Congratulations to the cast and crew of “Hopelessly in June” for an amazing end of production! We have such a great support system and invaluable resources – couldn’t have done it without you all!

Executive Producers, Jerry Mosley, Vincent Brantley & Jay Vetter with Lead Actress, Carolyn Neff

Our last days of production were our biggest yet! We had such talented actors join the team: Peter Jason, Stuart Pankin, Keith David, Ella Joyce, Ed Asner, Johnny Gill and Tiny Lister. Thank you all for allowing us to take our film to the next level and show people we really know what we’re doing.

For many of us this is the largest project we’ve taken on and completed to date and so it’s a huge achievement all around. We were able to celebrate with a champagne toast at the end of our biggest day surrounded by friends, family and colleagues in a beautiful space in San Pedro, CA.

Our post team is already underway cutting, recording, mixing and scoring. It won’t be long until we can share “Hopelessly In June” with all of you!

What I ask is that you tell your friends and family about this film. “Like” it on Facebook and follow in Twitter. This way you’ll be in the loop when we announce when and where you can see the film!

Thank you again to all who have supported us along the way.

There’s nothing better than a well oiled machine.

These two weeks in August are really the busiest and most important weeks of our entire production. With a sudden influx of talent and resources, we are kicking it into gear and pumping out the film in a few big days on set!

Really it all comes down to preparation. All of my work is done before we even set foot on set (for the most part). If we’ve done our job preparing then it goes smoothly. What this preparation means is having all of my duties complete. A peek at my “to do” list… [more here]

This Thursday (tomorrow) marks the beginning of the Independent Television Festival in Los Angeles, CA.  We are lucky enough to be attending and screening SOLO The Series at the festival on Wednesday, August 4th at 5:45pm.

The festival starts with a Show Creator Luncheon where we will receive our credentials and information about what to expect at the festival.  After getting my passes I’ll head home to get ready for the ITVFest Gala that night!

Those in attendance from our show will me (producer & director Allison Vanore), creator & star Jonathan Nail, composer Rob Gokee, cast Michele Boyd, Jason Burns, Amol Shah and casting director Laurie Records.  There will be a red carpet event prior to the Gala: photos and interviews for the cast.  At the Gala I’ll be mingling and networking with the other show creators, actors and producers.  We’ll be promoting SOLO to the party goers in the hopes that we will fill the theatre for our screening on Wednesday.

Outside of our screening I’m also looking forward to many of the panels/seminars they are hosting.  Saturday there are two panels that I’m looking forward to hearing: Development: Selling Your Show and Building A Career as a TV Writer.  Sunday I’ll also attend Representation: Getting That is Half The Battle and The Studio System. Then on Tuesday I look forward to attending Getting Sponsors for your Show.  It will be awesome to hear what the festival has to offer the show creators while we screen our shows and meet each other.

Shows I’m looking forward to seeing at ITVFest: Anyone But Me, Hamilton Carver, Fall of Kaden, Squatters, Cell The Web Series and Going to Pot.  See the trailers here: Page 1 & Page 2.

If you plan on being at ITVFest please let me know so we can meet up!  I’m hoping to hit up a few of the coffee mixers and a few of the night events.

Again, SOLO The Series screens Wednesday, August 4th at 5:45pm at Laemmle Sunset 5 for ITVFest.  Buy tickets here.

The third episode is up for your viewing pleasure!  This episode was directed by show producer, Allison Vanore.  With only three episodes shot, this episode marks the end of SOLO The Series while the show raises funds to continue production.  Blessed by such amazing and generous donors, SOLO is 20% funded!  To donate to SOLO please visit our Indie GoGo page to make your tax deductible contribution and to get some swag!!

Episode 3 has a surprise “guest” star who we flew in from the East Coast just for the filming.  Check it out!

Last week over 5K people watched SOLO The Series Episode 1!  This week, people are still talking about it.  Luckily, we have another episode to share!  Join the fan base, watch Episode 2 and then share it with everyone you know!

The SOLO team has also launched SOLO on IndieGoGo.com where people can not only make a tax deductible donation toward the show but they get swag in return!  We hope that you love the show as much as we do and will fight with us to keep the show going.  We need $13K to finish shooting the season and we appreciate all of our Solonauts who chip in!  We’ve already raised 10% of our goal in just 2 days and every little bit helps!!
