Tundra 10: Ice Wall

“Water can carve its way, even through stone. And when trapped, water makes a new path.”

Memoirs Of A Geisha

(..Unless it’s frozen.)

Winter is Experience Film’s kryptonite, says a decade’s-worth of site data. Thus, I’ve made an informed decision to stagger the release of Episode Two. The first half will release February 3, 2026, with the second half arriving in Spring. While not ideal, I think the decision will ultimately benefit both the project and the mental health of its editor. The new release dates also reflect the season change that occurs in the narrative: Winter –> Spring/Summer.

Quality is most important. And I’m pleased to announce Episode Two will see EF’s highest image and sound quality to date. Thanks to a major recent workflow overhaul. As of this month, December 2025, Experience Film is editing in true 4K ProRes for the first time ever. This means the amount of pixel data in every frame has increased by two full orders of magnitude. Video files that used to be 4GB are now 400GB! No more crushed picture for budget’s sake.

Sound quality is also increasing. I’m now preserving the 5.1 sound mixes from the disks. So anybody with extra speakers should start to notice the difference in the coming years. Eventually I will mix my own sound edits in 5.1 as well. Currently I just do stereo (L/R).
Vouzle-VOUS! Despite being a rhythmic hit!🙌 Is a goner in terms of picture quality— flattened beyond repair. The quality boost will occur immediately after this opening dance scene in the episode.

I’m reading Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s memoir, “Nobody’s Girl” for homework, while also awaiting the December 19 “release” of the Epstein files. Despite there being zero reason to suspect we’re not going to be stonewalled yet again. I would cut my own creative arm off for this to not be the case. No, Experience Film is prepared for the long fight. Sucker Punch AΩ is intended to keep me, and anyone who wants to join in, as audience, as co-creators (start editing!) sane for the remainder of our lives. It’s important to be able to take our own jabs at injustice as we see fit.

We are about six weeks away from Episode 2: Independence Day (Part 1/2). It will arrive just in time for the Winter Olympics, which entirely fits the setting of the rest of the episode— Ice! EF will make his cameo as a comedic ice sculptor🥽🧊 a la Crispin Glover from Hot Tub Time Machine. Winter may be Experience Film’s kryptonite, but that’s never stopped him from admiring the season of bitter discontent. Prepare to “CHILL.” And bring your skates!
