Summary
In this week’s “Screenplays, Spectacles, and Songrise + Weekly Update,” Brandon shares personal style change, creative milestones, and upcoming public events, blending a casual vlog tone with business‑like progress reports.
He debuted new, larger brown glasses after an optometrist visit, inviting audience feedback. The Mistborn screenplay treatment is 13% complete, with Apple collaborators shaping the outline for a summer finish. Songrise, a music‑driven project by Janci, has hit the 50% mark, even as Brandon manages a shoulder bone‑spur injury requiring therapy.
Brandon announced a free‑to‑the‑public Tolkien Lecture on magic systems at Oxford’s Pembroke College on May 19, with tickets sold via Eventbrite. He also previewed the next crowdfunding push for the Hoid Storybook campaign, highlighting a reading of “The Chasmfriends” by his wife Emily, now COO of Dragonsteel, and urging fans to check his “Fires of December” reading.
These updates signal steady momentum across multiple revenue streams—screenplay licensing, music production, live‑event ticket sales, and crowd‑funded publishing—while personal branding (new glasses, transparent health updates) deepens audience connection, positioning Brandon’s ventures for broader market traction.
