After many, many weeks without new episodes the new one is up and ready to be seen HERE!
I hope you enjoy it!
Monday should see the latest from "Make-Up with The Wolf" and it looks like we are back on schedule!
In Kickstarter news, if you participated in campaign you should have seen our latest update both on the Kickstarter site and in our last update, but just in case it wouldn't hurt to check that out again. By the way, if you emailed us we have received it and will be following up over the weekend.
It's been a good month!
See you soon!

This is it.
The last day.
The final 24.
Because of your support we have crested over $4100 mark! We are close!
Today we need to close the gap!
If everyone who sees this donates $3, less than a cup of Starbucks or Coffee Bean, then we're over.
If those same people post this link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk and we only get 10% response from it we're still over.
$3 and/or a post and we do it. Seriously, that's all it takes. We did math.
To those of you who have been pushing with us this week: Thank you so much for your support and your belief in the project - even if you're just doing it because you personally like Zeke or Myke or myself - it makes us feel really good to know that our friends, family and fans are willing to help us out. Not everyone can say that and we are grateful beyond measure.
Also, here's one last video because Vernon Wells was good enough to loan us his person to add to our cause.
Let's do this!

I don't think I need to put too fine a point on it but - THE END IS NEAR!!!!!!!!!!
The end of the Kickstarter campaign, that is.
For those of you who have backed us thus far: THANK YOU BEYOND THANKS!
For those of you who have promoted us thus far: WE COULDN'T DO IT WITHOUT YOU!
For those of you who might still be on the fence: JOIN US OVER HERE!
The support from family, friends, and fans of indie and horror has been awe inspiring and as we get closer to the last hours we need to keep up the hard work - especially with this being a holiday weekend.
As I'm sure you've seen, Zeke, Myke and I are constantly updating as things happen, like yesterday's addition of Vernon Wells the notable character actor who has donated time and money to the cause!
Zeke will be at theNew Beverly Theatertonight for the screening of"Forbidden Zone"plugging away and I'll be around the O.C. reminding you college kids that beer may be fun, but supporting independent horror films is way more fun!
We're also going to try and shoot some video today to get up before we hit the LAST 24 HOURS!
Yesterday was a GREAT rally! I kept getting messages every few minutes about new backers and it was awesome! Zeke and I were actually in a meeting yesterday and my Blackberry kept blinking. It was a good reason to have to constantly check my phone!
The image above is a new poster that will be atThe New Beverly Theaterthis Saturday night for the midnight screening of Forbidden Zone that Zeke will be attending. It's a fun movie that features the first appearance ofOingo Boingo when they were still The Mystical Knights of the Oingo Boingo. That's some trivia for ya'.
Zeke will be there pushing the campaign with post cards and pleas. Go have some fun!
Go to it, spread it, post it, Tweet it, blog it, whatevs, but please spread the word!
In related, but other news we've changed up the WiggyWebs release schedule, as I'm sure you've noticed. Now look for:
Monday - Make-Up with The Wolf: A chance to learn how to do special make-up effects from Emmy Award winning, Oscar nominated F/X artist Myke "The Wolf" Michaels, star of the show "Enter the Wolf."
Wednesday - Story Time with Ray: You're favorite cantankerous old guy keeps teaching the youth of the world all about life, the world and the alphabet.
Friday - 3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean: Topics of the day, discussions about comics, movies and pop culture all in just 3 minutes!
We have had some editing issues and some upload issues, but as of today those are a thing of the past! We are back on schedule and the videos are up! Subscribe to make sure you never miss an episode!
The more people who see it the better this works, and we absolutely need your help! Pop it up on Facebook, Twitter, even MySpace.
A little later today we will have a new "Make-Up with the Wolf" right here and on Wiggy Webs, but you can see it right now at the Cheerleaders Facebook page!
Don't let it be said that we as filmmakers don't have, what investors call, skin in the game. So far we have released what might be considered pretty "normal" rewards - but today we launch something all new, and all different: Win A Date With Gordy and Make-Up Lessons From The Wolf!
Yes, that's right, personal time with myself (and probably my wife so I'm not accosted) and Myke in exchange for your support. These are special types of rewards and have a few extra rules:
1) Please don't be crazy. Passionate is fine, being a fan is great or even just a student who wants some face time is cool - but if you end up being bat-shit crazy we reserve the right to make you leave.
2) These are limited to a MAXIMUM of 5 backers each. We don't have a lot of time and are more than happy to make time for our contributors, but we need to set a limit.
3) While you will receive all the other "typical" rewards should you pledge for one or the other the only way to get both is to pledge $501 or more, other wise pledge the amount for either of us. Hell if you want to pledge more, but don't want to cross the $500 threshold, just message us which you would like, we'll make a note.
Thank you so much and don't forget to tell a friend! You can copy/paste this link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk
I know it's been about two weeks without an update, but I promise that we've had good reason for the silence - we have been cookin'!
Release of "3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean" and "Story Time with Ray" have continued unabated and if you are reading this via a reader on on the blog page proper you should be able to see the newest episodes right here:
If not, then go to the Wiggy Webs channel and catch up on everything you've missed!
We were at San Diego ComiCon last week supporting Director Zeke Pinheiro and our friends with the short film "The Price." It was an official selection at the Comic Con International Independent Film Festival and we want to say congratulations to them and good luck tonight at the Action on Film Festival! We have some pictures from the convention on the Wiggy Facebook Fan Page. If you haven't liked up please give it a click.
Speaking of film projects, we have launched a Kickstarter campaign for "The Cheerleaders Must Die!" We are raising funds to hire our casting director and pay our story board artist to keep pre-production moving as we finalize our production financing. This project has been such a roller coaster, having been promised funds three times and each time having something fall though. Even though we've faced some adversity, there is significant interest in the project and we are getting this movie made! You can be an integral part of this equation by participating in this campaign!
"What ways can I help?" - The best way is to contribute directly to the campaign. We don't need a lot of money, in the grand scheme of things, but it is more than we can make available without help. Any amount is appreciated and we have some pretty cool rewards for those willing to give!
"What if I can't donate? What then?" - Help us get the word out! Crowd source financing requires a crowd and the further it gets out the bigger the crowd! You can copy & paste this link: http://kck.st/qZtHxk It takes you right to the campaign and all the pertinent info.
