Mister Tumnus & Me

I once read that the initial idea for what became CS Lewis’ The Chronicles of Narnia was the singular vision of a faun with an umbrella beside a lamppost.  That one vision begged to be explained and so Lewis created a world in which that little moment could take place.  If that is the case, then episode 5 of Remnants is my Tumnus.

A few years ago, a sequence played out in my head.  I wasn’t sure what the sequence meant, but I knew it was the perfect way to start my next film script.  A boy is woken up one morning by his mother who says she’s being arrested by the police and if he doesn’t act quickly, they’re going to arrest him and his sister too. The boy leaps out of bed, grabs his sister, and the two hide as the police rummage through their house.  The police don’t find them, leave, and only then does the boy and his sister come out of hiding.  They are seen, however, by their next door neighbor, Frank.

That’s all I had.  I didn’t know who the boy was, who his sister was, why their mother was being arrested or where the story was going to go from there.  But from that seed, a story began to sprout.  It grew forwards and backwards.  Back story took root, fleshing out the world they lived in.  Characters, their actions, and their reactions branched upward and outward and I soon found myself completely immersed in the world that would become Remnants.

Interview with Composer Michael Goldsmith

Michael Goldsmith recently moved from Chattanooga, Tennessee to Austin, Texas.  This made sitting down with him nigh impossible.  However, through the modern marvel of e-mail, I was able to ask him a few questions about writing the music for the first season of Remnants.

Kelly & The Posters

Kelly & The Posters.  It sounds like a surf band from Minnesota that thought they had a real shot at giving the Beach Boys a run for their money, only to discover they were sadly mistaken.  But that’s neither here nor there!  Special thanks goes out to one Kelly D. Fogg who posted our poster up at her work.  She . . . wait a minute . . . She’s married to the writer!  And the executive producer!  She was probably cajoled into doing this!

Or perhaps she just wanted to show the rest of the world how it’s done . . . hmmm . . .

In other poster news, Loren whipped up a rockin’ desktop wallpaper for all of you out there like us and just can’t squeeze enough post-apocalyptic imagery into your lives.  Click on to embiggen!  Rick click (or Apple click or whatever it you do) to save!

a subtle hint at a local used book store

Here’s my first contribution to our viral marketing campaign.  It’s on the cork board at McKay Used Books & CD’s.  It’s right between the restrooms and right in front of the elevator.  People are bound to see it.  It’s also where I work, so it was super easy to do.
