Mister Angerhead

Adrenaline Film Project ripped from our brains!

admin — Mon, 10 Nov 2008 17:01:00 +0000

Last weekend we created a movie from scratch! Mary and I and our new writing/producing associate, Jane Barnes participated in the Adrenaline Film Project, part of the Virginia Film Festival. Starting on Wednesday at 4:30 p.m., we had to invent a story, pitch it to Hollywood mentors (Jeff Wadlow (Writer-Director of Cry Wolf, Never Back Down), Beau Bauman (Writer-Producer Cry Wolf), and Leigh Kilton-Smith (Acting Coach who has worked with Wadlow on several productions) –– our pitches were rejected, rejected, rejected, and finally passed), write the story (again rejected multiple times, finally green-lit, kinda-sorta), scout locations, cast actors and dancers, art direct the location, rehearse, choreograph (because what’s a movie without a big dance number?), light, shoot, shoot, shoot, compose music, edit, edit, edit, mix sound, and debut the masterpiece on Saturday at 10 p.m. in front an audience of 600!

We got feedback from the above mentors as well as Mark Johnson (Producer of Diner, Good Morning Vietnam, Rain Man, Chronicles of Narnia 1-3, etc.), who sat at my side during the edit, making me nervous as the clock raced toward the deadline.

On completion, we were pleased with the results, BUT during the earlier editing we were pissing our undies, fallling out of our chairs. We appreciate the input from our Hollywood fellows, but we think their suggestions sucked some of the juice out of the film. We are currently recutting it to return some of the surreality to it. We’ll post both versions in the next few days so you can see the A/B results.

In the meantime, some production stills and frames:

Four County Players! Call to Action!

First, come to our show!

An exclamation point says it all! We’re very excited because we’re putting on a show at the Four County Players theater in Barboursville (VA) and we want you to be there! This is the call to action: come to the show and bring your friends (or your family if you have no friends — but no kids please, this movie is too much for children). Let all your friends in Barboursville, Orange, Gordonsville, and Charlottesville know. Dang that was easy.

And share us with your friends:

If you are Facebooky or on MySpace, hook us up, become a fan/friend to Mister Angerhead! We are trying something new and unusual in promoting our movie primarily through these streams of communication.

Hi ho!

We are in the throes of what they call in show biz “self distribution”. Well what does this mean for you? It means if you live in Virginia Mister Angerhead is coming your way! But we don’t have a movie theater in my town, you say. No problem! We are a mobile theatrical release – we’ve got the screen, we’ve got the sound, heck we’ve even got the popcorn! All we need is a place for people to sit back and absorb the creepy arty charm of Mister Angerhead. Do you have such an area? Then give us a shout at info@misterangerhead.com.
