FATE TWISTS

Season 2 is proving to be the best production of the series within the shows run. Each passing episode is proving that the cast is filling into their roles with fantastic performances, shelling out each new plot twist to the fans in stunning style. And where growth is greatly & easily admired by fans, changes will have to be made which might affect the fans acceptance of a new direction in character development.

Within the production of Season 2, the cast alignment has unexpectedly shifted with the procurement of new talent in already well-grounded positions. One of the newest changes to the cast is the introduction of Larry Carrell; who will take over the role of "Arthur 'Art' McAdams" for the remaining seasons of the series. Larry is a talented actor/director/film producer who was very excited to be propositioned with a chance to audition to the fast growing online t.v. show.

Upon meeting with me recently & signing on for a two year run, he conveyed his admiration of being brought into the series; excitedly asking the right questions & conveying to me that this was a big opportunity for him to take on the challenging task to present himself as a valuable asset to the show.

Larry has his own film production studio called "Ungowa Films" where he successfully produced the two fantastic movies "GAME OVER - The Secret Life Of Game Store Clerks" & "...Done" - which are noteworthy local films
which garnered good attention from local fans for their variety of filming formats; one being a rare comedy, the other being a deep, emotional drama. His introduction to the Angelika5 (A5) series was not due solely to his acting process, but his impeccable talent at presenting dramatic emotions at the turn of one scene to another.

Fans should take special note that Larry will also have tremendous inputs to each of A5's new episodes to further develop the character of 'Art' through out the remaining run of the series. I believe that this change which will add an emotional flair to the character which may or may not have been there before.
The integration of Larry into the series will be swift & gradual at first, but the importance of building the character of Art for the ladder stages of the shows development is a must to ensure the best presentation is put forth with the previous strong line of dedicated cast members. I am aware that the procurement of new talent may be seen as a sign of stumbling, but I ensure you that the serious will only get better from here!

...the storm has new strength!!!

WE'RE MOVING!

The entire ANGELIKA5 (A5) website is going through a complete phase of re-design!...The website will be moving almost immediately & even the address will also change. All of the series episodes will continue to upload on the Q Storm Productions page & on the "Secret Of Angelika5" FaceBook page! Please a make a note of these pages as no further information to the series new location will be updated on the www.angelika5.com website.

All of the mirror sites will still continue to post behind the scenes photos & information concerning the development of the show & the steps taken to complete production. Some recent new events have occurred which are currently changing the progress & direction of the shows production as it now enters the middle of Season 2. One BIG change is the addition of several new actors who will introduce a new story-arc to follow during the ladder half of this season. We will post more information concerning these new actors in the up & coming weeks.

The success of the shows presentation in Season 2 has proven the strength of the production at all levels, presently setting a big standard for other local studios to follow. Also, the shows creator is currently in talks with bringing in a new producer & production manager to help launch the series to a whole new level of production. Recent production success in Season 2 has paved newer doors within the local community of Montgomery, & now the show has now been the subject of debate concerning the development of a new awarding system for "online television shows" here in the state of Texas! If there is success in launching a new platform of awards for online television in Texas, we are hoping to be either strong participators in getting nominated, or contributors to the new line of attention in our category.

This has been a long road & I hope that you will stick around to watch the series; even if some difficult changes lay ahead of us.

...The storm rages on!

NEW FACES

It's was a long wait to see it, but Episode 15 was still well-received by fans! The episode is the first in a set of story lines which will introduce new characters [& actors] to the show this season; which also include the addition of Angelika's mother, Emma [played by Krystn Caldwell].

Krystn [that is not a mis-spelling] is an actress who is trained with a spectacular brand of method-acting & who brought a stunning performance to the show during a horrifically real, car crash scene; shot entirely in Montgomery. Back in November when Krystn was selected for the role of Angelika's mother, she was in high spirits awaiting for the production to episode 15 to begin. She was so excited about being in the show, that she would ask when the "big date" was. Her enthusiasm to play a part in the show was on the surface of conversation each time we met. Her part was well rehearsed & well thought out, & she opted to actually perform all of her required screenplay time in the car upside down, if I had decided to flip the car upside down as it was originally written in the script. Expect to see good things from this lady in later episodes!

Another great addition to the cast is that of Katie Carlson, who fills in some big shoes in the role of Kari-Anne Fuller. She did an outstanding job in portraying the role of Montgomery's lone Assistant District Attorney; presenting an agitated character hell bent on taking down an accused man in court. Katie's immediate exposure to working with some very talented actresses [like Amy Mitchell] helped her deliver a pristine performance in her first time ever in front of the camera. She was placed in the hot seat for her first role & she delivered with a calm, cool, and collected presence. But she is a realist & knows that she still has a lot to learn with tons of hard work to bring the role of Kari-Anne to serious life. I know that her work will only get better & we will witness some fast growth from her performances in the near future.
Some big news was the addition of two time Emmy Winner Robin Craig, portraying the ruthless Judge Leslie Moran; an important addition to the series as the shows plot line will be turning toward some serious drama later this season. Robin took the part seriously & went above & beyond my expectations with a tremendous performance; which no doubt has raised the bar of expectancy in the shows overall presentation. There is no doubt that the character of Judge Moran will be returning to the series at a later part in the season. Robin is very proud to be part of the show & is overly anxious to return to see how the entire angle to the characters development unfolds over time.
The second guest-star to the episode was Amy Mitchell, a talented actor visiting us from Irony Coast Productions, who portrayed the character of Defense Lawyer Mia Winger in grand style. Very much attuned to her role since she is a lawyer in real life; her performance showed an avenue of great talent, learned through time & study. Amy was also excited to join the show as a guest, proving that interconnections between separate studios can present some interesting values in film production. Her portrayal as Lawyer Winger was a strong element in the episodes immediate success & I am sure that her character will once again return at a later time in the series.

