In The Writer’s Corner…

Finishing up a series for Saddleback Publishing. Starting more books for them AND I am preparing more pitches for them for future books and series! They are amazing.

I might be writing some screenplays for Cinema Epoch. I sent over some loglines based on what they told their needs were. We will see!

The NIGHT HIKE rewrite goes well. I am currently fleshing out the script and some of the characters. I am also trying to keep it as contained as possible as it takes place primarily on a campsite.

BOOM! has taken a longer longer than I expected but it will completed and done in a few weeks. Then I start my newest longhand screenplay… ELUL.

DV4: ELECTRIC NIGHTMARES is available here. That title and almost all my other movies will be available digitally in 2018. I am going to be releasing everything to stream or download via ANHEDENIA FILMS ON DEMAND. I already have 5 more films shot that need to edited! I am very excited about this because I can’t wait for the library to be available.

I shot a movie on Saturday, September 23, 2017. There had been “internet” reports that the world was going to end on this day. So I made a film called DOOMSDAY while I was driving up to work an MMA event at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. 

COOL SUMMER is being worked on consistently. I should have 20 pages animated very soon!

This has been a very interesting year and I have a feeling that is going to continue into 2018.

L’Chaim!

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,

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,

I am about done with the new book for Saddleback Publishing’s Gravel Road series. Also, the writing for the new series I am working on goes well, too! Also, I have a put a bunch of pitches together that I am about to send over to them. I am very excited to see what happens!

NIGHT HIKE is on hold. I have done this because I am writing a new book and a series for Saddleback AT THE SAME TIME. Okay, admittedly this is a great problem to have. I can’t complain. I love having more work than less. NIGHT HIKE will resume in July.

BOOM! The new longhand screenplay I am writing is at about 30 pages. My plan is to write this as a big, 1980s terrorist thriller and then rewrite it as very contained terrorist thriller. Basically, I am going to go big and then scale things down considerably so it is a low-budget action/thriller.

It looks like the screenplay I turned in to CINEMA EPOCH will become a movie. It just needs a rewrite or two. It looks like I will just write and star in this film and somebody else will direct. More on this as it unfolds.

Well, DV4: ELECTRIC NIGHTMARES was recently made and it takes the series in whole different direction. Also, it looks like the whole DV series is going to be titled BETAMAX. So, in actuality, DV4 is now called BETAMAX 4: ELECTRIC NIGHTMARES. In the first three films the DV camera was the killer. Now, the killer is… a tablet! Also, THE RIVERBED will be made this summer, too! Work on COOL SUMMER will resume once BETAMAX 4 is edited.

So far summer is shaping up to be extremely interesting. A lot of changes happening or on the horizon. We will have to see where all these goes. One thing is a constant, the work will continue to get done!

See you next month,

In the Writer’s Corner…

Writing a new book for Saddleback Publishing's Gravel Road series. I am also writing a whole other 10 book series for them AND I plan to pitch them a bunch of new stuff next month.

NIGHT HIKE is about halfway rewritten. I am just a bit busy with my other writing duties at present. Sadly, I can’t give it the the TLC that it needs but I am trying. It will get done. It just might take a little longer.

The longhand screenplay that I writing titled BOOM is going well. I work on it a little bit each day. It is a terrorist thriller that speaks to some of the issues millennial's face as they enter the workforce.

I turned in an old screenplay to CINEMA EPOCH in the hopes of it becoming another film for them. I also sent them back a harddrive with 20 or so of my movies on it for them to release. They have some interesting ideas that I think could make the films more marketable.

Planning to make THE RIVERBED my Qwik Anhedenia Film of the summer. I am also about to get back to work on COOL SUMMER.

This summer is shaping up to be busy and interesting and that is just the way I like it.

See you soon,
Evan Jacobs

The new series for Saddleback Publishing goes well. I am about to start a new book for their Gravel Road series. On top of that I am planning to pitch them more projects for the future.

The rewriting of NIGHT HIKE is going well. The trick with this script is to keep it entertaining, fun, campy and contained.

I have started my next longhand screenplay titled BOOM. This is a terrorist thriller that speaks to some of the issues millennial's face as they enter the workforce. It is fairly outrageous but, you never know, that just might be what it takes to get this screenplay made.

Currently working with Cinema Epoch on a very interesting idea. I would say more but it involves an old movie that they own. I should know more about where this is going next month!

THE PARK is done! I am about to send it (and a bunch of my other films) off to Cinema Epoch so they can distribute them. Now, it is back to work on COOL SUMMER. However, before I do that I am planning on changing my work space. I’d like to make it more ergonomic and primarily work standing yup. I am also working on a Qwik Film to shoot this summer called THE RIVERBED. I plan to only make one a year until COOL SUMMER is complete.

Anyway… more on that later. I am just happy that everything is going well. I am meeting my project commitments and I am working on things I love.

See you next time,

In the Writer's Corner...

I am still working on the new series for Saddleback Publishing. I am about 4 books in and it’s going to be 10 in total. It is going really well. It is a mix of sci-fi, horror, urban legends, and a bunch of other fun stuff.

At present I am rewriting NIGHT HIKE. The issue is that the script is about 60 pages. I need to add some scenes and subplots. Then, I need to make it coherent. Sadly, that is usually where my scripts falter.

I have finished a longhand version of a mumblecore-esque script called WHERE THE OTHERS WENT. It is about a bunch of friends that used to play in punk bands, getting together to put on a benefit show for a sick friend. I am going to shelve it now. Then I am going to write another one called BOOM. Eventually, I am going to type one or all of these ups, I just wanted to be generating more scripts.

Up above are the new covers for DV2 and DV3! Cinema Epoch has done a bang up job so far with my stuff. I can’t wait to see what they do with THE FORMING and THE RECKONING.

I am editing this movie called THE PARK. It is essentially CLERKS meets JURASSIC PARK. I might be done with it in the next two weeks. Then it is on to COOL SUMMER until all the animations are drawn. I just need to get an ergonomic desk.

Thank You for the visit,
