2012 is here and Mr. Lobo is glad to say things are back on track!

In case you heard it here first, my assistant and collaborator, Dixie Dellamorto and "Mr. Lobo" got married on January 13th of this year. This has forged a deeper partnership and we are now a deadly two headed art machine of creative justice!

We have a new editing system and several new production companies, including LEOMANN PICTURES and RANDORI PRODUCTIONS, helping to finish the remaining shows to meet our lofty goal of 26. We have a shooting day next Tuesday and Sunday these teams can help edit as well. A new horror channel that we cannot yet name has also promised to supply studio time and resources starting in May.

As you know, 2011 was a rough year for the show and many people close to the show, with more pitfalls than promise and many doors closing in our face that have been open for a long time. If it wasn't for your Kickstarter donations, I'm not sure how Cinema Insomnia would have survived. After our newest episode, a crisis of crew and computers, teamed with family health issues, and our resale DVD distribution hitting bottom resulted in a need for restructuring from the ground up.

We now control all remaining DVDs, which still were still selling well in person and are offering signed and number copies of the last few APPREHENSIVE FILMS versions of the shows. 25% discount is offered to all Kickstarter donors who email Mr. Lobo with any requests for episodes they want on DVD.

In September we will start mailing out all Kickstarter rewards, even if we do not yet have 26 new shows in the rotation. Thank you for your incredible support and patience... 

In the meantime, we are sticking to our guns, writing, producing, and editing shows...for a brave new world beyond the DVD market. We will be keeping in continual contact with the fans through our new website CinemaInsomnia.com with a calendar that will post production dates as well as live appearances. New shows will also be posted there. Please contact us with any feedback and let us know how we can make the site more useful and enjoyable....

A MESSAGE FROM GENRE COMPOSER MARS ABOUT THE NEW CINEMA INSOMNIA THEME!

Greetings CInsomniacs-

Mars from Dead House Music here. I recently had the distinct pleasure of "Re-Imagining" (Um...that's the preferred Hollywood catch phrase for exploiting great works of the past , right?) the CINEMA INSOMNIA theme music for this, the 10th anniversary season--begining SEPTEMBER 24TH.

Mr. Lobo & I talked back & forth about just how to properly update the music that has served so nobly thru the last decade and hundred plus episodes of the show. Ultimately, I decided to build upon the original piece (titled “ Stompin' at 3 am” by Stan Fong) rather than re-do it from the ground up. This way the core elements of the music would remain intact, and would be shown the proper respect. I added more guitars, Hammond organ, and horns, as well as some vintage Moog synth and the piece-d'resistance ...a theremin. Nothing quite sez "Weird" like that wonderful swirling mainstay of sci-fi soundtracks worldwide.

I sincerely hope the fans will enjoy this new theme as much as I enjoyed working on it.

Here is to (at least) another 10 years of CINEMA INSOMNIA!