So as you can see, we are pulling out all of the stops to make the series a bigger & better production after each passing episode. Our plan is to take this series to the limit in presenting you some of the best online entertainment possible & produced entirely here in Houston, TX!

...this storm has a fierce wind!

OUR BEST POINT

A Full year has passed & ANGELIKA5 (A5) is still doing what it does best, presenting quality episodes for its vaunted online series which has taken fans from one extreme to another. There is no doubt that the serious magic has been cultivated from the unique set of actors that have performed above & beyond, far exceeding the expectations of the studio & the shows growing fan base.

A year ago, many observers questioned the longevity of the shows potential; but that isn't the opinion of those same observers now. A year later they are still stopping by, being led along by the stories "darker" plot line & feeling the need to know the answer to the biggest question during the peak of shows presentation in Season 2, "what the heck is going on?"

There have been a myriad of changes in the direction of the shows story arch, each new twist in the leading storyline has brought about strange new drama & has even caused some upheaval within the cast. I assure you, there are many phone calls that are made to cast mates, reassuring them that they'll be around for the next season. The anxiety of not knowing is definitely weighing in on the cast as well as the fans.
With this being my second successful launch with an online series , I can tell when I am on to something good. Part of it comes when fans or observers start evaluating 'who is the better actor' in the series; and that's a well baited hook of a successfully launching a good idea. Indiscreetly, a good director wants you to choose between the character actors of the show & select a favorite [or the better one] presenting their performance. It is those essential 'opinions' that prove that the writing is working. If the viewer is 'feeling it from one actor over another' - then that is all part of the plan; eventually, most will see why at the end & that is the fun of it all.
I have seen some really great performances from actors that have had limited exposure on the show. The actors brought in to play strong supporting roles know that their entry into the series is pivotal in the secretive story arcs which will [in the end] change the face of the overall production. Eddie Enriquez & Hessed Honstien's performance in Episode 12 were brilliant examples of their genuine skills in acting. Both firing brilliantly against one another in a fantastic display of drama which left the fans wondering, "what lies ahead with those two?" - more questions that lead to the fire of shows strength. More evaluations from fans concerning 'which actor was better?'

This series is founded on a simple, well doctrined & fundamental principle..."Get It Done & Get It Out!" - We have left no margines unattained within the shows run, keeping the production format simple but gaining giant strides in the presentation of each new episode. Local studios are stumped with the series production record of keeping the production costs low & only working on a four-hour a day filming schedule; where in some cases we have filmed up to two-episodes worth of material. The pace of this series has been a blistering experience for cast & crew, & much more of a relief for the actors as time is not spent standing around waiting for their time in front of the camera; which has been well managed by the studio, leaving more personal time for actors to do things with their family & friends.

Each actor has seen the light of success with their performance within the show; more so in the cusp of being asked to audition for another studio film project(s). The few 'walk on' actors brought to the series have felt a little stardom for being part of a online series, which is now taking root overseas. The staple of a 'walk on' giving birth to a new idealism that sometimes 'a fresh look' is the best idea for a new project. Many directors in the business won't take the time to train new actors, favoring the more 'cliquish' actors to build their films around with, leaving the new-be's to learn their skills on their own in theater arts or smaller film avenues. Two of A5's 'walk on' actors are now fan favorites of the show, proving that giving new talent a chance in front of the camera can raise a projects integrity with fans.

Case in point, Saira Ramos & Mary King. Both of who had limited acting experience but are now cornerstone actors in the series. Each actress has come a long way & their performances have caught the attention of many fans. It's a simple disguise made through the writing of each episode, but a strong presentation of their natural talent that has made the success of being a fan favorite an accomplishment made all alone within their performances.
But most of the power of the success of the series has come from the veteran actors that have made the production look simple behind the camera. Brittany Clark & Angelica Grayson are having the times of their lives, being given wide birth to make changes to scripts & deliver real youthful presence to their characters; John St. Germain, Maque Garcia, & Andy Kantowski have shown real chemistry in delivering some powerful seens [and many yet unseen] that will change the way that online series will ever be presented; Melissa Blanco, Jessica Sauer, & Kayla VanBergen are vibrant models that are proven assets to the show that without their unique touch in the show, the realistic presentation of a nasty 'bad girl' would never have surfaced within the limited time they have been on the show; and the newly attained Shelley Boozer, Jason Yarbrough, & Robert Buttrick are just the next batch of veteran actors that are on the step of adding something new & dark to the series.

