Pretty rad, huh? Equally rad is that the band Absalom Absalom! recorded a theme song for us that will kick off every podcast from this point on, a Fulle Anthem if you will...
I can't stop rocking this tune, I've been chanting "we're coming FULLE CIRCLE" a lot lately. So we gave our iTunes site a makeover and are lining up some pretty cool celebrity guests for the coming months to join us. The podcast is going to become more of a "show" than previous episodes, and I'm going to rope in a co-host to help me make the episodes more entertaining... unless you want to hear a lonely boy babble to himself for the first 10 minutes of each show, I am definitely capable.
The past month has also been my starting point for writing my screenplay-turned-novel FOREVER DICK. A major source of inspiration for me has been watching Kevin Smith's S.I.R. (SModcast Internet Radio) and his truly independent film, RED STATE, grow from being an idea that many naysayers "naysay'd" into a successful, profitable network and movie. It got me to actually plop myself down in front of a blank page and start writing. It also got me recognition on S.I.R.'s own HAVING SEX, WITH KATIE MORGAN.
However, the stress of trying to SELL a screenplay got to me. I interviewed screenwriter Kate Lynch a few months back here in Orlando and got re-inspired to finish it. I got to thinking, though, that a screenplay could take forever to sell, and does not have the promise of ever becoming a film. I could invest blood, sweat and tears into a personal story that would no longer be mine and possibly no one would ever see, hear or read. So that's where there idea of turning it into a novel came from. I'm going to write it and put it out there myself, immediately for you guys to read! I wrote on Twitter that the story is "about the struggle between career and love, heart and head. A comedy about jealousy, growing up, and theme parks."
Here's the conversation with Kate Lynch that spawned the ambition...
Another revamp that took place in the past month is the remodeling of FulleCircle.com. It's no longer accessible if you type in "www" at the beginning, you have to go to http://FulleCircle.com. The new site is a lot easier to navigate around and also has a mobile app! I've been accused of being lazy in life, so I just want to take a moment and look back at all of the documented interviews I've conducted independently since starting Fulle Circle. Not to blow myself, but it's pretty impressive for a non-professional...
