THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: Demon Makeup
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2011/02/demon-makeup.html
Friday, February 4, 2011. In a martial arts film, you damn well better have a great fight choreographer. In a horror film, it's all about the makeup. There's nothing worse than finally revealing what your creature looks like and then realizing it's downright laughable. Then Night butchers his entire movie with that retarded CGI alien at the end of the film. Downright laughable. Totally took you out of the whole finale. Makeup, can make or break a horror film. This includes blood spilling out of heads...

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: Dreams, etc.
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2010/10/dreams-etc.html
Thursday, October 28, 2010. Dreams are often most profound when they seem the most crazy.” - Sigmund Freud. Met with an actor this week to discuss "The Devil's Forest." What I learned most from it was this.finish editing the script! As helpful as it was to talk about the script, it's a lot better when it's not a one sided conversation. The entire time we sat there, I only wished he had already read the script. Hopefully, I sparked an interest in the stories I told him. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: Casting
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2011/02/casting.html
Thursday, February 24, 2011. This is the part where I contact my casting director and tell her to find me some A-List celebrities to make my movie great. Insert Picture of Great Actor Below:. Oh wait, that costs money. Let's see how this really works. For a low budget project like this, you have to find creative ways to get good actors. After exhausting all your connections, and butchering all friendships by forcing people to be in your movie (you know who you are), you go to the glorious internet. Props...

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: A Successful Day
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2011/02/successful-day.html
Friday, February 11, 2011. Overall, it was a successful day. I finished the next draft of the script and sent it out to some more of my readers. On the business side of things, I've begun the opening paperwork to create an LLC for the film. Will start the paperwork for SAG on Monday. They have a very old fax machine that all the new film submissions go to. They have not updated into the 21st century yet. You can't scan and email forms to SAG. You still have to fax. Easy to work with? Children of the Corn.

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: The Madrid Macabre
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2010/11/madrid-macabre.html
Monday, November 8, 2010. Thought you all would enjoy a nice little story from Madrid. Amidst the crowded streets of downtown, my friends and I tried to navigate through the busy pedestrian traffic, heading towards the Plaza Mayor. Many people looked, but I was the only one who took a picture. Afterwards, I started walking down the alley and I felt like people were looking at me and I couldn't understand why. A few steps more, and then I was convinced, everyone WAS staring at me. View my complete profile.

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: Actors Everywhere
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2011/02/actors-everywhere.html
Friday, February 25, 2011. Got over 100 actors submissions since my casting breakdown got approved by one of the websites in only 12 hours. Hoping to get more submissions for the lead role. But that one is going to be more difficult because she has to be Latina and speak Spanish. That narrows the acting pool way down. Will start officially auditioning actors next week. March 1, 2011 at 4:12 AM. Whats the set up like for auditions? Who are the decision makers involved? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: I'm Back
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2011/01/im-back.html
Tuesday, January 25, 2011. Sometimes I find myself wondering, "Am I really going to make this movie? I've been away from the blogging for quite some time now, and have received numerous complaints from people. Let me close this post with a scene from The Shining. I know all writer's have felt like this at some time or another. Jack Nicholson is our voice, for now and forever. January 28, 2011 at 1:51 PM. Best of luck, Shaun!

THE DEVIL'S PLAYPEN: Ready for Readers
http://thedevilsforest.blogspot.com/2010/11/ready-for-readers.html
Tuesday, November 9, 2010. I’m all about blessings in disguise. It’s been pure Hell trying to get to Madrid, Spain. From trying to close up loose ends on the job front to getting delayed four hours at Washington/Dulles International Airport, things were getting tough. Not as tough as William Shatner's plane moment though. Time for a little quiet, reading. Erik Larson’s “ Devil in the White City. This was written on the plane, somewhere over the Atlantic Ocean. Luckily, no Gremlins. Devil in the White City.
