now i gotta do the poster and get the script done... Already got my cast and crew set for this (same group from "Tomfoolery") and we'll be shooting in and around Toronto.

Hardest part is going to be finding the location for the 24Hour Porn Shop...
 
Gotta get the official rules in, but I'll definitely be bringing the sex, drugs, rock and roll.... and the funny. So this is aimed to be a dark comedy in many ways...

with 1000 ELEPHANTS!
 
Dammit. All I got on my list is a rooftop, a porn shop and a morgue...

Maybe I'll get lucky with the morgue location and get a good funeral home with marble fittings... that would be cool for that one scene...

Click to expand...

I'm just kidding :D

Your list doesn't sound that bad either. Actually I think this combination is more interesting than mine.
 
I think this fest is going to be quite interesting because for the first time in 5 years I'll be venturing into the land of comedy (albeit dark comedy), so now I'll have to strike a balance in my shooting style and lighting (dark and moody) with the acting and story...

Some of the dialog and the situations are quite funny so far so we'll see how it shapes up in the rewrite. Maybe if I made it a musical...
 
well I JUST did the Toronto 48 Hour Film Challenge only last weekend, and worked with a good cast and crew. We'd talked about doing another film together and I had mentioned the next DVXUser Fest.. they they were all excited about it. We had a couple of locations available to us from the 48 Hour project, that we never got around to using, so those are definitely open to us.

So it's really kinda putting the cart before the horse and following from the momentum of last week's project. Now we actually have to really flesh out the script once we get the rules in. At least we know who we'll be writing for and have a list of scenarios for the locations...

But we are definitely having sex, drug and vampires in it. That's my solemn vow. We may even have a ninja, but that's up in the air... depends on if we can get Rogan up to Toronto and into a ninja outfit :grin:
