Every Story has its Beginning

Welcome Readers! If you’re looking at this page you might be here for a couple of reasons:

A. you are an aspiring film maker

B. you are an aspiring actor

C. you have heard of or seen our work

or

D. we posted this on your facebook and told you that if you did not read it death would be swift!

Either way we’re glad you are here!

In this weekly blog we will log our journey from the initial stages of concept, writing, casting, pre production, production, post production and finally releasing of a webseries.

If you don’t know who we are, allow me to introduce us. My name is James Patrick Pettitt, a Canadian actor, teacher, and fight director (Spitfire Films) and my business partner Adrian Laurie, film maker, director, CGI, editor amongst a million other titles (Filmlore Productions). Fairly small team some might say… I say we’re just “concentrated awesome”!

Although both Adrian and I work professionally, as is the nature of the beast, there are dry spells that everyone in this industry goes through, especially if you’re not a house hold name. This mixed with that fact that Adrian and I are two extremely creative and driven people who want to tell our own stories and not just work for other people’s visions all the time, we decided to start producing our own work.

Today the entertainment industry is completely and totally different then it was even 6 years ago… its even drastically different then it was last year! Many of you might have just come from watching your favourite TV show or movie online from one of the many free websites that host them. This is the way TV and film will be viewed. People don’t like being a slave to the “boobtube” instead they like the YouTube! Watch what you want when you want!

Now I don’t think movie theatres are going to disappear but TV might because of the sheer connivance of the internet, especially now that LCD TV’s hook up to your computer. This is what has driven Adrian and I to make a high quality YouTube webseries! 

I am sure many of you reading this have had things resonate with you. Whether is creating your own work, trying to make your mark, the way the industry has changed or that it’s reassuring to know that someone else is trying to do the same thing as you! Hopefully along the way on our journey to the first episodes release we might answer some of your questions, put to rest some fears or shed some light on how to do this through our trials and tribulations!
