Well, tonight my producers, Make-Up FX supervisor and DP sat down and recorded the commentary for the film. We first watched the film to proof the print where in some tweaks were noted/suggested and plus no one besides myself had seen the latest cut of the film so before we did the commentary we all checked it out so everyone was familiar with the new scenes/edit.
After 62 minutes of watching the film we set up the microphone and began doing the commentary which we covered 80% of everything I hoped we would talk about and the track will give you future buyers some interesting tidbits of info about the making of the film.
Other updates
This weekend of course was the weekend of the Horrorfind convention in Baltimore, MD so like most horror fans I was eager for this event to come around. After arriving I did my rounds to get stuff signed and spoke to Greg Nicotero for a bit. I mentioned I finished the film, and he asked for a copy so I was eager to passone on. Since Greg was the one who got me on the set of LAND, in which I had the time of my life, I also had to thank him because all BS aside that entire experience coupled with the DAWN remake set visit really made me want to make this film.
Greg said he will check it out and give me his honest opinion on the film in which I asked him to be completely honest and to not hold back so Hopefully soon I will hear his thoughts on the film. :Crosses fingers:
Believe it or not.. I was in line for Romero and Monrozombi was nice enough to wait til I got up there to shoot some pictures for me... anyway, when I got up to his booth We began talking about the night I was on the Land set, and one of the other zombies on set that night was his assistant, and we got chatty for a few and I mentioned to him that the set visit was a jump start for me to do my own film as well. George asked if I finished it, and I replied Yes. He asked for a copy which i of course gave up very quickly.
Do I expect him to actually watch the film... I hope he does but I know he is busy and probably won't view it, but he did ask for my contact information so I gave him one of the press kits I brought with me... here's hoping, but I don't expect to hear anything cause he is a busy man and probably gets a 1000 films from zombie fans at every con his visits in a year.
Release screenings
The NYC film Horror Festival kit finally went out and this is the festival I hope I do get accepted at because this and RIHFF are the biggest horror fests on the planet.
My producer Lisa Brandt and Brian and his Wife are going to help try to bring the film to some Digital cinemas and are going to undertake the task of setting up Screenings for the film at other venue's. (i had a venue I was hoping to get but things aren't looking to well at the moment, so they jumped at the task in which I was happy to see them partake.
Final update...
Most of you don't know but About three weeks ago I was helping Fulcifan make his short film EATING HABITS and the first night on set at the new location I landed myself in the hospital via ambulance. What was assumed to be mostly an anxiety attack turned out to be a minor, and I mean minor Heart Attack. After two weeks of heart tests and other physicals it was determined that i need to have some heart surgery and this Wednesday I will be going to Washington Adventist Hospital for Angioplasty (sp?) Surgery on my heart. So if you don't see me for a few days it will be because I will be too sedated to move out of bed. The procedure is a quick in and out 12 hour deal... Providing my vitals return to normal I should be home by 12:00am Wednesday night, but will be laid up for quite a few weeks. I will have LouCipherr try to keep you guys updated.
Anyway, that's pretty much it for now. have a great day/night/morning everyone.
