Season 2 Episode 1 of Samwel Sift, Post-Apocalypse Detective will premiere on October 31 2020.
For those who like talking about distribution and marketing plans, keep reading! Here is my plan. Please feel free to share any suggestions or opinions.
Before the first episode I am going to release three interviews where Adrian (the sound engineer) and I interview each other about the creation of Season 1. Think of these interviews as a soft-opening. It will allow me to track and see if I got all the feeds and such things correct. The first season I made several mistakes during distribution, which I won’t bore you with, but it took a while to unwind those issues.
The biggest change is we are changing the name to “Samwel Sift, Post-Apocalypse Detective.” I loved the name for our first season but “Detective Samel Sift’s Loved One Discovery or Recovery Services” proved to be too long and complicated things. At cons someone would be ready to type in the name on their phone and when I told them the name, they would just stare at me.
This season, Episode 1 will premiere on October 31, Halloween! After that we will release an episode every two weeks. With 6 episodes (and a mid-season update) we will be releasing the episodes and interviews from September to January. The first season we released them all at once. That was a mistake, if for no other reason, it makes it more challenging to have the episodes load into people’s devices in the correct order.
In the meantime, any friends, or supporters, if you know someone who might be interested, please send it their way! It would be nice to get a little movement in there, since we have not posted anything in the feed since 2018!
I want to thank all the cast and crew for their lending their talents and energy to our Second Season. I will be making a separate post about each one later, but thank you (Our Cast) Abigail Elfman, Rasheeda Moore, Elliott McDowell, Nick Shaner and Kylene Edison. Thank for Justin Evans for helping us record and working the board. Thank you Adrian Parish for Sound Engineering the season. Thank you, Scott McLaughlin, for the score. Thanks to SpaceBaby for the opening beat.
A huge Thank You to the Knight Foundation for the grant we received as one of 12 Celebrate Charlotte Arts grantees. This grant allowed us to pay all the actors and crew in this season. I think we really raised our game from the first season and this grant is a big reason why.
