    WHO WANTS TO HELP OUT IN THE HALLOWEEN PROJECT?

    I'm making the body suit of the monster as we speak, a lot of people have come to do the project so far, but I'm still in need of a few roles to fill into the slots for my project, if you can help me that's great, but if you can't I'll understand, but if you want to come aboard ask some friends around and see if they'd like to have fun with this, it'll be fun.

    The horror film is called "NIGHT OF THE GRIZZLER" where it centers around three little friends that live in a town where a horrible creature stalks the people at night and savagely murders and devours them for his love for Halloween in order to celebrate it every October month. While the friends are trick-or-treating they begin to tell the story of how the creature became to be!

    Please note that when you look at the list of parts below you must know this: THIS IS NOT A PAYING GIG. This is merely a film that is being made for the sake of art as would be the first film if you’re interested, and for the sake of your art in acting. No body is getting paid, but I will contribute a cast and crew dinner for everyone’s divine effort in making this film happen, you’ll all be the hands that help me sculpt this dream into a memorable masterpiece. You’re all a very important aspect of the movie no matter what anyone says everyone is a remarkable treasure of this piece so I trust you’ll all do your very best!

    I need the following roles of both acting and production of the following:

    DETECTIVE SCRIMM is an 70-year-old senior detective who has a sad past of his grandson being killed by GRIZZLER, and holds a heavy heart when he looks over the files of missing or presumed dead people, and he's a tough old man who takes his job seriously. 70-years-old man, caucasian, 5'9", thin, short-combed white hair (May accuire makeup).

    Scrap this project and start work on another. You have 11 speaking parts and a 6 day shooting schedule without any locked locations.

    Write a short, focused script No more than 5-8 pages. Have 2-3 speaking parts and 2 INTERIOR locations that you know you have. Keep it down to 2 actors that way you only have to focus on getting two performances. Also try not to go for 60+ year old actors right now. With no pay it's gonna be hard to get older professional actors.
    -------------

    I am not trying to bring you down. I just want to warn you before you bite off more than you can chew. I did that a lot and now I have a few unfinished shorts that were a waste of everyone's time and money.

    ------------------

    Keep it simple and focused on a single idea that can be told in five minutes. Practice your compositions. Play around with Practical lighting. Make sure your set dressing looks good. What type of Lens do you have? Can you play with Depth of Field?


    You gain a lot of more experience (and have something finished!) working on small projects, rather than trying to squeeze a feature story into a short film.

    I know I'm biting off more than I can chew. But if you could look at it this way, there's no way you could ever make Grizzler into one 10 minute short film or even 20, there'd be no way, because if you've read the comic why would you want to see just the same old thing again? Why not build more into that and change it a bit, still keep some of the stuff in there and just adding more characters.

    No one knows who Scrimm looks like, nor Redfield, Carrie's the only one you have, but I want to make this as it should be, and a 35 minute short is just the way to go, it may look like it's a feature film benting on going to a short length, but so far from what I've recieved I've found a couple of actors, a cinematographer, a buddy from a halloween store who says he'd help me with some of the gore and makeup effects, I'm going to get ACTV to help me by offering whatever equipment they can lend me after working with them for a bit and so they can show it on public television.

    I know, I know, I realize I do have to take time with what details I can feature, and you should know I am. This is going to be a work of art that should be remembered in the horror genre as much as it is a comic book adaption. I've tried out some lighting with HACKSAW, as soon as that film's finished, and I've worked on its visuals with the faces of the killer when he looks one way, so I do believe I can make a great director and tell them "this is how I want it to look". And in reality as much as you can direct the crew to do great work, they'll give you what they can give you, and it's best to believe in what you can for they're true artists themselves.

    Not trying to sound like I'm barking at anyone, and I humbley respect your concerns and suggestions. I'm really just making a film because I feel like doing one for Halloween...and you guys should see this Grizzler outfit of what I'm doing to it so far!
