Finishing Up the Script for "Die Reise 3D". IndieGoGo Plans.

I know that Traumatic Possession 3D: Afterlife is the big one right now. I am still hammering away on it, but, my other passion project is Die Reise 3D. It's a script that I am collaborating on with a friend of mine from Germany. I am writing the film in English and my friend will translate the dialogue into German. German is second language as I lived there for a good three years. And I felt that if I want to show true acting range, give it in another language.

The basic gist of Die Reise 3D is that it takes place in Mexico. Since we do not have the money or resources to go to Mexico, we are buying stock footage from Clip Canvas. That means that we will need to get an IndieGoGo set up. Twenty clips of Mexico, storms, and coconut trees is a good $1.3k. There is a professional actor who is also interested in the project who has starred in movies all over the world. He even acted in a movie that Jackie Chan has produced. This actor will be playing the villain if we can get the funds to bring him to Mansfield. That will probably be another $1k.

Then, we need to get some money to buy Royalty Free music and I found some great pieces. I want to budget the film at a good $700 to make it rounded up to $3k. And then, finally, another thousand to take care of the cast and crew while we make the movie. Even though that this is a small budget, it will be a daring task.

An idea, if we can get the money from IndieGoGo, going back and doing a limited edition HD-DVD-R copy of the film for those die hard fans who still love that format. Hell, even BETA copies with the VHS! But, these are very expensive routes and I would have to pump out copies in these formats for a very expensive price tag. So, it's just something that's been on my mind.

I Cannot Confirm of Deny This.

While I was checking my IMDB page the other day after adding my headshot, I had noticed something was added to my directing credits. Something very big! I cannot confirm nor deny this credit. I am currently working on getting Traumatic Possession 3D: Afterlife and doing a documentary that we are currently filming right now. Cheers.

The Silence is Deafening.

The casting call is coming and soon...

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.
