“Dark Ones” Update and Video
| From : anti-socialmedia.net
Published to Film making
I reckon, even if you have the ambitious plan to shoot a feature film with your iPhone, you are going to come face-to-face at some point with some level of bureaucracy that will impede you, even for a short time, from moving forward with your small-scale project. Making a feature film is a big thing – people will tell you – you need a massive crew and everyone has to get paid.

Yes, I went about the whole process completely backwards. My novel, “Resurrection City”is now available in paperback from Amazon.com (it has been available in digital format for a couple of weeks now). It’s a (strange) love story of a group of self-absorbed and selfish modern people faced with the extinction of mankind at the hands of the undead (specifically zombies). It’s bloody, funny and sometimes touching. So pick up a copy! Read Full Story

Why Crowdfunding Films Doesn’t Work

In looking around at other Kickstarter and Indiegogo campaigns, bemoaning our fate (only $200 raised so far!), and wondering how other projects do it, I have come to an inescapable conclusion: other projects don’t do it. The success for independent films going the pure crowdfunding route has got to be so completely minuscule it boggles the mind. Don’t get me wrong: there are some pretty hefty “amount raised so-far” figures out there, but how much of those totals come from complete strangers... Read Full Story

Published to Film making
Shooting on “The Dark Ones” is about 25% complete and we are ramping our way up to 3-4 day full crew shoot with additional actors and special makeup so we’re now turning to you for some assistance (via IndieGoGo) in reaching our meagre budgetary goal of $2790 (yeah, that is pretty small, but the budget so far has only been $173.11!!!). You, personally can pull everything from a “special thanks” at the end of the film to a full-blown producer credit at the start (plus a sneak peak at the... Read Full Story
