Calls From The Führerbunker

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

WATCH: Calls From The Führerbunker (http://www.dvxfest.com/twilightfest/index.php?id=1400246)



SYNOPSIS

After a lengthy security screening process, janitor Chris Flegel has transferred to the night shift in a partially-abandoned area of a Canadian military base. His predecessor explains a few of the area’s idiosyncrasies, then gracefully bows out.

Dark tunnels, unused rooms, and communications equipment left over from days gone by are now Chris’ responsibility to maintain.

On Chris’ first night he hears a telephone ring. He remembers being told to just ignore it, but the incessant ringing is too much, and Chris answers the phone. Mysterious voices and transmissions can be overheard. Chris spends the next few nights trying to find the source of the voices, and after some careful research and a little snooping around, the pieces all fall together.

Alright... I don't need that last one! :grin:

Thanks, Mark! I'll try to get my butt in gear this time. :D

Haha! Welcome to the fest michael! Interesting title :huh:

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Haha! Welcome to the fest michael! Interesting title :huh:Yah, this one may be a tad controversial. Just remember, it's a TwilightFest entry. That's all I'm going to say... :lipsrseal

PS- I may be PM'ing some of the German DVX community for some assistance. Of course, I'll let you know what the story is all about when I do.

Cheers,

Mike

[ZFarms Productions]

Best of luck to you!

[Herman Witkam]

Good luck securing that location Mike!

[ZFarms Productions]

if you can't get the location, hire some mafia guys, and send them over there. you'll get it. eventually.

[ZazaCast]

I don't know what that says(unless it says what I think it says)...but I'm looking forward to see this one.
Best of luck with the location.

Yeah right. To be honest I got a whole bunch of Fürerbunkers sitting in my attic. :Drogar-BigGrin(DBG)

[Tom Marshall]

Good luck, Mike!

And I know you asked my opinion on your Timefest entry for acting... I just really haven't had a chance to get to a critique yet... I will though... :)

This just happened last week:

[Simon Höfer]

Mike was planning ahead and started to collect props for his movie. You could have at least visited some of the german based members while you where in germany... :D

[Herman Witkam]

haha - exactly :D

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Are you guys spying on me? :huh:

[GageFX]

I was going to have an entry titled "Fur Burger", but now I'm afraid people will confuse it with yours. Oh well.

[ugafan]

Interesting title :huh:

haha. i was wondering what german dvxuser members would think of the title. michael, do you already have someone to play hitler? :cheesy:

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I was going to have an entry titled "Fur Burger", but now I'm afraid people will confuse it with yours. Oh well.Just don't do "Für burger" and you'll be alright. :thumbsup:

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

haha. i was wondering what german dvxuser members would think of the title. michael, do you already have someone to play hitler? :cheesy:So was I. :shocked:

I know this can be a very touchy subject but I'm hoping that everyone will embrace the use of it for this Fest.

Cheers.

Mike

[GageFX]

I dont know if it was mentioned in the thread, but there was a TZ with Hitler in it. Hitler mentored a young Dennis Hopper.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0734572/

[Postmaster]

haha. i was wondering what german dvxuser members would think of the title.

We don´t care at all, cause we are used to this. That kind a films pop up every other year over here.

Infact at least 40% of german movies that make it to the theaters are situated between 1930 and 1949 and have at least a view Nazis and Swastikas showing up. The same is for TV.

We had a view Hitler comedies in the last years that where controversal, cause the press started a rant that this is nothing to laugh about. But most poeple first laughed in the movies and than laughed at the press.

Frank

[Simon Höfer]

Yeah exactly, everything has been covered over here. No big surprises :D

[Mark Johnson]

This movie will all hinge on a key location that I'm looking to secure. If I don't get it... this movie won't happen. Here's hoping that I do. :thumbsup:

Mike


Mike, I believe strongly that if you really want to make this film using whatever location you need then you can make it happen. You have to be singleminded and completely focused on it. When you start off saying things like "If I don't get it ... this movie won't happen" I think you are setting yourself up subliminally. When we decided to make O2 we knew the spaceship set would cost over $10,000 and, obviously, we couldn't afford it. We had a meeting and Tim made a comment to the effect of, "well, we need to figure out what we're going to do if we can't find a way to use the Laurel Canyon set" and I told him that was the wrong attitude. We NEEDED that set and I made it my job to find some way to be able to shoot there. It took a lot of work and creativity but we got to shoot there because we adopted a mindset that we simply wouldn't accept failure.

