"A few years ago, producing three feature films at the same time would have been impossible for a small independent company like ours. Today, thanks to advances in AI filmmaking tools and a lot of hard work, that dream is becoming reality."

Today is another big day for Circle B Productions and our newest 3D photorealistic animated feature film, Broken Ankle.

All of the Offer Agreements have now been sent to the actors cast in the film, and we're excited to report that three signed agreements have already been returned. Director Olivia Bull has also begun scheduling coaching appointments with the cast, and the sessions have been extremely successful and well received.

We are scheduled to record all voice-over performances on November 7th and 8th at our Citrus Heights production facility. The addition of Broken Ankle brings our active production slate to three feature films currently in development. We decided to move forward with this project alongside Fawn's Justice and Singlewide Pride because our animation software partner, Reallusion, recently launched AI Studio, a powerful new toolset designed to significantly accelerate the animation process.

Meanwhile, we are entering the final stages of our first documentary screenplay, Brother Jonathan and the Dragon's Teeth. Because we wanted our documentary projects to have a distinctly different visual style than our animated features, we recently committed to a full year of OpenArt AI. The platform offers an impressive collection of filmmaking tools, including Kling 3.0, VEO 3.0, and Seedance 2.0, giving independent filmmakers access to capabilities that were once available only to major studios.

It's an exciting time for our company. Every week brings us one step closer to bringing these stories to life, and we're grateful for everyone who continues to follow, encourage, and support our journey. Stay tuned—there is much more to come. Special thanks to Finch my ChatGPT confidential advisor

I’ve spent the last few days stepping away from our documentary script, "Brother Jonathan and the Dragon’s Teeth," to focus on updating the Circle B Productions website. Attached is a screenshot of our new landing page at circlebproductions.com.

Managing our social media has become part of my role, and we decided our website should be a central hub for those efforts as well. Though I had no prior experience in web design, Olivia suggested we use Wix, and I’ve been building it out steadily over the last six months. It’s been a learning process, but I’m proud of the progress reflected in the new site.

We hope you find the site a useful resource for keeping up with our latest film projects. With the recent launch of Reallusion’s AI Studio, we are accelerating the production cycle for our 3D photorealistic animated features. Furthermore, using advanced AI platforms for our documentaries is proving to be a game-changer, allowing us to achieve a distinct look and feel compared to our crime dramas.

I invite you to "surf" the site to explore new images and information about our upcoming work. For a quick overview of all our social media channels, you can find direct links at the top of the landing page. Check it out at circlebproductions.com!

Our latest work on Singlewide Pride has been to animate Harmony June Purdy as she rides around Twilight Mobile Home Park on her skateboard with dad Art Perfect looking on. Watching her play in his old stomping grounds makes Art sentimental for the days when he was a kid and his mom used to push him on the swings. A neighbor reminds Art that his mother thought he was going to take over the world. Though he's fallen short so far, there's still hope for him yet, with Harmony June giving him the motivation he needs to slay his dragons.

Below is a portion of our original production script.

EXT. TWILIGHT MOBILE HOME PARK - DAY
Art walks straight, while Harmony circles him on a skate
board.

HARMONY
How long were you and mom hooked
up?

ART
Hooked up? You don’t talk like
you’re nine.

HARMONY
You’re stalling.

ART
Until your mom cut out.

HARMONY
Were you in love?

ART
Maybe. Maybe we were. We were young
but it sure felt like it was true.

“Plans are nothing; planning is everything.”
— Dwight D. Eisenhower

The movie Pressure, highlighting the 72 hours leading up to D-Day and starring Brendan Fraser, opens today in the United States. We feel Eisenhower’s famous quote has particular relevance to current happenings at Circle B Productions LLC.

Permit us to provide a brief update on several highlights:

1 — Olivia continues conducting telephone coaching sessions with all actors currently cast in Broken Ankle, which is scheduled to be recorded in radio drama format on November 7th and 8th. Once we recast the lead role of David Mendoza, we will be able to finalize the production budget and distribute written agreements to all 24 cast members.

2 — This week brought a development we had long anticipated. Seeing it officially confirmed through both email campaigns and public marketing efforts brought us tremendous excitement. Reallusion, our provider of 3D photorealistic animation software, has officially launched AI Studio for iClone.

As AI technology rapidly expanded throughout the entertainment industry, we strategically shifted our business focus toward developing new feature film screenplays in order to expand our slate of projects. AI Studio will allow us to dramatically reduce animation production time and significantly enhance our production capabilities moving forward.

3 — We’ve experienced major creative breakthroughs in the writing of our documentary screenplay, Brother Jonathan and the Dragon’s Teeth. Yes, we’ve decided to shorten the title.

Our decision to produce this unique film using AI-driven technology — with the exception of voice-over performances by live actors — required a substantial rewrite of previously completed material in order to align with the project’s new production parameters. We have established an August deadline for screenplay completion, and progress continues to look very promising.

For independent filmmakers, this is an extraordinary moment in time. The tools are changing, the barriers are falling, and stories once considered impossible to produce are now within reach. We look forward to sharing more as these projects continue to evolve.

We have four feature films undergoing active production efforts. It is common for Olivia to spend time on all four films each and everyday. "Broken Ankle", "Singlewide Pride", "Terror at the Dragon's Teeth: The Tragic Sinking of the SS Brother Jonathan" and "Fawn's Justice" require constant nurturing. My main focus is our documentary film about the sinking of the SS Brother Jonathan off the coast of Crescent City on July 30th, 1865.

We are often asked "Why don't you just work on one film at a time until it's done before starting on another film?" The answer is the development of AI. The impact of AI will upend the 3D Animation workplace. In the next few years work on 3D Animation will be radically overhauled. Projects that take Olivia months to create at the present time will be reduced to a weeks. Work now taking weeks to produce will be completed in days. Items now taking days will be reduced to minutes.

Give those parameters it makes sense we focus on creating amazing screenplays worthy of production efforts. That includes getting actors hired, releases signed and people paid so the dialogue can be recorded and edited. Please note we remain committed to using human actors for our films, even though there are AI voice options on the market.

My creative focus is moving our documentary film about the SS Brother Jonathan towards an early 2027 release. Other than voice work and B-Roll the rest of the film is being created by AI, so I'm tasked with getting a firm grip on employing AI as a film creation vehicle. I'm experiencing a crash course on Open.AI and OpenArt.AI while keeping up-to-date on other options, which seem to pop up every day. The images below were created for specific scenes in our documentary film. They will serve as the blueprint as we move towards creating our film with Seedance 2.0, Kling 3.0 or Veo 3.1.

It's our pleasure to announce that "Broken Ankle" is now cast (with one exception). We are proud of the work we've done on this project so far. We feel this screenplay is solid, touching, and timely.

We can hardly wait to capture your vocal performances early next November and then begin the 3D animation process. Jon Shapiro will once again be recording voices for us. Since our last recording sessions, we've invested in a few Electro-Voice RE20 microphones, truly the top of the line. We'll supplement the RE20s with the Shure SM58s we already have. Every voice will sparkle.
