I've been wanting to have a blog for some time now, just so people can read my thoughts on various projects/episodes etc. Instead of making another website, I thought I would just have a forum dedicated to a "blog", if you will. So here I am, my first blog post!
The main reason I am doing this blog today is to announce the return of Absolute Productions. A brief history on the AP: my brother Patrick and I created the AP back in 2003ish, when we wanted to have a community of series come together and talk/chat about our series. We had the EpiGuide, but we wanted something else. We ended up pairing with Ty Junior (from The Mysteries of Our Lives) and his magazine, OSW to create the Absolute Productions Network. ODaaT then went on hiatus in mid 2004, and Ty kept the APN/OSW going on his own. When I brought ODaaT back in 2009, I returned to the APN because it felt like going home, since Patrick and I were co-creators. We ended up having a number of different series on the APN, including Bex Aaron's Independence Day, Allan Craig's Heart & Soul, Kelly Zollo's West Lake and a few others. I ended up leaving the APN in 2010 and soon, the network collapsed altogether.
I never thought about bringing it back until recently because I have ODaaT, Pender Island (which has one season out already) and now I'm about to release a new series called Chasing Diamonds...so I wanted to have a network to umbrella all my series. It seemed very natural for me to bring my network back that I originally created. After talking with it with a couple of close friends and with Patrick, the AP is back! I will have a website launched soon, but right now, I am focused on the final editing of Chasing Diamonds!
I hope you're all excited as I am about the AP's return!
Until next time,
Dallas
