Comic Con Film School is back for year SEVEN! (Wow.)
Me and the crew will be doing our four-day panel in order to teach the geek nation how to make their own movies! The schedule looks like this:
THURS: 10am - 11:30am - Pre-Production FRI: 10am - 11:30am - Production SAT: 10am - 11:30am - Working with Actors and a Crew SUN: 10am - 11am - Post Production
So if you're gonna be at the Con, come on by and say hi!
Valerie Perez (Paula Peril Series,) Michael "Dorkman" Scott (Ryan vs. Dorkman,) and myself on stage at last year's panel.
This was year 2 of the convention, which is basically a big gathering of people who love Vampires. There are Vampire products sold, costume contests, and best of all: Movie Screenings!
Imagine just how goofy the smile on my face was when I found out that they were showing Werner Herzog's 1979 remake of Nosferatu!
The only way I've ever seen this movie was on an old VHS copy, so I HAD to see it projected on a real screen. Film geek aside, the coolest thing about seeing it at this venue was sitting in a theater packed with Vampire fans. It was like watching it with a crowd of myself.
They were even selling Vampire chocolate and Vampire water at the concessions counter!
WIN.
Countess Lotti throws this event each year, and she really does a great job. It's so much fun hanging out with a breed of fan who are familiar with more than just Twilight. Don't get me wrong...I'll be at the theater this weekend to see Eclipse, but there's definitely a difference in the vibe.
I know a lot of people missed this one while it was in the theaters, so I wanted to recommend it as a rental...not just because I worked on it, but because it's a damn fun movie. When I came onto the project (which was toward the end,) the first thing I asked was to see the film. The opening seven minutes were great, I was excited by the end of the first twenty, and when it was all over, I was thrilled to be working on a GOOD movie.
So by all means, rent it, netflix it, iphone it. It's a lot of fun.
My Mom took this of me over Xmas when I was in Omaha. I was excited because it was the first poster I'd seen for the movie in an actual theater. No idea why I look so somber...maybe I was getting psyched up for being snowed into the house for the next 3 days. :)
