Greetings to one and all that find their way here! This last year has flown by, and so the time has come to update our progress report. The turn of the year saw the team assemble to improv an adventure set on an island that could be called the Fantasy universe's Australia.
It was an amazing time, and the story was solid enough to form the skeleton of a feature screenplay. That took a few months, but has since been completed, thanks to the input of our many faithful reviewers.
As stated in the previous update, our team placed 8th internationally in the 2015 Lightsaber Choreography Competition.

On top of the experience it provided, it allowed us to meet new people, including the fantastic team at Rogue Zohu Productions.
"Othersight" was finally released for digital download on Gumroad. New members joined the team, and we launched into another round of training, but this time with a very different final test to prove their skill. A tournament!

In the early days, before Brightsword Productions made its debut in the world of cinema, several of the founding members cut our teeth in full-contact Medieval combat. Several team members decided it would be a good tradition to revive. Thus, our newest generation experienced the world of skirmish and massed combat, something that will serve them well in future.
2016 also marked the 10th Anniversary of Brightsword Productions, as our first sci-fi short was filmed in June 2006. This was the cast for the first block of shooting on Day 1, the 6th of June, just outside of Brownsville, OR. (Famous for being the shooting location of Stand By Me.)

So much has happened in those ten years...
Which, in a roundabout way, brings us to the present. This was written on November 1st, less than 24 hours after Brightsword Productions did its first public appearance in downtown Lebanon, during the annual trick or treating event.

The family of long-time teammates bought the local bookstore, and invited us to do something unique in the history of the event: a live action scene, played out for the passing children and their parents. The reaction was overwhelmingly positive. Even when the candy was gone, the people still came, just to walk through this tavern in Fantasy Australia...
So, here we are. As a year draws to its close, we look back in remembrance, and forward, in great expectation to the days and years ahead. To the friends who have been with us all the way, thank you. To those who are just joining us, welcome. Here's to many more years to come.
