We're off and running with our MonsterFest entry!
I tossed around several good concepts for this fest (one of them is proving very elusive to put together, but I'm still trying) but in the meantime we're moving forward with Drive-In. The second draft of the script is complete; any further changes will be minor.
Glad to have Jeremiah on-board with us again on this one. Hope Pauly, Kevin, and Jason might consider joining us. Also, any dvxuser members in the Las Vegas area are welcome.
Michelle is currently working the phones trying to get permission to shoot at the only drive-in movie theater still operating in Las Vegas. Hopefully she can pull it off. After all, they're not doing much there in the daytime. Failing that, we're out to an empty stretch of desert which we'll enhance with some set extensions (primarily a drive-in theater screen). I don't envy Jeremiah having to do that work in post if need be.
The principal cast will be made up of three actors, plus we need a bunch of people to play the, well, I don't want to give it away just yet, but they'll be filling in the monster element to the film. We need a whole mess of props and costumes and other stuff so we've got quite a bit of work to do.
It depends on how organized we can get ourselves, but I expect shooting to take about two days. It would be nice if we could squeeze it all into one day, but they're all daytime scenes.
Good luck to everyone in MonsterFest!
