In an effort to expand our operations, and to get back to actual activity, we're now venturing into the theatre business. In co-operation with VU University Amsterdam's English department, we're developing a stageplay entitled Heaven forfend! Written by Remy L. Overkempe, and produced by Overkempe and Lenette Vlasman, we're currently aiming for a winter 2010 première. Currently, the production's very low-key, and casting and location scouting still has to be done, but when more information is present, we will keep you updated.

P.S. Today we launched our new website. Goodbye, clutter, hello, fresh breathable air.

In an attempt to streamline the organisation, and to move towards actual production instead of constant pre-production-hell, we're axing several of our projects. At the time of writing, eight projects are stuck in our production tunnel, and none are making any significant progress.

"Coats As Gifts" will be terminated, and the following productions will be suspended indefinitely: "The Dawn Project" and "Taking Care of Drama" (both Overkempe Studios productions), and from Martian Prince Studios, "The Prince of Mars and the Red Planet Gala" and "Areligious."

This leaves three productions, "Heavy-Hearted," "The Scotch" and "Sorrow/Misery," all currently Overkempe Studios productions. To make the organisation more effective and efficient, all productions will be moved to Martian Prince, with the exception of "Heavy-Hearted" which will be overseen by both Martian Prince and Overkempe Studios. This leaves Overkempe Studios as a distribution label, whereas Martian Prince will function as the film production company.

The changes will go into effect on May 31, 2009.
