Kreating Karloff

I'm comin' 'round the bend with "Kreating Karloff," I'd love another month but I just don't have it! It's been quite the process taking twelve hours of interviews/b-roll and cut together a coherent interesting story. So much is on the floor but you can't have an attachment to anything, because the only thing that is important is the flow of the story.

I mean obviously it'd be great to include some stuff, and I have no doubt in my mind some of the people involved are going to be bummed, but there was so much to cram into under an hour that there was really no choice in what I did.

I'm cutting together the Karloff biography this weekend, and then adding the "sweeteners," cutaways and archival footage in the sections that require it, but I'm more or less on the last turn here.

Conor, whose brainchild this documentary was, is going to be coming down next week to take a look at the final cut and offer his input. Unfortunately, he has it screening at conventions starting the week of August 21st, offering little to no opportunity for revision, but I'm very confident in my work. There is never enough time to do everything that needs to be done, but thats just how it works!

After Kreating Karloff is over, my idle mind will shift to the second season of Hello the Podcast, where many many changes are going to take place.
