Well… 2017 is off to a fast start!

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...

Currently figuring out the overall arc of this new series for Saddleback Publishing. In addition to that, I am doing research for these new books I am going to be writing for them. They are all young adult fiction but I want to make them as “real” as I can.

NIGHT HIKE is being rewritten. In fact, to aide me in this process I am reading the script for ALIEN. I want NIGHT HIKE to be really contained and ALIEN is about as contained as it gets.

I’ve started a new 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. My plan (in addition to the main scripts I always work on) is to write other scripts longhand (1 page daily), so I can keep new scripts constantly generating.

Sending CINEMA EPOCH two more films for them to release. I think they are releasing 20 or so of my films. They have some interesting ideas and I am really excited to see them happen. Above is the image for the DV release on VUDU!

One of those films is now called THE RECKONING. It is a prequel to my film THE FORMING. It will be finished and available on DVD shortly. Then I start work on my newest animated film COOL SUMMER. However, I plan to make one of my “qwik” films every year until it is finished being animated.

See you next month!

Best,

The writing of my new series for Saddleback Publishing is going great. I always get nervous that I might run out of ideas but, somehow, someway they always seem to come. I honestly feel very lucky and fortunate that this is the case. Also, recently signed another contract to write 4 more books for Saddleback. I am truly humbled by all the faith they put in me. I just need to to keep writing, working and trying to come up with new stories to tell.

I almost have the first draft of NIGHT HIKE done. This one is being written in a very contained way. It is the story of a comet hitting earth and the effect that it has on a family who run a nearby lodge. At present, I just need to add about 3-4 more action sequences.

I recently found out that Cinema Epoch licensed the DV Trilogy and some of my other films to Vudu! I am so excited about this. Since I started making movies in 1995, all I have ever wanted is for my films to be able to be seen by the widest possible audience. And on that note, you can watch my film SALVO 1 here.

TIM COHEN 2, the sequel to TIM COHEN’S AMAZING ADVENTURES IN CARDBOARD BOX TIME TRAVEL is available HERE.

THE DEATH OF BILLIE BROWN - A FORMING MOVIE should be done by the end of this month. This film is a prequel to my film THE FORMING. It explains how the character in the first film came to dwell in the house that “forms” him.

As I said above, this year is starting off in a very interesting way. However, to paraphrase Ian MacKaye, you can’t stop progression. This gives me hopes for the future. Click HERE to listen to the interview.

I’ve started a new series of books for Saddleback Publishing! It is filled with sci-fi and scary tales and I just LOVE writing it. Also, it looks like they are going to have me write some other books as well. I am beyond lucky and grateful to them!

The script for NIGHT HIKE is going great. I am also going to be starting another script as well. It is my goal to write 2-4 scripts this year.

You can watch my new film SALVO 1 here. You can also order it on DVD here. I recently sent a harddrive filled with my movies to CINEMA EPOCH. They are going to be releasing a bunch of them in a very interesting way in 2017, I believe.
 
You can also order INSECT here. You can find out more about the film here. Also, it looks like TIM COHEN 2, the sequel to TIM COHEN'S AMAZING ADVENTURES IN CARDBOARD BOX TIME TRAVEL will be out in a few weeks.

Currently editing a prequel to my film THE FORMING. It is currently called THE DEATH OF BILLIE BROWN - A FORMING MOVIE. However, that title might change.

I am excited about 2017. I thank you to everyone who comes to this page and cares about Anhedenia Films. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.

Best,

In the Writer's Corner...

I am about done with a new Gravel Road book for Saddleback Publishing that I am very excited about. I will talk more about it once it is closer to being released. Also, finishing up one series with for Saddleback and I’m about to start another one. I couldn’t be more excited about starting off the year with these new projects.

I finished my adaptation of YESTERDAY’S DREAMS for my friend Kevin Foster. Here’s hoping Kevin can mount another production of it! Now, it is on to the NIGHT HIKE script and many more!

