Short Film Update

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

I mentioned here that one of my short stories, ‘Cake Batter’ was optioned for a short film by Shadetree Films.

In the past day I have spoken with Warren Provencal, Owner and Director of Shadetree, and he informed me that he and his crew are ready to begin filming in the coming weeks.

There will also be an open casting call for the three roles (husband, wife and secretary), at which time I will provide the link so you can read about what he is looking for and how to go about contacting him to arrange a time for an audition.

Update: An open casting call will be held this Saturday, August 15th from 3 to 7pm in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.  Click here to read the entire casting call and what Warren is looking for in each role.

Novella Project – Update

Posted on by Ty Schwamberger

Some of you newbies on my site, might not be familiar with the novella project that was originally started with two other authors and myself.

Adam P. Lewis and I are both finished with our novellas.  The problem is, until recently, that we ‘lost’ our third author during the beginning of the project.  To this very day we are not entirely sure what happened to him, but we believe an evil garden gnome might have finished him off.  In any event, there is now a new author on board to write the third novella for the book.

Her name is Misty Gersley, editor at Withersin Magazine.  You might recognize the name of the mag, as I have written several book reviews in the past and continue to do so.  If you have never read the magazine, I highly suggest checking out the site and ordering yourself a single copy or better yet, a subscription.

Adam and I both believe she will make a wonderful addition to the project and are looking forward to reading the crazy stuff that will come out of her head!
