CATCH gearing up for relaunch

The basic concept is this:


Think DEXTER meets SERENDIPITY

or

HE'S JUST NOT THAT INTO YOU meets MR BROOKS

CATCH is a dark comedy that features Anne Judson Yager (BRING IT ON AGAIN, MINORITY REPORT) and Trevor Jones (NOTHING YOU'VE SEEN) as MAGGIE and JERRY, two star-crossed serial killers looking for love online.

What will it take to satisfy their quest for true love. How far will they go to find it? Are they destined to find each other? And will that magical moment be AN AFFAIR TO REMEMBER? Or more like ALIEN VS PREDATOR? FREDDY VS JASON? MR.AND MRS. SMITH? And wait... what are they doing with all the bodies?

By the way, Maggie's father, Mike Fisk (Played by Bill Oberst JR.), is a former contract killer for one of LA's most powerful underground crime lords. Mike has recently been released back into society after serving a 25 year sentence at San Quentin. His one misson in the real world is to establish a relationship with his long lost daughter.

Ok, so while I do have a few episodes out there in the Universe, available for public consumption, I am in the middle of orchestrating a RE-LAUNCH of CATCH... the entire series, with new cuts of existing episodes (shorter, quicker, new music), and BRAND NEW episodes... EIGHT episodes total to mark a first season halfway point.... and it's all in the oven...almost ready.

Here is a link to a trailer for the series that is available on Youtube...

The super special, super assorted CATCH All Star team has been hard at work getting it all together. The following is an email passed along to ICE's super talented sound designer DL Eric Bucklin....

Hey...

last song buddy... then we will have officially replaced every song previously used in the original CATCH 6 mix....

So... STARE TO THE SUN, by BOY/GIRL.... This song will be for the hard opening of CATCH 6... Living under the CATCH DOT COM banner ads (front and back).... if we use the first 29 seconds of the song...Then fade it out and match it with the first 29 seconds of CATCH..

We ALSO use the LAST 40 seconds of the song to close out the episode... instead of what's there...THEN we have a proper front and back end... nice little bookends.

Give it a listen and you'll see what I'm talking about...

Plus the title STARING AT THE SUN...as everyone peers into their laptop monitors... I LIKE it!

Keep in mind .. the CATCH 6 intro as it stands is only 15 seconds long... So we will need to make room for 3 title pages (Indie City Entertainment presents) (in association with Issara Films) (CATCH) that we will stagger... creating a 29 second opening to match the music...

We need to add those opening tiles anyway... it will work beautifully

Does that all make sense?

call me if you are confused...



Be on the lookout for the CATCH web series re-launch...scheduled for mid to late April.
