TWENTY YEARS LATER is moving forward at a steady clip.  Fundraising is under way, and you can help!  Just check out our Indiegogo page and donate whatever you can.  $1, $5, $10, $25 ... every little bit helps.

We're also a week into the audition process.  A number of performers have already read for several roles, and there are plenty more coming in the next two weeks.  We hope to have the full cast assembled by the middle of June, but of course, that depends on how the auditions go.

Yesterday, Bob and I did an interview on WOOD Radio in Grand Rapids, Michigan to talk about the film and the fundraising.  If you missed it or were unable to hear the broadcast, you can watch a video of the whole thing here.  A big thanks goes out to John Kangas for assembling the video!

And thanks to everyone who has donated or auditioned so far!

TWENTY YEARS LATER has now entered fundraising mode!  If you'd like to contribute, please visit our Indiegogo campaign.  There are all sorts of great perks for donating.

And please continue to help us spread the word about this film!

Many of the roles in TWENTY YEARS LATER were written for specific actors.  Some characters were not, but I knew right away who I wanted to approach for them.  Then there are those pesky roles for which I have absolutely no one in mind.  That's when the casting calls go out.

I'm currently sorting through the first wave of applications from actors, and it looks like there are some solid contenders.  Auditions will begin in Grand Rapids, Michigan, on Monday, May 13, and last until Saturday, June 1.

This is pretty exciting!

A number of things are happening in the world of TWENTY YEARS LATER.  For one thing, our Facebook Superhero Photo Contest ended last Saturday.  The winner was Catherine Chamberlin, whose photo of her son Theo received 48 likes!  Catherine wins a twenty-dollar gift card to Celebration! Cinema.

We're also preparing to launch our Indiegogo fundraising campaign.  The video pitch is finished, and we're just trying to lock down some of the fun perks for our donors.  Keep an eye out for the campaign launch.  We'll certainly be advertising it when it happens.

We've also managed to attract a few more cast members to the project in the last week.  Auditions for supporting roles will be coming up in the next month or so, so if you're an actor, please watch for our upcoming casting call.

The project just keeps moving forward, and Bob and I are really excited about it.  We love this story and are eager to share it with an audience.  Please keep spreading the word about TWENTY YEARS LATER!  We can't do this without support from our friends, family members, and fans, and we're so thankful for all the support we've already seen.  Thank you!

The Facebook page for TWENTY YEARS LATER has launched a contest this week!

Dress up like a superhero, take a picture, and post it on the Twenty Years Later page! Whoever submits the picture that receives the most "likes" by 10:00 PM (Eastern time) on Saturday, April 13, 2013, will win a twenty-dollar gift card to Celebration! Cinema movie theaters here in Michigan.

And don't forget to "like" the pictures you want to vote for!

Wow, what a tremendous display of support!  I launched the Facebook page for TWENTY YEARS LATER last Friday morning and almost immediately met with an avalanche of "likes"!  Tuesday morning, I saw that we were up to 84 likes, and I publicly asserted a goal to reach 100 within twenty-four hours.  The page hit 100 in less than twelve hours.  Amazing.

Hi!  I'm Joshua Courtade, the writer, director, and producer of the upcoming independent feature film TWENTY YEARS LATER.  This will be my second feature film (my first one -- a drama called BLACK PAPER -- is currently in post-production).  The film is still in development, so lots of things are up in the air right now.  But I wanted to start this blog to keep people informed regarding the progress of this project.
