NEW CUPIC FEATURE AND SERIES: Back to the Basics

For the past few years, we have been contemplating the new direction for the CUPIC series. Our first CUPIC movie, THE GATHERING is now complete, anther feature length movie is in the works. What is next for this series?

Something was nagging me, a feeling that would not go away. The original 1992-93 series, THE McALLISTER AFFAIR, was not completed. There were several episodes still gathering dust on the shelves and as I dug deeper into the archives, I found a nearly completed feature length screenplay based on the original series that followed the background of the CUPIC California members.

Our new decision, was not a quick one, is to continue the series, instead of just making a series of shorts that are under 10 minutes, go back to making 30 minute episodes. In the new series we will mix the new with the old, Arizona with California. The original series intent was to have a continuous storyline over four episodes with interesting background stories. This will translate into the new series. The first four episodes are being penned right now, with four more after that. The topics will deal with more than UFO sightings; ghost, big foot, Squawker, etc… We’ll keep you posted on the developments.

THE GATHERING UPDATE: re-mastering?

Updated Tuesday December 06, 2005  We are currently working on the re-mastering of our digital feature project from last year, THE GATHERING. The goals are to clean up some of the audio, add a few scenes and enhance others. One of most ambitious goals for this project is to master the audio in 5.1 digital. 

Why are we doing this? Well, it’s not that we disliked the original version, but there is room for improvement. Before we work on the next feature project, we want to perfect this story. Another reason is that it will be released onto DVD in the near future.

We will keep you informed on the further developments.

SEQUEL TO GATHERING PLANNED FOR 2006

Slated for production in late 2006 - early 2007 , the story will follow Katrina Gideon, the main character from THE GATHERING who is now a student at Stanford University and now she stands on the threshold of a new life. She closes on graduation and she also has a lucrative executive job at a major engineering firm. Everything is going to plan, or is it… The nightmares return, this time with a different twist.
