Firstly with as many hats as you wear, has your vision for the series come across as you wanted it to or are their things that you would have changed?
I wish I would know then what I know now. The whole experience of We're Alive has taught me many things about telling a story, running a business, and working with various people. So, there's lots I would change, but the one thing in particular would have been more of a bigger first episode, BUT, you have to start somewhere.
Secondly I must applaud you for for your time effort and energy that you have placed into this fantastic series, were their any other series that gave you inspiration was it T.V. for example (The Original "The Survivors", "The Tripods", or the TV series The day of the Triffids") or was their another Radio show you listened to as a child?
Um. None of those I've seen, but I was inspired by some of the story structure ideas of LOST and the way it handled a few things about the series. HOWEVER, there's a lot that I won't take from them, mainly how to handle the mysteries of the story. OH, and Harry Potter. Best series ever written. I never grew up listening to Radio shows, but I did a fair share of books on tape, and a lot of inspiration comes from there. Jim Dale is the man!
Thirdly I understand that with this many hats on to pay for advertising would be an incredible amount, have you thought about alternative merchandise for the show to booster profits? I only say this as I would very much like the show to not only continue but to create spin offs.
Oh, we have some merchandise on sale and we want to push into new territories, but the series comes first, and sometimes it's hard to manage multiple things at once. I've pushed out and expanded where I can, and with the help of some crew we are starting to take back over areas that need attention (new merchandise).
Thanks for listening! Hopefully I covered what you asked![]()
