A few people have noted that I’m blogging again more frequently. They are correct.

Or, at least, I’m trying.

A few other people have also noted, however, that I’m not talking much about Cyan’s movies on the blog (and haven’t since the start of production on our Yankees film, The Keeper of the Pinstripes, a year and a half back). They’re also correct.

Fortunately, Cyan is very busy. We’re currently in production with one film and in pre-production on another, and are pulling together a new venture fund for non-movie investing.

However, blogging about the fund puts me in dicey territory regarding SEC regulation of public solicitation.

Whereas saying anything at all about specific movies seems to somehow piss off somebody, somewhere, who’s somehow crucial to the film getting made or released. I’ve by now determined that whatever small promotional bump I can drive through this blog is more than offset by the headaches that produces.

So, in short, don’t expect to see much movie stuff – or even, really, Cyan stuff in general – around here any time soo.

[And, in answer to the specific questions I get about Keeper: it’s not dead, it’s just slower moving (by far) than we expected, having already been ‘lapped’ by other films we started later and have already theatrically released. Hang in there.]

Finally, while I’m totally smitten with this new, clean, single-column design, it does make for a strange intermixing of real blog posts and salmagundi links.

I’ve also been trying to Tweet more frequently (see @joshuanewman), and have been posting links there in parallel.

Going forward, I’m going to try only posting links on the Twitter feed. If that ruins your life, please complain vigorously, as I’m still on the fence about this and might go back to posting links / videos / etc. here, too.
