The Courier update

Back in January, John and I announced that we would be shooting a short film called The Courier. Here was John's summary from January 29:

"The Courier is a short film prequel to our feature-length film, The Rickert Racket. It is about Snorri Harsgaard and Hamilton Stone, two milquetoast city employees at the beck and call of Springfield's biggest powermonger, Councilman Jack Rickert. During their first day on the job in Springfield's Animal Control department, Snorri and Hamilton get a call from Rickert to meet a courier at the old Sangamo Town site to pick up an important package. Snorri and Hamilton embark on a mini adventure to find the courier and secure the mysterious package for Rickert."

Just at the time that we were scheduled to shoot, 14" of snow dropped on us. We postponed the shooting date and we are now scheduled to shoot in the next couple of weeks. Ryan and Nick are still on board so we are in very good hands. Unfortunately Travis Liles will not be able to make the shoot. He was supposed to play the namesake of the film but he is taking part in a 100 mile run that weekend. Yes, that is 1-0-0, one hundred. We wish him good luck. However, we do want him to come on the show and discuss his crazy run sometime. Come to think of it, that is the second time we've had to cancel a "Travis-Just Two Guys" event because of snow. Anyway, the casting of that part is almost complete but we need to confirm once more before making it official. He had alcohol in him when he agreed.

This should be a fun project and we plan on airing the film on the show. Let's just hope we don't get cancelled again because of snow.
