Hey, What's up everyone?
I'm the director of this movie and I figured I'd stop by and chat.
As far as the movie being distributed, that all depends on how the final product turns out and if we get the right deal. So many filmmakers get screwed over on DTV deals, so it's hard to say that we will get a deal worth taking.
Other than that if anyone has any questions feel free to ask. I guess I could update the progress of the movie during post production. I plan on working for around 10-18 hours per weekend on it, but there is a lot of work still to do. And since we really don't have a crew, I will be doing pretty much everything (editing, sound fx, digital fx, score, color correcting, mixing, etc.).
Our budget was very low, so think of this like Robert Rodriguez with El Mariachi, since our equipment was around $8-9k, but our production budget was dirt cheap at around $1k. If you want to compare that (budget) to another low budget horror movie, the movie Sleepover Nightmare was made for $200,000+ and had around 53 crew members. We had our cast and at max 2 other people for crew at anytime. Most of the time I was the cameraman and we would usually have someone on the boom, it was rare when I actually got to direct from the production monitor (which was a treat), but that's what we had to work with.
I'm not sure if I want to release it myself or have a distribution company do it, but I plan on making a hell of a DVD with tons of outtakes, extras, commentary. So either way it goes, the DVD should definately be worth a pick up (not just a lame trailer for extra features).
Until Later...
