The idea came in the Winter of 2006. I felt creative as hell, and decided film making would be a cool idea, even though I didn't own a video camera.
I was watching a lot of Horror films, especially zombie movies: Night, Dawn, Day of the Dead - Italian Directors, Lucio Fulci and Dario Argento became house hold names. Both of their styles were unique as far as how they approached story telling. Blood, gore, violence, and style…
/// I remember there was a time I couldn't watch these films. ///
Dead Flick came as an unconscious, experimental project. The original animated short took a couple of days to finish. I bought a digital voice recorder and went nuts with it.
Method Acting:
No script.. On the spot, situation acting. Acting? To me, it barely seems like it. That's what happens with multiple viewings of the Blair Witch project - I became fascinated, as well as conditioned in this form of expression.
After the first short film, I tried to continue and further the idea, but became side-tracked and decided to shelve it. Now, it's back. I cannot say where it's going from here, for fear of giving away too much. The first 6 minute film is finished.
I dedicate this film to George A. Romero. His films continue to inspire me. Hopefully I'll get a chance to meet him soon.
I would like to thank my friend Tommy Lombardozzi for allowing me to use his really cool song, "DRIVEL" in this film. His style of music fit perfectly into what I wanted to achieve, without much effort on my part.. Which was nice for a change considering how perfectionistic (neurotic) I can be.
