Podcast and Film Festival

Back before the show launched the creators of Mind's Eye the fantasy webseries journeyed across the lands to various Comic conventions to pre-promote the show. One of the adventures lead them to a great pod cast group called "Sci-fi Saturday Night". The host team of the show invited Thomas Gofton, creator and star of the show to come on and chat about what to expect from the up and coming release of Season One.



It was a great conversation and all involved had a fun time. Now, almost 6 months later, the folks of Sci-Fi Saturday Night have invited Thomas back for a recap of the first seasons launch as we approach the finale! Episode 24 - Forest for the trees. Tune in here to listen to the pod cast live on Saturday night, April 23rd at 8:00pm Eastern time.

Then, if you still haven't had enough Mind's Eye and you're interested in meeting the creators the show will exhibit several episodes live in a theater at the SharpCuts: Indie Music and Film Festival. The festival takes place in the show's home town and is expecting quite the homecoming. After, guests will be able to meet and greet with the creators and more. The location is the Synnema at 121 Wyndham Street N. Unit 106 in Guelph ON on Webseries Wednesday Night starting line up at 7pm.



Don't miss this one as well as other webseries from all over including the award winning "Out with Dad" and the L.A. great comedy "Night of the Zombie King".

Two great nights and two great Mind's Eye opportunities!

The Roleplaying Game

The Dreamweavers RPG is now being released for open playtesting. We've gone about as far as we can go with in-house playtesting and feel that we're now ready to get other groups involved.

If you’re interested in helping us playtest the Dreamweavers RPG please contact us Here.

Groups will be provided with a playtest version of the rules, a simple character sheet, and a playtest adventure. We’d like playtest groups to run through the provided adventure at least once, but otherwise you’re encouraged to come up with your own characters and adventures. Now’s your chance to make imagination reality as a dreamweaver, show off your superhuman abilities as a half-blood, or utilize skills and equipment to their fullest as a human struggling to survive in war between powerful supernatural beings.

For more information on the game Dreamweaver, please see Here.

Meet the Cast Part 4 – Thomas M. Gofton

Moving onward with our look at the cast of MIND'S EYE, we come upon Thomas Gofton. Not only does he play hero cowboy-samurai in the series, but Gofton also created the show, produced it, and directed many of the episodes. With such a busy schedule, it's a wonder he had time to answer the questionnaire, but read on to learn about Thomas in all his nerdish glory.

Thomas M. Gofton / Hero Patrick

1) What’s your previous acting experience?

A couple of feature films, one a Horror that was picked up by Troma Films. A few short films, commercials and some musical stage. About 75 per cent of that is a playground I've built for myself and the rest are successful auditions. So it's a different experience.

2) Who are your acting role models?

Jeremy Piven from Entourage (more recent show for him) and Linda Hamilton for being so real and open.

3) What do you think you bring to your role in Mind’s Eye?

Dedication. I created this piece and if I don't give 110 per cent then it's like I'm cheating myself out of my own success. I hoped to bring humour as well, but that's always very subjective.

4) What are your favourite snacks on a film shoot?

Banana Chips and Coffee!

5) If you could have a super-power, which one would it be and why?

Emotion Control. You could do a lot of cleaning up if you could control others’ fears, sadness, greed. Just wipe it all away!

6) If you could play any other character in Mind’s Eye, who would it be and why?

Mark. I have an obsession with Knightly personifications. Swords, armour...nerdy like things. Mark was originally created for myself, however, I needed to push away from that persona and grow as an actor and take a more challenging role for my talents.

7) What’s your favourite work of fantasy and why?

Dungeons and Dragons. It's just a marvel of creativity and magical belief. But if I had to choose a work that is more commonplace I'd say the Peter Pan story because it's everything I believe in. Childhood should never be forgotten.

What are some of your favourite movies?

Finding Neverland, Moulin Rouge, Excalibur, The Last Legion, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Real Men and Peter Pan.

9) If you could play any character on stage and screen, who would it be and why?

Luke Skywalker. Simply my fav.

10) If you couldn’t be an actor, what would your dream job be and why?

Teaching youth. For me acting comes along with being a producer and an editor and all that indie film stuff. If acting went away, then teaching kids age 10 to 13 is where I would next make my impact by helping to develop stronger, more educated and wise youth!
