Three years of putting out fires all started with a man on fire.

REVIVAL S1 is now, officially, fully out on Peacock.

I’m not even going to try and put this into words here. But I hope you all get the chance to make your dreams come true with a family as special as this one 🖤🔥🖤🔥 #Revival

#Revival (by @hackintimseeley.bsky.social & #MikeNorton + #JennyFrison covers) is one of my favorite comics of all time. And the TV adaptation (by @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social & @lukeslens.bsky.social) is utterly fantastic.

In 2019 Chris Stuckmann pitched me what eventually became SHELBY OAKS, at Fantastic Fest. And now in 2025, our movie will make it's US Premiere at Fantastic Fest, back where it all began, in my home base of Austin.

Who wants to come party with us next month 🤘🖤

If you aren’t watching #Revival, you’re missing out!
#Earpers, go to support Mel as Dana Cypress but stay because you absolutely fall in love with the cast and get hooked on the storyline. @aaronbkoontz.bsky.social is a genius. Thank me later, you have a show to watch right now.

Being a filmmaker is such an up and down journey. So many ideas just devolve into fragmented pieces of your original sculpture.

And while it’s true there is the “movie you write, movie you shoot & movie you make” What we ultimately made in #Revival Ep 6 is perhaps my favorite thing I’ve ever done 🖤
