Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape - Vol. II
Well, I've kept the news quiet on Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape - Vol. II. While I am about to finish what I feel is the final draft, we will start casting by the end of the month and do a rapid shoot which will last hopefully around two to three weeks. I am keeping the tagline from Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. I intact for this film; "Simon Lange is Dead, But His Legacy Continues".
This is what I can finally let people know about the film, the film takes place in two points of time; 2007 and 2018. The 2018 parts take place three years after Simon Lange's death. The 2007 segments are the events that follow after the Tape. We will not let the viewers know directly how Simon Lange is killed as this is saved for Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. III.
Mostly everyone will come back from the first film in some sort of way. I did write notes for a scene to fit in the script for a flashback for Abby to return to the film. It's all weather or not if she wants to come back and do the scene. I am giving her an associate producer credit for the film as she helped with the development of the plot for the film. Jaime will be playing and getting full credit for Simon Lange in the film even though I will be looping over his dialogue in ADR and adding in insert shots of my face whenever the mask comes off. I will be playing Damien Frost, a killer who has had his face burned off. I had written a screenplay called Damien Frost: The Killer Without a Face in 2009 and have been wanting to make a movie featuring this character. And my plan for making his film appearance was that his first film is to be his last in the chronological and viewing order.
The antagonist for this film as well as the Hawai'i trilogy is a character simply known as "The Villain". Simon Lange will have a run for his money in the next trilogy. "Villain" will show up in this film as they are in a few pages. I have two people who are possibly interested in the role which means that we'll have to have them audition and we'll have to see and decide who gets the role. The real antagonist of The Tape - Vol. II is a someone who is known as "The Follower". This person is someone who idolizes and at the same time loathes Simon Lange.
We're currently getting equipment together as I need to order some new SDHC cards for filming. Hope this news helps. Looking forward to a May 2015 release. Also, can't wait for Godzilla in 2016!

The Next Films & the Funding.
Ok, let's discuss future projects for a minute. We're getting the ball rolling on Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. I, which is the working title for the film. I am planning on going the Indiegogo route to try get funding for the next few films. Simon Lange is making a big comeback in 2015. I am going to try to get two TP3D films out in 2015. One film is Hawai'i - Vol. I and one that I am keeping under wraps for the time being. Which one is being filmed first? Don't be surprised if Hawai'i doesn't come until the end of 2015.
Die Riese 3D aka The Journey 3D is probably going to be filming as soon as the weather warms up. It's a very small and personal film which I want to film in the span of a week if I can get proper funding for the film.
And finally, one that I have had a few people ask me about is Night of the Living Dead. I have been in contact with another indie filmmaker about making his vision of the George Romero film. That film is up in the air and it's still one that I would like to do after reading the treatment that I was given. With these past few months, I have been creating a linear story line that I could possibly cut it together with George Romero's film and make it a giant three hour epic. So, Orlando Eastwood's Night of the Living Dead 3D will probably film around Summer 2015 with a Christmas 2015 release.

Traumatic Possession - Present & Future
I know that I haven't made a post in a few months. I have had a lot going on; biggest was the passing of Scout back in May. It was a nightmare. However, today is a big day! My girlfriend and I are going to be working on creating the new mask for Simon Lange in Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. I. Most of the script has been written for the film and we'll be making a few changes to the story to blend it together. Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. II is half way completed. And, I am slowly hatching the story for Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. III. I have posted about it on Facebook. I am making the third entry a tie-in to the first part and by the time the third film is shot, edited, and completed; we will be able to edit the three volumes into one giant three and a half hour film and screen it around.
Regarding the mask that Simon Lange wore in Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape; it's at my parent's house. And since in the script, a few years has passed, he will be wearing a new mask that I will be unveiling on the 25th. This mask will not be the same plain-white, blood-soaked mask. It will be customized and Simon Lange will have a new mask for each film. Is it possible that the old mask might make an appearance? It's possible, flashbacks are predominant in Hawai'i - Vol. II.
Will Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i - Vol. III be the last time that I portray Simon Lange? It is a chapter that I want to close on my acting career, but, never say never.

Where Did I Go?
Hey...
Sorry I have been busy. Getting all the stuff finished soon. New girlfriend and getting a replacement PS3 has been keeping me busy in between editing. Will be shooting a secret project in May or early June. Peace.

1st Anniversary and Traumatic Possession 4!
A year has past and I look back at Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape being a turning point in my life. I am where I am at in life. I've essentially gone through and cut out what I wanted too in the original theatrical cut for the film and I'm getting everything set with the alternate footage. And, I am announcing Traumatic Possession 4! Actually, it's not a fourth film, I am splitting up Traumatic Possession 3D: Hawai'i into two films. I am going to be bumping Traumatic Possession 3D: Apocalypse back to 2016. TP3D:A is one that I really want to make, but, I need a budget. This makes ten Traumatic Possession films; after TP3D:A, we're going to take a hiatus on the series and Simon Lange probably won't be back until 2025.

Post-Production Shuts Down on "Into the Madness". Mother Nature is a Bitch!
Happy 2014 to all. I hope that you are all having a much better time than I am. Plans to go out and film Dr. Bob and everything for the one year retrospect were shit canned by the fact that Dr. Bob's show has been cancelled at the Grandview Theatre. We're trying to figure something out and I hope that I can keep my plans of having Dr. Bob and his assistant Nurse Feratu involved in the documentary. After all, they have given me my break in terms of getting a theatrical release. My film would probably still be nowhere with me spazzing out about getting it done.
Now, this is where shit hits the fan, winter has slammed Ohio hard. On Monday, January 6th, we have experienced - 40 F weather. I decided to walk to work which is just down the road to my house, that was a horrible walk and I begin to get the first signs of frost bite which is known as "frost nip" in my legs. I am ok. My body is fine. However, with the temperature being this below zero, my pipes have frozen!
After I had gotten home from work on Monday, I decided to take a nap because my legs were still somewhat numb after eight hours of running around at work. I got home after 5:30 pm and texted a lady friend and took a nap. I woke up at 10 pm and decided to go to the bathroom. I flushed and noticed that the water did not completely come up to where it's supposed too. I soaped my hands up and turned on the sink and nothing. I opened my closet in the bathroom and checked the water heater and it's fine.
After making some phone calls and the fact it was getting colder, I actually went out and pulled out several pieces of my trailer skirting and went under my trailer to search for the cat and finally yank him out from where he's been hiding. However, he was not there, which happens from time to time and I hope he's safe and warm.
So, now, I am not at home. If one of the water pipes inside my home happens to burst, I am up a certain creek without a paddle. I unplugged my television and my equipment and pulled out and moved all of my celluloid prints. While my film prints are things and can be somewhat replaced, they are too valuable to be destroyed! So, nothing is getting done, at all! Things are at a stand still. My luck is shitty so far. I hope this streak can end and I can get the film completed by the end of the month.
