Hello to all out there in whateverland...
Red Shirt Pictures has taken the next big step in its evolution. Up until now it was a clever name to make me feel a little more important and a way to give myself a business identity of some sort.
Well now it is my business full time. What exactly does that entail? Well, at this point I can't say entirely but look for a full website update in the next week that will update all my crap and also give you a full look into what Red Shirt Pictures will be doing for the forseeable future.
But first, AFTER EFFECTS is due for completion. See the previous blog post for some info on this project. I have to have it done this week and I think I finally licked a crucial editing issue that had been plaguing me for the past two weeks. I'll elaborate on that more once I get the final cut off to the producers for review. It's a fascinating process, and I'm always learning more every day.
Just got back from assisting on a video interview with director George Romero in Toronto for the upcoming DVD release of two early films from his career, SEASON OF THE WITCH and THERE'S ALWAYS VANILLA. George is in the maelstrom right now with his new film LAND OF THE DEAD due to open in several weeks. Reshoots, editing, scoring, prepping for a Cannes Film Festival preview...hell I'm getting tired just writing all that. The fact that he took time out of his schedule, which has had him literally operating 24/7 for weeks now, is a testament to his dedication and overall coolness. The DVD is due to be released in October.
As I mentioned before, Red Shirt Pictures is now my full-time operation. I have been, for the last five years, a proud employee of Anchor Bay Entertainment, one of the leading independent DVD distributors out there for cult, horror and theatrical flicks. A few weeks ago, an opportunity to take the step to be on my own came up and I had to give it a shot. I'm 31 and I figured if I am gonna fall flat on my face, might as well do it now. I'm still working on projects for Anchor Bay as well as discussing opportunities with other companies as well, which is actually kind of exciting. None of this would have been possible without the support and experience I've received from everyone at Anchor Bay...so keep buying the DVDs, even if its the 345th version of EVIL DEAD. ...it'll be worth it anyway!
Well that's enough for now...gotta busy day tomorrow. I will check in later in the week (for the two of you who are reading this blog...if that many.)
Take care!
