Zone 63 – post one

I just finished a script for a teaser trailer for a film I’m writing called ‘Zone 63’. I’m still writing the full screenplay and I plan on using the trailer to help me get funding for the rest of the movie. The teaser is like most, just a snapshot of the bigger picture. I want to shoot it as soon as I can. I have a MiniDV camera, now the script and the will to do it. All I need now is a rainy day in the woods and an actor to kill off. I’m sure I can find those things here in Vancouver. If I can’t find somone else to act in it I’ll do it myself. I would love do the Hitchock/Peter Jackson/Shyamalan thing and show up in bit parts in all my films. Perhaps my own death will be my trademark.

Once I’m done with all the post production, editing, adding sound and titles, I’ll share a link to it here. I’ve already reserved the domain name zone63.com, although there’s nothing on the site yet. Once I have all the copyright stuff squared away I’ll let everyone in on the storyline. All the posts on this subject will be in the Zone 63 category on my blog so you can isolate them from my usual crap.

It’s cool that it’s finally happening. I’ve realized lately that the only thing truly holding me back at all is myself. the cool part of that revelation is that it opens up the door to limitless possibilities. Who knows where we’ll land, but if some of the really bad films I’ve seen can get made then so can mine.

I just wanna make movies.

Baby steps…
