If you want to read more information about my song, "The Joker" feel free to read my blog about it, by clicking here! Friday, November 14, 2008: Getting ready to go to a late night editing meeting on the Plaza. After that, I will be doing some editing through the night - if all goes to plan. However, you can now check out some behind the scenes photos on the "Photos" page by clicking here! Sunday, November 9, 2008: The filming is over! Everyone was amazing. I'm thrilled for everyone to see what our FANTASTIC crew and FANTASTIC cast made happen. As a director, and more as a person, I can say I miss the people in that room. It was amazing to see everyone come together and play so well off each other. Beyond that, it was a very friendly environment - with no drama from the cast or crew. Well...only a few screams, in the script. Tomorrow, I'm going to dive in and put together the system that this bad-boy will be edited on. I'm devoted to making sure this finished project looks as amazing as it was to see firsthand..LIVE. I'm going to post up some screenshots later in the week. Even though the shooting process of the film is done, the updates about the finished product are only just starting. It is also worth noting that tentatively the short-film will debut on YouTube.com and MySpaceTV.com on December 9th, 2008! (Exactly one month from now.) Monday, November 3, 2008: What good is a comic book film without The Joker? While the answer to that question might be different depending on who you ask, we didn't want to find out the hard way. With that being said, The Joker will be featured (in some form) in the film! He will be portrayed by Michael Valentine. Check out the YouTube video link below to get a feel for how The Joker will sound in the film. And before you ask, no it isn't Mark Hamill. I promise you - it isn't. A special thank you to Michael for helping bring The Joker to life for this film.

Here is the official cast list below: Jason Damian Amanda Geisel Angela Morrow Rachael Redler Tim Rowe Khigh Abner There is also a surprise guest who will be announced soon enough. I also want to give a special thank you to all the talented people who came out and did auditions/interviews for this project. It wasn't a case of lack of talent for the people who didn't get roles - it was simply, there weren't enough roles to go around. Tomorrow I have to go find a few props for the film. Lucky for me, all the Halloween stores are having sales. I also plan to prepare the second short-film a bit more. (Already.) In closing, it seems that time between preparing for shooting this film and being days away from shooting it - has gone by in an mmmbop. Whatever. Enough 90s references for one update. Monday, September 22, 2008: Sorry for the lack of updates! We've been busy getting the talent signed up and we are currently casting the role of Linda Park. (The Flash aka Wally West's Girlfriend.) Once we get her role cast - we will announce it! In other news, filming will now be EARLY November 2008! More updates soon - I promise! Also a huge THANK YOU to everyone who has signed up for our MAILING LIST! We've been getting some awesome feedback about this project ALREADY! Friday, September 12, 2008:
The final draft of the script has now been completed! This story features some very well known (and lesser known) comic book characters. Due to the slight but AMAZING plot changes, filming might get pushed back to early November. Casting news to follow......stay tuned! Wednesday, September 3, 2008: Okay guys...this is going to be a quick post. A lot of people have asked, "What will The Flash look like in your short film?" I am about to answer that..sort of. Below you will find a picture of the costume, except for the mask itself. The other thing is..it is a direct photo - so it is missing the "style" I mentioned yesterday. Obviously, the photo won't have the post-production coolness added, that the finished short-film will. But to give you an idea, check the photo below. A big shout out to Martin over at Comic-costumes for the awesome design work on the costume shown below. The picture doesn't do this awesome costume justice...but the film will. More soon - I promise!!  Tuesday, September 2, 2008: Hey guys. This page will feature updates about our upcoming short-film, "The Flash: Crossover." For the first update, I wanted to give everyone an idea of how the film will end up looking. More than likely, (unless some lame-o problem happens during shooting or post production) the film will look a lot like the "style" of the 2006 movie, "A Scanner Darkly." Incase you aren't familiar with the film, I'd encourage you to go watch it now. At the very least, visually it is AMAZING, and the plot of the film is a mind-fuck in itself. Below, I've included some high quality screenshots from "A Scanner Darkly" incase you decide to ditch my advice and not watch the movie (punk). That is all for now.      |
