Still waiting for more DVDs (which is why you guys supporting us is so much appreciated!) and I have to covert my videos to DVD. This is a big one, it won't be a 2-parter like the Hammer Frankenstein but it's our first attempt at biography and the sheer number of films (Chaney made at least 158) is daunting - what do you include? What do you leave out? And of course when you do a biog you have to talk about his life before and in between films, so I'm tracking down pictures of parents, home town, his early stage work, etc. Plus; this is Lon Chaney, an iconic figure, and there are already a fair few videos about him on YouTube so I need to find a new angle from which to approach his life. To make matters worse, we've kind of nailed our colours to the mast and said this will be out on April 1st to coincide with Chaney's birthday, and I've been too busy with the day job recently to do much work. The basics are in place but I haven't lined up any of the clips so Graham hasn't been able to start editing which, with 158 films to consider, is going to be a monster task. (We probably won't use all 158 but still). I've blocked out a couple of days this week - this is now my priority.
Also got to come up with a title that hasn't been used. Honestly, every variation of Behind the Thousand Faces has been taken. rb
