Last year I was able to catch up with Gabriel, filmsmith and all around cool guy who was developing Tex: Vampire Hunter (or) Make Thick My Blood: A Tragedy in One Act. The film had a bunch of stuff going for it right from the outset. Vampires. Cowboys. Jen Page. Blood and gore. All the good stuff.

Previously I wrote a bit about a new short coming our way soon. Tex: Vampire Hunter or Make Thick My Blood: A Tragedy in One Act.

Now it's a full fledged, hand-carved wooden bullet vampire slay fest.

Our favorite actress here at TC is currently filming another independent film. This time it’s a monster movie with some twists that goes by the name of TARA.

This looks amazing for several reasons. It's a SciFi film which is always a good start. It's also a home-grown, independent film driven mostly by volunteers. Even more impressive, there are about 500 visual effects shots, composed via Blender and done by 3D artists around the world.

If you've seen The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, you know who Luster is. If you don't know who Luster is, go watch the film. Jen Page (Luster in G:DR) is the multi-talented woman who plays the female Luster in the the flick. She's also something of a geek, gamer and SF/F afficionado as well as wrangling web pages for Wizards of the Coast and being cool enough to willingly submit to an interview with me.
