End of the Year. Final (?) Trailer Coming...

2012 is going to be no more after today. It's sad to see you go. But, on the bright side, we have lots of great things to expect in 2013! We have Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape debuting on January 12, 2013 at 11:30 pm in Columbus, OH at the Grandview Theatre. The film will be released on VCD, via CD-R, on January 15, 2013. Limited "Bootleg" Edition DVD-R will be released on March 5, 2013 with Into the Madness: A Documentary. The DVD-R release is only going to be 100 copies and will be autographed.

The VCD, retitled to Traumatic Possession 2D: The Tape, will be presented in 2.35 but will be stretched from 16:9 to 4:3. Once you have it playing, allow the television to stretch the image, so you will be able to see the film properly. I will also be putting a warning about this on the disc itself. The planned selling, don't hold me to this, is going at about $3. Release week, from January 15th to January 19th, the price will be lower, much lower.

I think after I get off work tonight, I'll get started on the scripting for Ghosts of Mansfield. I am at the point where I can pretty much see how the whole film is playing out and I need to get this all written down. I was talking to Stephen about it the other night at work. And this is probably going to be great horror movie and get him prepared to do his dream movie.

And I might get around to emailing the actress for Sadisme. It's starting to pick up steam. I was discussing this with my producer and she was getting excited that I want to make something like this and shoot it on actual film. I got back to Jordan and we discussed getting to work on the script this Summer.

It's currently 5:30 in the morning as I am writing this. The 3D conversion has been going on for about two and half hours and still has four to go. Hopefully, it'll be done by the time I get up. And I will be cutting another trailer, which will probably be the last one. Don't hold me to that. I might cut some promotional trailers whenever we have festival screenings.

Been Trying to Say This Since Friday Afternoon...

December 28th, 2012 at 12:29 P.M, Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape was completed.

Maze of Thought 3D; April 3, 2015.

Post-Production to Wrap on Friday.

Well, Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape, it's time to put you to bed. It's been a long and bitter sweet journey to get you finished. This may not be the perfect film, but, it'll do. I am listening to music while looking over the video and I'll look over the sound and see if all the music fits in to the film. It's been a long three years to get this completed. I look outside at the snow whenever I take breaks and see how desolate this town has become. The street hasn't been plowed at all and it's been snowing pretty much non-stop all day.

A part of me thinks back to all of the things that have happened on this journey. Met some good people who will be sticking with the company making movies with and for me. Going to be getting the script of Ghosts of Mansfield tackled on my way up to Maryland next week. This one has been taking about a good two years to get off the ground. And I have faith Stephen will do a good job directing the film. And once he's ready, he will be doing his dream film he's been telling me about.

I'll be sending the film out in the mail to both the copyright offices and to Bob. Bob, I cannot thank this man enough for getting my film on the big screen. It really is a dream come true. However, there's one person who will make January 12th, the perfect night for me. I know I will be in the theater and really bummed out to not see you there. I think it's probably going to kill me on the inside to be there and you won't. It would be a miracle that God himself would have to bend over backwards to make it happen...

I will also be getting screener copies ready. I am going to be contacting some people over the next few days about sending out copies to get reviewed. I don't care how bad they trash it or praise it, to me, any press is good press. Especially for a film made for only $200. I have feeling that this film will make some cash. Not crazy ass money like Paranormal Activity did. I added the film to the Blu-ray.com database and updated both the Blu-ray and DVD , for the "Limited 'Bootleg' Edition", entries for the film. I am confident we can get the "Bootleg" DVD sold out within the first month of release and look at a sweet $2k from the sales. And that is ten times the film's budget right there if all 100 copies sell.

Any who, I am going to watch an episode of Tosh.0 and then get back to work. I am pretty much going to pull an all nighter if I can. Also, one more thing, if it's you in the comments; tell me the truth. I'm tired of you hiding behind a veil of secrecy. It's painful. And here's a song to dedicate to you...

Bootlegged Trailer.

From December 8th, 2012.

Working on the opening scene to Juggernaut 3D. It's going to start with a bang. Picking a goatee for facial hair was a good choice for this role. I can't see myself in this character without the goatee.

