Showing off how great the footage is this season.
Hey, we just wanted to give everyone a quick update on our second season.
We’ve officially started principal photography with a two day shoot last weekend. We’ve actually got all the footage for the series finale and a good chunk of the first episode. It was really strange to be filming the ending to the second season before filming anything else but that’s showbiz folks…or at least that was when we could get the equipment and some extras.
This season will consist of eight episodes, which is based off an arbitrary decision by George and myself that we felt we could write eight pretty good scripts. Like I just mentioned, we’ve started filming but won’t actually get another chance to film until next month at the soonest with the earliest release of episode 1 being December or January. We’re defenitely taking longer than we expected to get out the second season, but rest assured, it’s worth it.
George and I made a choice to take more time developing the second season because we wanted to put out a better product, and it is absolutely coming across in the footage we’ve already shoot. Check out the photo I took and you can see how great the video looks on the monitor.
Because updates are taking a bit longer to show up than I would like I highly encourage you to sign up for email updates so you’ll receive an email whenever there is site news. You can also follow the show on twitter as well as Tyler who plays Mike and helped create and write the show.

With nothing better to do, George and I have started working on the second season. We have some information about changes to the show that we’re not yet ready to share as they may or may not actually be happening. But so far we are making some pretty good progress. We have outlines for seven episodes and a rough draft of the season premiere.
The one thing I can say for certain is that this season will be leaps and bounds better. We have added two additional writers to the mix; Jake Carolan and Adam Hainlin, which now makes this the same writing team as our award-winning short film. Did I mention we won an award for that? We’re also more than doubling the amount of crew that will be helping shoot this season which should only help the final product.
So why are we telling you all this? Because we need your help. We’re currently making lists of people who are interested in providing support either in the way of being an extra (we won’t pay you, but you will get free food and award-winning beer…that’s right, I won an award for my beer) or more importantly, connecting us with businesses/people who would be interested in becoming a sponsor of the show. Extras will be needed in St. Cloud and the Twin Cities. If you can help out the show in any way shoot me an email and we can chat.
Last bit of self-promotion; don’t forget to follow OIWCS on twitter or subscribe on youtube!
