The Staged Reading!

Last night we braved the rain, parking lot mishaps, and some lost keys to bring the pilot episode of HEARING VOICES to life via a staged reading.

Thanks very much to our guests and the great troupe of local actors (Bill Sterchi, John Barton, Trine Christensen, Kat Sawyer, Gorneth D'Oyley, Nico Martinez, Irene Estrada, Mark Sivertsen, Chad Brummett, Paul Wagner, Jessi Badami) who made this event a success. Also, special thanks to Halflife Digital for hosting the event.

It was incredibly helpful to hear the pilot script being read by actors -- as well as to receive feedback from the audience. We were able to track what got the most laughs, what people thought of the concept, the tone, and more.

The 48 Hour Film Festival o' Talent

Tonight, Randy and I went to the 48 Hour Film Festival. I was the writer on Fritz Eberle's team. What a blast! Very proud of the film we produced, "Breaking In." Wow...there's a lot of talent in this town! Saw some great performances. And we even bumped into Bill Sterchi, who will be joining us for the reading on Monday. I wanted to schmooze more but...gotta get rid of this cough/cold. Back to bed for now.

Preparing for the Staged Reading

Well, after three months of intensive writing, our team of writers (Shenoah Allen, Brett Heicher, Melody Zagami) and I (creator Randy Nargi) have hammered out the first six episodes of HEARING VOICES.

We're currently casting and prepping for a staged reading of the pilot coming up this Monday. More soon.
