Crafting Arzium is a feature-length documentary that takes an intimate look into the design process of Ryan Laukat and Malorie Laukat — the core team behind Red Raven Games. You will be taken into Ryan and Malorie’s world as they imagine, create, live, and struggle to come up with their next great board game.

I am honored to be a part of the project and I am really excited to share this window into the board game design process. I love board games and what they mean to me over my life. It is amazing what Eric Rayl has captured. To me, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see it happen as it happens.

Created by my long time comedy writing partner, Koran Dunbar, “Greencastle” is a film about a single father who works at a small-town pet store in Greencastle, PA. Poitier struggles against self-doubt and an unclear life direction while trying to raise his young son. In the midst of his “quarter-life crisis” enters Leslie, an attractive woman running from an ugly past. Fate brings them together, but Poitier discovers that opportunities only come to those who take chances, and he must come to terms with his own past before he can embrace his future with confidence.

The crew behind “Greencastle” filmed the movie over the summer of 2011 and the footage turned out great as you can see in the trailer above. They want to take “Greencastle” to a wider audience and looking to use a website called Kickstarter to do so. Have you heard of Kickstarter? Kickstarter is a website where people can post their project and raise funding by offering incentives such as autographed scripts or items related to the output of the project.

“Greencastle” is already submitted to film festivals like SXSW and I would love to see where this project could go with everyone’s help. Check out the Kickstarter for “Greencastle” and see if this is something that you are interested in supporting… Thanks!
