Exploding Bulbs!

Ok, so your probably wondering.. what the heck is he talking about right? Well, we have concluded another weekend of filming and alot of crazy stuff happened. Night one, we had alot of delays and one our lights just "fell apart" for a lack of a better term. What was supposed to be a relatively short shoot, turned into an all nighter. It was ok though, because we did get most of what we wanted shot. Night two was a better night for everyone, up until another one of our lights came crashing down to the pavement. It narrowly missed my head, and it was quite the "scary" sight (we are making a horror movie after all right?). Unfortunately accidents do happen sometimes, and noone is to blame and noone was hurt so all is good! We are almost done with all the scenes at the ole missile. We had a few "characters" besides our actors pay us a visit, including what looked to be one of the members of ZZ top. It was quite humorous. All in all it wasn't a bad weekend, and looking at the schedule we are getting quite alot shot, and thats all that matters in the end.


If you are not a fan on facebook.. go do it now!

We were also on www.horrornews.net and www.scaredstiffreviews.com this week! Hooray!

So I'm a bit behind...

Because I'm busy shooting a movie! Sorry guys, I know I haven't posted anything on here in a bit. I'm about to change that right now. I've just been swamped since we are in mid production right now, and I have so many things going on. But, I just wanted to take a minute to let you guys know that last weeks shoot was phenomenal once again. We had a great time with our actors/crew and so far so good.

This weekend is our first DAY shoot (thank goodness) since the very first shoot. I'm eager to see what kind of stuff we can get. This will also be our first shoot with extras. So that should be fairly interesting. I'm sure they all will do a great job!

I promise I will continue with the Cast and Crew meet and greet!

Until then, here is a screen capture from the movie to keep you busy!




Shooting down in.... t****ville.

Hey guys! Is this DAY 5 or DAY 6? I lost count already? Either way, we had a fabulous weekend of shooting this weekend. We were on location with the Holiday Rambler with a night of Banjo's, redneck campfire singalongs, and gruesome killins'. It was our first shoot with special FX and they went off without a hitch. I wound up doing all the special FX makeup myself for this shoot and our special FX advisor Jarrod Musselwhite handled everything else. Everything look absolutely fantastic and our actors were incredible to watch and hang out with. I hope to be able to work with all of them again in the future as they are consummate professionals, and experts at their crafit (in my very small personal opinion.) I learned alot from them and from everyone on set so far. All my actors were troopers in the slight cold and nastyness that was to come for them (Here's looking at you Bethany!). I cannot wait to see this scene played out on screen.

Here's a few photos from the nights events you can see the rest at our set photographer's website found at http://wmiphotography.smugmug.com/Movies/Exit-101/11240259_y4tqk#810105029_zs7xt

Day 4 "almost" finished!

I promise I will get back to the features on our cast/crew shortly. I've been so busy filming and planning shooting dates that I haven't had a chance. We shot some more opening scenes at the missile Saturday night. We had the very awesome vintage Police car, that the Crisp County Sheriff's Dept most generously allowed us to use, and even did a bit of stunt driving for us. Also want to thank the Crisp County Police Dept. for helping with crowd control! We got some great stuff, and was even able to brave 20 degree wind, people getting set on fire, and lighting malfunctions. Here's a photo album of more photos from the Lab and all new photos from Saturday. William Mahnken is our set photographer.


Day 3 Wrapped!

Hey guys, been fairly busy with production so I've been kinda slacking on updates. We filmed at Helena Industries last Saturday, thanks to Thomas Graves and Phil Berryman for helping us out with that. Also, thanks to Rebecca for hanging out with us all day. We got alot of amazing footage of the lab there as well as our actors Michael, Daniel, Dennis and Mike. We went out to the missile later that night for an epic scene that had everyone giggling as people ordered their Krystal burgers in the drive thru. We have some really cool stuff coming up and I can't wait to see the film take shape! Here's a picture our set photographer William Mahnken took during a shot of Dennis in the lab.


Production Update!

Taking a short break from introducing the cast to let you know whats going on with us! We have been in production for about 2 weeks now, and we've gotten some stuff shot finally that we can use after having a ton of initial technical issues. We've learned that "Less is more" is very true when it comes to film making. If you try to make things complicated, everything becomes frustrating. We are shooting all day today at a very cool location at a local chemical plant. We are using the laboratory there. We want to thank Helena Industries for working with us and making these scenes possible.
