Your Favorite New Show

Posted by Jerry Gordon in Blog

It doesn’t get more underground than this.  Demo footage for a proposed pilot.  I pass it along because it’s got style to burn.  Think of a 60’s version of Ocean’s Eleven…that’s 2260’s!  Hints of Firefly and Cowboy Bebop abound.  Take a look and let Mike know what you think.  Show

Final Drafts

Posted by Jerry Gordon in Blog, Severed Dreams, Work In Progress

The draft of Severed Dreams has emerged from its second round of writing group critiques (insert awe inspiring music here).  While the group was pouring over the novel, I brought in a few unconventional readers to give me an opinion on a very specific question.
The novel was always intended to be

Dances with Na'vi

Posted by Jerry Gordon in Blog, Reviews

I got a nudge from a friend at Fox followed by an invitation to see about twenty minutes of James Cameron’s new movie, Avatar.  The footage, I had been told, was revolutionary.  The movie represented a quantum leap in visual effects.  The hyperbole wasn’t coming from the studio.  It was coming

Posted by Jerry Gordon in Blog

William Bradford, speaking in 1630 of the founding of the Plymouth Bay Colony, said that all great and honorable actions are accompanied with great difficulties, and both must be enterprised and overcome with answerable courage.
If this capsule history of our progress teaches us anything, it is that man, in his

APEX Magazine Returns

Posted by Jerry Gordon in Blog

I’m a big fan of stubborn determination and great fiction, so it’s nice to see both coming together in a new issue of Apex Magazine.  After moving the magazine from print to the web, Jason Sizemore put it on temporary hiatus.  The break turned out to be a short one and the magazine
