BOTL Lite Season 1 (2007-’08)
This is kind of a play on the fact that people kept telling me I was making too many short films and it was too hard to keep up with what I’m doing – so I was like, “OK, if you can’t handle what I’m doing, here’s the “lite” version of it.”
BOTL Lite (short for Band Of The Land Lite) is basically whatever we were doing with BOTL Total, with less “fat” and a little less “protein” – it started as a joke, but I eventually got pretty serious about it, and it became its own thing – just like with BOTL Total, I did a whole season’s worth of 22 minute episodes (the idea being that it’s 30 minutes when you add in some commercials).
And as with BOTL Total and BOTL Radio, each episode is made up of about 10 short films, often part of their own series within the series – there were a lot of different comedy bits scattered throughout that took off from some of the themes I’d been working with on BOTL Radio, and some more of the Vault style remixes of raw footage from earlier projects that I’d never completed – there was also a mini-series called BOTL Trips about traveling through Canada and the Northeastern US.
So by the time we’d finished this series, I’d already worked as a writer, director, co-star, and editor on well over 100 short films.
Which seems like a achievement in a way, but to me, it also just felt like too damn much – I think I got really tired of that specific, compulsive style of filmmaking at this point, and I wanted to explore other ways of doing things.
That’s also why I shelved a lot of these earlier projects and didn’t bother reissuing any of them – I just wanted to do something very different at that point.
As I noted in the page for BOTL Total, I got rid of the old Band Of The Land Films YouTube channel around this time, because I got tired of people associating me with that era of my work, and everyone else involved had also moved on to other projects – at the time I got rid of it, we had over 100 videos on there!
But I have no idea if any of our fans ever downloaded any of these, and I personally don’t have any of the files or physical copies anymore.
