YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED!

FOOTLIGHTS: Creating A Tulpa

An ElfTree Media PODsterity Special

In the fall of 2015, a rag-tag group of creatives in Los Angeles came together to create a short film. What happened would shape the next 10 years of their lives in a way that they never could have imagined.

On August 31st, 2025, we invite you to participate in the recording of an all-encompassing Video Podcast Special, in which these 3 visionaries will share the story of what they created…

WHAT’S IN STORE

  • A chronological review of the creation process of an online legend, from the first words written to the last signature signed on the purchase agreement.

  • Photographs, marketing materials, script drafts and behind the scenes documentation that hasn’t seen the light of day since it was first created or captured.

  • Audio recordings of the first reveal of Olivia Mabel, un-used theme songs, interview clips and forgotten voicemails left on oliviamabel.com…

  • Never before seen video clips including raw brainstorming, creating the original website, behind the scenes and uncontrollable laughter from 3 complete, yet loveable, idiots.

  • Enhancements from Artificial Intelligence to further realize the vision of the importance of friendship, passion and teamwork.

  • And so much more!

WHY IS THIS IMPORTANT?

  • Take the time to preserve the stories, the photographs, the small mementos that mean so much. This is your legacy to future generations. Give it the attention it deserves.”

    Laurence Overmire

  • Memor[ies] can change the shape of a room; [they] can change the color of a car. And memories can be distorted. They're just an interpretation, they're not a record, and they're irrelevant if you have the facts.

    Leonard Shelby, “Memento”

  • "Memories were the markers of the journey through life. It was necessary to know where you had come from. Only then could you know where you were going."

    William Shatner

  • "The heart’s memory eliminates the bad and magnifies the good."

    Gabriel García Márquez

  • "Memories are not just about the past. They determine our future."

    Jeff Bridges

What Do You

Need To Know?

  • Please bring headphones or earbuds with a microphone, a good internet connection, a cup of tea and some good green. Otherwise, just bring yourself!

  • Need? No way. Everything has been crafted and prepared for you. Just PREPARE to have a great evening.

    If you WANT to prepare anything, just think of any unique stories, thoughts, issues or photos/videos you may have that you could share.

  • Our goal is a 2 hour recording session, plus a few minutes for tech issues, plus maybe 2× 10 minute breaks? 6pm-8:30pm PT?

  • It’s actually really easy. We’re using a service called Streamyard, and if you have a webcam and a mic, Streamyard can record you cleanly and upload the recordings to their servers automatically.

    Just make sure you have decent light, a quiet room and a mic (highly suggested)

  • Just us! Thats the beauty. This show is meant to be a gift, not just from Ian to his partners in this endeavor, but to future us, from present us, honoring and remembering past us.

    Mementos of major events in life can be important and very appreciated as the years pass. What better way to create this memorial of an incredible time in our lives than to do what we do best? Create art and make a podcast! Something to watch as we get older…

    …and no, Martyn, you’re not fucking old! You geezer.

  • No. The short answer is no.

    BUT, like you can expect from ElfTree, it would be 100% acceptable to dress it up for the 10 year anniversary. Come however you’d like! Ties, hats, slippers, nipple tassles… you be you!
