Hey everyone.
Been a while, again, since I've updated here - mostly because I knew that a majority of what I had to say about the series would either be seen on my Twitter, tumblr, or on the Stan Frederick thread on unForum. Given recent events though, only one of those sites remain for me, and I'm not allowed to directly post on my own thread in it.
I've deleted 80% of my social media as of November 9th. This includes Facebook, Twitter, tumblr, Vine, and Instagram. All I have left are Snapchat (evansantiago) and ask.fm, which are just off the radar enough for me. I suggest you guys go and subscribe to all my YouTube stuff now that I'm going to be a little less... everywhere. Main / Vlog / BTS / Stan Frederick
It was for a number of reasons - one of which being that this abysmal election (its entirety, leading up to its results, everything) left the internet as an environment of venomous hostility, and I'm not about that. Those of you that know me know that I try my best to remain positive despite my depression, and that kind of attitude just isn't possible in this climate. It's not. I'm not even my best in that situation, and I'm sure a lot of people have seen a shitty side to me because of all that. It's mentally unhealthy for me, so I've cut it down.
The other most prominent reason I deleted my social media is because I've been meaning to. I first had the idea in early 2015 when I realized how distracted I was becoming with Twitter, and how much I wanted to get done with film projects and school. I was reluctant to, however, just because I enjoyed these media so much and didn't want to give up on communicating with the small community I had following me. Fast-forward to mid-2015, post-Night Mind coverage, when my viewer base suddenly grew even more... I just didn't want to give it up. Thankfully, the aforementioned post-election hostility made that decision much easier for me. And so, here we are.
With that out of the way let's talk about Stan Frederick - the thing all three of you are still here for.
I need to clarify CONSTANTLY that, this season is being produced with the exact same mindset that its predecessor was; it is NOT confirmed to be released until every single episode has been shot and edited. Until that first episode of the second season drops on the Stan Frederick channel, as far as you or I are concerned, "20. Just Another Monster" is the series finale. You feel me?
THAT SAID,
Four episodes are completely finished (that's written, filmed, and edited - completely done!) thus far, out of the season's projected twenty. There were more I had finished, though I'm sad to report that a lot of them were lost in yet another hard drive crash of mine recently. Those episodes will have to be re-shot, which is unfortunate because I really liked the originals. Guess I'll just have to do it better!
Nineteen out of the twenty episodes have at LEAST first drafts written (one might take a long time to write for reasons I can't exactly specify), and fifteen out of twenty have been punched up and finalized in writing. Based on the scripts alone (I can't speak for how they'll look after they're completely filmed) this season is easily better than season one. There's more going on thematically, narratively, and in terms of characters. I'll let you guys be the real judges of that though, if this ever comes to fruition.
Feel free to share this on your Twitters and tumblrs as well, since I can't do that anymore - post it to unForum, whatever! I don't usually feel obligated to ask, but with my sudden disconnection it's going to be a lot harder to keep in touch outside what's left.
See you guys soon! Updates will be more frequent here!
