[Richard J. Johnson]

Glad to be back. This one is going to be absurd on all levels. I'm gonna have me some fun.:violent5:

[Rodney V. Smith]

I think the name says it all.

[Norm Sanders]

Lol, love the title!

[Richard J. Johnson]

I think the name says it all.

LOL. yes it does puck, yes it does.

[Sid Barnhoorn]

Cool title man! ;) A golden guitar pick. ;-) Nice! :-)

[jasonthewho]

Are you guys creating titles with me in mind?

[Postmaster]

WOW! Your guys are quick.

I think I will skip this one, but a kid in the neightbourhood shoots an Indiana Jones film in the moment.

I could steal it and enter the Quest Fest with "Indiana Jones and the Spear of Destiny" :D

Here is the teaser: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mmP-rh9pah8

[Rodney V. Smith]

Are you guys creating titles with me in mind?

Dude you are an inspiration in the title department.... besides, Quest Fest demands a long title... Mine was originally going to be "The Extraordinarily Strange Days of Joey Davis and the Problem with Blue Doors" but I decided on brevity.

[Matty_g]

Are all the entries supposed to have titles that look like madlibs?
:P

Nice to see you back sir. Best of luck.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Nice to see you back sir. Best of luck.

As a matter of fact... yes... I think its in the rules somewhere :grin:

[Chris Messineo]

Great title - I hope there is a theme song to go with it. :)

[Richard J. Johnson]

Great title - I hope there is a theme song to go with it. :)

LOL. Chris, His theme music is going to absolutely preposterous. I can't wait to get over to the studio to record it.

[Richard J. Johnson]

Nice to see you back sir. Best of luck.

Thank you sir and congrats to you. Madlibs, LOL they can't still print those books.

[Sprocketboy]

You already have me laughing Richard. Nice job on the title and the poster. :thumbup:

[Richard J. Johnson]

You already have me laughing Richard. Nice job on the title and the poster. :thumbup:

LOL. Thanks. puck is the poster dude. I can't wait until the photo shoot for the real poster next week. we are recording "jackhammer's Theme" On Thursday.

I'm going all the way fool on it too. I'm singin' it.

[Rodney V. Smith]

You've GOT to do a podcast of that man. seriously. Photo session for the poster
and recording of the song... film it, edit it and podcast it. seriously. if you don't i'll be very upset.

[Richard J. Johnson]

LOL. I have never done a podcast.
But I watched all of yours and Zak's too.
(hat is a great suggestion. Me singing like barry white is gonna scare people though.

Consider it done.

[Rodney V. Smith]

Excellent! Will be looking forward to it. If you have someone to shoot BTS stuff, now is a good time to get them started to document your steps through production of this monster you're about to unleash on us... If not, then just turn the camera on yourself like me and Zak did, and let us know what you;re up to and how it's going. after the 4th one, you won;t be so nervous.

[Sprocketboy]

You've GOT to do a podcast of that man. seriously. Photo session for the poster
and recording of the song... film it, edit it and podcast it. seriously. if you don't i'll be very upset.

Are you serious? This is a guy who is busy mopping and glo-ing his floor and cleaning out baby poop from the back of a toy car's trunk. Where is he going to find the time? :eek:

[Rodney V. Smith]

ahh kids.. i refer to mine as PA in training. SOmeday he'll graduate to Producer in Training

[vnguyen972]

Funny, recently I did a martial art short and one of my character was also named Jackhammer and my original poster looked very similar:

Then it became

[Rodney V. Smith]

LOL! You found the same fist graphic that I did! that's hilarious. Excuse the stock photography, but Richard DID ask for a temp poster... and he specifically requested the Afro Pick.. dunno why... something about a title or some such nonsense...

[Richard J. Johnson]

LMAO! It's gonna be tough to find the time.:beer:

LOL. I'm lost on the poodles thing. But he is gonna be one funky karate soul brotha from anotha mutha. The whole film is pretty much karate action with a little overacting thrown in.

PHOTO SHOOT IS SUNDAY!!

[Robert Eldon]

Looking forward to what you do with this. What was the 'pitch' if you don't mind me asking?

Also, where did you get the '2 beautiful babies' in your production kit and will you be using them in this shoot? :)

[SMarston]

all of ur titles have managed to make me feel like i have to see what the film is about, saw your entries for last fest and really enjoyed them, good luck with this fest.

[Richard J. Johnson]

LOL. The babies in my production kit were made using the only the finest ingredients and are one offs. lot numbers 1 of 2 and 2 of 2.

But when a new menace emerges and steals his coveted Golden Afro Pick, his seemingly unbeatable skill-set begins to diminish. And now The Jackhammer must fight his way through a gauntlet of skilled assassins, to retrieve the all powerful Fist Of The Golden Pick.

"It's Brutality time baby!!"

Thank you! This one is really gonna be hard to get made. Budget issues are really slowing things down right now. I have a month to get the money up then I will see where i'm at. Private schools, mortagage, car payments and other things have to get knocked out first.

[RodThompson]

If this is anything compared to Puppeteer, then we're all in for a grand surprise!

[Bro. Stephen]

cool. can't wait to see it.

[Brickhouse]

This is in my top 5 most anticipated. I can't wait to see what you do!

Good luck

[NoDice]

I jim kelly in enter the dragon this should become a great film if done well, good luck!

[RanRanBobandyMan]

sweet stuff. looks like alot of fun!

reminds me of another movie, though, I can't remember which...

it'll come to me

"undercover brother" perhaps?!

looking forward to this as well

[AmyO]

Looks fun. I'm sure this will be at the top of my list of flicks to watch. :)

[kurtmo]

Sounds like a fist-full-o-fun! Hoping you can get this produced!

I'm not sure if Jackhammer will happen this fest. I got hired to direct a feature with a decent budget, we started shooting 4 weeks ago and we are scheduled to wrap in June and I have another feature shooting in mid july. Hopefully I can shoot this in between.

Right now I'm working a full time job, shooting 4 days week and taking care of my 2 kids, so my time is on lock.

If I can't get this done I will be back for the next one for sure. :crybaby:

[Chris_Keaton]

Damn! I hate when life gets in the way.

Sometimes I just want to punch life in the neck (see avatar).

[Richard J. Johnson]

LOL. That avatar looks my son, but that fist will fly straight into your face. Dude is violent.

[Sprocketboy]

Its good to see that you have your priorities straight. I'm in a similar situation, but didn't even have a chance to start a thread for Quest Fest. In reality, a good short takes a long time to make when you include all the stages of production. You have to put aside 3 to 5 weeks. During that time, money is leaving your pocket, not going back in. Survival is a priority. :crybaby:

I better stop writing and get back to work.

Hey man,
i'm so sorry that you are not in Questfest ....so let me know if you need of score for your projects ...Actually i'm working hard for release (PSI records or gothic storm) a trailer soundtrack album (epic, war, etc) it should be out (I hope) for july...so let me know if you are in quest fest because i could score only for one short (due to my time) ..if questpeople needed..
Best regards

How about, "The Last Dragon",

"Who's the baddest of the bad?"

I too, can't wait to see this one.

[lyonfilms]

Damn! I hate when life gets in the way.

I honestly laughed out loud when I read the quote above. I think we all "just want to punch life in the neck" at times.

There is something really funny (in a bad way) about punching life in the neck.
