Company of Thieves Premieres August 21

Hi guys

You long-term readers may remember back to October of 2009, when I mentioned that Trish and I were both going to be working on a new short film by Portland director Shilpa Sunthankar.

The film, Company of Thieves, is finally out of post-production and is going to be playing at Portland's Hollywood Theater on Sunday, August 21 (you can find all the details at haroldphillips.net.)  Trish does some voiceover work in the film about a man and his relationship with right and wrong, God and the Devil.  As for me... well, I'm guessing you can tell what part I play from the photo.

I hope you'll all come out to the premiere screening - admission is free, and it's a short film (about 17 minutes or so.)  I plan on being there after finishing the Portland Century ride with my dad... so don't be surprised if I'm just a little sweaty!

Oh, what's that?  You say you want to know a little more about the film than what I've written above?  Well...

Animus Cross Series II Launches April 28!

Hey everyone!

Mark your calendars! Steen House Entertainment has just announced the official launch date for Animus Cross Series II: "Hell For The Company."

(See the trailer in HD on YouTube or Vimeo)

Episode 1 of the new series will launch at www.animuscross.com on Wednesday, April 28 - and new episodes will be released on the last Wednesday of the month through November.

Trish and I are really excited to share this new series with you all - we knew when we were shooting Series I back in 2008 that we were part of something special... and Series II proves the point by "upping the ante -" more action, higher production values... and we finally get to show you the creatures who have been menacing us in the dark!

Be sure to spread the word: encourage your friends to get caught up on Series I: "Hell Runs The Way" at www.animuscross.com, and to become fans at the series' Facebook Page. Sign up for the Animus Cross Forum at the official site, and post your questions or comments for the series creators. Then, get ready to return with us to Frontier Idaho next Wednesday... the trip will be dark and dangerous, but I can promise you it'll be quite a ride!
