New Developement

Just before halloween oct.28 i got a call from cassie who is one of the main characters in the film.She was talking about it with a couple people and some one was interested in what she had to say a fellow zombie lover christopher Macquarrie she gave me his card with contact information including email so i send him a message.He had cameras and editing equipment and had done some work himself (BigMAn Productions).He responded and was more that happy to share any information.So i will call him in the next day or so here and find out if he rents out his equipment hom much.Or at the very least where he got it and how much maybe some tips on cheap effects.Still moving forward.

Script Re-write(New character)

Well witht his new location alot more things are coming to mind .another person in the mix i think more to do with the house itself.Before i was just going to do a bit of location shots and do the rest in town in garages wherever i could.but now with this new location so close i could spend more time there and it screamed to be used.So when i first attempted this venture i was at erie wares house and met Shane Mould aka Steve Moss.He had done some wokr with a buddy of his and also had a love of horror especially zombie genre as did i.he said he would be my bruce campbell if i needed him.well as luck would have it ernie was getting married and shane ended up sitting beside me at the wedding.we talked and i got his number he was trying to get some writing off the ground so again we had common ground.About a week or 2 later i called him and invited him over to see if he would be intereseted still.He was ,and now is on board hell stgar in the film and well co write the next wre-write of the script.Things are rolling this is great i might not have done much in the last almost 2 years now.but hinigs are still happening and moving forward.

Location


Well its been a long time since i have posted on here.havent had anything to put up though.time off of the drills and trying to put that time to use.So i thought i would go location hunting,the location i wanted is up tranquille creek area but up towards seven lakes.Havent been up there in 5 years but was determined to find it.IN the meantime i had heard rumors of some sort of abondonded settlement that was up pinitan-pritchard road so me and matt ramage decided to take our cameras and head up there in search of some sweet pics and maybe another location possability.this was oct.15.We never found any such thing when we went up we were coming down into pritchard above the trailer park side just at the tree line.thought wed drive down a bit see the area and then turn around.well on our way down off to the left was the perfect place.there was an old farm house and sheds just off to the left of it.Couldnt beleive my luck we got out and walked up taking pictures as we went.Matt wouldnt go 10 feet from it.I went right up to it but only peeked my head in and took a few pics inside.This was perfect and only 25 minutes from my house.The enxt day i searched for information ,who owned it ,how long has it been there?First place i phoned was the the town of chase administration, they didnt have a clue and said it was part of the TNRD anyway.So back to the phonebook again and the land titles department,another dead end they couldnt tell me anything without detailed information about it.at the minimum i need the fire number and there wasnt tanything on the property close to a number.So thge next5 day o0ct.17 now i decided just to go up and hassle the neighbors for information.when i got up there just below the property was a house so i decided to ask them first.It was there property ed hasslebrook and his wife he wasnt there at the time so i talked ot his wife explained that i wanted to make a short film and she said she didnt have a problem with it ,i just had to talk to her husband to make sure it was all good.I thanked her and left.the next day oct.18 i called back and confimed with her husband he said it wouldnt be a problem as well .I still want to go back up and talk to them once more to explain exactly what iwas going to be doing making a horror movie just to make sure everything is clear.This was the house he had grown up in and dont want to do anything to disrespect him in any way they are helping me out greatly by doing this wether they know it or not.Noe the less im fricking stoked i have a location thats creepy as shit and is perfect it was made for this.
