chances of getting made.

I am still typing up COOL SUMMER. As it stands now, my current goal is to finish this screenplay completely by years end. I had wanted to accomplish more but this is how it goes sometimes. Since my plan is for it to be an animated film, I hope to record all the voices in April and then start animating the film over the summer.

INSECT is still being sent to distributors.

THE BRO DOWN can be ordered here. It should be available for VOD soon as well.

I am planning to shoot another micro-budget film before the 2014 ends. This is a psychological horror film along the lines of Roman Polanski’s Repulsion. It’s current title is WATER DAMAGE.

Happy New Year,

Evan Jacobs

In the Writer’s Corner…

I recently turned in my newest book to Saddleback Publishing. We are going to talk soon about some more books I am going to write for them. In addition to that, I found out what the title of another book I wrote for them is going to be called. Its title is VARSITY170. It is a story about loss set in the world of high school wrestling. I think readers will relate to it a lot.

My newest screenplay DISTRICT BALL is just about done. It is going very well. I think it has a very good chance of getting made. I usually think that… but there’s something about this film that makes me think that even more. It is a kids film with some adult leads. It is an ensemble with a small cast and it is fairly contained. We will see!

COOL SUMMER, my newest animated film about three middle schoolers suddenly plunged into the world of a man who may or may not be a serial killer, is done. I wrote it longhand and I am currently typing it up. I hope to have it done soon. I’d even like to record the voices before years end.

INSECT continues to be sent off to distributors. Ideas for INSECT 2 continue to percolate. I am also preparing my micro-budget film THE BRO DOWN for distribution as well.

Lastly, the picture above is the artwork for THE DV TRILOGY. You can order it HERE. I am very excited to see how this no budget trilogy plays. I am currently talking with the distributor about a fourth film that will be completely different from the first three.

Thank you for your time and see you next month!
