We’ve passed our goal and greenlit one more episode of Multiplex 10: The Web Series, so we’ll get back into production as soon as the Indiegogo campaign ends.

But we’re not done yet! We have exactly one stretch goal: for every $2,500 over the base goal, we will produce at least two more minutes of animation! We want to exceed whatever the promised goal is, but we need to be conservative with that, so we don’t run out of money again.

If you haven’t already, check out our Indiegogo
project page and pledge your support! 

The funding period ends on February 13th!

I got my dates mixed up earlier in the week, but today (1/29/20) is the second anniversary of Multiplex 10, marking two years since both Multiplex 10: The Animated Short and our first web series episode debuted!

We’ve been a little quiet lately (sorry about that) but we want to make at least one more episode of Multiplex 10, and we need your help to do it!

Head over to Indiegogo TODAY to pledge your support! 

We’ve got a very small $2,500 goal for one additional episode (already written and storyboarded!) but every penny more than that will help us make even more Multiplex 10.

(Please note: If you backed the web series Kickstarter, this new campaign is expanding that project! Tossing us a few dollars will absolutely help, of course, but you’ll get all the same producer credits in any new episodes that you did then.)

This, um, untitled mini-episode of Multiplex 10 relates to Star Wars. Have you guys heard of Star Wars?

Kurt and Jason just want to talk about the Endgame!

In our final Multiplex 10 Movie Minutes review (for a while, at least), Jason and Kurt review all three films in Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon trilogy.

Directed, executive produced, animated, and edited by Gordon McAlpin Written by Gordon McAlpin and Joe Dunn Producers: Tom Brazelton and Joe Dunn Starring: Tom Brazelton – Kurt Gordon McAlpin – Jason Associate Producers: Kirk Damman, Amy Guth, Robert Hornak Producers: Tom Brazelton, Joe Dunn, and Christopher Niessl Co-Executive Producers: Avrom Honig and Lawrence McAlpin

1. An extra-length Multiplex 10 Movie Minutes episode with Kurt and Jason reviewing all three films in the How to Train Your Dragon Trilogy (spoiler-free for the third one, but not the first two), aiming for a March early May release.
2. A shorter, timely web series episode similar to our first batch of episodes, with an approximate April late May/early June release.
3. One final web series episode along the lines of our biggest and longest episodes “Self-Help,” “More Than Meets the Eye,” etc., aiming for a July/August release.

Due to the ambitious nature of the three episodes we’ve produced to date, which run longer than the first SIX web series episodes combined (not counting credits), and we’re running on fumes right now — so if you love Multiplex 10 and want us to keep making them, tell your friends about the series and help push us over the finish line by becoming our Patreon patron today — or making a one-time donation.

Obviously, we hope to produce more Multiplex 10 in some form after these episodes are done! (We’ll be doing some comics on this site, at the very least.) Who knows that the future holds?

Thanks as always for your support! More soon.

Our longest web series episode to date, “More Than Meets the Eye,” is on track to be completed later this week. We’re aiming to release it to the public on Monday, February 18th.

After this episode is completed, we’ll have produced over 50 minutes of animation in roughly a year and a half — for less than $1000 per minute.  (That’s not counting a few promotional clips here and there for Indiegogo, Patreon, etc.)

Please consider helping us keep Multiplex 10: The Web Series going by becoming our Patreon patron OR making a one-time donation at Stareable, PayPal, or Venmo.

Apparently I had forgotten to upload this review comic, which was requested by our co-executive producer Avrom Honig. Menashe was a lovely character study, and you lament how much even “independent” films have started to shoehorn itself into Hollywood tropes in order to make a profit, you would do well to seek it out.

Just so you know, the next Multiplex 10 web series episode is coming… in a few weeks! It is by far the most complex one we’ve done to date, clocking in at over four minutes and featuring the largest cast of any of them. Notably, we’ll see the return of Becky (again played by Aiyanna Wade) and Franklin (played by Malcolm Ray from Channel Awesome).

Bear with us! It’s a hard one, but it’ll be worth it.

Our crowdfunded movie review series looks at the crowdfunded Christmas feature, I’ll Be Next Door for Christmas.

Multiplex 10: The Animated Short is an award-winning comedy about the movie-loving and customer-weary staff of the Multiplex 10 Cinemas. Kurt is an usher, pining for that special someone to share his love of horror movies. The newest hire, Jason, is a film snob who just needs a freakin’ job. Despite their differences, the pair will make fast friends—unless they kill each other first.

Original released to theaters and subscription-based platforms in January 2018, you can now stream the full short FREE on YouTube. And once you’ve watched the short film, be sure to watch
Multiplex 10: The Web Series!

Multiplex 10: The Web Series has won the Best Animation/Puppetry award at Minnesota WebFest! This news comes hot on the heels of winning Best Web Series at two recent GeekFest Film Festivals: Long Beach Comic Con and HawaiiCon earlier in September! We couldn’t be more thrilled about our recent successes on the festival circuit.

And, last week, we learned that we’ve received nominations in SIX categories at FirstGlance Film Festivals – Philadelphia: Best Director – Web Series (Gordon McAlpin), Best Comedy (Multiplex 10: The Web Series), Best Actor – Web Series (Tom Brazelton), Best Actress – Web Series (Dana Luery Shaw), Best Ensemble Cast – Web Series, and Best Sound Design! (Although I’ve been doing the sound design for the web series, these nods are based on the pilot, a.k.a. Multiplex 10: The Animated Short, which sound designer Ian Vargo was responsible for.)

Speaking of Multiplex 10: The Animated Short, although its film festival run will continue for a little while longer, the pilot that started it all will be finally released publicly NEXT MONTH (a.k.a. October), when it makes its YouTube Premiere on October 26 at 12pm (a.k.a. noon). Set a reminder for yourself to watch it live with me — or, you know, sometime after that.

On another unrelated note: in case you missed the recent announcement — due to a big dumb mistake, the old Multiplex 10 YouTube channel was deleted, and we’ve had to reupload all of the videos that we had backups for (which was all the important stuff). If you have not already, you will need to RESUBSCRIBE at https://www.youtube.com/c/Multiplex10Cinemas in order to continue getting updates!

Not enough sleep, coupled with plain ol’ stupidity found me deleting my G Suite account, not realizing that it was associated with more than just some e-mail addresses. It turns out that I also lost all of my email from from the last… well, ever, but it was in fact much, much worse, because it also included the Multiplex 10 “brand account,” as well. Including the YouTube channel, all its subscribers, view statistics, and so on, and so forth.

I’ve been having a bad week, and this was an extra bit of fun dolloped on top.

It does not look like restoring the account is an option. Google claims that it is deleted permanently, which would make it literally the only data in the universe that is actually deleted permanently when it is supposedly deleted. But it is what it is.

I’ve already re-uploaded the web series episodes, but in order to avoid any further stupidity, I need to get some sleep before I upload the Movie Minutes reviews.

BUT. Please subscribe to the NEW YouTube channel, because I’d really like to be able to get back that custom URL as soon as possible, if nothing else. The new URL (at least temporarily) is https://www.youtube.com/c/Multiplex10Cinemas

On a brighter note, Joe Dunn and I cracked an angle for the next video, which will be either a Movie Minutes review of the newest Nic Cage movie, Mandy, or possibly some kind of weird blend between a Movie Minutes review and a web series episode…? We’re working on the script, which (sorry) I do realize has been taking a bit too long.

[deep sigh]

Anyway, good night.
