I want to thank all who gave me much love at the festival last weekend. I could not have dreamed that the response would've been like that! Naked Man was off the hook!
So big news. I'm producing more episodes this summer. And Felix will be back too! I also asked Ross to direct them and he said yes!
So, look for more Naked Man by the end of the summer! Kid
