Synopsis: Dallas McKay is your average 20-something newspaper reporter: Single, liberal, and unabashedly atheist. When a truck smacks into him in a bar parking lot, he wakes up in Heaven and - after uttering a few choice profanities - finds himself face-toface with the God he doesn't believe exists. But God isn't out for vengeance; He's concerned that His message has been lost in a swarm of religious zealotry, and sends Dallas back to Earth to write and sell a new, improved religious text.

2011 was a great year for the independent film business and we’re going to start 2012 off with a bang! Writer Brad Staggs, Director Scott Luter, and Videographer David Bonnell have teamed up to form Wholly Odd Productions, bringing together our collaborative talents in the coming year.
Our first production, Ex-Kid, will shoot starting on March 3, 2012. Our freshman production is a 22-minute comedy short which serves as a pilot for a possible television series.
Ex-Kid is the humorous story of Ken Schaffer, a former child television star in the 1970's. He was loved by millions but hated by his co-stars and crew due to the prima-donna attitude encouraged by his agent/father. Ken’s mother took him away from the Hollywood environment to Indiana, her birthplace. Ken lived out a normal childhood in the days before “Where are they now?” reality shows and joined the Army after high school. He has lived in several different parts of the world, getting married and divorced. The series picks up as Ken is newly retired from the military and is back in Los Angeles starting a new career as a writer. The fact that he has been gone from the Hollywood system and his military mentality produces a hilarious juxtaposition as Ken must deal with his past coming back to haunt him. His father is still trying to sell him as an actor, his ex-wife won’t stop calling, and his teenage daughter refuses to turn off her iPod long enough to talk to him.
The filming of the pilot episode of Ex-Kid will take place over two consecutive weekends in March. Upon completion, the film will be entered at several film festivals. Our ultimate goal is to see the series picked up by a network.

Evansville, IN – The fast growing collection of online original series and movies is about to grow a little more with the addition of a new series from the Midwest. The new series REALITY ON DEMAND has officially announced January 18th, 2012 as the premiere date for its action packed and humor filled season one. A mix of experienced actors with relative unknowns will help bring to life this new, independent TV series that follows four strangers testing an advanced virtual reality game world composed of their favorite television shows and movies. But when they become trapped, a fun adventure takes a dangerous turn where cancellation means death.
“We can't wait to show the world what we've been working on. We have an extremely talented cast. Some may be familiar to those who follow indie filmmaking in Indiana and Kentucky, but soon the whole world will get to know these talented actors and the characters they portray.” said series creator & director Marx Hernandez Pyle. “The series will at first be found on our home website http://RealityOnDemandSeries.com, Blip.tv, iTunes, and SciFiPulse.net. But will quickly expand out to other distributors like Boxee, tiVo, Roku, Hulu, and more. Then we'll expand to other windows of distribution by releasing our season one DVD, packed with extras. You can also expect Spanish subtitles followed by other languages."
