Fearmakers Scares Us... and Teaches Us?

A friend, who ironically worked on Fearmakers' first feature Death4Told, is now a web designer. He recently told me about a class he took and particularly about a book he had to get for that class. The book was Motion Graphic Design: Applied History and Aesthetics by Jon Krasner. In the companion DVD there was something interesting, the opening titles were there as examples of professional work in motion graphic design. Pretty cool that the work appearing in the film was being used to teach others. Steelcoast Creative, the designers of the opening title sequence, did a tremendous job and have been working on our projects ever since. In fact they've worked on EVERY project ever since including our sub-division Strange Stuff.

So if you're thinking about going into graphic design or web design or filmmaking, you could learn a thing or two from a Fearmakers movie. But when the instructor asks you to buy the book just nod politely and say, "thanks, but I'll just get the movie instead." We'll appreciate that you did.

Bo Buckley Interviews With The Independent Corner

Ever wonder what goes into the thought process behind a Fearmakers' film? Okay, so maybe "thought process" is used a little loosely, BUT, there are decisions to be made and pieces that have to be put in place when a movie is made. Check out the interview Bo Buckley did with Jonathan Moody at The Independent Corner and find out where it all started, how the movies came to be and where it's going.

To Premiere Or Not To Premiere?

That's not really the question. The question is where to premiere. We've been invited back to Horrorfind Weekend by our friends there. It's a great place and a lot of supporters will be there again this year. The problem is they changed venues and the screening room is much smaller now. Last year we premiered Dismal there to a crowd between 4 and 5 hundred screaming, obnoxious, filthy, wonderful horror fans, and we still had room for more. This year the screening room holds less than 150. They offer an outdoor screening as well, but we'll be up against the Horrorfind favorite costume contest and Mother Nature. Both will probably whip our ass.

As you can see, immediately after last year's screening we were slammed with fans asking actors for their autographs. It was a good moment in Fearmakers history. Our goal is to repeat that performance with Savage.

We are looking in to other options as well. Other venues, bringing in some of the celebrity cast members from Savage, anything to pump up the fan interest and hopefully draw a few away from the costume contest, should we go back to Horrorfind. The gang is great there. They treat us right and Margot Kidder will be a celebrity guest as well. Don't act like you don't remember her from her big break in Death4Told. I'm sure she'll be THRILLED to see us show up and shove D4T DVDs in her face all weekend. Meez have a feeling security will be issuing a 500 ft. rule against us that weekend.

We will keep you posted as soon as we make our selection. Feel free to offer suggestions.

From the Way Back Machine...

I stumbled across this image today of Bo walking onto the Death4Told set while Tom Savini and Margot Kidder were rehearsing. He looks like he's on a mission of destruction.

This picture is was taken on July 11, 2003. Bo must have made a pact with the devil because he still looks the same. Non-aging bastid!

The director, Mike Close, is pictured in the ball cap.
