Happy Thanksgiving to all. Hope all had a good one. Nothing much new to report from the previous post the other day. Right now I am dropping the title Traumatic Possession 3D: A New Beginning; I will be referring to it as Traumatic Possession 3D - Part 2. I am going back and forth from home to the local movie theater to see this actress' performance, the one I want for Traumatic Possession 3D - Part 2. I also have another one of her film's on Blu-ray, but she only had a bit part; it's not much to work with. I want her for this film. If I cannot get this actress, I will not make the film! I want this actress on board, badly.
There's a comedian I want to get for this as well. I think what we'll do is shoot a fifteen minute pitch and send the pitch to both of their agents. Once we screen Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape and then have the DVD and Digital release and we will start production on the pitch. Who knows, maybe I'll be able to afford to shoot with an actual 3D camera.
I did do some Black Friday shopping after I got off work. I was at Target and got what I was after; Prometheus on Blu-ray for $10 and Call of Duty: Black Ops for the PS3 for $15. Also went over to Best Buy and picked up Project X and Wrath of the Titans for $4 each. So, it wasn't a complete bust, but, last Black Friday was better.
I will be doing all the paper work here in the next few weeks and getting my business started. It's a very tiring process and I have to get to an EID and a bank account set up before I start selling the film on Amazon. I am looking forward to getting it all taken care of.
Peace out.

Happy Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving was ok. Was pleasantly surprised when I saw that the dollar theater got Silent Hill: Revelation 3D, but was only in 2D. Saw it again for the third time and plan to probably catch it again on either Monday or Tuesday when I have my next day off. I am about to head out to my job and start my Black Friday duties. Hopefully, this will be my final year and Winter 2013, I will be chilling on the shores of Waikiki.
Have a great Thanksgiving, y'all. And if you're in Columbus, there's going to be a special new trailer coming December 8th for Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. So, stay tuned. And I am not posting this on Youtube either. Can't be posting all of my material on Youtube.

Going Through "Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape".
I am in the process of editing together Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. I think come December, after it's finished, I will start working on the script for the sequel; Traumatic Possession 3D: A New Beginning. How long it will take before it gets made is all up to how much money the film and my other projects make in DVD sales on Amazon. There's an actress who I want to get and I am prepared to pay up for an IMDb Pro account to get the contact information. This actress has done horror before, but, I know this one will not be a cheap sell.
I am going through the editing process and going through the original 1.78:1 footage we shot with. It's driving me apeshit looking at the film filling up the whole television screen. I keep telling myself; "It will be back in scope soon!"
The main reason why I am editing the old 1.78:1 footage is so I can create the old full-frame, 1.33:1, version for the "Video Cut". I was also reading Michael J. Bassett's blog a while ago where he talked about having to create a cropped 1.33:1 cut for Silent Hill: Revelation 3D. I am working on title screens and making sure that I can keep them dead center without losing any of them in 2.35:1 or in 1.33:1.
It's surreal to think that Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape will be getting a theatrical screening. I want to thank Dr. Bob Tesla for taking a chance on me. This is something that I am extreme proud of and cannot thank this man enough. I am going to be cutting a special trailer for the December 8th show.
I bought two video games yesterday; Army of Two: The 40th Day and Medal of Honor for the PS3. Paid about $20 for both of those games together. Started really getting into Medal of Honor, but, I am not playing it too much as I am finishing the film. I liked going in and killing terrorists. Gives me an idea for a war film.

Picture Locks on December 20th, 2012. And Stalkers.
Ok, I am still alive. Loving the new place, not planning on getting internet. However, I am working on finishing Traumatic Possession 3D: The Tape. Abby Smith, my co-producer has been helping me go through and weed through it. We will start the sound mix here in another week or so. Picture will be locked on December 20th. That's when I will be mailing out a copy to the theater in Columbus that will be screening in it in January.
Other than that, I got into a relationship with a stalker. But, officially on the market again. Would get text messages stating that she would be watching me. I was freaked out a bit. It made me think of a Vice video I saw on a Japanese cannibal who hacked out a Danish woman and left her dismembered body in a suitcase in a park.
Might have another short film in the works. Working title for it is Wonder.

Going Offline aka Follow Me on Twitter.
Before I begin my post, I would like my fan to reveal themselves. If possible, follow me on Twitter at OfficialSFTwit! Since you are one of my first online fans, I want to let you in on Campaign. I'll gladly reveal what it is to you and let you read the script, because it is online since I cannot copyright it.
All right. I am moving to a new place. I don't plan on being online for a while as I am taking time off from the internet. Update on the lawsuit, punk isn't doing nothing. This "Damien Cain" is not real. He can file suit if he wants, but I'll counter with a defamation of character and for damages. Since he was going on about Halloween 3D, I decided that I am going to do another pitch besides what Campaign is.

Since he was going on about Halloween 3D, I decided that I am going to do another pitch besides what Campaign is.
So, with this time away from the computer, I will be writing reviews and working on the script for this pitch. Again, like Campaign, ten pages long. And I will be working on editing Campaign as I will be going in frame-by-frame and work on the VFX. And with this Halloween 3D pitch, I will upload it in both 2D and anaglyph 3D. I will show you how this pitch is done. Want to file a lawsuit against me; what a bunch of bullshit.
So, I am packing right now. It's a pain in the ass. But, I got the keys to my place and everything is starting to look good. I was going to go in depth about this, so, spoilers to all. Silent Hill: Revelation 3D! I went to see for a second time and this time in 2D whereas I caught the midnight screening in 3D; I really loved the ending and how it set up Silent Hill 2, albeit a bastardized version of it; Silent Hill: Origins; and Silent Hill: Downpour as the next possible sequel. But, yeah, I hated Silent Hill 3 as a video game but I loved the film adaption. It's been getting a lot of shit, but I really enjoyed it. I was texting my best bud from Germany and brought up that it would be awesome if this was dubbed in German.
So, this isn't goodbye. In the words of Schwarzenegger, "I'll be back." And as I was cleaning and clearing out trash, I found this:
Wish you were here.