Now, I don't know what your circumstances are or what your location is and I don't want to sound arrogant. However, I truly believe there is a way to shoot whatever location you need if you are willing to seriously make it a commitment. Just my two cents but it is a proposition we live by and which has gotten us an awful lot of mileage.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Mark, this isn't a matter of coming up with money for a set or using contacts. This involved gaining government permission to film at a historic site. The powers that be will either allow it or they won't.
I would think gaining access to a film set would be possible. This is not a set.

Cheers,

Mike

[Blaine]

Find out how to push their buttons and I'm sure we will see it...:thumbsup:

Very cool! :thumbup:

No water in mine...

Love the green colouring as well.

Mike

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Who's doing Subterra?

[Rodney V. Smith]

Hop you get the location dude. at least you have a headstart and can get the ball rolling early, so hopefully all will be well. Good luck man.

This one man crew is working overtime. :D

[Blaine]

No water in mine...Yeah, there was JUST ENOUGH water to make the floor shine...almost like watering down the street for a night shot.



Who's doing Subterra?It's a pilot we're working on.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Very cool! For a TV show?
Do you have a link? I Googled it and couldn't find it very easily.

[Kyle Stebbins]

That location looks great, Mike!! I hope you get it.

Blaine's location is just a sewer down my street. He thinks that since the set is in my neighborhood that it's okay for him to live with me for awhile and make me feed him.

Also I love the symbol in your poster. DEFINITELY want to use that in my design. -- Can you send me the biggest/baddest file of it? Is it EPS?

[Postmaster]

I think it is still under copyright by that bloke .

I can forward you the file, or the original pic.... whatever you want!
Thanks again for doing this.

I may have a site picture or two to offer as well. Still working on that.
I love the tunnel shot myself but Blaine and the boys beat me to it! :D

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

UPDATE: The location is looking like a real possibility! I'm very close to landing it.
So... do any of the German Members want to come down here and star in my movie!?? :D

[Simon Höfer]

Haha, I would love to do that! When I win in the lottery I will book a flight :D

Dude, for casting Germans, I think Argentina is closer.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Simon, I'll hold you to that. :)

Mark, I'll get out my atlas. :D
Besides, I said German Members, they don't have to be living in Germany. They could be living anywhere, they just have to be German. :)

Here's two more set pics...

You may have a look at my last geensceen job in UNZEIT and that tells you, that you DON´T want me to do the keying.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

You may have a look at my last geensceen job in UNZEIT and that tells you, that you DON´T want me to do the keying.I thought it was actually pretty good. I have zero experience in doing it myself so I would be sure to butcher it. :)

Ah, you haven´t seen it in HD.

[MaxZenk]

Dude, for casting Germans, I think Argentina is closer.

!! Nice one.
Das ist gut, ja!

[Norm Sanders]

Some cool locations shots there, Michael! Looking forward to seeing this, especially because of having just done a German/period film myself. Best of luck to you with this.

So this is a Twilight Fest entry? I've got to read up on this one, and see if it's something I can get some time to get involved with. I think I've sat out EVERYTHING since SpyFest, and it's buggin' me.

Again, look forward to seeing more on this ... you really did well in TimeFest, I felt! :)

[cinealma]

Hey, very cool locations. I wish I could get places to shoot like that. Usually I have to build them. Looking forward to your flick!

Cheers!

I'm already imagining some very cool shots in my head. I never storyboard, I really should though.

Cheers!

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

This story just took a drastic turn! I had a bit of a revelation the other night.
Should be far more interesting. My original idea was playing out too much like an A&E special.

I usually make these things in my head before hitting the keyboard. I think I'll be typing away like mad tonight. :thumbup:

I also want to thank John LaBonney for setting me straight. John, I may need you to write some of this before all is said and done! :)

[Simon Höfer]

Exactly what I do! I just finished writing my script, but I already had it figured out in my head for quite some time.

And good to know that your story got far more interesting :D

Yah, you know when you have a good story in mind but it's just not working?
Well, I can now see everything much more clearly now. I have also changed it quite a bit.
It really suits the Twilight theme to a T now.

I just have to work on writing it!

