Lots of balls in the air

Hey all! Hope you're happy and healthy and safe.

I'm hard at work cooking all sorts of fun things up for y'all. Almost done writing a video about the Minutemen (but also encapsulating lots of other stuff) which I plan to publish on April 19th, the 250th anniversary of the start of the Revolutionary War. Turns out I have lots of hometown connections with that history. Sudbury sent more militia to Concord on April 19th than any other town in the county – a few of those minute companies were positively brimming with Goodenows.

(Side story: Recently I was interviewed by the Goodenow Family Association about The Birth of an American Town and The Sudbury Devil for their newsletter. I used very diplomatic language when discussing Matt Van Gessel's character.)

Then, on April 19th as a matter of fact, Karl Kasarda and I are going to meet up and film the followup to our obscenely popular Union firearms video. This one will of course be called "Guns That Killed Redcoats." I will wear a scrupulously accurate impression of an early war New England militiaman and Karl will be wearing a Benjamin Franklin costume I got at a Halloween store.

Frozen '50s Man Ep. 4 continues to draw toward completion. At this point, I'm mostly just supervising the work of my VFX artist and composer. A couple of the completed miniature shots look insane, but sharing them would be too big a spoiler.

Finally, I have a meeting on Friday with some of my frequent collaborators about first steps on a very big and very exciting project. Is it the next movie? I don't know. You didn't hear it from me.
