Tubefilter: Interview With Streamy-Winning Director Blake Calhoun
by CJP Digital
Tubefilter: What can you tell us about your next web series project, Exposed? What has it been like working with McG?
Calhoun: Pink really opened a lot of doors for Mike and I. We sold the show to Generate and subsequently got to produce 25 more episodes (Seasons 2 and 3) and right now we're in talks to do a new Season 4. We'll hopefully have news about this soon. We also got to go around town and pitch several other ideas and sold one to Warner Bros. and TheWB.com. We've had the great opportunity to work with the studio along with McG's company Wonderland Sound and Vision on this new project (McG is the Exec Producer). We're currently finishing it up right now and will be able to speak more about it in the near future. But I think fans of Pink and our "dark-thriller" brand will enjoy the show.
Tubefilter: Anything else coming up for you?
Calhoun: I just wrapped (in June) directing my fourth feature film called Spilt Milk. It's a wry comedy about a disgruntled grocery store manager whose life gets forever changed one fateful evening when his store gets robbed. It stars Jake Johnson from the Drunk History YouTube videos and this summer's indie hit Paper Heart (with Charlyne Yi and Michael Cera) and also Chase Jeffery who is the lead in Exposed. The film already has distribution and will be released sometime in 2010.
Next up in the new media realm I'm directing a sci-fi/thriller called Continuum that we're planning to shoot late this fall and release next spring. Wilson Cleveland and CJP Digital Media are working with us on this project. I'm really excited about this series as I'm getting to work in another genre and also we've decided to produce this ourselves as an independent, like we did with the first season of Pink. We're going to give owning our content a try again and see how it works out.
