QUESTION FROM A FAN:
“How far in advance to you plan your movies?”
Plans are always changing depending on the availability of key volunteers, but generally speaking, HP usually knows what the “next” movie will be after the current project. So, the short answer to that question would be: “a year-two years”. We currently have plans through the end of 2016 with a very small project penciled in for 2017. However, those plans are always subject to change.

A lot! We are helping out Seidule Films with COVER ME, later this year we will produce the short DAY OF THE HEDGES (which will debut at our 15th anniversary gala in October), we are getting the NICHOLAS ACT I screenplay ready to be printed, we will be shooting a “book trailer” for NICHOLAS ACT I, and we are also prepping for a big feature film of our own in 2016.
