The selection process continues and believe it or not we have just one film waiting for either selection or critique. I hope the selection committee likes it. After one hundred or so critiques I'm pretty worn out. Now there's another way to get into a festival.....because the film was sooooo bad, the director didn't feel like writing a critique (lol).
Sorry, I digressed. We've also selected our opening night (September 4th) features. DEADLAND (8:00 pm) and SCARE ZONE (9:00 pm) have received the honors. Both are Florida premiers and pending approval from another festival SCARE ZONE could be a World Premier. DEADLAND is an 'end of the world,' piece about a man in search of his wife, in the ruins of America, after World War III. Los Angeles film maker, Gary Weeks does an excellent job as the husband but most of us will recognize William Katt from "Greatest American Hero."
SCARE ZONE is a fun film made by Orlando filmmakers (Jon Binkowsky/Writer-Director and Ben Kupfer/Producer). It was shot over on the Universal Studios, Florida lot, utilizing the Halloween Horror Nights set and employed a cast and crew of local talent. SCARE ZONE is about a Halloween Haunted Mansion gone array. As a maker of horror product, I thought the production value on SCARE ZONE was above average and even the moderate of horror fans will be impressed with the film.
In honor of the two films the Central Florida Film Festival (September 4-6, 2009) is throwing a "Monster Bash" party, with food, drink and music from 5:30 pm until 8:30 pm, before the screening. Festival tickets are on sale NOW at http://www.centralfloridafilmfestival.com/. A daily film pass is twenty dollars ($20) and is good for all festival films all day. There is a limited supply and tickets are offered on a first come first served basis.
...and cut!
