Which leads me to the title of this blog. A film to be made. Not necessarily a feature length one, but instead a teaser trailer of a film that may never be made. Why do you ask am I doing something so bizarre? Is it because people are still into the whole Grindhouse fever? No, I would've jumped the bandwagon the year ago when everyone else was doing it (my personal favorite being Hobo With a Shotgun, which is now being made into a feature length movie.).
The reason is that Tommy, Steve and myself have realized Best Buy is not our lives, but a means to get some cash so we can raise our families and be able to live in our separate apartments. Those two are probably the most creative guys I've ever had the pleasure of meeting, let alone they hold me in high regard for my imagination as well.
So by the end of the year there will be a teaser trailer made. Something horrifying, hopefully getting us known to all the big shots out there. It's part of a grander scheme of things, which is this competition on this site , a Spanish film making site, with some of the greatest horror directors and writers in the field today (creators of both .Rec and The Orphanage, to give two examples). The winner gets a grand prize of $18,000 to putt toward a short film to be completed by September of next year.
I haven't been this excited for a long time. Danyell is fully behind me, even giving me the basis of the idea; the thread of horror that will have people shaking in their little skivvies. The more ideas we were coming up with, the more intense the story became. Soon, if the time permits, I might post up some of either Danyell's or Steve's storyboards for the trailer.
You're going to want to see it to believe it. Let alone come long for the ride.
