Business As Usual -- and so much more!

Yes, I realize I haven't updated this blog in a while.  But that's because so many interesting things have come up lately for D.A.T.A!

We just finished participating in the 48 Hour Film Project this past weekend - What an amazing ride!

It was a lot of work and very, very little sleep, but to be honest, I'm already looking forward to next year.

We're working with a really amazing screenwriter, currently, to develop a 13-episode series that will be showcased on YouTube as well as a few other markets.  Keep an eye out for our first episode in about 2-3 weeks.

I'm also working on my own screenplay currently.  This will be a collaborative effort amongst a few members of D.A.T.A Staff and friends of D.A.T.A.  Can't wait to get this underway.

Additionally, D.A.T.A Film Production has joined forces with ShadowWind Studios in a collaborative effort to make the best Machinima for multiple mediums both in and out of world.  One of these upcoming projects involves Steampunk!  Got to love it!

D.A.T.A is also in collaboration with Pan Reality Media & SchoolHouse Earth on a few up and coming projects -- STICK AROUND TO FIND OUT MORE!

D.A.T.A will also be beginning a weekly Podcast coming soon -- The DATA Stream. 
Check out this amazing graphic that we made for the show!



On a more personal note, I'd like to direct everyone reading this blog to an amazing band!

THE NEW DEPARTMENT OPENS!

D.A.T.A FILM PRODUCTION
A film is a ribbon of dreams. The camera is much more than a recording apparatus; it is a medium via which messages reach us from another world that is not ours and that brings us to the heart of a great secret. Here magic begins. - Orson Wells
Never before has this amazing statement been true than it is today.  We at D.A.T.A Film Production look forward to working with talented Screenwriters and Playwrights to bring their words to life.  We help to create the magic so that others can be transported from a word of Machinimatography into our reality.

Check out the website for more information about the company and the services we offer.
