Exactly one year from the day we began shooting Episode 1, "Tom Tita, Come Home," most of the cast and crew gathered at the Dragonfly Cinema to watch Episodes 7 through 12 close out the first season of "Ghost Sniffers"... making it's final transition into Season 2 and the new title, "Epic Heroes."
The night was about being the first to witness the new episodes (which won't post online until next week), about snapping up exclusive character trading cards, eating popcorn, and learning more about the Kraken and Maxmilian than we ever thought possible.
But more than anything else, the night was about friendship. The cast of the show is spread throughout Washington State and yet many of them have become fast friends, trying to keep in touch via Facebook and texting. Shooting days and big screen premiere nights are their only chance to catch up in person, hug, laugh, murmur in-jokes and treat each other with the respect, love and team spirit that they may not find elsewhere.
So, just in these ways alone, the night was a success.
But wait. There's more.
With the help from our business sponsors -- Empire Pizza, Amy's on the Bay, and Blue Boots Farm -- and help from the cast popcorn sales, DVD, script and merchandise sales, and the raffled chocolates from Carter's, the cast and crew earned $300 profit on that one night. That's after the cost of the cinema, the cost of the posters, swag bags and merchandise. $300 pure profit.
And you know what that means?
Episode 1 of Season 2 will begin its countdown toward POSTING on Monday morning. Jennifer will start writing the script. Casting will be completed. The search for locations will begin. We need only $1200 in total to create the entire episode so that means just $800 more and we'll rock the world with Season 2!
What can you do to help? Sell fancy popcorn! Email Bridget for an order form at ourepicheroes@gmail.com. We're speeding right into Season 2, folks, and there's no stopping us now ;D
