Upcoming Movie Projects

OK.  So, there are some new movies to be released in the upcoming year.  I'm writing down a few of the ideas that are being thrown around or have been pitched to me in recent days.  Some will be used.  Others may be thrown out long before production begins.

"Lullaby"
I don't need to say too much concerning this film as it will be revealed more as time goes on.  Simply put, it's based a lot off of "Silent Hill," "Batman Begins" and "Jacob's Ladder."  This is our first attempt at a horror film as well as a full-length film and the story is currently being written.  It is a direct production of "Mystic Arts."  Filming will begin in late December/early January and the script will be finished by mid-December.

"Brightest at Daybreak"
Playing the game "Half-Life 2" has inspired me to make a science fiction film.  This will not be based on "Half-Life" in any way and current details are still up in the air.  This film will be done sometime after "Lullaby" is finished.  One idea that has been postulated is a human's day to day life in a hostile alien concentration camp. 

Untitled Addiction Project
This idea was created via the help of Seylange Films.  It is a thriller/suspense film on the pains of addiction.  The movie is entirely an outward manifestation of the inner struggle accompanying addiction.   

"The Beautiful Life of Mr. Fitz"
This is to be a short film hopefully released before "Lullaby."  It will basically be directly proceeding the death of one Mr. Fitz.   The film will be about Mr. Fitz's life and how he helped others to change for the better.  It will basically about the legacy he leaves behind upon his passing.

"Mr. Scrooge Goes Bankrupt"
"Mr. Scrooge Goes Bankrupt" will basically be a comedy sequel to the well known "A Christmas Carol."  In it, Mr. Scrooge foolishly spends all of his money on other people at Christmas time.  He becomes poor and his business goes belly-up.  As a result, Bob Cratchet is forced to work at McDonalds and it all goes downhill from there.  This will likely come out before Christmas-time this year.

Untitled Christmas Production
This film will be worked on primarily by "Seylange Productions," and will have little involvement with "Mystic Arts."  This film, a comedy, will be about a person whose life takes a turn for the worst.  He is rejected by the girl of his dreams, and when his life is at rock bottom, a special Christmas angel will come to cheer him up.  Scheduled to be filmed sometime this December.

Anyway, those are our immediate projects for now.
What do you think of our ideas?  Like them?  Hate them?  
Think you got the perfect idea for a film?  Pitch it to us and we'll consider it!      

The Man Who Could Not Die

This film was a complete experiment.  I did it to test out the capabilities of Windows Movie Maker along with my camera.  All the script was purely spur of the moment.

This film is about a suicidal person.  Every time he tries to commit suicide, someone else dies in his place of similar circumstances.  



Was my experiment successful?  Why or why not?  I'd love to hear your input.  Feel free to comment or critique to your heart's content.  I have a very open-door honesty policy. 

Always

This project was done on a camera phone in Wal-Mart.  My friend and I were bored and created this video.
It is a short film about the life of an artist.  In the video, his artistic fantasies are reenacted as vivid hallucinations.  I claim no directorial insights into this film.  I maintain little credit as I was only responsible for cinematography and a brief cameo.

Inquiries About "Lullaby" Project

A lot of you have inquired concerning the new project "Lullaby" so I think I'll take some time and answer some of my frequently asked questions as well as some questions you might find interesting.

What is Project "Lullaby?"-  This film is less a "reboot," and more of a "finishing" to an idea I had a long time ago.  My buddy and I filmed a fantastic movie a long time ago.  Great footage, etc.  We made a trailer for it and audiences all unanimously seemed to enjoy it.  Trouble was, we never finished it.  This revived project sort of resurrects our old idea and makes it new again-a few elements will be changed however.  At some point, I will post the old trailer for it as well as a detailed plot summary.  Basically, this is my attempt at a horror/thriller film.  We'll see how it goes.       

When Will the Script be Finished?- Currently, I have roughly the first 15-20 minutes completely mapped out (in rough cut form).  I know how I want to end it.  The details in-between are still a little gray.  I'm taking my time with it and making it as good/believable as I can.  Due to finals and other such things coming up, I won't be able to work as dutifully on it as I have been.  I also have most of those scenes written into my computer now, so I'll be able to provide everyone with a script soon.  I expect it to be completely finished sometime in December, which will be nice because that's when I plan to make casting calls.

Who Will Be Allowed a Part in the Film?- I get this question a lot actually.  Pretty much anyone that tries out will be admitted a part.  If I don't currently have a part for you, I can make one up pretty easily.  We'll need a lot of extras too.  I have a few parts that I wrote out with specific people in mind.  If they decide not to be involved, those parts will be given to someone else.  As aforementioned, casting calls will be made in December.  Filming will hopefully start in January.

Where Will it be Filmed?- I have several areas specifically in mind.  The old Draper Library was one.  There will be extensive filming at my house as well as a shot or two in a graveyard.

What Will Be on the Soundtrack?- There will be a soundtrack released on this website in time, which you will be able to listen to.  I already have several songs in mind.  I may do some sound mixing too, so it's going to be really exciting.  Like I said though, it will all be on this website soon.    

What Can We Expect About "Lullaby?" - Expect it to be darker.  I based a lot of my ideas off of a game called "Silent Hill."  Some of the story is based off "Batman Begins" and many effects were imbued from "Jacob's Ladder," which are both dark productions as well.  Since I believe in family-friendly films, it won't be as dark as "Silent Hill" per se, but I do intend to mimic the tone relatively closely.  It will be comparable probably to a PG-13 and I'm going for a grittier, more earthy approach.
Also, you can expect the latest information to be up on this site.  When the film is finished, it will be released on the site along with trailers and future films.  This site is completely dedicated to my videos, so everything will be up here eventually.  I mentioned earlier that I will post soundtracks, and news.  You may also expect "sneak peeks," downloadables, scripts and other such things.  I will also do casting calls, and other events here.  Just stay tuned.  I'll update this site periodically.
