Mission: Improbable |3:03 PM| I'm a bit of a horror movie dork. I'm not the Fangoria reading, doesn't talk to people much, wears all black, works at the movie store and smells funny type of horror dork. I did see "Jason X" and "Freddy Vs. Jason" at the premieres, and my fondness for zombie movies is already well known.
Enter the Alamo Drafthouse (Glorious Alamo!) and BloodShots.
To summarize, one of ten teams in Austin is given a subgenre of horror and 48 hours to complete a movie. To keep people from preparing footage ahead of time the movie must include a prop, a character name, and a line that are given to you at the same time as your genre. This happens on 7pm, Friday the 22nd.
I plan to be awake and working the entire 48 hours. I managed to register a team shortly before registration closed.
I called poker-host Joe, who has a little bit more experience in movie making than I do, seeing as he's worked on a variety of feature films, has produced some short films of his own, and his wife Tara is chef to the stars. He and I have assembled a crack team of amature film makers, musicians, goof-balls, whack-jobs and film geeks for this operation.
This should be DAMNED exciting, even if both Joe and I go utterly insane from sleep deprivation, and attempt to film things underwater, then end up drowning. Updates as they become available/interesting.
