What a Year

It's been a breathless year so far here at Powderhouse. We recently completed an 8-hour order for Science Channel (Build It Bigger) which won its night handily every time. We also delivered a high gloss, special effects laden six hour series for Discovery (Mega-Engineering) and a ten hour series for Animal Planet (Dogs 101 - another big ratings winner) As I write this, we're hot and heavy in production on a new 20 episode order for Animal Planet (top secret) as well as a second batch of Dogs 101. We've got two series pilots in production for History and a boatload of tasters, treatments, and proposals out to the market. We've also switched agencies, and are thrilled to now be repped by Creative Artists Agency (CAA), the best in the biz.

And its only July.

Coming up in the second half? We expect to maintain the pace and then some, but with the added thrill of working in construction zone. It looks like we're about to break drywall on a sparkling new 14,000 foot facility, which will streamline our workflow and just be totally cool. Since we do so many construction shows, I expect we'll be right at home as the plaster flies. Watch this space for future developments, random ravings and musings by me and others, and of course, brilliant industry insight from beautiful downtown Somerville, MA.
