Horror Anthology Project

This summer, we will be embarking on our most ambitious project, a horror anthology feature called BOUQUET OF SHADOWS. That's why I've been posting lots of creepy stuff on the blog lately, because I'm trying to get into the mood as much as possible...

We'll have more details for you soon, but for now I can tell you, generally, that the feature will be comprised of three longer shorts, and one shorter one (which will act like the wrap-around to get us from one story to the next). This time, we have brought in some new faces to help with the writing, and the screenplays are really shaping up...

I am huge fan of good horror films and stories, and speaking as an uber-geek, can't help but notice that 95% of the stuff produced in the genre is pretty bad. I'm not gonna knock anybody who makes a movie, because it's tons of work, but I do think that sometimes folks get too carried away with the visuals and don't spend enough time on character and story. That's certainly been something I've done (don't tell anybody, okay?). Many of my favorite filmmakers, musicians and writers say the same thing:

Make stuff that you, yourself, would want to check out as a fan.

Pretty simple, huh? That's our guiding principle on BOUQUET OF SHADOWS-- to make all decisions based on what we'd most like to see, and the stories we most want to experience. It'll be interesting to see, in a year or so, if it worked!

Look for more details in the next few weeks, as we begin the pre-production process on the first short: "Door to Door". Mwa-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha-ha!
