Just When You Thought We'd Forgotten...

Yeah, it has been a long time since there has been news of which to speak of, and this week there are suddenly two things to bring to people's attention.

The first is more immediate, the second is directly relevant to Beast.

The first item...

You may recall it being mentioned here about On Infertile Ground.  It is a documentary about the fertility industry and the effects of infertility on couples who suffer from it.  It is being produced and directed by C.S. John, who was one of the producers on Beast and a number of people involved in Beast has worked on it, or are slated to do work on it before it is done.  It is Infertility Awareness Week and thus this is a hot topic again.  Additionally, two months ago the John family added a pair of twins to their lives.  It was a long and hard fought journey to get to that point and it makes me very happy to welcome those two little girls into the world of two old friends who I've known since high-school.  They all appeared together on Global TV a few days ago to talk about their experience and the documentary.  (As of this writing there is a small issue with the video - there is a false start that lasts about a minute before the video starts for real... perhaps that will be fixed soon and this parenthetical will be rendered pointless.)

The second item...

...Is mostly a tease.  We couldn't move forward on streaming options for Beast until after our contract with SuperChannel expired.  Once that happened it took some time for us to assess the options that were available.  That is now done and we have plans for the fall.  Hopefully before the end of September... but that is not solid as of yet.  I can't really reveal more specific details at this time - in part because they barely exist, and also because there may be other significant events over the summer that should rightfully be revealed first.  So look out for those details yet to come.
