A long time ago... on a porch far far away... I started making my first short. While it was nothing fancy and some could say it was a total piece of shit. It was mine! A fully created, totally original work. This is what happens when you surround yourself with people who say, why the hell not to your crazy ideas. I have a lot of gratitude that I need to give to Danielle Page for that.
It's been almost two years and I feel like I've been tested again and again but I'm still standing. I've made two features, several shorts and worked on multiple things that will never see the light of day: take it from me, you can only rely on yourself when it comes to this industry. I don't mean that to sound bitter, I have my team and I'd trust them to the ends of the earth and to the very depths of hell, but even our short time we have found some low down scoundrels.
You move on and you get better. Hell, if you act professional and graceful enough, you'll even start to garner attention from fans and peers. This has to be the most surreal part about continuing to make movies. I've had people who have heard of me now. I still make shitty movies, but they are a fraction better each time. I still drink to much but now its more for fun then stress. Its not even been two years and I can't fathom how far we have come.
Room for Rent had a terrific first showing back in October. People laughed and people screamed and I got my first real taste of scaring people. It was fantastic! Since then, I've had a ton of reviews (most of which are glowing) and a hell of a lot of buzz building up. The movie is taking on a life of its own! I have become Dr. Frankenstein.
And we are still team Buck Short! Still the same band members and still the same set list but we are growing. This year I'll be joining Nathan Hamilton on the Indie Filmmaker Panel at Days of the Dead: Atlanta to talk the craft with some of the best and brightest on the scene. I'm also planning a super secret screening with passwords and shit while at the con... its going to be insane.
Danielle Page has been working hard directing her first flick... she's going to replace me real soon if she keeps this up. Her first film is better than anything I can do now, she's only going to get better. She's also tearing up the scene acting more and more. Mark my words, everyone will know her name.
We have a lot of appearances coming up this year. Some local, some very far away but we will not stop pushing our little slice of hell onto everyone. In between the cons and film festivals, we will be working on one feature film and one short... that may or may not end up as a feature as well. The ball is rolling and I'm just along for the ride.
There is so much I want to announce to you guys... but unfortunately, you're gonna have to keep hanging around until the time is right.
I'll keep ya entertained until then!
