About that time...

Despite several delays, I'm finally at the point to where I'm ready to release my short film to the world. I will admit though, more than anything, I am horrified at the possible range of reactions and emotions that this could illicit; everything from embarrassment over the production, to people not recognizing my talent for what it is.

Its one of those things though. I have to bite the bullet...if I don't...if I play it safe, I'll never know what could've been.

I'll repost in a few hours with the link to the uploaded video.

Long Time

Hey Gang!

I know, I know, its been a horribly long time since I've posted. I was just taking my sweet time. But boy do we have a lot planned for this summer.

Firstly, I'm going to start off this blog with a press release.

We at CSE, are making another movie. If you are familiar with our previous affair; you might be ready for a short film of admittedly; horribly low quality.

But thats not what your in store for!

Rather, Biohazard Zero is going to be a Short Film about the depth of human emotion; and how it can quickly turn against you in the fight for survival. The entire film is designed to be an examination of male machismo from inception, to its surprising end.

So make sure to keep on the look out!

Dont worry; I'll post again in a matter of days!

Interesting

Yesterday was my first day as a Project Director and acting Unit Director for a film production. Its kinda funny, I dont usually care about titles, but I can see how having one definatly does increase your self esteem. But I'm trying to keep my working class background inherent. "Fuck the title, gimme the paycheck." becomes "Fuck the title, lemme make my art."

Yeah. I'll have to be sure to not let it go to my head. And it will take conscious act of will not to be an ass.

But the project goes well. My writing goes well. Hopefully my fan base expands. So if anyone is interested, go ahead and follow this blog!

Emperor's Take: Paranormal Activity

Hey everyone. This one was a bit overdue, as everyone was talking about this new movie, paranormal activity. So I decided to see it, and review it, if only because I seem to have an extended period of writer's block, mostly due to other events happening in my life right now.

Okay, firstly, you have to remember, the movie was made for $11,000 USD, which is really good, considering that I've seen some movies made for $30,000 which definitely didn't look as professional as this. Admittedly, however, the budget requirements of this production weren't as much as others. Either way though, my hat is off to them, if this is the case.

So whats the plot you ask? A couple in a relationship have only recently moved in together. However, the girl brings with her, an entity not of this world. It starts off with simple lights being left on, or keys moved around, but soon progresses to full-out terror. I won't give anymore, but its definitely a worthwhile story, with a scary twist at the end.

However, for all of it's hype, I found the movie lacking. It wasn't frightening to me, and I felt that the scares were too predictable. And you dint need a huge budget to write a unique script. But despite all this, my hat is off to them for what marketing success they did have.

So whats my verdict? Should you see it? Currently there is nothing better in the market right now for scary movies, though that might change quickly, so if you are going to see something, you might as well see this. However, if you can hold off, you might as well see it on DVD or HBO.

One of the things I really liked about the movie was the use of the Gonzo POV for the film. It reminded me of Quarantine, and this is a great way to immerse someone into the plot. Its definately a great ride for someone who is interested in hauntings or possession.
