HAPPY NEW YEAR, TO ALL & EVERYONE!  

Yup! It's that time again. Hmmmmm...wow.

I used to always say, "This new year is the one! The one where everything great happens and I get over the hump and all my dreams come true." I no longer say that. Or even think that. These days I just keep it simple when it comes to New Year's hopes and resolutions––I try to expect nothing, hope to anticipate the worst before it knocks me off my feet completely, and wish for the best (whatever that is). What will be, will be. Even so...HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! 2018 has arrived!

Here's cheers to two years of passion, creative industry, and mind––as first Literature then Cinema. I hope you’ll enjoy and embrace it. :)

Is A CATCH IN TIME: CHAPTER ONE a visual story book? A dramatic short film? An art film? A dark thriller or Gothic horror? A beginning to an end, or a new beginning? An alternative history? An enhanced author reading? Or a cinematic companion for a complete novella? The answer is yes, it's all of the above. So sit back and simply enjoy this “audio” and “visual” intensive journey. Let it lead you into the storm.

COMMENTS on The FILM

Visually mind blowing. Christopher Alan Broadstone has created a new genre. This amazing first chapter is taking audio books to the next level and then into the stratosphere. A visual feast for the eyes as the intelligent and powerful novella is narrated. This is part film, part audio book. I have never seen something this unique. I can’t wait to see/hear/experience the rest of the chapters.”
––JOHN FRANKLIN, Actor/Co- Screenwriter/Author of CHILDREN OF THE CORN 666 and the graphic novel PRIME CUTS

“A CATCH IN TIME: CHAPTER ONE, brings together C.A. Broadstone's vividly descriptive and compelling writing with his mastery of imagery and sound to create a mesmerizing, unique and possibly one of a kind experience.
––MARC FRATTO, Writer/Director of HELL FIRE and ZOMBIES ANONYMOUS

"Strangely enchanting. Unexpected, a real treat. Great for a young audience. I love Chris' innovation, he keeps me guessing all the time as an artist. He is unique in his approach. I recommend taking a trip down A CATCH IN TIME. A good place to venture when one needs to escape the modern day world for a while. Enjoyed it. Very clever editing too, I might add, on a technical level."
––NATHAN HILL, Writer/Director of REVENGE IF THE GWEILO and TOMBOYS

"Seldom have I seen poetry set in such exquisite motion.  A CATCH IN TIME: CHAPTER ONE is an extraordinary achievement.
––RICHARD CHARLES STEVENS, RIVERS OF GRUE/ https://www.riversofgrue.com/

"A heart pounding and poignant reading of the eerie A CATCH IN TIME. With the haunting breath of those old time radio horror stories, Christopher Broadstone again delivers his story in such a way as to seduce and hold all five of our senses captive. You'll smell Tatiana's alluring scent and share her horror as this dramatic reading plays out and manipulates your mind."
––CHRISTOPHER ZISI, ZISI EMPORIUM FOR B-MOVIES/ http://www.zisiemporium.blogspot.de/

COMMENTS On The BOOK

 “Broadstone takes us on a terrifying trip into a twisted psyche that transforms art into an amoral, propagandistic and subversive tool for destruction. Now what could be more entertaining than that?”
––FRANK LALOGGIA, Writer/Director of LADY IN WHITE and FEAR NO EVIL

"A CATCH IN TIME grew so vividly and beautifully absurd…I could not take my eyes off the book for long…C. A. Broadstone has easily convinced me that his writing style is indeed brilliant." 
– OLIVER LIPPERT, THE HUFFINGTON POST (Germany) https://tinyurl.com/j8z9ftp

"A CATCH IN TIME speeds forward into that fever dream state that plays like a hallucination out of Dante’s Inferno..." 
––PAUL D. MARKS, Author of WHITE HEAT and VORTEX

This is what getting up everyday at 4:30am (for 4 hours of movie & Black CAB work) and then slaving until 6:30pm (at other unwished-for work) does to me. Also might be the mere 4.5 to 5 hours sleep I get a night––makes me a bit loopy. It's actually quite a miracle I'm functioning at all. 





Also found this lovely pic on my crappy phone––
THE HABIT: Burger Grill!

One of the last places I discovered in L.A. (although they've been around for many years). This location was up in downtown Alhambra. Great burger!!! Find one if you're in L.A. or California. I can't get The Habit quenched here in Dallas. :) Look at that pic of my food (10.6.16––one month before I moved back to Dallas 😲)! This ain't no crummy Burger King or Mickey D's!
