 Hello...
I hope everyone is enjoying the gradual transition into fall. I was able to attend several local film festivals in the past month and even pick up another award in the process. It's nice to be back! Meanwhile, pre-production on Unicorns is moving ahead full steam. More on that next time. Meanwhile, have a Happy Halloween!