With such a large plethora of talented actors, it's no wonder the series has proven to be a strong production within the local community. A5 is only reaching the middle of its second season, & I can assure you that there are many more scary moments that lay ahead for you.

...the storm is changing course!

RAZOR SPARKS...WITH TONS OF QUESTIONS

Fan emails have plowed into the series accounts during the holiday season, all of them pondering the storyline of events occurring in the first chapter of the Razor additions to the series. At first glance its easy to see why...the appearance of a possible superhero taking out a tactical squad with no weapons, just seemingly with the ease of using telepathy & telekinesis.
Many fans are wondering if this is the new world being presented to fans through the shows presentation. With the nation now fully involved in an epidemic of "super hero" type TV shows and movies, I can assure everyone that the series is far from that. The Razor was produced as a story arc which follows the main plot of the series, which will lead into an eventual collision sometime in the third season.
So in effect, the Razor has done it's job presenting the first storyline [which surely would have caused more confusion if it had been inserted into the series production] in 8 chapters filled with tangents & plot twists throughout, but which would not have had a conclusion until sometime later in Season 3. With some great acting assists from Jason Yarbrough [Cdr Manton], Robert Buttrick [Sniper], & Daniel Brown [Blade] made the start of the Razor' a successful venture to toy with again at a later time.
Several first roles were presented in the Razor, the first being that of Tanna Amvet [masterfully portrayed by Shelley Boozer]. The character of Tanna was written into existence in 1986, during my Junior year in High School. Through graphic novels, the character developed over time into a sparkling warning of human-genetic tampering; a storyline never completed during its run. But I decided to add some of the elements of my old ideas into Angelika5.

Shelley spent a little over a month preparing herself for the role of Tanna. She studied up on telepathy & telekinesis through the Internet & books; & even jokingly tried using some telepathy on cast mates & friends to see if she had the ability to control their minds. But more seriously, a lot of thought went into the design of the costume & presentation of her powers on camera. Instead of diving into special effects to portray her power, it was thought out that maybe the fan base might be a little more aware of what is going on by presenting Tanna's ability with a "toned down" presentation. It worked, as fans really got the feel for what we were trying to present in the first Chapter.
So what's left after the shocking ending to Chapter One? Is Tanna the type of character that would deliberately force a soldier to shoot himself, or was she just trying to show force & scare the man to the sense of following orders? I guess fans of the Razor episodes will have to wait until the next chapter surfaces on the series website...I assure everyone that you will not have to wait too long.

...the storm has many secrets in store for you!...

MERRY CHRISTMAS & GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

The entire cast & crew of Angelika5 wish you the best of the holiday season, by having a safe & Merry Christmas!
These photos are from an Angelika5 Christmas Party.

SEASON 2 PROGRESSION

Season 2 progresses well with fantastic reviews from fans & series followers. The series seems to have taken a dramatic turn that fans like, & that a little chemistry of awareness is starting to grow outward to new fans.

Most of the more "in-depth" fan reviews has arisen through the fast growing Angelika5 FaceBook (A5FB) page, which currently posts information & photographs not shared through the series website; fans especially noting that new episodes are released on A5FB several days prior to the online release on the series website. These fans have noted the strong performances by our cast, & especially those of our young talent, both Brittany Clark & Angelica Grayson who are dominant fan favorites.

The number of A5FB fans is still considerably low, but I believe it is due to the number of well-balanced family & friends who have had the opportunity through viral networking, to know about it. The reason for having two different viewing locales is to bring the fans in closer to the show. I felt that if true fans were given the opportunity to have a closer, personalized viewing of information into the series, that they may feel that "special care" from the production team to give them the inside scoop to whats going on, giving the "family feel" approach to our delivery.

The A5FB page is working, & its network "hub" effect could result in a myriad of growth in tracking who the real fans of the show truly are. Tracking the number of fans for the series has NOT been tough, but giving a face to them has. With the series now reaching new eyes in territories around the world, I am sure that the series growth will reach an all time height by the end of the second season; which in itself will prove two things; (1st) the series is a successful project, & (2nd), it was all due in part to the sacrifice of the cast & crew to get it through this far.

With the growing number of fans on the A5FB page, we're starting to get a look at a lot of new faces that aren't close family members or friends; but more the extension of both. Season 2 has certainly vaunted the series in a new direction of success. With the presentation of the actors settling into their roles, & new, likable characters making their zeal within moments of first being presented, the new season seems to be rolling in a dramatic level all it's own.

Fans are mentioning that the "pot is boiling" for season 2 & that they feel the series is expected to reach a climactic arch at the end of the season, which could result in a breathtaking season to remember. Whether that is the real case or not, even I am not sure. But I will say that there are some very dark stories within the 2nd season which have yet to be told. And if you haven't heard yet, I am bringing in some of the best local "A-List" talent to the show to ensure that the current story-arc for this season is told perfectly by the right actors.
The storm is here...it's taking control & we're seeing the success of all of our hard days work...never underestimate it's power!