You can watch my new film SALVO 1 here. You can also order it on DVD here. I recently sent a harddrive filled with my movies to CINEMA EPOCH. They are going to be releasing a bunch of them in a very interesting way in 2017, I believe.

INSECT is done. You can see the cover above and it will be available on DVD soon. It will also be available to download (in some way) in 2017.

Well, 2016 is in the books. In some ways this year has been a HUGE downer, and in others its been the best year of my life. Every time I write this particular post, I get nervous as I wonder what the next year has in store. Then, I realize that G-d has a plan and I just need to do everything I can to be the best person I can be. As long as I do that, everything will fine.

L’Chaim,

Recently signed 2 contracts with Saddleback Publishing for a new series as well as a new book in their Gravel Road series. To say that I am excited would be an understatement. I just want to make these projects the best that they can be.

THE DEAD DON’T DIE, a book I co-wrote with Kevin Lindenmuth, is now available. You can order it HERE. This is a very unique zombie story that I hope a lot of people find it interesting.
 
About halfway through the script adaptation of this film for my friend Kevin Foster. I am thinking it will be pretty much done by early December. I am looking forward to writing a lot more scripts. In recent years I've been writing 1-2 a year. I'd like that number to be 3-4.

The Man in the Trees has undergone a name change. It is now called SALVO1. It is about done and should be up on Amazon on DVD and YouTube as a free download soon. Next up is an interesting project with Cinema Epoch which will showcase a bunch of my films. Then I plan to finally get INSECT on DVD via Amazon as well as on YouTube. Then it's on to editing TIM COHEN'S AMAZING ADVENTURES IN TIME TRAVEL 2, THE DEATH OF BILLIE BROWN: A FORMING MOVIE and FILMMAKING 101.

Thank you for visiting!

Doing a lot of writing for Saddleback Publishing and if I am lucky I will be doing even more. I recently turned in some new outlines that I hope to hear back on shortly. They are a great, great company to write for. 

THE DEAD DON’T DIE, a book I co-wrote with Kevin Lindenmuth, is now available. You can order it HERE. This is a very unique zombie story that I hope a lot of people find it interesting.
 
Speaking of Saddleback… you can order THE UNDERDOGS, GRAND SLAM and EMOJI OF DOOM now!

The script adaptation I am doing for a friend is going kind of slow but it should be moving much quicker by the end of the month.

You can order FLEAS here.

Lastly, I am a little less than halfway done with the editing of THE MAN IN THE TREES. Once that is done, I need to edit TIM COHEN’S AMAZING ADVENTURES IN CARDBOARD BOX TIME TRAVEL 2, THE DEATH OF BILLIE BROWN and FILMMAKING 101. Then the main film I will be working on will be COOL SUMMER.

See you next month,

In The Writer’s Corner…   

I am starting the seventh book in in a series I am writing for Saddleback Publishing. In addition to that I am going to be starting a new book for a brand new series they are starting. They are the best! The faith they put in me is incredible. 

In The Writer’s Corner…

THE DEAD DON’T DIE, a book I co-wrote with Kevin Lindenmuth, is now available. You can order it HERE. This is a very unique zombie story that I hope a lot of people find it interesting.

I believe CLAN CASTLES: 2 is out as well. Click HERE to check that out. Saddleback has done an incredible job with this sequel.   

Currently, helping a friend with an adaptation. He actually made the film first, then turned it into a book which is what I am adapting. More on this as I proceed with it…

FLEAS is done and will be available on DVD later this month!

I have drawn 10 pages of my next animated movie COOL SUMMER. I am currently putting it on hold as I edit THE MAN IN THE TREES, TIM COHEN 2, THE DEATH OF BILLIE BROWN: A FORMING MOVIE (not the sequel to THE FORMING) and FILMMAKING 101 (which I shot last month). Once these are complete, COOL SUMMER will resume and I will only make one quick movie a year until COOL SUMMER is done being animated.

Thank you for the visit,

Evan Jacobs
