1. FROM THE EDITING ROOM...
============================================
We know that everyone is anxious to see our movie, UNDER JAKOB'S LADDER. But believe it or not, we're still doing some troubleshooting in the editing room. It's the tiny things right now. One render can take up to a day (and/or night). And then we watch for glitches. A misplaced clip. An effect that isn't as smooth as we intended it to be. Lips that aren't quite in sync with the dialogue. Disappearing music.
We appreciate everyone's patience. And as you wait, we hope you enjoy the first installment of our JAKOB comic strip...
============================================
2. A JAKOB COMIC
============================================
Introducing the very first in a special series of...Well, a comic strip. An UNDER JAKOB'S LADDER comic strip, to be exact.
Click here to view the comic strip.
This comic strip is inspired by scenes from the movie, as well as story ideas that did not make the final draft of the screenplay.
All drawings are by Lizzie Hupcey, our storyboard artist on the film. You'll see many of the main characters brought to life in 2D! With the special technology of paper and pencil. (Or whatever Lizzie uses.)
So, while you wait to see the REAL movie, we hope you enjoy this...

P.S. Got an idea for Lizzie to draw? If you think you have a scenario for the comic strip, please send us your idea. If we use it, we'll be sure to dedicate that particular comic strip to you! Send us your ideas

5. QUOTE
==========================================
Instead of a quote, we'll be giving you a joke. Hey, it goes with the comic theme, don't you think? And since we're on themes, we'll stick with an old joke from the Soviet Union...
A frightened man came to the Secret Police, the NKVD. "My talking parrot disappeared." The NKVD man said to him, "This is not our case. Go to the criminal police." The man replied: "Excuse me. Of course I know that I have to go to them. I am here just to tell you officially that I disagree with that parrot."
