Some really interesting news coming in today from After Dark Films/Massify. They’re bringing us, get ready for it.. the first feature film developed entirely via the internet.
Are you asking yourself what the hell am I talking about? Your not alone! If you head over to massify.com you can join the community and throw your hat into the ring. Yeah, ADF/Massify are looking for anyone and everyone with good ideas. They’re open to anything! If you think you’ve got an idea that will take the horror community by storm, head on over and see if your right.
Straight from the press release:
One filmmaker will be a producer on the movie, and four actors will have the chance to work on a feature film. Aspiring filmmakers will have the opportunity to create a range of content along the way, including pitching ideas, auditioning for roles and creating ancillary materials, like a movie poster or song. The initiative will have a series of laddered rounds. The first, the “pitch phase,” will seek out the best new horror ideas, narrowing them down to one, which the script will be based on. This will mark the beginning of the casting round, in which both aspiring and professional actors are invited to upload audition videos to play the four major roles in the feature film. The community will then vote and elect ten male and ten female semifinalists to fly to Los Angeles for screen tests. Once the idea and the cast are chosen, the movie will move into production – all of which will be documented reality-TV style on massify.com. As the film nears completion, the Massify community will pitch marketing ideas that will be used as keyart during the release of the films well and will have the opportunity to score music to completed scenes.
It’s being called GHOSTS IN THE MACHINE and will be part of After Dark’s 8 Films to Die For 2008. This sounds like it can be big. To find out a lot more, head on over to massify.com now.
If I was producer, my first act would be to cast her.