:Drogar-Smoke(DBG):

[Postmaster]

Can I ask what´s the phrase " to a T" means?

I know how and when it is used but what exactly does it mean and where does it come from?

Thanks, Frank

Have you nailed down the tunnel, yet?

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

The tunnel is just a small part of it. I posted a few more pics on the first page, I'll paste them here.
It's looking REALLY good! I don't want to jinx it until I get it in writing though.
Thanks for the interest!

Who am I kidding. I'll probably play with it a few more times before shooting.

Actually, that keypad is as old as the bunker. I'll have to look at it closer when I go back. Might just be some sort of analog keypad? I don't think it's even used in conjunction with that phone.

Mike,

Sorry I am hopping in here a bit late, I have been busy preparing scripts. I just wanted to tell you how much I am looking forward to this.

Dude...this one is going to be impressive! You have an amazing talent with the camera (as witnessed in The Watchman) and it looks like these locations will give you the opportunity to really showcase that ability!

Have you locked permission to shoot yet or is it still up in the air? I really, REALLY hope you get permission to shoot there!

I love the pic of the guy in the gas mask...super creepy!

Keep it comin' man!

There actually won't be a single gun used in this movie. I just liked the pic. :D

[alex whitmer]

What a time capsule! Hell of a find.

So many things go into the success of a film, from acting, to script, to lighting and music. I think you've shown just us how important location is as well.

So far this and that eerie castle (?) in Falling really stand out.

a

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Location is definitely something to think about.
I agree, there are so many elements that make a great movie. Location is one piece of the puzzle.
As you have pointed out... they are all important. Writing, acting, etc..

Cheers!

Mike

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Ian Quick has agreed to star in this one for me. For those who loved him in The Watchman (and there were quite a few of you if I recall) he's back! :thumbsup:

This is just getting better and better. Maybe we should just call it here and everybody can save a lot of time and money!

What's the next fest?

Thanks, Alex!

Ummm... you're talking to the guy who barely placed 8th last fest. I still have a ways to go before I can be considered a contender I think.

:dankk2:

I have dreams about barely placing 8th!!

Holy crap! I saw your Synopsis - now that´s a soooooo cewwwwl idea Michael. Realy looking forward to that one, especialy with Ian playing the main character.

Frank

[Marlon Ladd]

Man, I just read your synopsis too. Damn! I quit!!!! LOL. That really sounds like a great story. Bet you can't wait to start shooting.

[ConspiracyPenguin]

Well, after seeing all the hubbub about the synopsis, I took a look and damn am I looking forward to this even more. I think I have figured out where it is coming from, but we will just wait and see if I am correct.

Really looking forward to this Mike! :)

Yep the synopsis sounds great!

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Just wanted to thank all those who loved the synopsis.

I asked Alex to write it for me since I'm a little too close to the script myself.
He helped edit it for me so I figured he would be best suited for the job. He nailed it.

BTW, Penguin. It's no secret as to where the calls are coming from.
Or is it?

:evil:

Looks really good! Synopsis and the location!! Where is it exactly that you are trying to shoot? It looks like some sort of factory almost. Can't wait to watch this one!

Man... So much can be done with that synopsis. (*Hears bowed saw playing hauntingly over Wagner's 'Ride of the Valkyries'... Shudders with fear... Gott Himmel!*) Can't wait! :)

I'll post it here as well since some people may not realize where it is. (It's now part of the first post.)



SYNOPSIS

After a lengthy security screening process, janitor Chris Flegel has transferred to the night shift in a partially-abandoned area of a Canadian military base. His predecessor explains a few of the area’s idiosyncrasies, then gracefully bows out.

Dark tunnels, unused rooms, and communications equipment left over from days gone by are now Chris’ responsibility to maintain.

On Chris’ first night he hears a telephone ring. He remembers being told to just ignore it, but the incessant ringing is too much, and Chris answers the phone. Mysterious voices and transmissions can be overheard. Chris spends the next few nights trying to find the source of the voices, and after some careful research and a little snooping around, the pieces all fall together.
Don't worry. The script sucks in comparison. :D

[John LaBonney]

Mike:

Have you secured this location for sure?

John

[Mike Manning]

Nice synopsis. I'm excited about this one, Those locations are sick! I hope you can secure them.

