Redress - Script Update
2008-03-29 10:46:00 Wow - 2008 is flying by fast. On that note, the month of April is here! I wanted to start filming bits and pieces of Redress this month, however the script is not done yet. My writing partner Kreg and I have been diligently meeting and writing and the story is much more focused than it was a month ago. There is far more character development - in fact, I'm very sure the story could stand by itself even if we removed all of the horror elements. We're getting close - not just close enough to film yet. The nice thing about being a small studio is that nobody breathes down our back - the bad thing is that budgets are small, so sometimes day jobs and errands get in the way of a good writing session :-)Once the cameras finally start rolling I plan to send out a press release and hopefully have a trailer ready in time for Comic-Con.On other fronts, I have been busy designing our new company shirts and promo items for the Fangoria Weekend of Horrors in Los Angeles at the end of April.

Locations and Bugs and Trailers - OH MY!
2008-03-01 13:02:00 While Kreg and I are busy wrapping up the script for Redress, I have been scouting locations in my free time and beginning to gather a number of the props that will be needed for the shoot. This film has a number of locations in it which will be a definite challenge when it comes to filming, but I know we need them. I have found a wicked looking park which you find a picture of in the teaser poster that is floating around and we have our psychologist office all lined up also.In other news, we will be using a number of live animals in this film as well - not anything like lions, tiger and bears (Oh My!), but more like real maggots, worms and crows (Fuck Yeah). I don't want to say too much about how we plan to use these little critters, as they refer to some ultra awesome twists in the plot, but I'll give you a hint. As we all know, dead things are eaten by a variety of bugs, worms and other animals when they die. Maggots love to devour dead flesh and how many times have you see...
REDRESS is becoming a Feature Film!
2008-02-10 08:55:00 It is finally official and now I want to start hyping the news: Redress is becoming a feature length film!As I had more time to sit and think about the story I passed it around to a few people for review. One of my friends has some ideas to add and the project pretty much exploded from there. We are still hashing out the script at this moment, but since I had already done a lot of preproduction on the film in its short form, the project is on the launch pad waiting for its tanks to get filled. Most of the cast and crew are placed; we just have a few more roles to fill once the story if flushed out some more.The goal for now is to start filming around Mid April. I will be releasing a press release later in the month. We will have a teaser ready for the Los Angeles Fangoria Week of Horrors in late April. We hill have the film wrapped by the time Comic-Con rolls around in July.Stay Tuned... our website is going to get busy again :-)

REDRESSING SALIENT POINTS & PIE HOLES
2007-11-05 12:40:00 FROM THE AULD BUFF IN RESPONSE TO G-FORCE'S HEINOUS LETTER:Dear G-Hole, I?d like to address the salient points of your recent communiqué:?You've always been a true friend to me??Actually, I?ve ratted you out to the Thought Police on more than one occasion, and I?ve sent newspaper clippings of all your public disgraces to your mother, which probably explains why you?ve been disowned. Just be thankful that I didn?t deposit a Coke bottle up your corn hole that time you passed out in my living room, in a gigantic puddle of your own aromatic chuck-up.?? and you?ve always said you'd take a bullet for me.?Dream on, you reprobate. I said I?d LOAN you a bullet, and I'd be happy to get back the spent cartridge.?A monster banger up the carpal tunnel too. And I respect that.?I can only assume this is an allusion to my alleged skills as a professional scribbler. If it?s an allusion to backdoor boogie, you can go and shag yourself with a Howizter, you degenerate, steaming pile of loose moose ...
Redress - Casting Begins
2007-10-06 07:44:00 I posted a casting call on the site for Redress and copied it to MySpace, Craigslist and the usual places.The thing I hate about posting anything online is that there is huge amount of spam that always follows. I get DPs and Composers emailing, sending DVDs and calling all hours of the day. I realize they are just trying to drum up business, but I can't stand it sometimes. When I need crew members, I will post ads for them.The worst thing about casting a posting call is when your email address gets listed on a page - because then the spambots grab it. Now, in addition to resumes and headshots you have to contend with ads for viagra and mysterious letters from rich-ass Ethiopian prince. In order to avoid most of this hassle, I posted "casting at steelwebstudios.com" assuming that most people know to type that into their email program with @ in place of the "at". I see it on websites all the time. Do you know how many people send me messages saying that they can't send email to "ca...

