Let's Make a Movie!

here's the official craigslist ad that keeps getting flagged and taken down for no reason.

CAST AND CREW NEEDED FOR HOLIDAY HORROR / DARK COMEDY- Students welcome!

Hello!

Anyone into horror should jump on the chance to work on this! We will be shooting on weekends in March.

It's a very innovative script for a horror/dark comedy Christmas creature movie. It was written and is being produced by 2 FX make-up artists and a stuntman/character actor, so the story is not only witty/creepy/scary, but visually will be quite stunning with the right crew and equipment to shoot it with.

I'm looking for creative and highly motivated people on board to realize our vision. Horror nerds a plus- we do love our genre!

CREW:

SOUND - Like any movie, sound is going to be extremely important so anyone with sound equipment or knowledge of it.

CAMERA -Someone that owns and operates their own professional digital camera with an audio input is ideal. We really have no budget, but I am willing to pay what i can for someone with the right equipment and skills to make this happen.

LIGHTS- I'm looking for a talented DP that would like to gain great experience and work with me to set creepy and scary moods with little money. I want to get someone on board first and then discuss with them what lights and equipment we'll need for the script.

CAST-

JOEY: Age 10-14 boy- really badly behaved kid.

SANTA: Big, over-weight male. A very disheveled Santa. Beard not necessary, but preferred.

MR. HINERITZ: School Principal looking male. Age 30-60 German accent (real or fake)

Email me with your resume or examples of your work or whatever you have, and what you're interested in, as well as your contact information.

Payment is little to none, unfortunately, but like I said- we are make up artists, so a share of trades is always an option, too.

HO HO HO AND AN OH NO! - AN INTRO TO MY MOVIE

i could rant all day about how much i dislike christmas...but actually the rant is scheduled for a little later on in front of the press, so let's just say that i don't get it, i don't like it, and since it means soooooo much to everyone else that all they do is shove it down your throats for 3 months prior, i care even less...

halloween is and always will be the only true holiday on my calendar...which you all bastardize by dressing up like the "hottest" celebrities and giant foam bananas anyway (instead of trying to get kids to pee their pants and cry) so OF COURSE you love christmas! you're all homos! and don't you realize by now that ALL christmas songs have subliminal messages in them?? why do you think they play them in every single store from october-january? and why do you think you ended up spending $600 on a heated toilet seat cover for your great aunt, a robot puppy (that really poops) for that bastard child of your dry cleaning lady, an entire boudoir decorative pillow set for your boss's cousin, and a lamp that looks like a fishbowl...for yourself....and you only went into target to pick up laundry detergent?! and then guess what you forgot to get? the fucking laundry detergent!
well...now that that's out of my system...my point:

I'M MAKING A CHRISTMAS MOVIE!

::AND THERE WAS GREAT REJOICING::

oh, wait...did i mention it's a horror movie...that kills puppies and children?!

::AND THERE WAS...dead silence::

me and the very talented vince slaughter whipped up a deliciously awful script within hours that is so ingenious that it needs to be done justice. it was like once the concept was decided upon, it wrote itself. ITS GOT A MIND OF ITS OWN! so now onto the hard part...actually seeing it thru to production...locations, sets, props, costumes, make-up, equipment, a cast and crew...sigh...i'm not giving away any details, but if anyone is interested in being a part of it, let me know. after all is said and done- instant fame and fortune...GUARANTEED! let's get to work, people!

LIGHTS! CAMERA! ACTION!

and YOU! Fetch me some coffee!