[Jason Ramsey]

Love the location, man.

[KOHR]

Dang, I'm really loving the feeling I'm getting from the synopsis + I'm extremely envious that first shot of the possible location. Best of luck! I can't wait to see this!

[Susanne G.]

Hi Micheal,

after nearly four weeks, I am just back from a remote-no internet connection-place in Enland and looking now what is going on in the forum. Welcome to the fest! Your film sounds extremely 2. world war - german!? If you need some history information about this time, I am in Berlin, let me know! We are living 200 meters away from the real Ex-Führerbunker and there is still a documentary center.

Best wishes

Susanne

Update: The location is locked and I am a go!

I just have to get them a shooting schedule so that they can have staff on hand to lock up and such. I'll have to wait until I have the cast locked as well.

Looking good. :thumbup:

[Mark Harris]

wow, this is great. Nice accomplishment and it's got to feel good to succeed at bumping things up a notch!

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Thanks, Mark. It will be nice to shoot somewhere other than my house. :)

Getting together this week with some of the cast for a reading/script discussion. Should be fun. :thumbup:

[Marlon Ladd]

I meant to ask how many pages did you end up with?

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I meant to ask how many pages did you end up with?
Six full pages. I won't count the last shot that drifted to the seventh page. :D

[Marlon Ladd]

So, you've got it down to a science - think you'll go over 6 mins. and have to cut down?

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

So, you've got it down to a science - think you'll go over 6 mins. and have to cut down?Knowing me... probably.
I can definitely make it work though. :thumbup:

Checked out the script for Spielberg - that's pretty funny and their conversation was very realistic.

Hi Mike,
I enjoyed "Spielberg's a Hack" too. What's the news from the bunker? All OK I hope, I'm looking forward to it.

[gabrielflorit]

This short might have the best location of them all... It's quite amazing they're letting you shoot there.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

This short might have the best location of them all... It's quite amazing they're letting you shoot there.It is a pretty cool location.

I once filmed a scene for my SpyFest entry in front of the Supreme Court of Canada. No permit, no nothing.

The security guard asked what we were doing, I told him, he said... "Carry on".
Of course... in Canada you can drive right up to it. :)

[Marlon Ladd]

Did you say you had your film dates yet?

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Did you say you had your film dates yet?
Not yet. Should be late September.

[Alex Jeffery]

Excited about this one man. I really liked your TimeFest entry.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Just finished casting.

Johni Keyworth (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0450926/) will be playing a small but important role. I'm extremely pleased to have him on board. Looking forward to working with him.

Hey Mike, How have you been???

I know, I know... long time.

Congrats on another entry. Hopefully I can watch this time around. (I just couldn't get into it last fest. Too much crap in my life at the time!)

I hope all is well.

cheers,

Ted

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Ted, great to hear from you! I'll check out your thread.

Congratulations on your cast! Keyworth has a very evocative face. I can't wait to see this.

UPDATE:

Susanne (http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/member.php?u=36747) has been working like crazy for me over in Berlin! I just wanted to thank her for all the help she has given me thus far.

Update:

Hoping to shoot the week of the 22nd. (Sept)

Having a sit down with the actors this coming Wednesday. We will be going over the script and talking about any changes that may be needed. Discussing details on wardrobe as well.

Cheers,

Mike

[gabrielflorit]

How many actors do you have? How many sit-downs/rehearsals are you doing before shoot?

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

2 main actors. A few extras.
Just the one sit down really. We were supposed to do one before but we ended up talking about another project for the most part. :)

I usually don't do any to be honest. This is more so that the two actors can meet before we shoot.

Mike

[Zim]

Good luck

I was bored so I threw this together. It's not supposed to look pretty or anything. Just a simple teaser.

No footage from this clip will used in Calls From The Führerbunker.

Getting together tonight to go over a few minor details. Might be a slight shooting schedule change.

Mike, would it be possible to distribute that software to everyone? (Just kidding Nick!)

I'm hoping to shoot the bulk of it over 3 days. Not full days of course. :)

It doesn't work that well, John. I have it and I still have to deal with me from time to time. :grin:

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

UPDATE: Last nights cast meeting went really well.

I'm having a serious issue though. I was supposed to start shooting next week but the manager at the bunker has not returned my calls in almost 2 weeks. She had agreed on the shoot but not the date, just saying that evenings are available with some notice. It's hard to give notice when she won't return my emails, voice mails, or messages left with the staff.

