Project London and modern SciFi – rethinking movies from the ground up

What to do when you have an idea for a SciFi blockbuster with plenty of special effects, talented actors and a script in hand but you just can't get the funding together? If you're the folks at Spiral Productions you politely give the finger to thoughts of funding and script shopping then you go out and make your live action effects laden SciFi blockbuster. If that's not impressive enough, the film looks good and this is coming from a SciFi movie aficionado. Project London is an epic film with huge budget worthy special effects, and plenty of them, created by volunteers on the web and resulting in an actual, watchable, movie.

Tex: Vampire Hunter to screen at Beloit International Film Festival in Wisconsin

How to create a vampire short film – Tex: Vampire Hunter, the interviews

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. I caught up with Gabriel, the man responsible for the movie and had a chance to talk briefly about this freaking awesome vampire western. Gabriel started his project through the Seattle Film Institute but it seems to have taking on a life of it's own and grown a bit bigger than a final project. Now it's a full fledged, hand-carved wooden bullet vampire slay fest.

TARA is a girl meets boy, boy is an ass, boy goes missing, pools of blood found, beast on the prowl movie.

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. I had a chance to speak with Ace, one of the folks responsible and I got some details of the film. Pre-production (which took 7 months) is over and as of April they’ve been filming. They’re roughly half way through shooting so this post may qualify as the first bit of extra info out in the ether.

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.

Jen Page is a chaotic-neutral gamer, actress, geek and our latest interview subject

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.
