Did I mention once or twice that we have some amazingly talented individuals supporting this campaign? Today gives me the great pleasure to introduce another of these souls to you. Steven Katzenmoyer very kindly sent BackToFrankBlack an MP3 file. With memories of The Sound The Snow running through my brain I listened to it with some trepidation (only joking Steven) and absolutely loved it. Not one to keep such goodies from you guys you can do the same right here, right now. Ladies and gentlemen I give you Steven Katzenmoyer and Frank Black.
So our dear campaign has it's apparel, it's buttons, it's videos, it's podcasts and now its torch song. All we need now is some talented individual to add a few scenes to the music and we have a very tasty promotional piece that we can add to our Youtube page (hint hint).
I am indebted to Steven for taking the time to share this with us and congratulate him on such an accomplished and enjoyable creation. I am sure you will join with me in showing your appreciation and leave him a few comments regarding his work.
To join the cause you can now print out an updated pack of postcards, with an address included, by clicking the envelope icon below.
Just one postcard can make all the difference and that postcard could be yours.
Ladies and gentlemen it's time, once again, for our masked avenger, wrestlemaniac and super powered reviewer DiRTto cast his x-ray vision upon another episode of Millennium and direct his considerable following in our direction in the process.
Glen Morgan and James Wongoriginally wanted Darin Morgan to contribute to their show, Space: Above and Beyond but Darin declined their offer surprising them both by showing an interest in writing for Millennium when the two became the show's showrunners. Fearing that his quirky style would be ill at ease with Millennium's bleak canvas they tentatively gave him the opportunity. Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense and Somehow Satan Got Behind Me were the results. Over to DiRT to see what he made of the former.....
Well Chris Carter certainly liked Darin's work on Millennium citing it as amongst his favourite episodes of the entire show but that doesn't mean you have to agree. Tell us what you thought of the episode and of Dirt's review. Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense: a work of televisual genius or the vanity project of a man who didn't understand the show he was writing for. Take your pick and let us know.
As always, every new video we add to Youtube, or is added to Youtube for us, reaches out to a whole new audience and may find a Millennium who never knew of our campaign in the process. Don't forget, keep sending those letters and postcards toMr. Steve Asbell.
As always, lend your considerable support to the man and go visit his own websites and find out what it's all about. Remember, every video made for the this campaign is an indispensable way of reaching out to a potential new campaigner.

It has come to our attention that a slew of websites are beginning to report Millennium Movie speculation first served up by Screenrant.com and as the focal point of the campaign to bring Frank Black back to the screens we wish to clarify our position in light of this and advise you all on how to keep up with the most reputable information regarding a potential Millennium Movie.
BackToFrankBlack recently reported the tremendous news that Lance Henriksen had been approached by independent investors with regards to financing a Millennium Movie. Since we reported that news we have not been in receipt of any further information. Speculation that a movie has been commissioned is, to the best of our knowledge, simply that at present and as such no further information can be viewed as accurate at this time.
We are working hard to ensure that we bring you the most accurate information in light of any developments and our advice is simple: if you want to know the current status of any proposed Millennium project then BackToFrankBlack is the only source you can be sure will deliver up-to-date and credible information.
That said, we are delighted that the recent speculation continues to demonstrate what we have always known: that interest in, and a passion for, a return of Frank Black remains as fervent as ever.
We thank you for all your support and hope that you will keep abreast of any updates here. To speak to a member of the team about this or any other matter please contact us at info@backtofrankblack.com.
Time, once again, for W*****Wednesday™ (well we have to take a break from MusicMonday™ every now and again) and our jaunt into the world of Millennium Music Montages. Josef has forgone sleep (and you think I'm joking) to beaver away, Avatar-style, to bring you his latest multimedia release and we are truly grateful to him.
Josef takes the time to make these videos because he feels as passionately as we do about bringing Millennium back and anyone who frequents Youtube will know how much support and interest he is enjoying because of it and how many people have discovered us through his work. 'Jose Chung's Doomsday Defense' - where do you start? Darin Morgan is without a doubt a genius. His contributions to Millennium and our sister franchise, the X-Files are rightly heralded as some of the finest outings of both franchises and who are we to argue the masses? Take Darin Morgan, add a pinch of Josef's ingenuity and the following is the result. Grab your popcorn, plug in your Onan-O-Graphs and enjoy the proceedings. Remember: Don't be Dark!
As always, we thank our resident video alchemist Josef for taking this campaign and continuing to plug it in the vast abyss that is Youtube and we hope you will feel in some way inspired to follow in his footsteps and donate a little video magic of your own.
Now Josef's is a good chap and he relishes the opportunity to hear what you guys think about his work so don't be shy - post away. He regularly spends time hooked up to his own Onan-O-Graph so I can assure you he is very upbeat and not a Nostradamus Nutball at all! As promised, each music new release from Josef will be accompanied by a postcard that we urge you to send to Steve Asbell at 20th Century Fox. Making 20th Century Fox aware that we are here to stay and active in our support of a Millennium Movie is a vital way you can help this campaign achieve its ends. With am eager cast and crew and the financial support for a film currently being discussed they are the only fly in the soup with regards making this happen. Do not let up the fight. Stand loud and proud and send one more postcard.
To see the address you need to send this to as well as a range of others you might like to send, click here!

Chris Carter needs no introduction but as it's customary to follow those very words with an introduction allow me to do just that. Christopher Carl Carter (born October 13, 1956) is a screenwriter, producer and director best known as the creator of The X-Files and Millennium. Upon the creation and production of The X-Files in 1993, Chris Carter started a production company called Ten Thirteen Productions. It is named in honour of Carter's own birthday and anniversary, which is October 13. It will not be lost on any of you that today is that very date.
For any fan of Millennium or The X-Files, Ten Thirteen resonates as far more than a collection of numbers. Not only is it the birthday of their creator but those numbers appear throughout the episodes of all Ten Thirteen's output in recognition of the man who created them. Spotting them makes for a great drinking game I am told but due to the frequency of their appearance that might not be wise.
Yesterday I was contacted by a wonderful lady and ardent Ten Thirteen fan by the name of Joselyn, who shared with me a rather stunning video she has made to commemorate this special event and pay her tribute to Chris Carter and his wonderful work. It is a pleasure to bring her video tribute to you today and I'm sure you will enjoy it as much as do!
I thought the video was beautiful and a true testament to the creativity Chris Carter's various visions inspired, and continue to inspire, in the countless individuals who are fans of his work. On that rather wonderful note I hope you will join with all of us at BackToFrankBlack and Chris Carter's fans the world over in wishing him a very Happy Birthday!
