We put a new poll up on the Pahala Shore website, so far some interesting opinions/concerns/ideas/suggestions.
We're in the process of moving the older episodes to a new server, since we need more space now. So seasons 1 and season 2 will be moved to the yahoo groups server. Seasons 3-4 all take place six months after the last scene in season 2.
The Gloria Show is filmed and edited. We need to send in the episodes to the network. Yes, we were able to film two episodes. One episode is time sensative, the other is sort of a "filler" show and not very time sensative.
Pahala Shore has two more episodes this season, then we take an hiatus until August. We still have one more storyline to work through before scripts can be sent out and then we need to have the sets built, but that can happen later.
Adventures of a Bride will start filming so that it can aire this summer during the Pahala Shore hiatus.
The broadcast shows are being put on the back burner until we can work out the technical issues. Our airwaves are not coinciding with the local stations as our shows are not turning up on the tv screens. I should ask around and do some research about the technical side of things.
I have meetings all day today-it's the end of the month, so I need to check in on all of my projects.

Moving Along
The "Adventures" cast arrived this weekend and we were able to process them thru immigration and issue out work visas. The wardrobe crew is hard at work with them and we need to do the hair of a few members as well. Then of course the sets need to be built and filming needs to start soon.
Filmed a test episode of the new cooking show (approximately 30 sim-minutes) for the local broadcast station. Will have residents give thier opinions about the show during the next simday. We're also accepting commercials from local businesses. Short 15sec segments only.
Pahala Shore is back filming. The cast members seem a bit...lethargic, to say the least. Might have to crack the whip a few times-just because contracts were sent out doesn't mean that they will always have a job. I have to constantly tell the sims that play significant roles on the show that I can easily switch storylines if I need to. The legal department wants us to consider offering longer contracts so the salaries can stay constant and low, instead of a renewable contract each season. I don't like that idea.
The Gloria Show...not going as well as I would like. We have two guests lined up for three episodes, waiting on confirmation from a third guest concerning an episode. However, we're still waiting on guests to travel to the hood for filming. Want to aire an episode in May, also Gloria is getting concerned. I think she thinks the show has been dropped.
Things are at a lull, my goal is to get the sets for "Adventures" complete and then start working on the sets for the next season of Pahala Shore.

Work
The Gloria Show is canceled for April, we'll aire the episode in May. Our guest will be arriving at the end of this week and we're going to send out invites for some additional episodes.
Pahala Shore will aire later this month, maybe the 20th and 27th. I doubt we'll get an episode to the network in time for this week. Of course this is bad news for us, advertisers might start to pull thier ads if PS is continually late-thank goodness we recieved a lot of nominations for the SimOscars so we're a money making force for the network.
Some cast members for AoaB are flying in this week to begin pre-production, also the PS cast will return to work April 15th to finish out the season.
A.Pentragnani is going to be hard at work as well since Apple Valley restricted the number of importers, so more things will be produced locally. There's already a demand for sleepwear, so we'll be working on some items for that collection as well.

Completions
Casting for Adventures of a Bride are complete. It took a while, but I'm happy with the final cast list. We sent out letters today notifying the lucky and unlucky ones of thier status. The cast is mostly a group of unknowns...well, not exactly unknowns. Some of them have appeared on other shows, but none of them have had significant spotlights on them. I perfer using "unknowns" since they are usually more humble than those sims who feel that they "deserve" a role, also it injects fresh faces into the industry. We decided to stay with the stills for the mini-series since it's more of a comedic series and we don't have the time nor resources to do voice auditions.
I doubt that the Gloria Show will aire this month, it's already April and repairs are not done. We'll focus on airing Pahala Shore instead. As soon as repairs are complete, The Gloria Show is going into overtime production. I need to send out some more feelers for additional episodes.
The hood council sold the television channels to us. We're sorting through programming now. I need to ask for premissions to aire episodes of Suburb Sim and Arrendale Heights and Make Me a Model and Celebrity Homes on the local channels. Either we would gather live action shots-or simply string stills together. More than likely we'll start with the music channel and the songs from The Blobs new album, Color Series. Hmm, maybe we could offer the CD in the Community Store.
I'm headed to Italy this weekend, familia business of course and maybe a few moments of rest.
