I know I should give a little background on Mike St. James' latest project. Surely you're all dying to know what was so fan-fricken-tastic that he gave up a finger for it. Here's the line on Raven Rock, per director Joe Cook:
“Raven Rock” is an incredibly character driven, action packed, special FX, Stunts filled show full of depth and story. Raven Rock can be best described as Smallville meets Criminal Minds. The show revolves around two estranged brothers, Dillon and Harper Lewis, who find out they have been infected with a bio engineered serum called Project R.A.V.E.N that gives them abilities like telekinesis, strength, and flight. The two brothers must find a way to mend their ailing relationship while trying to protect the good people of Raven Rock.MSJ isn't one of the two superhero brothers; he is instead the bad-ass detective that's going to straighten everyone out down in the town of Raven Rock. I've read the pilot script and it sounds like this is the sort of show where every man has a secret, every story has a twist. It's like Guy de Maupassant with less talk and a hell of a lot more action. Or if O. Henry had Hemingway's sunny disposition. (Think something dark and ghastly like The Snows of Kilimanjaro meets something brilliantly surprising like After Twenty Years.)
The part of Dillon is played by one of MSJ's best friends here in Wilmington, Taylor August. What can I say about Tay? He's young (even younger than his age), he's handsome & dashing, and he is as artistic as God makes 'em. To see more, here is a teaser video that offers some of Dillon's backstory.

The full trailer *should* be out on Thursday. Keep your eyes open for it and give it lots of traffic, lots of comments, lots of buzz.
