We are in the process of moving our content from a single blog to three separate ones, divided by content. In the future, interviews will be featured in Close Encounters of the Per Kind; music in Beyond Belief Music and photography, visuals and film will be in Pasadena Pulse. It is our hope that this will make it easier for the reader in the end.

During this transition period, most of the old content will not be available as it gets individually evaluated and categorized. We apologize for the inconvenience and look forward to offering you a superior experience at the end of the transition.

On Track to Start Casting Sessions Next Month

Posted on June 25, 2011 by Per Lichtman

It’s my first weekend back from Seattle and Johannes just signed off on the last major decision I had to make in adapting short story “On Teaching Mandatory Harassment Seminars in Visalia“ into a short film screenplay, that I’m scheduled to direct later this year. Current plans call for casting sessions to begin next month and interested parties should read the published original short story at American Short Fiction, then e-mail pasadenapulse@gmail.com.

Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth Interview

Posted on July 19, 2010 by Per Lichtman

Today I met Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth for the second time on their ongoing Distant Worlds project. The interview was incredibly engaging and I can’t wait to post it in its entirety. But today I just wanted to thank Leanne Araya and Chris Szuberla at AWR Music for setting it up, Nobuo Uematsu’s manager Hiroki Ogawa for translating and of course Nobuo Uematsu and Arnie Roth for generously giving of their time and energy to give one of their most engaging interviews to date.

Special thanks to my partner in crime, Ashley Nunn, for her help shooting video and stills during the interview.
