{"title": "Lunatics! Episode 1 has dropped. And I have thoughts!!!", "timestamp": 1784152213.9622295, "description": "[Lunatics!](https://lunatics.tv/) is a Open-Movie project by [Rosalyn Hunter]() and [Terry Hancock](). I was following their socials ( mainly their [Peertube account](https://tv.filmfreedom.net/c/lunatics_wip) ) for quite some time now. And today, about an hour ago they released an unfinished version of [episode one](https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/k78opNzwmp19J1N2tLC357). Why does it matter? Well, they are working on it, if I understand correctly, since 2003, ( based on [this video](https://tv.filmfreedom.net/w/2jW47DuRLHzNZiRZ7srfUR) ). This unfinished episode is, therefor, 23 years in the making. My [Moria's Race](/films/Moria's_Race) short-film with its 3.5 years is nothing in comparison.", "author": {"avatar": "https://blenderdumbass.org/pictures/favicon.png", "bio": "Aka: J.Y. Amihud.
