A Long Lost Radio Play Script
by Craig Nybo ~ March 3, 2010
After some digging, I finally resurrected a lost teleplay I wrote a couple of years ago. This script was supposed to be a RUSTMONSTER project, an outer space pirate odyssey. But it looks as though the band might be heading in a different direction after our 3rd album, which is coming soon. I’m cool with the band’s direction; it will be a blast anyway it goes.
The problem is, I still want to produce this script. I’m thinking about wrangling together a few actors and putting down the VOs then scoring it myself. It feels a little bit like the art rock, filk classic, War of the Worlds.
If I decide to do it, It will be a pretty big endeavor. It will probably span 2, or maybe even 3 albums. One reason I want to do it: I love collaboration. I think it would be a kick to work with some actors in producing it. I have a lot of talented friends that I’m sure would help out. Or maybe RUSTMONSTER might kick in if I show them the script. It needs a bit of revision before I would allow anyone to read it.
The other thing to consider is: I have two side projects on the table right now. I’m working with Scott Brough on a comedy heavy metal album, and I’m still planning on getting a Halloween themed album out this year. I can’t open another project and expect to close all three in a timely manner.
