Cheesemint coverage of the MCM Expo 29/30th Oct 2011.

Well, it’s been quite some time since anything’s been updated on this page. So, what have we been up to since 13-Jul-2011? Well, in the last three and a half months, Adam, Georgie and Dave have launched new blogs, Debs has been writing diligently and Emma-Jane has been producing columns for Forces Of Geek. We’re also working hard on scripts for Series 2 of a certain webseries and trying to get our first episode of sketch show, Cheesebites. Outside of that, we’ve also filmed my silent movie, The Erased Line and a trailer has finally been uploaded to our YouTube channel. Don’t ask me when you can see the finished product, I haven’t got an answer for that yet; I hope this side of Christmas but I make no promises.

I’ll also be representing the ‘mints at the MCM Expo this weekend (29-Oct – 30-Oct) in London, on a panel discussing webseries. MCM is an enormous convention with around 60,000 attendees, so if you’re around and have a tenner to spare, come along and shout at me.

Thanks to those who still check this page regularly, the only reason for our silence is a busyness – we haven’t given up or anything like that. We’ll try to get a video reporting on the Expo up soon (I’d like to say first week of November), so look out for that.

In series two of Unlocked Alex Ryan is killed, becomes a ghost and haunts naked ladies

A new video by Cheesemint about the awesome videogame Portal 2.

Missed us? Yeah, we’ve missed you too. Promotion of Unlocked continues and the first episode of the CheeseBites is on the way. But a new project was brought to our attention. One with close ties to the early days of Cheesemint. One with a deadline. Naturally, we couldn’t turn it down and with only this weekend to film, we’re busying ourselves.

It’s a group effort devised by Adam Gunton, with Georgie Oatley in the lead role. Tis a promising feature and we’re sure you’ll enjoy it. And if you don’t, you can shove it up your arse.

As stated, this sucker’s got a deadline, so expect to see it online fairly soon, followed swiftly by Episode 1 of the CheeseBites.

It’s not something we talk about publicly but we are a fundless organisation. Everything we do is financed by whatever we can scrape together. Recently we were asked to make an appearance at both the Glasgow Kapow Comic-con and Indiana’s GenCon. Both offers were immensely flattering and we were happy to have Unlocked screened as well as providing any sort of supporting introductory videos or live feeds or whatever. But, I must confess, it’s a little depressing that we have difficulty making it to these events. You’d think between the seven of us, we’d find a way but with lean finances and full-time jobs, it’s a frustrating obstacle.

*sigh*

No reason for this mini-rant, just a little deflated at missed opportunities. In other news, Surreality is doing well, having been greatly received, the first episode of the CheeseBites is getting underway, as is continued writing for Unloc… (not talking about that.. shh!) and individual projects are being scripted. So, lots to look forward to, people.

Angel’s Kiss – Dead Duck – Surreality – The Erased Line – 5

At 9pm GMT on 27-May-2011, Surreality went live. There was a great deal of speculation as to what it was about — now you can find out for yourself.

This week’s upload will be the first episode of Digression Session – a series of conversational-style videos which feature one/two ‘mints analysing films, television shows, music, games, comics, etc. This week Adam Gunton and Matt Stogdon will be discussing Marvel’s Astonishing X-Men and DC’s All Star Superman.

Been to our site lately? Yes, it’s a touch outdated, I know. We’re all aware, don’t worry. After Dead Duck went online, the entire site was accurate and up-to-date but as the scheduling for Unlocked grew more and more, updating the website became less of a priority. This will be remedied soon (more than likely before 01-May-2011) with amended profiles and a slight restructuring.

Ever wondered where it all began? Now you can see this amusing condensed history of Cheesemint to date!

Enjoy!
