May 29, 2015: Two weeks to the Dark Matter world premiere! A Jelly update!
"If this series not popular, I really can't believe." - Akemi last night after watching the producer's cut of episode #113, our season finale. Her words echo the sentiments of my writing partner who said pretty much the same thing, in less economical fashion, after viewing prod cuts of our first two episodes: "So, having seen…

Check 'em out. A day too late for the wrap party, but pretty awesome nevertheless - my custom-made Hieronymous Bosch Garden of Earthly Delights tie suit from The Knotty Tie Company (http://www.knottytie.com).

May 20, 2015: And that’s a wrap on Dark Matter’s first season!
Annnnnnd we're done! More or less. I've still got my producer cuts of episode #112 and #113 to complete, all the mixes to sit through, and visual effects to approve but, for all intents and purposes, production on Dark Matter's first season is complete. It's hard to believe that this time last year, I honestly…
April 17, 2015: Behind the scenes on your new favorite show – Dark Matter! And a Jelly update!
Because you asked, extra nicely, here's a picture of Dark Matter's Commander Truffault of the Mikkei Combine (Torri Higginson) standing alongside ONE (Marc Bendavid). Wait. Is that the mess hall? What is she doing onboard the ship? Consulting Producer Ivon Bartok was looking a little piqued so we placed him in quarantine. Nighty night to our brave little…
