But behind the curtain, there really is stuff going on, I assure you! I&#8217;ve had the pleasure of partnering with many different creative people to develop material these days, and soon I hope a few of these projects will become things I can share here. One exciting development that I can make official: I will be providing content for one of the new online channels being created by this big\u00a0<strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.usatoday.com\/tech\/news\/story\/2011-10-29\/youtube-original-programming\/50997002\/1\">YouTube initiative<\/a>.<\/strong> I&#8217;m writing and directing an animated web series that will premiere this spring. It&#8217;s based on an original idea, it&#8217;s really funny and it has a very similar tone to &#8220;Hoodwinked.&#8221; I can&#8217;t tell you much\u00a0more than that right now, but I can&#8217;t wait to start posting new info on the characters and production in the coming months.<\/p>\n<p>This Christmas season always turns our thoughts to the spiritual, the emotional and the magical. I get those kinds of goosebumps whenever the lights go down in a movie theater. And as corny as it may sound, I sincerely feel like my own mission as a filmmaker is to bring some <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/27.media.tumblr.com\/Lc40siuqPoabjbugrXIqVIrUo1_500.jpg\">magic<\/a><\/strong> into the world. As I look to the new year and many potential new projects, I hope I get more chances to do that. The world is tough. Reality is harsh. Movies &#8212; and art in general &#8212; can sometimes be our only means of <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/theskylarcookmethod.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/05\/han-and-chewie-chewbacca-2893177-1024-768.jpg\">escape<\/a><\/strong> and relief. So I don&#8217;t take my work lightly. I feel blessed to get to do what I do. I hope that whatever your harsh reality may be, you can still count the blessings in your life this <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/fun-gallery.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/11\/Child-Christmas-Tree.jpg\">holiday season<\/a>.<\/strong> See you in 2012!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I haven&#8217;t had much to blog about lately.
