Web Store now Open!

FIRST: Thanks to YOU, we’ve updated our IMDb page for short film Reasons I Hate Being Single officially to pre-production! Whoo!

SECOND: We now have the very basics covered to make the movie, but of course we’re NOT making a basic movie. So: have a look at the extraordinary and unique items in our webstore. You’ll find signed play scripts from screenwriter Heather, and the one-of-a-kind storyboards leading to Heather’s first short, Monster Cat!

Thank you again to everyone tuning into the Write-a-Thon livestream this weekend. The resulting play has now been entered into the Alberta Playwriting Competition, and if it wins, the prize money will go towards the production of Reasons I Hate Being Single.

Last: Thanks also to everyone who pre-ordered from the Purdy’s Easter Bunny! Deliveries are expected the week of April 3.

Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow is the Write-a-Thon!

Tomorrow is the day! Starting at 6 pm, and going straight through to 6 pm on March 25, 2023, YOU can tell ME how to write something brand new!

One more important ‘rule’ – post your prompts on the YouTube chat, and donate here on the Take a Bite website. Technology is complicated.

Also: should you want to help make our film Reasons I Hate Being Single and buy Easter chocolate, tomorrow is also your last day to order.

Vroom vroom.