Whenever I call she is always in a 'meeting'.

It's getting to the point that I may just have to drive down there (about an hour drive) and hope that's she's there. I'm really starting to wonder what the hell is going on?
If she's not there when I make the trek I'm going to be seriously pissed off.

Just needed to vent. Hopefully things will work out.
This location is obviously key to the entire project.

Mike

[ZazaCast]

WOW... this really is TwilightZone stuff... you have to appreciate the irony though. Calls from the bunker & no one answers....

No worries... keep on her and drive down there if you have to...this one is way too cool to let slip away! Go get'em'.

I plan on driving down there. I'm going to shoot this thing even if I have to break in during the middle of the night. :thumbup:

I remember you had a similar problem early on when you were trying to get permission for the location in the first place, but it worked itself out. Keep trying, you'll get her attention sooner or later.

[Zim]

Good luck on getting the bunker. I pretty much gave up on my location and started looking other places. Then sure enough the guy called and was very nice. We can use any part of the graveyard.

But it might be worth the drive for you.

[Susanne G.]

Hi Mike,

we had really fun to work out what you need "from Berlin" yesterday evening. I hope very much that you will get this location.
Sometimes little simple things could help, for esample: visit this busy lady and bring her what ever, a bottle of vine and be your charming self!!!! :D

Much wishes Susanne

[USLatin]

I really hope the movie ends with Hitler's pussy suicide... maybe have some soldiers beating his corpse just for fun too. :D

[ConspiracyPenguin]

I hope it all works out for you, Mike. Still looking forward to this one a lot! :)

Well, guess what. After leaving about 100 messages with her secretary she finally got back to me. It looks like my original schedule is a little screwed but things should still work out. I'll get this done one way or the other. It may end up with me and the cast going down there for a few hours here, then a few hours there... but I'll get her done. :thumbup:

[USLatin]

I'll never tell. :evil:

U bastard... the anticipation! Do it! Have them go Guantanamo on his ass!!

[Marlon Ladd]

Keep pushing, Mike. This is one of the most anticipated ones in the fest.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

It always amazed me that you've been able to do so much with so few people.

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

It always amazed me that you've been able to do so much with so few people.So few people? During TimeFest I had me, myself and I. :)

Seriously though, even though I was running around playing with the lighting, recording the sound, setting up the shot while directing the scene, I still had fun. I could definitely use a sound guy though. That would be very helpful! I'm not against help, it's just hard to find around here.

At least I'm learning all aspects of the craft. I'm going to play with the lighting a little more in this one. The shadows will be intentional. Should look good in B&W.

Cheers,

Mike

Good deal. Did they say, "you should have just called"

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Good deal. Did they say, "you should have just called"Not a chance. I had that look in my eye. :Drogar-Love(DBG):

[Geoff_R]

Really looking forward to this, Mike. I love the title.

[John LaBonney]

Should look good in B&W.

You're going with black and white? That is an interesting and I think appropriate choice for this film.

[Susanne G.]

:)

I think it could be a good idea that you have my work for your film, before you start shooting for some reasons. :-HeadPhones(D

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Start shooting tomorrow! Did some rough story boarding for the opening scene.
Should be a lot of fun. :)

Looks like I'll be pretty much on my own for this one again. Aside from the cast. Still waiting to hear back from one guy as a possible crew member.

Cheers,

Mike

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Scratch that, it looks like I may be having one person helping me out. :)

Best to you Mike. Glad everything came together for you - last second - but together just the same.

What's filmmaking without the pulling of hair and the gnashing of teeth.

We want a complete report!

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

Awesome man!

I still don't know how you can do it all on your own :DIn a way I like it. The funny thing is... on my first short film I had a rather large crew. It dwindled over time. There really isn't a large film making interest around here. Toronto is the place to be for that.

It's all good though. :beer:

[Michael Anthony Horrigan]

I just received a very important piece of the Führerbunker puzzle from a couple of German DVXuser Affiliate's. :)

So I wanted to voice a very special thank you to Jason and Susanne! Without them this movie probably wouldn't be possible. I will also be adding two German actors to the Cast section a little later as well.

I just thought that everyone should know what a great community we have going on here.

Cheers,

Mike
