"PLACEBO" presented by "PIATT FILMS"

Daniel, I am really looking forward to this. The poster is nice and the title is great. I, like most people, love The Small Multiple, and I can't wait to see what you do here.
 
Hey guys,

Thanks for checking it out! I just talked through the project with my DP yesterday and am looking forward to getting things underway!

Still need to do some location scouting...oh yeah, I guess I need to find some actors too...man, this sure sounding like a lot of work... :D

Guess I should be getting this thing produced instead of checking this forum 864 times a day! :)
 
Yep, Eric Meisner...the one and only! He said someone from Plano had contacted him about DP'ing their DVXFest film...is that you guys? I figured it might be as you are the only ones I know of from that area.

Hopefully it works out with his schedule...he is aboslutely PHENOMENAL and the only reason my films end up looking like anything halfway decent!

If you guys need a hand let me know...

Later fellas.
 
Yea it is! I am really looking forward to working with him. I've got the script (rough) set, and have pretty much scouted the locations.

I'm sure we will need the help! I'll def. let you know! I'm really hoping we up our game for this short.
 
I might shoot you a PM about some locations we are trying to find and see if you know of anything in the area...

Also, just updated the banner!

Peace out.

Yea sure... I'll see what I can come up with. I know of a couple sweet abandoned warehouse locations in like Celina... I've thought about shooting a short there. You'd probably need a generator, lots of lights and permission from the owner ;)
 
Sweet dude! That might be promising...

I know...the only problem with awesome locations like that is the fact that there is usually no power...and not enough money to rent a real generator! :D

Any leads on abandoned hospitals (or older hospitals under renovation)? Come on man! What am I paying you for?!?! :evil:

Hah! I wish I was getting paid... Something. ANYTHING! :) Maybe one day my crazy desire to make films will actually pay off.

You might try these small towns around here, there are like 100 within a 10 mile radius of Denton/ Frisco. I would call an old shop in those towns and just ask if they know of any old hospitals. Then contact from there... Or just get in contact with some small hospital. Just a thought.
 
Man, funny you would ask. I've been trying to do some research on the web...

I would LOVE to find an abandoned/closed hospital...or at least one that is doing some renovations and has a wing closed down (or something comparable). Ideally it would be older (the creepy, 70's horror film kinda vibe). Anything come to mind? I found some stuff online but it will take some work to track down who owns what and then get permission...

A friend told me about a hospital in Ft. Worth that is unused except for the 3rd floor which they still use as a psych ward...talk about creepy! At least the crew/actors would be "in the moment". :D

Also, got an actor on board for the lead that I am excited about. I have seen some of his work but never got to shoot anything with him personally. His name is Marc Jeffreys. Headshot posted on Page #1.

Hopefully I'll slowly get more stuff posted on here as elements come together...

Late!

Daniel
 
Marc almost looks like a less creepy more mature Paul Reubens... :) Wicked!

That hospital sounds awesome!

How did you go about casting Marc? I've gotten a few bites for my short on craigslist, but I'm wondering if there is something I'm missing locally... I know the actress in TSM, worked on another friend's short called "The New Position." She did a great job in that. I'm needing a lead and an awesome makeup artist.
