Hello everyone,
November is almost upon us – and in that month the actual main editing phase will ensue for the second half of the project. I'll try to make this process a very smooth one – given that our entire year of prep has been very thorough.
In the past months, the original half have been remastered by me, featuring a couple of recastings, additional needledrops and music, sound effects and some minor editing tweaks to add an extra layer of immersion. It's very important that the two halves sync up nicely to one coherent and consistent vision.

When the project is finally completed, I hope to have achieved – along with my talented collaborators – an ambitious and unique presentation, unlike any of the produced adaptations of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbon's WATCHMEN yet.
When that time comes, we'll release the entire 8+ hour long project for a very special premiere here on the channel.

"It'll be a blast," the giant squid monster said calmly.

Best
Director

Hello everyone,
I've just now activated the community on the channel for everyone to post as they please.
All that I ask is that we keep things civil and respectful. This is a small – but highly passionate – community that loves all things entertainment.
This channel mostly consists of fan-produced projects that I've directed myself featuring many talented people, and edited tribute videos of films or shows that I've decided to highlight, for one reason or another. These videos are all edited by me, as well.

The future of the community:
• For the past year myself and my crew of talented actors and our lovely composer have decided to return to finish off our adaptation of Alan Moore and Dave Gibbons graphic novel and comic-book milestone "Watchmen" from 1987.
This is an ongoing project that will be released on the channel in the not so distant future.
• I'm gearing up to adapt Cormac McCarthy's epic western novel "Blood Meridian" from 1985 in an immersive audio production featuring a talented crew of actors, an original score and a narrator reading all of the penned prose from the late McCarthy.
This is a pitch black tale of violence that has been an obsession of mine for the past few years, and bringing forward this material to an even wider audience – albeit fan-made – is a thing that would be very exciting, yet highly challenging.
The general idea is to adapt the novel in three consecutive parts – all directed and edited together by me.
This ambitious project – if it is to be completed – will take us some time to see through. And you're all welcome to join us and Judge Holden for a long while coach ride into human depravity.
Speaking of the Judge, I'm not sure a smirk from that joker has the best ramifications for me personally. He's starting to give me the heebie-jeebies ...

Sincerely
Olle

Hello to all of you eagerly awaiting – or rather salivating – the continuation of our WATCHMEN project,

I haven’t been writing to you much – and for that I apologize – but rest assured that everything is going according to plan with the project.
Over the past year, we’ve been preparing this rascal with over fifty new castings, a completely original score composed specifically for the project, and have reviewed and honed over a thousand comic book panels. All in our spare time ...

For me personally, and for many involved – it will be a triumph of community, shared talent and perseverance to see this project through to its proper conclusion.
I was a young man, in my early twenties when I directed and put together the first half of the project, and now I’m on the cusp of my thirties. I was a different person when I did the first half – some might say inexperienced – but when I'll begin molding the second half I feel like I have a lot more to offer creatively. But enough of that sentimental bogus ...

I don't like to give out release dates - in case I can't keep my word, so I won't give it to you yet - but it's coming out when it's done, and not before.
Mr. Moore once said that the creative space - or rather the writing itself - should be treated like a god, where nothing but your absolute best is good enough. We're going to take that statement to heart and not let this project go until we've reached that hill - or rather feel like it's just beyond our reach.
Surely we're going to drive ourselves mad, and WATCHMEN deserves to claim our sanity ...

Our only hope and ultimate goal with this entire passion project is to prove to whoever is in charge of these properties that you can do so much with so little.
When you have an authentic vision for something and surround yourself with other talented people – even if we may not even live in the same country as each other – who give their all to said vision, something truly magical can happen. Community and creating a healthy work environment is what counts.
But most importantly – we want to prove to whoever is in charge of these properties that time and care are essential to staying true to the original intentions of the stories, and why cuts and streamlining can sometimes cloud the entire enterprise to begin with.
True character and emotion are built within the smaller moments – and cutting too much might cripple that crucial development.

Sincerely
Director and His Gang of Rebels