"Ghosts of Mansfield" Gets a Director. Hint: Different Stephen. LOL.

We were talking today and I am officially confirming the director of Ghosts of Mansfield, Stephen McKinney. I am writing and producing the film and will probably edit it as well. I will be present at the shoot, however, keeping myself occupied with how takes come out and getting the script for Juggernaut 3D finished. Stephen has an idea for a war film and I want to get him trained and have his skills down before he tries to do that movie. It's an odd feeling to pass down a story that I created to another person, but, I have faith that he can do this. It had to happen sooner or later that I would start producing films. Abby will have some input on the film as well; once production advances on it.

Goal is to Ghosts of Mansfield released around May to September of this year.

VCD Release, Coming January 15, 2013. Plus, Exclusive 3D DVD-R's.

I am going to be starting the process of getting my LLC up and running come New Years. I will be creating a VCD release of the film since it's short enough. The VCD release will be at the low price of $2 to $4. I will be getting back around to my Exploitation of the Third-Dimension DVD-R series. I was planning on getting this going over the summer, but getting hit by a car shelved that from happening. I will be mastering these in 720p and I will be giving more updates on those as soon as I can.

We recorded the ADR on Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape over the weekend. I need to add the final touches to the film and it is in the can. Then once we get that all done, I will start creating the subtitle track, so I can get the ball rolling on the translations. Then, Wednesday, marks both the start for the post-production on Into the Madness: A Documentary and the beginning of the scripting/pre-production on Ghosts of Mansfield. Not sure if we're going to convert this one to 3D, it will be a decision made in post-production between myself and business partners. If I had to guess, it's possible it will be 3D.

I have been coming up with ideas and notes for my long gestating Night of the Living Dead II. I heard one of Rammstein's demos for Mein Land and this demo is instrumental and I think if I could get permission, it would go great with a shootout involving the humans and zombies. I have linked it below for your listening pleasure. Still thinking about how to give the character, "Bobby", his due with a solo film. Still also need to shoot the little planned TV pilot House Arrest.

On my end, getting use to being alone. Just going to be drinking and writing this Christmas. I went out tonight and had a burger and a nice tall glass of Sam Adams to wash down my "tasty burger". I don't think any woman in this town, that is my age, is attracted to me at all. You say you make movies and they pretty much just walk away. I am planning on going out this weekend and try to meet someone again. I try not to think of my ex-fiancee, but, it's a shame she threw four years away for nothing.

Well, that's all for tonight. I am getting a hair cut in a few hours. Then, after that, get ready...

Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape on January 12th at 11:30pm!

January 13th, Prepare Yourself for 70 Minutes of 3D Horror!

We begin ADR this weekend. Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape is officially clocking in 70 minutes. This journey is over! I will begin the final edit on Into the Madness: A Documentary next week. The final output size on the film in Sony Vegas is 9.2 GB. So, we still have about 40 GB to burn on the Blu-ray release. It was finished last night and I celebrated by taking a shot of Southern Comfort. January 13th, I'm ready for you!

DONE!

"Give Me Your Eyes", New Rammstein Song.

Today is payday. I took my check and cashed it in at the bank and am going to be doing some Christmas shopping for my family. All they are getting is gift cards, I did get my brother and sister some DVDs I am sure they will like. I am waiting for my credit card payment to clear so I can order the new Rammstein single Mein Herz Brennt: Piano Version from Grooves Inc. I was on the Rammstein website and watched their new music video for Mein Herz Brennt, and I thought it was ok.

I do like this new song that they made called Gib Mir Deine Augen which translates to Give Me Your Eyes. It has this mixture of what feels like an older and newer Rammstein song. And I cannot wait for this new Blu-ray to come out with all of the music videos. This looks like it's going to be awesome. I'm hoping that they remastered them in HD and went back to original elements to some of their older music videos. I am not sure how some of them were shot, like Du Riechst So Gut and Seemann, Were they shot on VHS or film?

