POSSIBILITIES…

 

 

ECCENTRIC CARE

Odd, humorous and touching short movie about patients in psyche ward

Cast of Five

One location – play like shoot

Easy to shoot, script written

VERDICT: I would like to make this sometime, on the shelf

COMPLETION RATING: ***

 

THE STALIGNITES

Punchy short art film

Script written

Music required

Cast of about five

VERDICT: It would be an enjoyable shoot! On Shelf for sometime in the next few years

COMPLETION RATING: ***

 

THE GOSPEL OF GOD

Improvisation, mocking early morning controversial television evangelists

Can be done / a version has already been made… but just not good enough!

VERDICT: Next year – may be?

COMPLETION RATING: ***

 

REFLECTIONS OF HELL

Top class short science fiction story already written

Cast of three

Set construction required.

Location problems – Convenience Store

VERDICT: Love to do this one, need time and money… you got some?

COMPLETION RATING: **1/2

 

RETURN TO THE DEAD OUTSIDE

This idea has been bantered about in a number of conversations with my friends…

A script was attempted. Heaps of gun scenes

Verdict: Too ambitious.

COMPLETION RATING: **

 

JOIN US! THE CRAMDEN ESTATE

Teen fantasy / horror short

Teen cast required

Script written

VERDICT: Producer and Director needed, too much for me too handle.

COMPLETION RATING: **

 

IT TOOK THE PISS OUT OF ME

Great Gag film

Cast of 4 leads and at least 4 extras, Car drivers.

VERDICT: Need Director and Producer, it’s too ambitious for me to do.

COMPLETION RATING: *1/2

 

THIRSTY: SOUTH OF THE HEMISPHERE

Western parody

Original concept, only a couple of pages written, but I know what’s got to happen in it

Cast of Six (Male blonde lead, four dark haired guys and a Chinese or Aboriginal male)

VERDICT: Lack of interest and trouble explaining to people why it will be funny has put the breaks on this one.

COMPLETION RATING: *1/2

 

GETTING A JOB COULD KILL YOU

Slapstick Comedy with a twist

Cast of three males

Script written

Taxi, bus, train station and hospital scenes

VERDICT: I don’t think I want to take the reigns on this one. Budget restrictions / Hard shoot.

Do you want the SCRIPT? $5 US

I’ll act in it… if shot in Sydney.

COMPLETION RATING: *1/2 if I want to do it.

 

CHANGING COLOURS

Science fiction short

Great idea

Various locations: Cars, interior of passenger plane, set construction

Realistic Special effects – model plane crashing / model cars crashing / CGI of satellite orbiting earth

Depiction of Hell

Devils costume

2 Male lead characters required

VERDICT: BUDGET BLOWOUT (needs $40000), I wish I had the money… Won’t let no-one else do it!

COMPLETION RATING: * - I can dream about it.

 

CHILD ZOMBIES: THE DAY CARE MASSACRE

This is an idea I came up with on the train one day.

I thought it would be an easy shoot.

All it would involve was organizing a face painting day at the local day care centre,

Get the kids to paint their faces green and blue…

Then take as much footage possible, example; kids running up and grabbing hold parents, carers.

All the real work would be done in post production; editing, adding narration.

Verdict: Very hard to get authorization and permission from parents. Concerns for Children’s Safety

COMPLETION RATING: *

 

THE DEFORMITY

Teen horror

Cast of at least six

Story written

VERDICT: Funds needed (about $1000) possibly too violent / offensive

COMPLETION RATING: *

 

COPULATION BRIGADE

Adult film noir science fiction short

Written

Sex scenes

Cast of five or six

VERDICT: Written because I thought someone was interested in the script, needs budget of at least $7500 and Director and Cast

COMPLETION RATING: Nearly no chance. Have you got the money and contacts?

 

SUBURBAN PYSCHO II: THE HIGH SCHOOL MASSACRE

Axed when I realized plot line too offensive and unpopular

COMPLETION RATION: nil
