Not Being In The Mood To Kill People .....
Note : A vacation doesn't mean I stop working completely it simply means I don't work as much because my kids were home on winter break .
The reason I want to have 100% of my focus on Sins of Man II : Vengeance is because it's going to be a more involved story then Rise of Mortis was and my main focus will be on directing and not on makeup FX or acting.
Originally I was supposed to have a small cameo role in Rise of Mortis and due to things beyond our control things changed and I ended up playing a much larger role in the movie, which I'm thankful for looking back on it now, when it was all happening I was overwhelmed but it all worked out well .
Being A Better Film Maker With Every Movie I Complete .....
Note : Chris is my cameraman, editor, right hand man, hes the guy that keeps me sane on set and makes sure I don't get to off course (which is a very good thing)
This is one of the things that makes our productions team so unique and interesting because we are covering our bases and while trying very hard to give the die hard fans of horror what they want and expect from a slasher movie we are also trying to create new fans by shooting the movie in a way that creates interest from novice fans.
Working On Other Genres In The Future ......
I have written about wanting to write a superhero type movie but the issue I have with this is that I think comic fans are another genre that are very hard to please and not being a die hard comic fan I might run iinto alot of issues with fans, will that stop me no, the issue that concerns me more then any other is coming up with a Hero and bad guy that don't get too close to any established Marvel or DC characters which even the novice comic movie fan will tell you is a very difficult task to handle.
I know I would want a hero in the thought process of Oliver Queen, Bruce Wayne or Tony Stark no superpowers but well trained with the heart to do good in the world. and my bad gy would be some one of equal value to make them an even match.
I often think I would be good at writing more then horror because I'm such a creative person and I don't want to limit myself or my skills to a single genre of film because I have so much to offer the world of film .
Note : I now I will probably lose alot of fans for liking and / or writing "chick flicks" but I have a good mind for it and enjoy doing it plus it helps me grow as a writer and artist .
Should I Work On Other Writers Movies ??
Never say never in the world of film making if a cool script comes along and someone wants to work together to make some movie magic I will listen to them and if it's a movie I feel I could pull off well I will take the job I feel that you should never close a door you just might have to walk back through down the road..
Note : I have had talks with a few authors to take their books and possibly make them in to feature length films so we'll see what the future holds for outside work in connection with Wicked Carnival Productions .
Stay Hungry, Stay Humble my friends :)
