One of the best blogs of all time was Chasing Windmills, a videoblog about a fictional couple and their peculiar friends and acquaintances. Created in their spare time by real-life couple Cristina Cordova and Juan Antonio del Rasario, the two-year run of Chasing Windmills ended abruptly on March 23, 2007. So I was intrigued to find that Juan Antonio del Rosario has hinted on his personal blog about a new project…
Which brings me to the next project: an as yet untitled (mini?)series about a writer who falls into a black hole. (yeah, that kind of black hole!) I am currently working on scripts for it. I want it to be a weekly so we can focus on bringing up the quality of the shooting and the performances. The series will be starring Steve Marsh, who played “Psycho Steve” in the second season of Chasing Windmills. Link.
In a blogosphere increasingly dominated by splogs and corporate hack writers — and the two are increasingly difficult to distinguish (is BoingBoing a splog, or merely corporate?) — we can hope that this new project might the creative void left by the end of Chasing Windmills.
I never heard of Chasing Windmills, so I went to the site and watched a few of the vids from 2007. I’m intrigued – a little bit hooked. Have to go back and watch from the beginning.
h sofia — It’s a little sophomoric at times but mostly it’s very satisfying. There were some really great scenes; and some memorable lines, e.g, “Is the man-ban still on?”
