Fourteener Films, Denver - Independent Film Makers

Fourteener Films is a new independent film production company based in beautiful Denver, Colorado.

We are currently writing a series working-titled Arkangels. The series began almost a decade ago as the brainchild of Fourteener Films co-founder David C. Riley. David wrote the original screenplay and shot about half of the feature before scrapping the project for logistical reasons.

Fourteener Films is resurrecting the original story with a few new twists. Keep checking in for our first season release.

Scattered Brain is Screenwriting Bane

I'm scattered all over the place. It's funny because just at the beginning of the week I had this marvelous creative break through and I am working through it now. The problem isn't block or anything. It's more like I have all of these ideas on what should link the beginning to the middle and the middle to the end.

David provided me with some powerful stuff for the end of our first season. The beginning at this point is a splicing of his stuff and a touch of mine. The middle is a good mix of both. But the linkage is proving to be difficult to work through. I'm in the middle of redoing an outline because the changes are quite dramatic given the new stuff for the last few scenes of the season finale.

Perhaps the way we decided to go about this is too far forward thinking. I think I need to step away for a day or two. What I am finding to be the toughest thing about this whole webisode format we've settled on is the length. Trying to support such a complex hierarchy of story arcs with under 30 minute episodes - each needing to be self contained isn't easy. I see why most more complex shows need episodes to be an hour long.
