Hey DreamStalker Films Fans!

Just a quick update on the 49 ‘Til Midnight project:

Greetings DreamStalker Films fans!  The Phoenix Comicon starts tomorrow night!

Times (for the Exhibitor Hall where the DreamStalker Films table will be located):

Thursday: 6-9pm

Saturday: 10am-7pm

Derek and/or I will be at the DreamStalker Films table T120 for the entire event along with actresses Shannon Griffith and Alanta Noel (and perhaps a few other actors from DreamStalker Films).  We will be showing a DVD Reel with all of the completed DSF projects from “Slayer Wars 1″ through “The Family That Decays Together…” along with some behind the scenes videos and a sneak peak at upcoming films.

As I reported before, we will be selling DreamStalker Films Shorts Vol 1 DVDs, T-Shirts, and Car Decals.  Come by and pick something up and sign up for a mailing list.

Additionally, our newest film will premiere on Friday as part of the Film Festival, so be sure not to miss it for the first time on the big screen!

Friday 1:40 PM – Premiere of “Family That Decays Together…”

After you stop by the DreamStalker Films table be sure to wonder over to table T70 and check out Paleocomics by artist Zach Reddy.  Zach designed and created our website as well as upgrading all of our DreamStalker Films logos from my hand drawn designs to the professional ones we use today.  He’s an incredibly talented artist and will be selling his work.

Be sure to stop by the Probed: Signals table at T113.  Probed: Signals is an AZ created webseries by Joel Cranson.  Be sure to check it out, these are some really talented people, and they too will be selling DVDs (which will be one of my first purchases at this event).

This will be our last post before the event, but be sure to continue to come back as we may be adding posts and pictures while at the Con.  Hope to see you all there!

Hey everyone, as promised on my last post here is a quick year in review for 2009 and a rundown on what’s to come for 2010:

• January  14^th, 2009: “Slayer Wars: Episode LVII: The Vampyre Strikes Back” finally completed after nearly 10 years.  Thanks to Scott Kos, this Uber-Special Edition cut had a brand new original score.

• January 23^rd, 2009:  “Slayer Wars: Episode LVII: The Vampyre Strikes Back: Uber Special Edition” premieres at Phoenix Comicon.  Also, the first teaser trailer for “Slayer Wars 2” (“Slayer Wars: Episode LVIII: Revenge of the Vampyre-Slaying Jedi”) premiered.  This was created with only three and a half days of shooting on “Slayer Wars 2.”

• 27 days of shooting on “Slayer Wars 2” in 2009.  September 11, 2009 was the final night shooting “Slayer Wars 2.”

• September 20, 2009: “Slayer Wars 3” Filming commences.

• October 9^th-11^th : Kick-Off for A3F One Shot 48hr Film Contest, Filming next day, Editing.  The outcome was “Down and Out.”
• October 21^st: Public Screening of One-Shot

• October 24^th – First screening of the first cut of Slayer Wars 2.

• 8 Total days of shooting on Slayer Wars 3 in 2009.

• Dec 12^th-13^th Shooting on “PSA: Don’t Drive & Text”
• Full Completion on PSA Jan 1^st 2010.

2010

• First half of 2010 – “Slayer Wars 2”: Second Trailer.

• January 2010: “Slayer Wars 3” Day 9 and 10.  Slayer Wars 3 production is to be completed over the course of this year.  Judging by the number of pages for the script and how long Slayer Wars 2 took, I expect at least another 25-35 days of shooting, so it will likely be between October and December when we finally wrap.

• February 12-14, 2010: 48 Hour A3F Film Challenge.  We’ll be competing in another 48 hour film competition, let us know if you’ll be available to help this weekend.

• May 27-30, 2010: Phoenix Comicon 2010- DreamStalker Films will have a table for screening all of our films.  We intend to be selling a DreamStalker Films DVD, T-Shirts, and Decals.  We should have some freebies to give away and hopefully some first looks at our films in progress.

Additional goals:

• Completion of “Cubicell.”
• Shooting of a ten minute short film version of “Reunion.”
• Finishing the Look Out For That Snake Productions film, “Schoolyard Ninjas.”  This was a 16mm Film shot many years ago that is in my possession and I’ll be putting it together finally.
• Finishing new saber effects for Out For That Snake Productions film, “Fall of the Sith,” another 16mm shot a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.  I’ll be re-cutting this one and Scott Kos will be putting together a new score for it as well (which will likely be heard in Slayer Wars 2 as well).

After almost ten years since filming began on the original Slayer Wars the film was finally completed early this year with an original score thanks to the awesome work of Scott Kos.  It had it’s first real premiere at January’s Phoenix Comicon to great success.

Finally, the film is available to everyone via the world wide web!  The film did have to be clipped into under ten minute segments to preserve quality (and fulfill YouTube requirements).  So if you’ve never seen it before or missed the premiere and have never seen it with the new score, check it out on the Slayer Wars page.

As we wrap up principle photography on Slayer Wars 2 and begin filming Slayer Wars 3, keep checking back on the site for further information and some upcoming exclusives!
