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.
Really sorry that the release of "Make-Up with The Wolf" and "3 Minutes with Curtis & Dean" have been so delayed. We were able to put out one fire - which is why "Story Time with Ray" has been on time - but there were a few things beyond our control with the other shows and we're getting it handled as quickly as we can. We expect a new "3 Minutes" on Friday and a new "MUwTW" on Monday.
Fingers Crossed!
Speaking of "Story Time with Ray" have you seen the NEW EPISODE? follow that link if you don't see the video here.
Once the alphabet is finished we'll be moving onto new topics, all selected by Ray, and I can tell you because I was there when it was all shot I'm kinda' temped to skip past the end of the alphabet and just start putting those episode out - but I'm also a complete-ist by nature so time will tell.
Also, if you haven't seen it yet you should check out the new Kickstarter Update we've posted! Just because we're funded doesn't mean we're leaving you guys out of the loop! You helped to get us where we are and we want you to know what's going on.
That's it for today. Big announcement coming up for Cheerleaders in the near future so keep an eye out for that!
We are still jumping up and down with excitement and we are doing our best to take advantage of the momentum from the Kickstarter campaign! We are pleased to say that Michael Mcclasky is now officially signed on as our casting director and we have several meetings set up over the next few weeks to get Cheerleaders locked down!
On the WiggyWebs front there are two new videos available right now!
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!
Keep pluggin' and thank you all so much!

Thank you is not sufficient to express the amount of gratitude that we have right now!
Yesterday's pledges were humbling and amazing!
We have 2 days left and we are 40% funded!
Also, we have our first takers for the "Date with Gordy", "Make-Up Tutorial with The Wolf" and Co-Executive Producers! A thousand thank yous to you!
The countdown on Kickstarter clock has changed from days to hours and, as you will learn from just about any book on screenwriting, nothing motivates a character like a ticking clock!
None of this - and I TRULY mean NONE of this - would be possible without your help! It has been wonderful and inspiring and most of all EFFECTIVE!
For the next two days I humbly request you keep it up!
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!
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