I Look Forward to my Lawsuit on Halloween.
I'll be making a video blog about this too. But, I am about to go to bed, I got to work at 8 am. Let me just say that there is no truth to what I am about to say. It is completely libel and I can actually file lawsuit for defamation of character and believe me, I will strongly consider it. Supposedly, there is a screenwriter out there named Damien Cain. If he is indeed real and this supposed "next big thing in horror" is filing a lawsuit against me for simply erasing and denying all of existence of him writing Halloween 3D. He erroneously calls me Orlando West and states; "Orlando West Made a Huge Mistake". Also states; "My lawyers are pursuing a lawsuit since he tampered with real source in the credits".
This "Damien Cain" has an IMDB page, but the page is blank whereas my IMDB page does have credits where you can actually visit those, short, film credits and rate and go on the message boards and comment and have a good time. Yes, I am feeding a troll and you shouldn't feed a troll. However, I have never had a troll claim lawsuit against me. You have no grounds on this. You have no proof that you are attached to Halloween 3D. And as of October of 2012, Halloween 3D is dead in the water because we would have had by now.
What I also like is that this "Damien Cain" has also gone on the IMDB and produced links, albeit fake, to watch a workprint of Fede Alverez remake of The Evil Dead. This is a no-no and I can easily forward this over to Sony and FilmDistrict who are handling this film and claim that the "next big thing in horror" screenwriter Damien Cain is leaking your film on the net. Also, "Damien Cain" is also making claims that he's worked on or is writing remakes and sequels to the following films; Demons, Friday the 13th, Evil Dead IV: Consequences; A Nightmare on Elm St. 2; and Scream 5.
If this "Damien Cain" can afford the legal fees to get a lawyer, please do. I appreciate the invalid and libel claims about me tampering with anything. I do not have any connections, yet, with The Weinstein Company and/or Platinum Dunes. Who knows, maybe in the next few years when I get some stuff off the ground. Hell, maybe if Campaign goes viral and I hope it does. You cannot file suit against someone who could have deleted some credits; IMDB is basically a glorified Wikipedia and anyone can update it.
Give some concrete evidence that you are working on this film. I have been working my ass off to try to give IMDB concrete evidence that I was a Production Assistant on the television show Lost, but they keep denying my credit. But, my page will be updating with Campaign; On the Road: Season One; Traumatic Possession 3D - Part 1: The Tape; and Into the Madness: A Documentary is going to be on IMDB in the coming months. That's called "working your ass off", Damien. You should try that if you want to make it in the business.
Cheers,
Orlando Eastwood.

Misery Loves Company...
Ok, had a busy weekend back on the 13th and 14th. Fun times filming and we'll be out filming on the 26th through 28th on Campaign. We shot the B-Roll footage of the film back over the past weekend and we posted a thirty five second preview of that B-Roll footage, which is what you see above.
Also, I filmed my cousin and co-producer on Campaign; Abby Smith as She-Gor at Dr. Bob's Midnight Monster Movies. It took six hours to upload the fifteen minute video because it's HD. Ugh, it felt like an eternity. But, it was fun to shoot and I entered the costume contest as Patrick Bateman from American Psycho. I took third place and got three free passes to the Grandview and an Iron Man 2 toy that's like a Polly Pocket but it's War Machine's head, lol. Then after the contest we watched Nosferatu on the big screen and that was fucking beautiful to see on the big screen. If you are ever near Columbus, and it's the second Saturday, go check out the Midnight Monster Movies with Dr. Bob Tesla. Especially in January! When Traumatic Possession 3D - Part I: The Tape comes out.
And I've started a webseries called On the Road. Season one will consist of four episodes that will be thirty to forty-five minutes in length. Above is the intro, which has been altered since I've uploaded it. It displayed brighter than what it was on Sony Vegas. The show's premise is me hitting the road with buddies and splicing in old Public Domain films at the same time. Since we filmed the pilot on October 13th on my route to seeing Nosferatu, we cut footage of the film in with that episode. On the Road: Season One will be released on a DVD-R via Amazon on March 5th, 2013. Episode two is all ready being planned out. Episode three will be filmed in January when we go to the premiere of Traumatic Possession 3D - Part I. Episode four will be filmed in February with the DVD-R coming out the following month.
A buddy of mine who has been wanting to make movies, pitched a project to me. Basically what I did was that I brought him on for being the co-producer and casting director for Ghosts of Mansfield. He was wanting to do something paranormal and this thing had been on the back burner for the past two years. So, we'll probably film in December or January; depending on weather conditions. Other than that, it is exciting, but at the same time; I am miserable. I am going to be moving into my new home here in a few weeks and I will be taking some much needed time off from the internet. I am having these bad dreams about my ex and it's fucking haunting. And to have these dreams is giving me this horrible bout of depression and I am just constantly bitter towards everyone and everything. I really wish these things would go away. Hopefully, my move will do that. Other than that, I am going to head to Best Buy tomorrow and do an Upgrade and Save and pick up the double feature Blu-ray for I Spit on Your Grave for $5.
