In May 2015, we took EKKO to BEA and pimped our goods at North America’s biggest book fair. We followed up with two days of Book Con, which was one big ass convention. It was awesome, energetic, and filled with creative people, some looking for stories. In addition to the Sci-Fi wheel and shitloads of candy, we handed out screenplay treatments to a few professionals in the ‘biz’.
EKKO went from the convention to an option offer, at which time we began commencing on a movie screenplay. After six months of trying to squeeze
1000 pages of story into a movie, we regrouped and focused on a series.
Though no longer optioned, we’re on track with a series and things are working out better than before. We’re excited about the Pilot, “Follow the Stones” and we’re having readings, speaking with wicked cool film peeps, and Pitching this wild series. If you’ve read the books, you know the stage shows are out there to say the least. We're planning on bringing the fantastical concerts to the screen, along with your favorite paranormal pals, like Clarise, Bob Dustin, the Grande Dame of the spirit world, Janie B, and most definitely Mr. 5008. (What a ham.)
