When I added a blog to the site, I thought I'd be better at using it. But to bring you up to speed, I've gotten involved in whatever projects I can get involved in, such as Long Beach Playhouse's annual Plays in a Day festival back in March, as well as being an extra in a music video for the No More Kings song, 1.21 Gigawatts.
But I find myself coming back to a passion project I began at the height of the COVID-19 lockdown: A Night in the Mansion, a spec script inspired by the classic Disneyland attraction, the Haunted Mansion. A shorter, 6-minute version exists under the "Writing" tab of the website.
While work began on the project during lockdown in 2020, and a partial animatic was created in 2021, the idea wouldn't leave me alone, which led to recruiting old friends and new ones to help bring the idea to (after)life.
Progress on the project can be viewed on Instagram through the page @nightinthemansionfanfilm, where you can also find some of our cast and crew. It probably goes without saying, but this project is not affiliated with the Walt Disney Company or any of its subsidiaries and affiliates, including but not limited to: Walt Disney Pictures, Walt Disney Imagineering, or Disney Parks, Experiences, and Products, and is being created for our own enjoyment as well as the enjoyment of other Disney fans.
