I am sorry I have waited so long between entries. The fact of the matter is that we at Ghost Town Productions decided months ago to postpone the making of the third installment in The Blackest Dawn Chronicles, and since then I haven't had a moment to think about BD. This news may come as a surprise (probably not), but we do have some good reasons for our decision.

1) First, our schemes were so grand for the third episode and our story so... perfect, that we felt we would not be able to do it justice at this stage in our careers. I sincerely believe that in fifteen or twenty years, when we are established as successful filmmakers, the time will come for The Blackest Dawn to make a public appearance on the worldwide stage. I truly believe that we are holding onto something special in our story of a zombie killing hero. Yes, there are hundreds if not thousands of "zombie" movies, but has anyone done the perfect "zombie hunter" movie? I don't think so.

2) Second, this was not the movie we needed to make to further our careers. Fun is fun, but we truly want to be taken seriously as skilled filmmakers and sincere artists. We want to focus on making a product that displays our creativity and intelligence as much as our love for a good time.

3) Which leads me to the last reason: we are working on another project. Codenamed "Hermie's Day at the Zoo", our current project is a gritty, street-smart drug-drama about unlikely friends finding commonality in grief. It will have moments of humor and action and intense emotion without gagging the audience on sentimentality. It is set in New Orleans. That is all I can reveal at this time. We have already penned 11 pages of the script, and we feel extremely confident in the story we have created. 

Unfortunately, I do not have time to maintain a blog during the writing process of this project. Maybe during production, I will.


Best Wishes,
