"HELP WANTED" renamed to "The Incident In Tesla"

So for a few weeks now we have been contemplating the name our project. It’s
come to our attention that the name “Help Wanted” has already been used on
numerous other films for many years now and we’re not particularly fans of reusing
names. So we thought about the situation long and hard. Many texts were sent from
the east coast to the west coast, in state, out of state and of course the easy way
of communicating, actually hearing each other voices. And we came up with a newer
more dangerous title that actually fits the tone of our supernatural, suspense,
mystery film more…




Yes, The Incident In Tesla. And look who was one of the first people to find out
about the new title.




Yes, THAT Kevin Smith.

Etsy Finds: The Limited
By Emily Bidwell
One of the great things about handmade is that artisans are constantly
playing with their designs, often resulting in mini boutique lines and
limited editions. All year round I enjoy hunting these nifty little numbers in
hopes of finding something extra special. For today's Etsy Finds, I have put
together a collection of some of my favorite limited editions currently for
sale on Etsy. If you see the perfect gift, or something you just have to have,
get it while you can! These items are hot and won't be in stock much longer.
