The Echo Game, our first independent feature, has reached picture lock.  We’re in the home stretch of finishing the movie now!  In the meantime, we thought you might take a look at what we’ve been up to, so here’s the trailer in all its glory!

Hey y’all! This is coming a bit late, but we just wrapped production on the first web series of our new creative division here at Psychic Bunny. (Look for a formal announcement of that soon.) The series was completely written, developed, and produced in-house, and it’s going to be pretty damn good.

Rob Delaney, everybody.

Coma, Period. Dan Humford had a crash. He’s in a coma, and the entire series takes place inside his head. I don’t want to say too much now, but it’s going to be pretty hilarious. We’ve got a magician, psychosexual fantasies, doors to nowhere, doors to everywhere, and a fetus.

I was thinking of going. Anybody know anyone that lives in Cleveland?

Also, The Egg just got invited to the NexT Short Film Festival in Romania, as part of the Worldwide Shorts Film Festival retrospective. No details yet on screening times, but the festival is April 1-5th.

Coming soon - a web show so lengthy you're guaranteed to never watch it!

I’ve been working with a buddy of mine for a little while now, helping him produce his web series.  Recently, we finished the first episode of the show, which is some of the best writing and best filmmaking of anything I’ve seen for the web (a land where the bar of quality has typically been appallingly low).  Unfortunately, that first episode is also 12 minutes long.  And you know how hard-headed these directors can be about things like that!  Try as I might, I’ve been unable to convince him to cut it any shorter.

Of course, there’s something to the 12-minute version.  There’s a little magic to it.  A little something that’s lost when you start trimming it back to the essentials.  The critical question becomes: does it have to be shorter?

Flower Ad

Valentine’s Day is on a Saturday this year. Which means if you don’t have reservations yet, you’re probably screwed. And even if you do, you’re out with every other gross couple or sad single making the best of one of our more emotionally-unstable holidays. And that’s cool, and it’s gonna happen, but let me take a moment and offer you an alternative.

You and that special someone could curl up on the couch and spend two hours rolling in green meadows with flower petals softly drifting in the breeze. You could just spend that time bringing beauty somewhere. Because that’s flower, the new downloadable PS3 game from our good friends at thatgamecompany.

Hey everyone, tomorrow is our first day of shooting on our very first self-funded web comedy series, so wish us luck!  More on that later.

Now, though, we bring you this important and unrelated message from our star, Rob Delaney.

Hey! I was interviewed by Studio Daily last week. Click through to read about more about what we’re working on now, some projects from 2008, and you know, stuff we like. Here’s the first question for FREEEEEEE! The next four questions are also free. You can read them here.

5 Questions, and roughly as many Answers.

I ended up asking Studio Daily five questions too, but they answered nary a one!

Have you ever wished that there was a comprehensive catalog of every narrative device, every character cliché, every worn-over bit of comic relief?  Have you ever wondered how the hero can grab a gun from mid-air and then fire it accurately from the back of a motorcycle doing a wheelie? Well, quest no more, friends, because an army of obsessive fans and writers alike have been hard at work compiling doctorate-level material on every possible storytelling device, all meticulously exemplified and endlessly cross-referenced.

Be warned: click any of the above links and you will likely be sucked into a wiki vortex of obsessive reading that derail all your other life ambitions and doom you to an existence where failure is the only optionTVtropes.org, I wish you had never been born.
