    Freakin' Awesome...

    The Day They Came Back

    This film by Scott Goldberg is an excellent zombie short. 23 minutes long. I wish it was longer! The beginning narration reminded me of Resident Evil, but quickly outshines that film. Check it out!

    IN his words:

    THE DAY THEY CAME BACK' is a no-budget independent zombie film that was shot on a miniscule budget of $3,000. Due to such a low budget, a lot of technical
    problems occured during the making of the film. Marinho Nobre, myself and a select few others have been working hard in the studio to fix those problems and
    make the film the best we could get it with the deadline we had to release it, so fans like yourself can watch the film online. Thank you for your support. -

    WOW... DOUBLE WOW!


    That was a great flick. DAMN! I am at a loss for words. That was filmed on 3 grand? Jesus. It was amazing, compelling and most of all... Out-freaking-standing.

    Clerks cost (estimated) around $27,000 ... which is around £14,300, of course those dollars are then and those pounds are now, so...

    Still though, it was a gutsy move on Smith's part to just run up a load of credit cards, geeeeezus that was a risky move. I certainly wouldn't recommend that, although he still does, but think about it ... Clerks did really well after a hard slog, but because it spoke to the target audience and was really well written then it succeeded. I think a lot of people have/are/will do the same but their script isn't anywhere near as good, it might drag on and on and it might be something already seen before or says things already said.

    Clerks is friggin' awesome, roll on Clerks 2 and the new animated movie/series!

    It is a great film, I was shocked you pulled that off on $3,000. Did the budget include your equipment or do you usually bill that seperately? I noticed from pictures I have seen that you shot the film on a DVX100. What are your thoughts on the camera. I use one and love it.

    I insurance and permits to shoot at the location where all the ruin's were, was about $2,000 ($1,500 for insurance, and $500 for permits) and the rest was for equipment rentals and people helping out, and lending equipment, like the camera, sound equipment, etc.

    I do like the DVX100. It's a great camera. I shot one of my recent shorts with it, called: ALL I WANT FOR CHRISTMAS, which is currently in film festival circulation along with, THE DAY THEY CAME BACK so I do think it gives independent filmmakers the opportunity to make short films and features on a very low budget. You just have to know what you're shooting and how to use the camera and tell the story with the camera as well. It's very important to be able to use it and make beautiful images with it, like a painting. To me, filmmaking is an art form and should never be done without the passion and love for the arts.
