Master Class in Filmmaking
 

I started a thread last month about trying to chose between a young, up and coming director and an established genre giant. Well, we're going with the giant, but he has quite a few script notes and want to "kick our ass" for a couple of weeks or rewriting.

Normally I'd tell any number of people to go screw, that we know how to write and they simply don't get it. But the man giving us these notes is none other than XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

That's right. I'm going to be spending a great deal of time over at XXXXXXXXXXXXX's house as he helps us whip this script into shooting shape. We'll be learning from the creator of xxxxxxxxxxx, xxxxxx, xxxxxxx, xxxxxx, etc. I'm ecstatic! People would pay good money to learn from a master of the craft, but he's going to be working us over because he likes our writing and wants to direct our script titled LA GOTHIC!!!

I'll be keeping a journal of the experience and will keep you all posted. I'm such a geek.

pictures, man, pictures!!!!

I need to get a camera phone so I can be sort of discreet about it.

i'm sure if you ask the great man, he wouldn't mind the odd one.

Yeah, but I'm trying to meet him on his level - not look like a novice or a startstruck kid (which will be a tough one to supress:o )

As our relationship progresses, I hope We'll be able to snap a few pix together - but until then I plan on snapping quite a few clandestine shots to document the process. This is so once-in-a-lifetime I can barely stand it.:D

Fucking awesome. Congratulations dude! This is huge for you!!! I can tell how thrilled you are about it (rightfully so) so I'm really happy for ya. I can't wait for the updates!!!

Who was the up-and-comer that was also in consideration? Aja?

Thanks.

No it wasn't Aja - whew - it was Scott Glosserman who's Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon comes out next month. He would be a fine choice as he is really smart, really cool and totally loves the genre. I'm hoping we'll get to work with him in the not-to-distant future.

Holy shit! Congratulations!

That is so cool! Congratulations, man!

No doubt. When you meet him, make sure to let him know he's responsible for 2 of HDC's top 5 horror films of all-time, but if he has to ask which ones... Tell him Ghosts of Mars & Vampires. haha
