Skies of Tomorrow (television program)

I'm also working up a ~15 minute television program with the same characters. This will be different material than the podcast, and will be done in a "daily soap opera" style (although I'll be lucky if I can get an episode out per month once we start.)

I'm mostly writing and working on sets right now.

## Skies of Tomorrow (video game)

This is a GBC game I'm sketching up right now that follows along roughly with the plot of the first arc of the shows.

It'll feature several of the events of the shows that we can't film/that happen of screen. It should be fun.

The Mysterious Air Pirates issue 2

I've been writing a serial set in the same basic universe as Skies of Tomorrow, but featuring (a modified to my liking version of) the crew from #filibus (the 1915 Italian Silent film about the genderfluid bisexual skypirate. (I say bisexual every time I talk about the series, because that's how I read the portrayal. I might be projecting. I'm writing my Filibus as a bisexual genderfluid person.) )

Issue one is out for sale now through various platforms.

Issue two is outlined and partially written. I have more writing to do, editing and polishing, layout, and I have to find or produce or commission a cover for the second issue (which might be the hardest part!)

Most of the toys we're making right now are #skypirates

Why Sky pirates?

Because Sky Pirates are full of revolutionary joy!

In the 1910s and in to the 1920s, in the build up of to and the wake of the first world war, the air was full of revolutionary energy. Anarchists and socialists were tossing bombs and setting fires. Against that backdrop, man was heading for the skies.

From Zeppelins to The Wright Flyer, everyone was racing in to the skies.

And those two ideas got mixed up in people's heads. Suddenly literature and film were full of stories of anarchists bombing from zeppelins, of Great Men flying to Mars in their blimps.

So we're making Sky Pirates, and we're publishing Sky Pirate literature and films. (Things like #filibus and The Pirates of 1920)

And we're making Sky Pirate toys.

And we're writing stories, and computer games, about people who fly through the skies smashing factories and living free.
