Welcome to Hell Trailers

The journey for “Welcome to Hell” has been a long and winding one. I have gone through rounds of casting and crew hunting to finally settle on a bare-bones crew to get some trailers filmed. Needless to say, COVID-19 played a role, as it did for everyone…

After an intense day of filming (1 hour prep / 8 hour filming / 1 hour clean up and sanitization), we have the first two produced instances of the show!

My goal was to use them in a crowdfunding campaign, but it looks like the journey to a full-length pilot may be extended one last time for the following reasons:

  • My cinematographer is moving to Texas!
  • My audio guy already moved to Maine! (I had to run audio as I assistant directed and produced… fun times!)

It looks like we will have to put things on blocks until I can find some crew that is able to do it locally, or I’m able to schedule logistics for a crew and cast residing in four different states (Texas, Maine, Virginia, and Maryland).

Let’s see what happens!

Enter the Zeitgeist

The process is simple.

You scream from the rooftops. I scream from the rooftops. You think it’s an echo, but then it keeps going. You realize it’s me responding to your initial rooftop scream. We find each other. We discuss the story you’re trying to tell at a much more reasonable volume. I research your audience and develop your story in a way that helps you connect with your target audience.

If you aren’t a fan of yelling across vast distances or it’s cold outside, we could try carrier pigeons or smoke signals, but emailing might be easier. Actually, yeah. Let’s just go with that.

Not sure you’re “story” material? That’s ridiculous. You’ve started a business or are helping it grow. There are more sane things to do with your time, trust me. Look at the other crazy people in history. Why do we remember them? Because they made a good story.
