Coming Soon: A Video
We recently started filming a video to highlight what we’ve been doing in our sessions and what we think is going to happen. It is really great – being part of this experience – having an opportunity to experience working with actual film equipment, with an actual director and producer, and to see how it feels to be in front of a camera, which is incredibly useful for people like me who want to be a famous TV star one day.

Ideas such as a zombie apocalypse, world hunger, big corporate companies taking over, famines, floods and clever things like that have been the focus of our discussions so far, but with everyone contributing it’s only a matter of time until something concrete gets written down.
