"Dead Week" - A film by Kyle Stebbins (and company)

Ha - I like the idea of having planted victims. 361 is quite a few zombies... Wonder if Tulsa has a zombie walk. Off to go find out...
 
The lead role of "Chaz" has been given to Matt Spitsen. Matt is a good friend of mine and has quite a bit of experience doing local stand up and improv comedy. He's a theatre minor at the University of Nebraska and will be a great addition to the cast.

The zombie walk was a blast, however a little long. It was probably a good 3 or 4 miles. The one thing I was going to do was have Leigh and her friends attack me while filming, at which point others would surely join in, so we'd have a cool POV of a news man caught in the midst or something. We figured we'd do it at the end of the walk, but by then everyone was simply exhausted and didn't have quite the enthusiasm they had earlier. All we wanted to do was find a place to sit down. I had also been shooting a film with Alex for about 7 hours prior to the walk... so I had a hell of a day on my feet.

But I had a ton of fun during my whole weekend in Lincoln; Kyle and his dad are awesome hosts; definitely worthy of deeming Monster Shack Midwest if you ask me ;)

Thanks, Nate. It was great having you stay here. You were totally exhausted this morning... I can't believe how long you were out. Props!

As each day passes I get more and more excited about our shoot. We've substituted one of our days for a Sunday, Oct 5th so that means we'll be dragging our project out even longer than originally expected! The good news is that everything is falling into place. (I never ever thought they would.)

Theres a possibility we'll be shooting this with a Letus Extreme, so stay tuned for news with that. It is a warm welcome as I used to own a Redrock M2 which was later sold to Geoff R. I've been missing it ever since.

I hope Alex Jeffery gets a thread up here soon for his latest piece. He's got an incredible cast... probably one of the best you can get here in town... and shooting with him today was a great warm up for our shoot this coming weekend.
 
Yo Nate! Wish I could have been there. Sounds like a hell of a time, but WTF 3 or 4 miles?????

Give my best to the Stebbs household. Awesome hosts indeed!
 
Ah, thanks Kyle. I saw that map the other day but couldn't seem to find it again. I drew out that route on Google with the walking directions you can do now, and it came out to about 2.5-3 miles (since I can't tell Google to cut across UNL campus like we did). But then we had to walk several more blocks to meet up with Leigh's sister to hitch a ride back to Alex's dorm... plus I had walked from his dorm on 17th & Vine... so yeah, 3ish miles :tongue: I'm not built for that! I sit on a computer all week long, hehe.

 I tell you what, Nick. This seriously just fell on my lap out of NOWHERE. My dad threw me a text message that read "Zombie walk in Lincoln next week. No joke." - It was perfect.

The hype factor for this is now officially through the roof!

Scary but exciting! We've got something really fun here, and we'll have done our job if the audience breaks off their own piece of it!

 MMMMmmmmm BRAAAAIIIIINNNNSSSSS
 
Kyle, nice grabs!

Zombie Walk... wow, I can't wait to get out of New Hampshire.... I have NEVER EVEN HEARD OF THIS! Oh, I have been up in New England too long.

That Zombie Walk must have been awesome with so many people. I would love to have a camera there for that. Sounds very cool.

Nate did a great job capturing it.

I'll see if I can't pull some audio from it and post it here.
Would that be against fest rules?

Thanks man.
Too many banners around here are cluttered and have no real flow. They are too busy to read and have some preeettty ugly fonts. In fact, real ugly fonts. Terrible, disgusting, vile fonts.

But yeah, thanks, Nick!

I agree. Keeping it simple is the way to go. Great work as always. Maybe if you stop sending me updates every day and I can actually get an edit in I will be able to add that to my sig. :D
