As we approach June...

Tomorrow is June 1, 2010, the month where production of "Blaming George Romero" begins. And in honor of that, I want to take a moment away from the pimping of the indiegogo donation site, facebook page, blog, etc to say a very heartfelt thank you to all of those who have either donated to my film and/or expressed interest in it, even if the interest is limited to simply liking the facebook page... or taking a look at the photos we posted. Whatever.

The truth of the matter is, even without such amazing support I would be doing this. Because I believe in the project... and because I believe in the people I am working with. BUT. I am not doing it without support. You all have been amazing so far. And for you, I promise that no matter what may happen with the movie vis a vis film festivals, or anything like that... I am going to make a great movie. I am going to create a movie that you will enjoy, laugh at, and hopefully think about long after you watch it. And I am going to do that, because I am going to create a movie that I will enjoy... laugh at... and undoubtedly think about long after it is done. And through your support, you will be a part of this film... you will be in between the frames and in every moment of it.

To that end, even though I have done so in the past, I would like to thank those who have generously donated what they can to help make this project as good as I know it can be. So, in absolutely no particular order, thank you: Tinea Plummer, Patrick Strange, Andrew & Charlene Platizky, Betty Kemp Lise, Candice Fair, Mary Joyce Kemp, Catrina Ayala, Christopher Korek, Jill Bilics, Arielle Brettler, Casey Okamoto, Isaac Platizky, Diana Plesniarski, Roger Platizky, Jennifer Rueda, Howard Singer, Luisa Gomez, Anthony Fazio, Mike Cuttruff, Wayne Crawford, Blake Zawadzki, and several anonymous donors.

I would also like to thank John Trigonis for his support, and the knowledge he has shared with me. His film also has a facebook page: http://www.facebook.com/CeriseMovie, which you should check out if you get the chance. (I said I wouldn't pimp MY page ;))

And thanks again to those of you who follow our updates, and are interested in the project, and who may even occassionally think about donating a few bucks to the cause. I promise you, if you do you won't regret it.

Like they said, "I get by with a little help from my friends..." So, from the bottom of my heart... THANK YOU.

Stay tuned!

Behind the Scenes of the "Blaming George Romero" Photo Shoot

Happy Memorial Day Weekend, everyone! As a special treat to all you lovely people, I am going to share with you a behind the scenes video of the "Blaming George Romero" photo shoot. Keep in mind that this video was filmed on a friend's HD Flip. We will not be using an HD Flip to shoot the actual movie. =)

Enjoy!

One Sheet Post...

Dear Friends, Fans, & Followers,

I am going to keep this one short, as I am just recovering from a routine surgery to repair a deviated septum and sinuses.

As of yesterday, the "What Would Bruce Campbell Do?" bracelets are in! I am wearing mine, and I love it. If you've donated $25 or more, yours will be shipped soon. If you haven't donated, but want a bracelet, please go to our indiegogo page and donate now.

Below are the one sheet posters for "Blaming George Romero" designed by Brad Resnick. They feature the four leads of the movie.

Enjoy!

Yours,

Sam

“Blaming George Romero” Two Weeks Later

Two weeks ago today, we began our fund raising and online campaign for “Blaming George Romero.”

Today, we are at $1,000 on Indiegogo.com. So, thank you very much to everyone who has already contributed. It is because of you, that we are going to be able to do this. To people who haven’t donated, for whatever reason, even the smallest amount will help us in our endeavors. If you’re still not convinced, stay tuned over the next few weeks. And whether you donated or not, please continue (or start) to help us spread the word. Suggest our facebook page to your friends. Email friends and family the links to our indiegogo page and our website. This is a grassroots campaign, and we are counting on you for help in spreading the word as much as we are counting on you for donations.

In other news, I would like to introduce you to the Official "Blaming George Romero" blog today: http://blameromero0.blogspot.com Check us out as we update throughout pre-production, production, and post-production. Today on the blog, and soon in our albums on facebook, you can see some of the promotional photos we took last week. I think they came out really good. Take a look and feel free to comment on the pictures. Which ones do you think should be the 8X10 that we are giving out? Which should be on the tee shirt? We are asking you, the fans, to let us know what you think!

On Tuesday, we will reveal some teaser one sheet posters of the main characters. I have seen the rough cuts of these, and I think that they’re pretty fantastic.

Shortly after that, we will be putting up our official movie poster. Brad Resnick is the man behind the scenes on all of this stuff, and he is really knocking it out of the park. I think you’ll all be pleased. I know I am.

The “What Would Bruce Campbell Do?” Bracelets are due to come in tomorrow (Monday, May 24th) and I, for one, am really excited to get one. Everyone who is set to get one will receive theirs shortly thereafter. If you haven’t already donated $25+, and want one of these, donate as soon as you can. The initial batch order is limited. We will order more, but it will take awhile to receive them. If you want one soon, make sure to donate soon.

In the days and weeks to come, we will have more exciting announcements, pictures, and videos.

Stay tuned.