I got four Godzilla DVDs on the way from Thailand from eBay. They claim to be "Remastered", let's see how true this turns out to be. I got the supposed "remastered" version of Godzilla Vs Spacegodzilla and it was just a copy of the Sony DVD with some altered menus. And when I mean "altered menus", the set up page was changed to have the Thai audio select-able. I got the DVDs for Godzilla Vs Megalon, Godzilla Vs Mechagodzilla, GMK, and I'm not sure if it's the 1964 or 1992 Godzilla Vs Mothra coming. It shows the 1992 artwork on the cover, but, I have been mislead before.

I'm starting to make inquiries about Sadisme. I am starting to ask around for agent info for some actresses in the "adult" industry. There's three ladies that I have in mind and I will not disclose that information at this time. I will say this about one, she has a very natural look which draws my interest in seeing if she would be interested in the role of female character, Eve. I am planning on getting a Super 8mm cartridge soon to test out and see how good my camera is. We were originally going to shoot the short film I am slowly working on called Wonder, but, I've scrapped that idea. Some of this test footage will possibly end up in Juggernaut 3D in the "nightmare" sequences.

About to go to work; but before I do, I am planning on making a trip to Best Buy to look for some Blu-rays. I am wanting to get my hands on Tales From the Crypt: Ritual and the Westerns Unchained Blu-ray. Might go catch Man with the Iron Fists tonight at the dollar. I still got some more work to do and I plan on having the final cut finished tomorrow and then working on the sound mix until the end of the month on Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. January 13th is going to be a fun night.

London, "Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape" is Coming.

London, it's coming. Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape is going to be invading the U.K. and I couldn't be more than excited for it. Hopefully, if it screens well, we can get it some distribution over there in the U.K. I am about to head out to see Pulp Fiction here in a bit. I thought I would share this with you all.

"Juggernaut" is a Nightmare. "Sadisme" is Love. Update on the "Halloween 3D" Pitch.

No, not the X-Men character. Juggernaut is about a nightmare; one that spirals out of control. Several things that have inspired it are the films Crank, Limitless, and the novel Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. It will have elements of strong action with horror. Currently, I am working on the notes and planning on writing the script around Christmas after Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape is finished. With all of the notes I am writing out, it's a nightmare based on some personal experiences. Where life goes to hell and there's nothing to stop it from happening.

If I could and I doubt it, there's a British actress I want to get on board for the film. IMDB has her agent's contact information, but I doubt it would do any good, and she'd probably laugh it off as a joke. But, you never know unless you try. Be like; "Hey, $10k for a day of work plus the travel fare?" The film will also be converted to anaglyph 3D. All films I make will be converted to the old school 3D.

Then there's Sadisme, which has been in the works for the past two years. It's finally picking up steam again. Who knows when we will actually have cameras rolling on it. I am planning on filming it with my Super 8 camera. This one will be my NC-17 film like Lust, Caution. Without a doubt, this will be NC-17 and possibly banned in some countries. I want to cause an outrage with how far you can push the limits on love in film. I am planning three different cuts; 2.35:1; open matted version; and anaglyph 3D version. The open matted version will be the 1.37:1 Super 8mm footage mixed with the 1.78:1 HD footage.

The Halloween 3D pitch is still happening. I am planning on filming in late January after Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape has it's release. Planning on uploading it in 2D and 3D once we get the pitch completed.

New Trailer You Won't See. 3D Movies...

I posted a new trailer for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape on Youtube yesterday morning. You won't find it, though. It's an unlisted video and I uploaded it for Bob who is running the show. I got the confirmation that he got the trailer. We will have a bootlegged trailer of said trailer after it debuts on December 8th. Work is a burn out and it's making it hell for me to finish editing my film. But, I am off on Wednesday and Thursday and I will be doing strapping down and doing a hardcore editing session.

Last night after getting off work, I decided to watch two movies converted into the old school Red/Blue 3D, Men in Black 3 and Saw. Saw really wowed me. Especially with all of the footage with Dr. Gordon and Adam in the room together really worked in three dimensions. Especially towards the end of the film when Adam plays the tape. I also played back the new trailer for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape and the 3D looked great, even for a shot of lightning which I filmed about two years ago.

I am growing a goatee right now after writing notes for the next possible film, which I am currently calling Juggernaut. I will debut the look at the premiere of TP3D. Tomorrow, I am planning on picking up a Blu-ray copy of Godzilla Vs Biollante. Cannot wait!
