Welcome to the February news for Blackout Productions! Even though it's the start of a new year, it's time of finishing up and finishing off.
We launched the Devon Made Macbeth audio production on YouTube at the end of January as our tip of the hat to the Shakespeare who celebrates his 400th anniversary this year. The Scottish play was fittingly released on Burns Night and we will be following it up with an iBook version so people can read out version of the play as they listen to our talented actors performing the text. You can look out for productions page on that one soon!

Our short film 'Eyes in the Dark' will be shown at the HP Lovecraft Film Festival in Portland, Oregon which is a state in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. It is located on the Pacific coast and is port of departure for mishardy adveturers seeking “The nightmare corpse-city of R'lyeh…was built in measureless eons behind history by the vast, loathsome shapes that seeped down from he dark stars. There lay great Cthulhu and his hordes, hidden in green slimy vaults.” A great place to have a Lovecraft film festival!
And for those reader not on the Facebook page, we talked about laying long term plans. You see we've had ideas for many movies and the good majority will stay just as ideas but each story is great to bring to the surface and play with before it goes back into the creative toy box. Some have been in there since 1999 and others are more recent additions.
These days you need to build an identity for you movie before you've even shot it and mulling around names for this new idea we can up with a title and then visited http://namechk.com/ a rather handy site to check social media identities.
Usually you have to come up with really odd ways of spelling names or adding _ to the name to get the twitter or facebook name you want however tonight we seem to hit the grand slam!! Facebook Twitter and You Tube all had the name we wanted available! So we grabbed accounts for project 'Night in the Cells'.
Now just because a name has be spoken does not mean you should send your suit to the dry cleaners ready for the premier! No no! What this means is that when this idea comes up to the top of the toy box we'll already have some channels on which to promote the project and build a name for it ready for when production starts. Looks like the days are gone when a script was the first thing to consider!!
I think that's about it for now so stay with us and watch our news as it comes on. From little acorns, grow mighty oak trees they say. I'd just be with a nice bonsai I think!
