Clean Slate Productions Presents: JOHN ABBOTT MITCHELL

Hey Ben,

Not sure if this has been brought up or not, but would you (or are you) considering making a feature based on Mitchell?
 
Tommy,

Congrats ... you are the 124th person to suggest a feature based on JAM. You win the foil gum wrapper and blue-white-ish lint that is in my back pocket! (just give me your address and it's all yours). [/sarcasm] :) :evil:

We are very humbled by everyone's suggestions that this character deserves a feature based upon him. It's been in consideration ever since we finished In Pieces, but nothing has come to fruition. I've been missing "the hook" to the movie for quite some time. As Kholi has told me, we've got a great angle, a serial killer movie told through the eyes of a serial killer instead of the cop that is following him, and I can come up with all sorts of ways for people to die, but the "WHY" of it all has alluded me for about 9 months now. In the shorts, it's John's search for a "perfect kill" ... which is neat for 5-6 minutes, but I don't think it has the strength for 90+.

Once I figure out the why, I'll start writing all over (I think i've written about 200 pages of JAM feature that I've scrapped cause it was CRAP.)

UPDATE!

I'm very pleased to announced that "IN PIECES", the first short film starring John Abbott Mitchell has been accepted into the Action On Film Festival. We screen in the 6 PM block on Thursday, July 31st at the Laemmle Theater.

Since they are still updating the AOF site, I've yet to find out if we are nominated for anything, but that would be pretty cool as well! *crosses fingers*

I'd like to thank everyone involved in that piece (production team, you guys ROCK) especially Davis Osborne, for it is his chilling performance that can be directly attributed to the success of that project.
 
I'll PM you my address... :cheesy:

It's cool that you've got a draft written already (even if you did scrap it).

I agree it's tough to write a feature based on a serial killer. Hope you can come up with something. :beer:

Davis, it was a close vote, but you won over the watchman and the guy from survival for "Creepiest Mother F*cker"

Your prize is filming a feature with me.

Congrats! I'll see you at your showing!
 
Just wanted you guys to know I really enjoyed your movie. Rated very high on my list, not sure why it got jacked in the end. Davis has that look and persona I can use in a project I am working on. Perhaps at some point....
 
I suspect it was evil blue miniature gnomes that registered for DVXuser and led a revolt against us. I'm going to go attack them at the castle of Aaaauuuggghhhh .........
 
how do little blue gnomes register with dvxuser?.....it seems as though their little concrete hands might crush the keyboard....lol....much respect and scary luv to you sliker........p.s.....i refuse to play an evil blue gnome in your next twisted tale.........)

Davis, You're the ****. I hope we cross paths someday...

yeah ... how clever ... name your coffee shop after a friends' song that was sung ... in a coffee shop.

JAM now tips the scales at a hefty 7:05. Off to herman to do his magic on a new cut.
