For the past few weeks, I have been working on various aspects of the many websites in the Omega Squid family, mostly between SquidFlicks and BlogSuey.
Although BlogSuey has once again entered its beta testing session, It is only because I have not yet completed the total site, and it will not go public until I deem it suitable for release. There will be OSS staff testing out the system, which is powered by WordPress MU.
As for SquidFlicks and our movie productions in general, things are looking great! A new posting schedule will soon be in place for SquidFlicks to better streamline our content and provide reviews in a timely fashion. Urban Nights, our current film project created by Horrorhut Productions, is to enter the first stages of filming very soon. A special mini-site for the production will be coming out soon so you can find out more and meet the actors in the production.
If you want a background of Urban Nights, see what has been posted on SquidFlicks already – there is quite a bit of information for you to absorb! 
See all SquidFlicks posts pertaining to Urban Nights
There is also a film contest that OSS/HHP will be completing an entry for. More information on here and SquidFlicks at a later date!
See the Urban Nights blog (soon to be absorbed into the mini-site)

New to osquid.com:
- Some mini-banner graphics added to the content page
- Video WIPs page added to the video page
It is worth mentioning that under the Video WIPs page you can find a new production that looks to be very fun to make and share with everyone. Once more information is compiled and the project’s page in completed I will post a overview here and on SquidFlicks.
Look forward to more content being added to the site soon!
Thanks!

The new Urban Nights production page has been added to the video WIPs page. It features a description of the film and the cast list at this time. When the film is completed, the page will be moved to the Completed Movies section of the site and feature:
- Viewing of the film
- Rating of the film
- Comments of the film
- Contacting the cast
- Pictures of the cast and production
- Making of/Behind the scenes videos
- Extra features and downloads
This is the format that all major OSS/HHP productions will assume once they are completed.
After weeks of delay and problems, the very first episode of the SquidFlicks Movie Marathon series is complete and open for comments and viewing.
Press Release:
A new online video series that features popular movie series being reviewed in a group setting has debuted from SquidFlicks, a small movie review web site. The video series has long been in the works and has finally been published after weeks of promotion and work.
The first episode features the popular horror series A Nightmare on Elm Street, and features commentary from the group of five reviewers on all eight of the series’ titles.

Shelby Jones and Patrick Farmer of Omega Squid Studios have been selected to write and film a series of 5 PSAs for the local School System’s Red Ribbon Week. Red Ribbon Week is a week dedicated to spreading awareness of the dangers of Alcohol, Tobacco, and Drugs to younger children. Activities are held during the day throughout the week, and one of those will be the presentation of these PSAs to the children.
The 5 PSAs will be about 30 seconds in length each. The scripts are being written and filming will commence within the next week for the production.
The PSAs will be published on the site once they are created, and will be located in the Videos section of the Content page.
