It’s been one year since we officially launched pre-production and while we made progress, there were setbacks. But all in all, it’s a year spent learning and getting us one step closer to bringing Houmans: The Series to life. 

Here’s the cliff notes version of our first year in pre-production:

• Started a podcast to document the process of making Houmans: The Series

• After recording two episodes, which will never be heard, we realized the podcast was taking too much time from producing Houmans, so we stopped.

• By mid-year, Houmans inadvertently became our full-time job — with no pay!

  • During this period we completed a treatment for Houmans: The Series, including a full breakdown and completed budget.

• We applied to two film grants:

  • From The Heart Productions

  • Screencraft’s 2019 Spring Film Fund

  • Unfortunately, we didn’t advance.

• Kept grinding away storyboarding and breaking down the series.

• Set up an online store to sell Houmans shirts.

• We both started new jobs, which slowed down pre-production. 

• Met with some producers to help us with pre-production (more on this soon).

And here we are one year later! We can’t wait to see what this year has in store for Houmans!
