Those of us who are fortunate and privileged to know Sam Witwer’s great friend Chuck Hirstius personally (he is also one of The Crashtones co-songwriters) know that Chuck is something of an IT genius. He is currently in the process of designing and building a Multi-Touch Table.
Chuck is blogging his progress on his own website, and anyone who’s interested can follow it here.

Further to the rumours circulating recently - and sticking with our preference for not posting anything until we hear it from the horse’s mouth (the horse being a glass-shatteringly beautiful young man who answers to the name Sam Witwer) - we are now very pleased to confirm that the pilot for “The Quinn-tuplets” has been given a presentation order from CBS.
Sam is playing one of the six series leads.
“The Quinn-tuplets”, from CBS TV Studios, was written by “Swingtown” creator Mike Kelley and Chris Kelley (no relation), and is based on the Israeli series “The Ran Quartet” which follows the adult Quinn quintuplets, whose whole lives have been documented on TV.
Mike Kelley is executive producing with Giyora Yahalom, Oren Jakobi, Yona Wiesenthal and Eilon Ratzkovsky. Arik Kneller serves as co-exec producer and Chris Kelley as producer.
Our thanks to Nellie Andreeva of The Hollywood Reporter for the additional information.

Another of Nathalie Cox’s movies you might want to check out is the BAFTA-nominated thriller Exam, written and directed by Stuart Hazeldine.
The Empire trailer can be viewed on slashfilm.com’s website here.
Update: Exam has won a prize at the Santa Barbara Independent Film Festival. Stuart Hazeldine’s movie took the SBIFF’s Panavision Spirit Award for Independent Cinema, which recognizes a feature made “outside mainstream Hollywood”. The indieWIRE article can be read here.
Everyone here at samwitwerfans.com would like to offer our congratulations to all involved.

About 12 years ago, Chuck Hirstius (one of The Crashtones co-songwriters) had a dream about his own funeral. (Creepy, right?) In his dream, he could hear music playing over and over, and when he woke up he recorded the music he’d heard. At some point the recording went AWOL. He recently found it again…
You can listen to The Funeral Song here
Our thanks to Chuck for sharing this with us - we really appreciate it.

Continuing our occasional series of nods to Other Talented People who have links, random or otherwise, to the Talented Mr. Witwer, we bring to your attention Jesse Harlin.
Jesse (LucasArts) is a writer, musician, composer and all-round nice guy, and he’s just had his first piece “Fallen” published online at Yesteryear Fiction, which we invite you to read here.
Our thanks to yesteryearfiction.com
