the rental movie

I recently screened the rental movie brought to you by three roses entertainment. Directed by Todd Johnson. the film starts out with Devlin Chido played by mike Campell stalking a girl name Becky. eventually he eats her soul. soon after four woman Lily- Katherine Browning, Pam- Leah Verrril, Lori-Ashley Love, Biannca- Tiffany Walker move in .The girls think Devlin is kinda creepy and one night find out his name Chido means soul eater. They also find out he gets his strength from eating the souls of  evil woman. that the death of the innocence renders him powerless.  light temporarily blinds him. will the woman survive this ordeal or get their souls eaten? the film was shot on the red which is a great camera, but horrible in low light. which means the scenes need to be well lit. i found some of the scenes weren't lit well making it look very flat and grainy.The resolution shouldve been popping out. Other than that the makeup looked good,acting was good and overall a very nice film to watch. i give it 6 out of ten stars.checkout out the rental at www.facebook.com/the rental movie. I dont want to give to much away since it would be a spoiler. i do reccomend checking this film out. It's defintely worth watching!

Taxidermy

Taxidermy is a short film by plastic age productions I recently screened. The film starts Out with the two main characters andy played by Matthew rolling and Josie played by Tina Renee grace, having an argument. Andy leaves the overwhelmed and lost Josie. Andy drives off and calls the girl he is seeing. Only to find out she has someone at her house, and no real interest in Andy. Andy with his tail tucked between his legs, goes back to Josie. Andy begs for forgiveness and all seems well in the world. Time passes and Andy goes home one day after work to see a fine dinner,loyal and happy girlfriend. Followed by dessert. Josie says she has one big final surprise for Andy. Josie takes Andy into the bathroom and Andy goes to the shower. Behind the curtains is Beth played by Jolene Aldus lying dead in the bathtub. Josie tells Andy that he can have Beth who is stuffed now and have her without fear of Andy leaving. Taxidermy has a nice twist at the end. It is a well done short, that's straight to the point. Taxidermy was shot on a hmc-150, directed and cinematography by Travis Legge. I give it 8 out of 10 stars.

Confliction

I recently viewed confliction brought to you by Flopitworks. The film starts out with a cool animated logo that gives a film/street art vibe. Right after it hits hard with raw run and gun style shooting. You see the victim on a rooftop tied down and in panic mode, played by Aimee Louisanne. Soon after it's the confrontation with the suspect played by JJ Condon who is handcuffed and being interrogated by the lead detective played by Jordane Christie. The acting was spot on as the two went back in forth in a cat and mouse game trying to figure out each others moves. Throughout the ordeal the two have past issues brought up telling why they are how they are now.  Finally the detective figures out where the girl is. Taken to the rooftop the detective finds the girl just in time. After the detective starts to have the killer taken in only to find out- is there more victims? To find out check out Confliction when it's  released. With some beautiful locations and great shots, this film is well worth watching! Overall the the team at Flopitworks did a wonderful job.  To check these guy's out go to their website www.flopitworks.com and on twitter @flopitworks @shawn-lights
Overall i give it 8 out of ten stars!

         

our days are numbered

Our days are numbered was the first short i did back in 2010 as a director .Our days are numbered starts out with you seeing a surveillance camera recording what seems to be a farm.  It's recording a dirt road where you see a truck coming up the road. The truck seems to have broken down near the house.  Three people are in the truck.  Andy,ken,and casy.  Andy and ken are brothers.  Casy is ken's girlfriend . Andy and the other two get out of the truck . Andy starts explaining what's going on with the outbreak and where they are going.

Andy and the other two decide to keep moving and that's when things start to spiral out of control . Zombies,slo mo bullets, and lots of blood. The short is about nine minutes in all with a cloverfield feel to it .I tried to put in as much action as possible in this short. I used a jvc hd 100 camera  for filming.

These are some of the screen grabs from the film. Overall i thik it came out good. I see things i think could be better now, but for my first it wasn't bad. I  have the trailer up so check it out. For copies go to www.wix.com/condemnedproductions/coven , and also subscribe to my youtube at condemnedproduction and rate the trailer.

I give it 7 out of ten starts.

back to the movies interview

i had the pleasure of interviewing a young film fanatic, and so far has accomplished alot.
covenfilm:what made you decide to get into helping people in the film industry?
sean evans:i've always been a big fan of movies ever since i was a child. i feel as thou they've been along with me on a journey through life. i mean i'm only 20 now but through sad times,happy times,joyful times i can always think of a film that either helped towards that feeling or helped a certain situation out. big budget films don't really need much marketing as they market themselves, low budget films are unknown to the majority of the public and they need the most help.this is where i come in,spreading the word,creating videos,marketing trailers and just trying my best to help these guys out.once i'd worked on a lower budget films,i helped with higher budget flicks.they pretty much market themselves but it helped me to get interviews from cast and crew.which all went towards my movie oriented pages both on twitter and youtube. covenfilm: who all have you helped promote their films?
sean evans: i've helped many films so it would take awhile to name the majority.the ones that come to mind are chris witherspoon's film rage,joe raffia's six degrees of hell,ad lanes invasion of the not quite dead and most recently the superb no saints for sinners starring good friend rick crawford.
covenfilm: what is your goal for the future?
sean evans: my goal is to market more low budget films but also more high profile films too as that way there could be a possibility of my marketing being accepted to a film or production company.that would be my main goal,to somehow work in the industry and provide my marketing skills and abilities live on set or live during a production. also to get my youtube and twitter pages as popular as possible.without supporters and fans ,my page and all the effort would be for nothing,and i can't thank each and every person who has supported me thus far.
covenfilm: are you expanding from youtube and twitter?
sean evans:at the moment no. my twitter page has over 10,000 followers,my youtube has around 2,000 subscribers. i dont feel that they are big enough numbers for me to expand.if views and subscribers increase greatly over the next year or 2 then there is an idea i had of making a website for marketing services to the industry,but that's a hope and a prayer away.for now i'm doing it purely because its what i love to do and its in a industry i love and one im passionate about.
covenfilm: where can people find your stuff?
sean evans:my youtube is http//www.youtube.com/user/backtothemoviespage?feature=mhee
