Last night while grappling through a grape valley, I was ganged up by a group of gruesome, giggling ghouls. However, hidden in a haystack I hacked out a helicopter with hanging helium tanks and hilariously hit the hideous hipster hellings back to Hell. Imagine that?

New month, new goals!
Children’s Book
I’ve written out a story for a children’s sci-fi/fantasy book series. My goal is to work with an artist to bring it to life.
Mini-Series
National Novel Writing Month? Not me. I’m working on a script for a mini series that can be simply described as a cross between Heroes and Firefly with stylings of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. I have all sorts of scenes and parts written out along with some production challenges figured out. My goal is to have a written out draft by the end of the month.
Wild Improv Challenge!
This series sort of fizzled out last month, but I’m feeding it this month. My goal is to film enough challenges to put together a DVD/Blu-ray in time for a Christmas present.
Will I accomplish these goals? Stay tuned to find out! Some other things to look forward to this month: the release of my murder mystery party game, great gift ideas from Uncovering Oklahoma, and maybe even a new short story.
Here are some of my favorite performances I have recently filmed:
Twinprov: Rap-Sody – True Agnosticsm – Oct. 1, 2011
Twinprov, made up of OKC Improv artistic directors and twin brothers Buck and Clint Vrazel, performing their acclaimed “Hip Hop Harold” musical improv long-form, Rap-sody at OKC Improv on October 1, 2011. The suggestion was “true agnosticism.” They are joined on stage by musician Kyle Gossett (Trouble Clef).
Short, Round, and Brown Act 1 and Act 2
Short, Round & Brown. One Woman. Plus. Featuring Cristela Carrizales as she tells stories and sings about her life.
Red Letters @ OKC Improv – Oct. 1, 2011
Red Letters’s off the rails performance from OKC Improv show featuring Bryan Buckley and a deliriously and hilariously jet-legged Alyssa Buckley!
It’s Momma @ OKC Improv – Oct. 1, 2011
OKC Improv debut of the one-man show “It’s Momma” created by and starring actor/improviser Rory Littleton (Everybody and Their Dog) in which he plays an exuberant woman known as Momma inspired by the many strong female influences in his life.
Uncovering Oklahoma’s first HD video is sweet! I’ve been wanting to do this show in HD for a years and now my first HD video is online. For the latest Uncovering Oklahoma video, I interviewed Cher Casso of the fairy tale inspired candy shop, Pinkitzel. Watch the HD video to find what treats Pinkitzel offers, what makes the shop special, and the meaning of Pinkitzel’s name. More information and pictures can be found on the Pinkitzel page.
The video was shot with my new Canon Rebel T3i. It did a great job. I really liked the whole tapeless process of shooting video. Transferring clips is way faster and easier than capturing footage. The ability to switch between video and photo was wonderful and so useful.
The same day I was out filming this video, I did the first episode of my new Wild Improv Challenge series with Raychel Winstead. A few days later, I shot the second episode. So far, so good.
Brand new video for Uncovering Oklahoma on LIVE on the Plaza.
LIVE on the Plaza is a monthly art walk event, held on the second friday of every month, that promotes emerging artistic talent in Oklahoma City. Plaza District businesses open their doors with monthly visual artists, performing artists and live musicians. Many special events also take place during LIVE on the Plaza, such as Lyric Theater performances, CD releases, private parties, holiday retail events and so much more. LIVE on the Plaza provides the community an opportunity to view emerging talent each month, as well as socialize with a diverse mix of artists, professionals, neighborhood residents and families. It’s a fun event worth checking out.
In the video I spoke with Plaza District Association’s Executive Director, Kristen Vails, along with Shannon Primeau of Everything Goes Dance Studio, Nathan Lawson of Gallery 1612, Lindsay Zodrow of Collected Thread, Jonathan Fowler of Fowler Volkswagen, Dylan Bradway of DNA Galleries, and Jason Duncan of Cafe Evoke.
