"Days of Joy! with Gene Moonfeather" the production blog

All the kids are doing it and being that I am part lemming decided "what the hay?" I'll whip up a lil production blog for the masses (all five of you).

This is the production blog for the web series I have been working on for the past 7 months called "Days of Joy! with Gene Moonfeather."  

Here's our logline: A yoga teacher with a repressed rage issue

Here's our website: www.GeneMoonfeather.com

Here's our budget: ***see Chris' Visa bills and collection notices

We are actually two thirds through shooting season one of the show and all things considered, it has been a great experience.  At times grueling, but a true learning experience and, I think, something special.

"Why a web series?" you may ask.  Well, everybody and their grandma is picking up the old Super Eight and recording squirrels humping cats, looping it and calling it a series.  So, I figured, why not make my own series?  Being that I know more actors than cats and squirrels, I resorted to a narrative driven, comedic model.

Truth be told, I think we are at a crossroads with new media and despite the confluence of crap on YouTube, Blip, Veoh, etc, there is some good stuff and talented people putting that stuff together.   Unfortunately, rising above the din ain't the easiest thing to do and we all want to rise above that gosh darn din.   Hopefully, there will be some standard of excellence applied to web video at some point, and viewers won't have to sift and search.  I mean, the porn channels do it.  At least, that's what my, uh, cousin told me.   

More to come...details about on set exploits....show release dates...screenings...how to win the bendable Gene Moonfeather action figure, with interchangeable headbands, etc.  Until then.
