Adavara!

We should inform you that, at this time, mostly due to its massive size and cost, Trackers is not currently in production. We are pleased to announce, however, that another of my four projects, called "Adavara" is in production. As I mentioned in my last blog, I have four different projects that are linked as a series. The projects are related to one another by Bermuda Triangle "phenomena." Adavara, however, in spite of its small size, carries a powerful message everyone needs to see, hear, and heed. Please see our new website, Adavara.Weebly.com to learn more.

Direction

Believe it or not, we have been working on one of the four projects I've mentioned in earlier blogs. It will be brief (two videos) to guage audience interest. Since all four projects are connected via subject matter, following the resolution of rights issues, please stay tuned for some very interesting information and update on this project! You may also keep up with this development at trackers.weebly.com.

Important Notice

Anyone experiencing problems with the casting information page should leave me a message via the contact page on my website, Trackers.Weebly.com. Please note that if you answer all the questions on the form, I should receive the information with no problem. For the first webisode, we will need five main characters and one supporting character. Auditions are likely to be conducted via Skype. Please stay tuned for further developments on casting.

The Main Idea

One of the mistakes I believe I've made in designing this web series was to attempt to convert my original episodic series into a web series. Really? We'd be doing this forever! The first thing I did was to remove the poll from the web site. Not many people participated in it and, those who did, voted for us to put on the entire series. As I said before, that amounts to 110 episodes! So, I had to make some hard, yet realistic decisions. I figured, why not take the most outstanding displacements, break these down into manageable plots, and produce these videos? I know this means dismissing the first main plot. Even though it featured an evil mutant, it did not have anything to do with the mission of the team, which is: search and rescue beyond the Bermuda Triangle. This decision combines the best of both worlds: displacements and surrounding plots. It also cuts through early project development which would have slowed the progress of the series. One other fascinating eleme...

We Value Your Input

The truth of the matter is that, between 2006 and 2010, Trackers was developed and written as a series. There is a total of 110 episodes. The team visited 36 different parallel worlds, some multiple times. Rather than option Trackers and risk losing our rights, we decided to convert it into a web series and produce it ourselves, thus maintaining control over it. In 2014, I proceeded to break it down into the three main plots and produce only these. This meant slashing some 50 episodes. There is a problem with this. Many of these episodes contain displacements and re-directions. It seems unfair to jam most of these into the third season and does no justice to the show. Here, I realized Trackers was no longer recognizable and the viewers would not be served well, to say the least. Besides delayed displacements (or search and rescue) pieces, I also realized there are a number of episodes with relevant themes that do not deserve to be ignored. There are some episodes that can be eliminat...

Trackers: Coming to Your Business

South Florida, do you own and operate a restaurant, a golf course? How about a motel, office building, or furniture store? Or even a warehouse with a small space to spare? Then let us film a scene at your business. This is for our community, so please give this due consideration. Local merchants, we need your locations! Just imagine! A small corner of a room at your business could become the Navigation Room, where tracks to parallel worlds are set. And we will mention your business in the closing credits of the episode. If you are interested in helping, please contact me at trigenre3@gmail.com. (You can also reply on this page.) No elaborate filming equipment will be used and no special lighting is required. Just location....Interior and exterior.

Stories to Tell

What do you expect to see in a science fiction story? What exactly is science fiction anyway? Science fiction (or sci-fi) is a genre used to describe a type of story. As applied to Trackers, the "sci-fi" is not only the backdrop for the series, but also a conduit for the portrayal of the unfolding stories. The team needs the rifts and parallel worlds where these stories occur. Of course, there are no known "rifts" or parallel worlds. Certainly, we do not possess the technology to transport entire crews to locations which are not known to exist! This is the first of the two sci-fi elements of Trackers. The second would be breakthroughs in locating displaced air and sea craft and Daniel's unique methods for helping people find their way back to their respective home worlds. Thus, the tagline for Trackers is "Search and Rescue Beyond the Bermuda Triangle". The second genre, adventure, is present on the parallel worlds. This is the heart of Trackers. Ref...
