Okay! So here’s the status:

Minushi is in distribution limbo right now. It is in the courts of the distributors and we’re just waiting for the bidding war to start… Heh.

So, in the interim I’ve had a chance to produce some short documentary-esque videos which I hope will answer a lot of the questions I’ve received over the years about how I produced Minushi. I call the documentary:

“Details: Making a Movie Called Minushi”

It’s a little less enigmatic a title than “Minushi,” I know. But hey, it is a documentary.

The doc, divided into eight installments, will be released online (of course!) here on Minushi.com (“Making Of” Section) as well as popular video portals like Revver and YouTube, among others. I hope there’s something in these installments that will amuse you or maybe give you some hints in your own projects. Anyway, without further ado, here’s the first installment of “Details:”

Installment 1: What is Minushi?

Let me know what you think!

My Cake

This is a cake I received the other day from Tara, (the voice of Bellona in Minushi). The card on top reads: “Congratulations on Completing Minushi!”

Thanks Tara!

I had my cake and ate it too.

And yes, it’s true, Minushi is in the can! So in the coming months you won’t have to wait for intermittent log updates about how the production is going, you’ll have to wait months for intermittent updates on how the search for a distributor is going.

The plan is this, my friends: Minushi is currently being submitted to a select bunch of Film Festivals and I am set to begin production on a series of short “Making Of” documentaries which will be launched online on this site over the coming months. And with any luck I’ll also be getting the word out there to people who are fans of Minushi but just haven’t heard of it yet. I’d also like to release all those goodies I’ve been promising, like Minushi wallpaper, downloads and mp3s of music from Minushi. In the meantime, we’ll be finding distribution for the feature length motion picture so that you out there can enjoy 94 minutes of Minushi like you’ve never seen it before as well as see how it all turns out in the end!

Until then!
