Exciting News (that I can't yet share) and reasons to be thankful today.

Hey, Friends!
I have a confession to make: for the last two years, I've been working on an exciting partnership for the film. This has been the primary reason for the extended hold-up. I'm thrilled to say the paperwork is finally signed and we're moving forward!
It's still too early in the process to share the details but I wanted to let everyone (finally) know why it's felt like nothing's happening for so long. Again, thanks for your patience and understanding.
Behind the Scenes: Nine Years Ago!
Hard to believe we finally started rolling on Frank & Zed nine years ago in a tiny garage. Here are a couple shots that show how crowded it was.
Still haven't seen the film?
DVDs and BluRays are still a long ways off (more to come on that later.) However, the film is available to stream for anyone who hasn't seen it. Just drop me a message and we'll get it figured out. (Ditto if you are waiting on anything from me. I've struggled to manage this massive beast and too much has slipped through the cracks.)
Thanks again so much for your patience and support!
P.p.s. - The next Puppetcore project is taking shape! Details to come on!

Hey Gang,
I know it's been another long wait between updates. I'm still trying to navigate distribution which remains murky and challenging.
In the meantime, I'm packing up some Frank & Zed stuff to make room for my next film. Here's a quick peek at some of the goods!
I know you are all still waiting on DVDs, BluRays, and news about when the film will finally be released. I'm pushing as hard as I can (as I have been) but I still don't have anything solid to report. There is some good news on the horizon. Keep your fingers crossed for me!
Thanks again for your patience,
Jesse

Hey Friends!
I know it has (again) been too long between updates. Getting the film to you remains and elusive fox that continually slips through my fingers. However, please know I am doing my best to make it happen.
With the dearth of new, news to share I did a little digging to find a wonderful gem - the original Frank & Zed illustration by Scotty Wygmans aka Dark Wizard Berserker.
Look at that detail!
That's it for this update. Again, I'm sorry for the continued delays. It continues to be very complicated navigating independent film distribution. But I am working on some good news and I hope to share it soon.
Thanks for all your patience and support!