Redress - 1st Draft Completed
2007-10-04 23:00:00 I have finally found time to sit down and finish the first draft of the script for Redress. The problem with being an indie filmmaker is that your job and other responsibilities always take priority over your filmmaker duties. I've been talking with producers and musicians on numerous projects. We're also getting ready for a huge vacation in one week so there has been a ton of planning for that. Now that I have some time to myself I was able to sit down again and write.The funny thing about this story was that I knew where it would start and I knew where it would end, but I did not know exactly how it would end. After hammering out the last few pages I sat back and thought, "Wow, how the hell am I going to pull this off?" While some people just let their imaginations run all over the place while they are writing, I always try to remain grounded and think about how I would have to pull off an effect or camera angle with every scene that I write. Sometimes this limits me because I'...

Redress - Character Designs
2007-09-11 07:50:00 I spent some time sketching out my design for the lead female character. This is going to be a Tale from the Carnal after all, so she needs to be sexy and powerful. I don't want to post the design yet - and not just because it looks like a third grader drew it. I hate spoiling the good stuff so you'll just have to wait and see what this new girl looks like. I think she's going to give Andromeda a run for her money... Let's just say for now that she's partially clothed and constantly dripping with blood.
Redress - Script Update
2007-08-25 03:00:00 I am pleased to announce that the 1st draft of the script for Redress is about 2/3 complete. Most of the people I've clued in about the story say this will be the scariest thing I've done yet.
Redress - Pre-production Begins!
2007-08-18 15:04:00 I've been wanting to make two types of films for a while now: (1) a ghost story, and (2) a very short film. Judging from my past reviews I know that I can scare people and I know I can gross them out and creep them out. Now I want to prove I can scare you...I am pleased to announce I have begun work on my new short film "Redress":One night during the long ride home, a convicted felon is visited by the ghost of a murdered woman and becomes a pawn in a mission of spiritual vengeance.Redress will appear on Tales from the Carnal Morgue - Volume Two and hopefully at some film festivals near you. For those of you who are screatching your heads about what "Redress" means, I suggest you grab a dictionary or follow this link...More details soon... I promise...
News & Current Events :: Hope Comes with Water Find; Crisis Needs Redress
2007-07-20 14:32:00 Author: Eric Subject: Hope Comes with Water Find; Crisis Needs RedressPosted: Fri Jul 20, 2007 8:32 am (GMT -4) Hope Comes with Water Find; Crisis Needs Redress Sudan (MNN) -- There's an excitement brewing in Sudan's Darfur region, the brightest hope for peace, with a hopeful staying power over accords. According to research teams, a huge underground lake has been found. The water reservoir lies underneath a former highland lake, which has been obscured by sand. Low-intensity tribal conflicts, fed by decades of scarce water and food sources, eventually blew up into a four-year civil war, where 200,000 lost their lives and over 1.5 million people have been displaced. It's enough to make those working to find solutions ecstatic. But it also doesn't change the immediate problems created by the fighting in Darfur. World Vision International's Rose Kimeu paints a grim picture of the crisis in Darfur. Despite hopeful news of a solution to the water wars, at least...
Chair Couture -- Redressing the Fabulous
2007-05-12 20:47:00 I love the idea of recycling old furniture and giving it a new look. Margret of Chair Couture does just that. She finds vintage French and Italian pieces and dresses them up to give them a whole new, bold look with stand out fabrics and paint. Vive la design!

2007-02-16 23:32:02 Après les charts software, voici venu le classement des ventes de hardware de la semaine. La Wii se paye le luxe d'augmenter un petit peu son rythme de vente sans aucune sortie majeure. Nintendo s'en sort donc très bien, face à une PS3 qui lutte encore malgré la sortie de VF5.
