Dead Static update

We've been hard at work wrapping up post-production on Emily's Bridge and also pre-production on Lake Bomoseen. Both of these found footage tales are part of our upcoming found footage trilogy called Dead Static. We do not have a third tale chosen yet but the overall film will be about 20 minutes or so with each tale ranging from 5-8 minutes. The 1st tale Emily's Bridge turned out great and we're hoping to achieve the same horrifying results with the next tale Lake Bomoseen, which we will be shooting later this summer. We're holding a casting call on May 12th from 6pm-9pm at VCAM in Burlington if you're in Vermont and want to try out. More details here.

Back to found footage...

Now that our short Halloween film Pumpkinbane has been released and uploaded to our YouTube channel, we've gone straight back into production on a new project. Since our short found footage award-winning film Night of the Vampire has been so successful, we've decided to return to what we're best at. So this time we're doing a found footage trilogy called Dead Static. The first piece of footage Emily's Bridge has already been shot and is now in post-production (it's a little over 5 minutes). The second piece of footage we start shooting mid to late summer. The last piece we shoot late fall. We do not have a release date yet but we're hoping sometime early in 2014. The overall film will probably be around 20 minutes. Creepy stuff!

Pumpkinbane is now public!

Here's our little Halloween treat. We hope you enjoy!

Pumpkinbane Poster

Here it is folks, the poster for our upcoming Halloween short PUMPKINBANE, which you can watch online starting Wednesday, March 13th. Illustrated by the very talented Creep Master Matthew Sylvester. Look for the movie here on our blog and our YouTube channel. If you enjoy it, be sure to share it with your friends and family...if you dare! Heh, heh, heh!

Pumpkinbane last update

This will be the final update for our upcoming short Halloween movie Pumpkinbane, which we are releasing to YouTube on March 13th. The movie is now 98% done in the edit and all that's left is some minor adjustments. Around the beginning of March, we will be releasing an illustrated poster for the movie which was done by Matthew Sylvester of Vermont. Then on March 13, we'll embed the movie here on the DeadFi blog and all our social networks will have a link to watch it as well. Here's to an early Halloween for 2013!

Casting Males in Vermont

We are seeking young males between 18-25 for our upcoming found footage anthology Dead Static. The 1st tale shoots early this March and will consist of two consecutive night shoots in Stowe. We are currently setting up individual auditions in Burlington with serious and reliable talent only. Please email us if you are interested with a pic of yourself and town of residence as well as general availability. No experience is necessary. Please note: no out-of-state talent will be considered, Vermont based actors only. No pay/non-union.

Pumpkinbane update #6

Pumpkinbane is almost done in the edit. We're doing some more sound work later this month and also trying out Magic Bullet Looks on the footage to see what we get. The additional visual FX we had added in turned out great as well thanks to Stephen Maas. So the movie is on track for the official release date which is set for Wednesday, March 13th, 2013. Look for it here on the blog and on YouTube, etc. I think it is a fun yet bizarre little Halloween movie. I hope people enjoy it!

Pumpkinbane update #5

Way deep in the pits of Hell editing Pumpkinbane as this beast of a short film slowly comes together. Post-production is probably about 60% done and it's looking really good but definitely strange! A.J. Sealy has started on the score and we also have an FX artist working on something to add into one of the shots. Very exciting to see it come together but it takes so much patience and a very critical eye. Can't wait to see it at 100%. Anyway, we still do not have a release date but hopefully we'll choose one soon as the new year approaches. If you'd like to read more about the making of Pumpkinbane and how we make our next-to-no-budget films, check out this interview I did recently for Reader's Voice.
