If you liked the Serpent and the Rainbow, check out my indy horror film


I've been a huge fan of horror films my whole life, especially zombie films. I'm working on my own film right now, scheduled to shoot in early 2011. It's a low budget film, but you have to start somewhere, right? I'd love to get feedback from some fans and I figured where better to go than straight to the films the fans love most! Let me know what you think of the concept and if you like it, be sure to tell other fans you know to check it out too! I appreciate all the support!

You can see info and production art for the film at either of these sites:

Thanks to the support of all you fans out there, our facebook page has gone up from 70 fans less than a week ago to 120 fans today! Thanks so much for all your support and all your great feedback. We're in talks with a couple of great veteran actors that you know and love to join the film, so everyone involved is very excited about our progress. Be sure to check out our facebook page and "like" it. The more fans, the merrier!

Also, please check out our kickstarter page as well. You could become a producer on the film, get to play one of the zombies in the film or get tons of other great prizes!

We're trying to raise money so that our independent film can afford the best equipment possible on a low budget. No one is being paid to work on the film, so all of your money will show up on the screen! Any contribution you can afford would help us so much! Thanks for your support!

Even if you can only give $1, that is great! I'm no mathematician, but if 1000 people each give $1, that's a million dollars!!! Or something...

Looking forward to hearing your feedback!

For all of those who have supported the film and inquired about it, I wanted to let you know that I have just seen the first rough cut of the film and it's looking great! We also just got our IMDB page up and running. It has a full cast and crew list, along with the first pictures from the film. It would be great if you could check and let me know what you think. Feel free to leave feedback on the page:

Looks like a great cast, getting Roebuck and Davison is impressive.

I was wondering if you'd be willing to give an overview of how you approached promotion for it, and promotion in general? Or if you've written about this anywhre on the web; a blog or interviews? My partner is a filmmaker who has been producing no budget stuff for a decade (only had a budget on one award winning short), we're now moving into promoting and crowdfunding bigger projects, but have that feeling there are massive potential areas of promotion that we aren't familiar with exploiting out there :p Would love any feedback on how you got attention for your kickstarter page and production in general...

Sure, no problem. I'll send you a PM and tell you anything you'd like to know. This is really my first experience with crowdfunding a project as well, but I'd be happy to share my experience with you.

I too would like to know simply what it took for you to get where you are now (making a film of your own) and what is making your own film like! I too someday hope to make my own film as well and like to hear your experiences in that feild of work!
