The Giant of Killarney!

Studios are bleeding a lot of money and have content they can't get out to the theaters. In some cases they are able to recoup or minimize losses through VOD or streaming. The problem is, what do they do when they run out of their backlog of content? They can't create new content due to the restrictions put in place because of the pandemic. Without new content their sources of revenue will shrivel up and die.

The good news is you're going to see A LOT of animated projects coming out soon. Animation is the work-around for the virus. It's the one way studios can keep creating content while still observing social distancing rules.

With that in mind, here's a fresh IP ripe and ready to be developed as an animated feature: The Giant of Killarney. It's a fun, exciting, family friendly property with lots of licensing potential.

Bone Hill

 

Soon TV networks, cable channels, and streaming services will run out of their backlog of new content. With Hollywood, New York City, and other large production hubs currently hindered by COVID restrictions, the release of additional new content will be a long way off.

This is the time to invest in indie studios and productions. With non-union crews, flexibility in shooting locations, and less oversight from big studio bureaucracy, indie film producers can get content into the marketplace quickly.

I currently have several properties that could be developed into independently produced TV series or films.

Bone Hill was originally optioned in 2004 by Platinum Studios. The rights reverted to me in 2011. In 2015 I partnered with Soundstage 1 Productions and Friel Films to independently produce the film. We have a great deal of the groundwork finished, including a completed screenplay, registering with the WGA, forming an LLC, and scouting locations.

This is an exciting opportunity to get in on the ground floor of an impending indie boom. Please email me wil@nogglestones.com if you are interested in learning more about Bone Hill and my other properties.

The Lost Poems of Twistroot

Whence Went My Foot

At the Festival of Whittlegrip

A time of good cheer and fine drink

I had just taken a little sip

Of something like cider, I think

When my eyes were pulled, tugged away

Forcing my gaze to another spot

Where I stared in deepest amaze

At a maiden from Heaven wrought

My breath stalled, my heart quickened

As mine eyes drank in her perfection

Knobby knees and palms slickened

I stumbled dumb in her direction

She looked on me with kindest laugh

Her lips a curtain for starlight teeth

And on her crown in divine path

Were flowers and boughs twined in a wreathe

Here I knew was my destiny

To charm, disarm, and woo her

If only my foot heard the rest of me

Instead of trodding in manure
