Remember, this is exactly what you do for us in the rest of the Youniverse, when we see you unapologetically unleash your talents. We are entertained by you when you gift a true and sincere representation of what really excites you the most. It inspires us to revisit our own passions that we might have forgotten we once revered. So thank you for that. Imagination thrives even greater, the more we feed it a bunch of "YES". 



You/We are the fireworks, YES?

A recent discovery has been made, as we have had the honor of coming across an extra-ordinary video online! Its amazing to think that Black Pumpkin Pictures was first inspired by the urban legend of Bloody Bobby and now so are these young folks! I would definitely say that their sincerity and love for their craft shines through. The more you re-watch, you will notice more levels and textures involved! We got a big kick out of the ones we found! Thank you thank you thank you for this creation and thank you for adding your fireworks to this Independent (film) Day!!!!

The Pumpkin Is Carving Into A Jack-o-Lantern

Hello, Curt here, aka Reggie Griffin.
There is some great news happening behind the orange curtain over here and we are happy to share it with you as soon as the time comes. In the meantime, there is other information available! In my last blog entry, I put a poster saying Bloody Bobby will be finished and ready by the Fall of 2013. This is not the case. The real story is that as long as this momentum continues to build, we will ideally start shooting in the Fall of 2013. If this news caused a disturbance in the force, I apologize for the inconvenience. We appreciate that you've been monitoring our progress and all of the great art you've sent in for us to display on our Bloody Bobby Facebook page!

Ryan is doing a tremendous job inventing up premises for 2nd and 3rd episodes already. As you watch this movie and if you pay attention to names mentioned, chances are...you will find these characters may showing up in Screamquels (yes, sure it was inspired by the Alvin and the Chipmunks word "squeakquel" but what the hecksters, right?). I always liked that about the Star Wars films, where they mention Jabba the Hutt in the first two, and THEN we get to see what he looks like in Return of the Jedi. This inspires mystery as well as anticipation and Iam honored to be a part of a project that would enable such epiphan-ated behavior!


There are also these handcrafted little Bloody Bobby voodoo dolls which will be some of the various intriguing incentives given for donating to our future crowd-sourcing fundraise-aganza. Ryan has been creating them like a madman, as well as talking to product placement folks. There are so many unknown factors yet to emerge, yet we feel confident that, just as we have done in the past, we will continue juggling these new aspects with grace and gentlemanly behavior. Each cogwheel of the Black Pumpkin Pictures team is a specialist at what they do and to have these kinds of gears moving the project along really gives us confidence in the manifestation of its existence.
