Winter is over, let's get back to work!

Despite the return of the snow on Sunday, it is starting to warm up outside, which means that filming for Real American is kicking back into gear. Of course, the snow would have to rear its ugly head on the very same day we had a photoshoot scheduled for the series, but we managed to grin and bear it. I say "We" but it was mostly our supporting actress and writer Jalexia Stoutmyre who did most of the grinning and bearing: Not pictured: Jalexia Stoutmyre walking around in the

A Look Back at Perelandra's Year

What a year we’ve had! Jacob and I are so incredibly grateful to all the talented people who have joined us in our creative endeavors over the past year. I am taking a moment to reflect on these achievements and consider the year ahead. Nottingham was released online January 17, 2018. It was the anniversary of the presidential inauguration one year prior. As we had worked through the summer and fall of 2017 on the post-production for the music video, we wondered how long the

Nathalie Galde almost didn't audition for Real American...

Nathalie Galde stars in Real American as Anastasia Atwood, a young news producer who disguises her identity so that she can have a "normal life." As a screenwriter, it's really exciting when the ideas you put down on paper start to materialize. This past week, Perelandra Pictures and Pruim Digital Media did a promotional photoshoot with Nathalie, and I got a small glimpse of Anastasia in the flesh. Now I can't wait to see Nathalie bring that character to life on set. Just thi

Behind Real American: The Writers - Penni Jones

Penni Jones is the author of On the Bricks and Kricket. She is a native Arkansan who now calls Michigan her home except during the coldest part of winter when she hates everything. I first met Penni when she applied for a writer position on Real American. She sent her short story "Danny Dead Eyes" as a sample of her writing, and I remember getting to the end and audibly gasping. I knew that she would be a great asset to the series. Here are her thoughts on her experience work

Locked in a room, discussing murder and aliens

This past weekend, I found myself locked in a room with four other people, deciding what to do about alien visitors and discussing whether or not we'd have to kill someone. (I'm stretching the truth a little bit. The door was completely immovable and wouldn't close, so we weren't actually locked in) I'm talking about the writers' room for the upcoming series REAL AMERICAN, produced by Perelandra Pictures. Kathryn Postema and I hired writers Penni Jones and Jalexia Stoutmyre t

"Choose Wisely" AKA Submissions Closed for Real American

The window for submissions has closed for Real American. Nearly 20 writers applied and now Kathryn and I are faced with the arduous task of picking just TWO of them to join our writers room. Don't be fooled by how easy we make it look. A lot of talented people applied which makes choosing that much harder. But if all goes well, we will be congratulated by the knight who guards the Holy Grail. We're aiming to have our decision by February 18th. And if you want to know what's g

Don't be this guy AKA Starting Real American

Here's a comment Kathryn got on her post for Real American (Note: If you don't know what Real American is or you want to apply to write for the show, you can do that here). Nowhere does the post say all female led series, but...really...so what if it did? Apparently, the idea that women can be the stars of their own complex, interesting lives full of trials and mistakes is more unbelievable than an alternate timeline where aliens from outer space landed here in the 60s and ha
