Dream or Nightmare teaser

 Our latest entry (and our 117th work), part 1 of our Shakespearean Fortune Cycle, is up and available for viewing! The video cycle is an out-of-chronological-order series that connects several of the Bard’s sonnets form one modern, albeit dark tale. See it here on Youtube!
Other parts of the cycle have already been posted (they have been posted out of chronological order). Featuring ZU zo-founder Gabriel Ruiz and an original score by Robert Trujillo. Look for more of the Fortune Cycle in upcoming months!

 While other projects are in their development stage, an older project is getting wrapped up. Shakespeare’s Sonnet 50, “How Heavy Do I Journey On The Way” is in post-production with music and score being finalized by Robert Trujillo.

This production is a prologue for the larger work, “Fortune Cycle”, a video adaptation of several of Shakespeare’s sonnets that tie together to create one out-of-order story. The last two cycles, have already been released.
