Back in 2005, Jono made a parody of the hit TV show '24', and very cleverly (and because it was 29 minutes long) he called it '29'.

He also moved into an apartment with a very tall, movie-obsessed roommate named Alan. They bonded over Serenity and Firefly (and pizza)

So when Jono's new roommate approached with an idea for a sequel to the mega-blockbuster, '29', he very gracefully handed the reins to Alan to direct it (after they co-wrote the script together.)

And the rest is history! Alan became a film/TV/commercial director, and won 2 Emmys. Jono became a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, launched his own practice, and became quite successful. Then they created a YouTube show that some people watched some times. Whatever.

The important thing is, and always was: 29 Day 2.

The movie that launched an empire.

It... isn't good. (according to Alan, who is me. Hi everyone.)

29 Day 2 Special Edition (2006)

The first film from Telekinesis Entertainment, and director Alan Seawright. This is the first film I ever made. I had an idea for a sequel to Jonathan's movie (we were new roommates at the time) "29" and he told me, "I don't have time this semester, but you know a lot about movies, why don't you direct it?" So I did. I borrowed a MiniDV camera (I have it on the shelf behind me), got a white-plastic iMac and Final Cut Pro v5, and made this. We spent $241 making the movie, basically all of it on food for people, gas and an air compressor for the explosion, and miniDV tapes. 9 of them. Stay tuned for the Making Of documentary, that we made at the time (we were in peak DVD Special Features times. It was a great time to be a movie fan!) for our DVD. I directed, edited, sound FX edited, did all the VFX and graphics, and did the color grade. It was exhausting, but I was never not having fun. Guess that's why I'm still doing this, 18 years later.
