Got an update about BU. I know a producer online, Philip Jackson. He's the co-owner of Starfield Indie, a Canadian production company based in Toronto, Ontario. His credits include A Winter Tan, Men of Means, The Cusp, Falling Fire, Carver's Gate, The Deadly Wake, Shepherd 1 & 2, Ice Planet, Longshot, Wish You Were Dead, and Starhunter. I may have mentioned him before. He's a really nice guy, and he's always open to new ideas. I was gonna pitch to him BU by making a short video of me explaining the storyline with some illustrations overlaid every now and then. I'm hoping that a small budget attached to it may help attach an animator. And Andrew Lee Potts, he's not too busy right now.

Unfortunately, there's one thing that's stopped me from doing that... Stranger Things.

It's just too similar to Stranger Things. Oh yes, there are plenty of narrative differences - the lead characters and their age range, the setting, the timeframe, but the main plot points about it - a group of young people investigating paranormal activity and a gifted young telepath being chased by a sinister government agency - it's all the same. Nobody's going to believe that my idea came first now that it's come out, even if I have the proof to back it up. I'm sorry, there's just no way...
