 Thank you Mikko Wilson http://www.mikkowilson.com/, Justin Dubin www.justindurban.com,
and Larry R http://www.nrestudios.com/, for hosting the mirror sites!

A woman with fragmented memory shows up in the middle of the night at her ex-lover's door. As she
struggles to piece together why she's come back and the reason she left in the first place, the thin
lines between love and hate, attraction and repulsion, and sex and violence become dangerously obscured.

And, you can see some in depth discussion of his CGI work on Smuggler's Ransom here:http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=64854.

08.24.06 UPDATE: Basically cast ...
with the addition of the amazing Jason Liebman. Off Broadway Jason recently played Hamlet in the traditional Shakespeare, as well as Hamlet leader of an Undead Army in a play called "The Living Dead in Denmark" (opposite Amy Washke) and written by the delvery boy in "Bone Hand" Qui Nguyen! Both leads were written for Amy and Jason. I gauged Amy's interest before I even started writing, and then I offered the male lead to Jason, whom I'd never met at the time, after the script was more or less complete. But they were both in my head for these characters the whole time.

08.18.06 UPDATE: Budget to date ... watch this number grow
there used to be a budget counter here reading $18.19 as of 8/18/06 and I was gonna update it as we spent $, but no time ... so here's the budget after shooting as of 9/20/06.
(these are estimates)
materials ... $350
cast commute expenses ... $350
craft services ... $250
personnel ... $300.
TTL $1300
.. will probably go up a little more during post.

08.08.06 UPDATE: PODCAST THAT inspired the short film REKINDLED
http://www.podcastdirectory.com/podshows/390610
Specifically, starting at 2 minutes and 44 seconds in (wich happens to be an answering machine message left at 2:44 AM), that part on is where I got the idea for the short. This is from my friends Joel Israel, Reggie Watts, and Tommy Smith's podcast, "Poles Apart" from the "Straphangers Bible". BTW, Joel played Bone Hand in my film by the same name (linked from "my other films" in my sig). Find their complete podcasts at www.theapologists.net

08.07.06 UPDATE: writing process and resources ...
Some questions about my writing process and resources have come up. I haven't found a good book I like or guide specifically for shorts (and I've read a few), but here is a structure comparison chart I put together from various gurus and theory way back to Aristotle and have been using on my feature writing for about a year now. Took a good bit of study on my part to put these together so I hope you find them useful.

I know i smiled ..... and then was like shi* .... there goes another prize, time to step up my game.

Glad to see you're in Jack!:thumbsup:
 
Haha! Thanks guys.

Whew ... pressures on, New York is a biotch to shoot stuff like this in, and the competition will be very intense this go around ... we'll see what happens :)

Tim - used Photoshop and a bunch of $1 downloads from
http://www.istockphoto.com/index.php
that place is a great / cheap resource
:thumbsup:
 
I see NAKED PEOPLE

I see NAKED PEOPLE

here are small gif versions of the pieces I used to make the poster and my banner
the actual ones that cost $1 to use are like 640 X 500 or so.

Also from istock photo, there are also naked people embracing composited into the polaroid in the poster (look close you can see them) and they and other images will become more visible as the polaroid "develops" alongside with the project -- which is why they are not posted here.

Also that's a murder victim in plastic in the signature and I think I may evolve that image as well over the time which is again why it's not posted here.

yeah especially for publicity stuff when you have no time or money or way to make it logistically possible to do a photo shoot.

I've cast the lead ... but the actor is out of town on a gig until August, for example.
My lead is the one in the middle
DENMARK%20Album%20Cover.jpg


and she's a fantastic actor fellas ...

She's upstate right now getting her classical groove on playing Elektra at the Hangar theatre.

... and no that's not from my short (she's out of town remember ) that's from a play she did here in NY that was written and directed by the delivery boy in Bone Hand, lol :laugh: http://vampirecowboys.com/past4.htm .... That show kicked ass, and Amy killed 30 zombies onstage with that Samurai sword then they all came back to life and she killed them again - a fight scene which featured a dissembowling!:thumbsup:

I have had the pleasure of directing her for the stage, however, and can't wait to work with her on camera.

Ey Jack,

Project's looking good, man! I loved your Bone Hand! I'm a friend and classmate of Herman and I loved the score to. He did a briliant job. Can't wait to see what you're gonna come up with for Horrorfest!

Cheers,
 
lol, what is this? battle of the asian leads?

but for real though cool jack nice to see you're back.
 
:grin:
Yeah I thought the same thing when I saw your lead, even though Amy was already cast (I swear):engel017:

I know ... it will look like a J-Horror fest around here, which is kinda cool IMHO, given the horror renaissance that's going on there.

But I would jump at the chance to work with Amy under any circumstances in any genre for any part so she's always at the top of my list; her being Asian is just a side benefit for J-Horror geeks like you and me.

like the poster! as always we are looking forward to your entry! and add us to the J-horror geeks (although our lead isn't asian- she just wishes she was)! This Amy sounds badass- looking forward to seeing her in action...
 
Thanks!

Don't want to set up a false expectation in the type of badassness though -- the Ameister won't be doing an action role in this one.

Not saying, however, that her character ain't gonna find herself in a predicament or two that's quite difficult to get out of ...
:evil: muahaha...
:evil: muahahaha ...
:evil: muahahahaha!
:grin:
