Strangers Within

8/5/2014

0 Comments

 

A home invasion indie horror feature film set in a grand country house in the idyllic East Sussex countryside.

Picture
I like low budget, indie films. This 2050 FILMS project is another example of some young and enthousiastic film makers who, with the right ideas, talent and equipment are very able to create a decent feature film. The "House Invasion" theme of strangers breaking into a house and terrorising the inhabitants is very current (possibly even a little tired at this point). think Panic Room, You're Next, Key Largo and of course Black Christmas.

The Story

Sam and her friends are terrorised during a gathering at her isolated house by three young men after something more than the girls.

Sam, the daughter of world-renowned artist Martha Templeton, invites three friends to join her for the night when she is left home alone. One of the girls brings her boyfriend and his two close friends and it quickly becomes apparent that a much more sinister plan is being hatched as, what starts off as a mysterious teen horror quickly mutates into a tension filled horror heist with unpredictable twists around every corner and climaxes with one message; what goes around comes around.

This Kickstarter project is about a short film to showcase the daring and futuristic world of their planned feature length sci-fi thriller 'I-VOLUTION'.

The Story:

A brilliant but obsessed scientist finds himself on the brink of creating the world’s first artificial intelligence in this provocative and visceral sci-fi/suspense film from Mojo Road Entertainment. In the not too distant future, while creating the EVE Residence--a super computer operated ‘smart home’--Bionetic’s scientist COLIN DARROWAY discovers a way to link himself to the computer in hopes of creating the world’s first human-computer singularity.

My Misirlou (Egyptian girl/woman), your sweet glance
Has lit a flame in my heart.
Ah, ya habibi, ah, ya le-leli, ah (Arabic: Oh, my love, Oh, my night‎)
Your two lips are dripping honey, ah.

Ah, Misirlou, magical, exotic beauty.
Madness will overcome me, I can't endure [this] any more.
Ah, I'll steal you away from the Arab land.

My crazy, black-eyed Misirlou,
My life changes with one kiss
Ah, ya habibi, one little kiss, ah
From your sweet little mouth, ah.

This Kickstarter project had all the promises I wanted to hear and see from an indie filmmaker.  Misirlou the Movie has got it all; Sex, Drugs, Sunshine, Violence, Morality, PTSD and the search for ... what ever... everything. The whole thing is one LSD Trip with some sober moments. You can't help to get endeared by the initial acting, which get slightly better over time.
The main feature here is the 'colour' it is filmed in and the music used.

The music piece called Misirlou is made famous to the 90's generation in Pulp Fiction as performed by Dick Dale.

(Dis)Honesty project

4/16/2014

The truth is, we all lie - and by "we," we mean everyone!
A well functioning society relies on mutual trust. When public trust begins to erode, the regular order can fall apart. This project hopes to encourage greater understanding  for human flaws and suggest ways we can all improve our behavior to strengthen the society we live in.
Picture
I came across this Kickstarter Project when browsing the staff picks. I was intrigued by the subject.

The film “(Dis)Honesty – The Truth About Lies” examines the human tendency to be dishonest, it seems to be a regular part of the world we live in and the news we read. But the truth is that beneath the surface of the scandalous headlines, cheating is not just happening on a newsworthy scale, it’s happening in small ways everywhere. Yael Melamede and Dan Ariely from Salty Feature Productions are to explore this further.
Picture
From ticket-fixing in our police departments to test-score scandals in our schools, from our elected leaders’ extra-marital affairs to financial schemes undermining our economy, dishonesty seems to be a ubiquitous part of the news. But it’s not just true in the headlines – we ALL cheat.

Enemy of Man: An independent feature film of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth

Enemy of Man - 2015
My first venture into a feature film. Not just any film. This is a film with Sean Bean, Rupert Grint, Charles Dance, Neil Maskell, James d'Arcy and Jason Flemyng (et al).  Auditions are still on for Lady McBeth

My investment in this Kickstarter project will earn me the following

"FUNDING PRODUCER" - You are a funding producer! You will have your name appear in the film credits as well as on IMDB.

PictureSean Bean, Rupert Grint, Charles Dance, Jason Flemyng, James D’Arcy, Neil Maskell
Obviously I get the film on DVD and some incredible kudos for being a named IMDB Producer of this film with these actors headlining. - Honestly my bucket list has lost most of its entries.

The Instruments of Darkness proof of concept short film - only for Kickstarter Backers
The Director Vincent Regan is creating a film based on Shakepeare's MacBeth.
However the premise is more on the action than the dialogue. As the dialogue and narrative of Shakespeare's MacBeth is pretty graphical, this translates very well into a feature lenght film. Less talk, more visual action.
"The Enemy of Man will have a unique cinematic quality, stripping back the dialogue and cranking up the action. It traverses a bleak, frozen landscape of shattered castles and pillaged towns, rendering the interior world that clouds Macbeth and Lady Macbeth’s addled minds, as they sink deeper into their heart of darkness. A timeless masterpiece of war, ambition, betrayal, murder and ultimately, revenge."
