Official Die-ing Pan Teaser released!

Hey there, everyone! Today is October 31, better known to many candy-seeking dorks and scantly clad witches (or ANYTHING) as Halloween. On a day filled with a reputation for such horror and dread, it seemed fitting to release the teaser trailer for Cat cat Productions’ newest project in development, Die-Ing Pan! Watch the teaser below!

All of the episodes of Grape Flavored Waterslides: Season One equal something like eleven minutes, so we thought “Why not do a feature about a killer frying pan? It’s just nine times as much work!” I’m keeping the details of the Die-ing Pan under wraps, but I’ll let you know that it’s still  in the script development phase. Ralph and I thought that if we made a teaser to generate some buzz, people (like, our college friends) would be asking us about it and we’d be forced to finish it one day. See it as a self-enforced deadline. Of course, for the time being, there is no deadline for the film, and can only be worked on when both our work schedules allow us some free time (which they almost NEVER do!). It took Christopher Nolan something like a year to make Following, so we’ll probably be working on this for quite a while before it becomes anything tangible. But for now, we have the teaser and the promise of a script. That’s good enough for me. Oh yea, and Happy Halloween!

Keep an eye out for any Die-ing Pan updates in the near future!
