Gimmicky new Witchfinder General idea / upcoming collaboration / Sudbury Devil starting back up
Added 2021-04-23 02:43:23 +0000 UTCHey everyone!! As you know, I love me some gimmicks, and I'm taking viewer video submissions for the tentatively titled upcoming video "The Witchfinder General Gives Spiritual Advice." I've been reading The Heart of Christ by Thomas Godwin (yeah I don't really know who he was either. Some Puritan weirdo) which has been giving me some inspiration.
In other news, I'm collaborating with History With Cy (one of my favorite ancient history channels) and World of Antiquity (aka Dr. David Miano, an archaeologist and ancient historian) for a video series about Atlantis, of all things. Turns out that the guy who basically kickstarted the modern Atlantis conspiracy theories was Ignatius Donnelly, a congressman from Minnesota during the Civil War who went on to become a Reconstruction-era Radical Republican, and then a prominent figure in the Populist movement. He was also out of his tiny little mind. Very much up my alley of interests!
Also, pre-production of my feature film The Sudbury Devil is starting up again. You may remember we crowdfunded it in March 2020 with plans to shoot in May – well, that didn't work out, and after rescheduling filming twice we postponed indefinitely. Now it's looking like we might be able to shoot in October! Those of you who contributed to the crowdfunding campaign way back when, keep an eye out for an update email.
