March 18: [Guerrilla
Productions] In like a lion!
Greetings, Dreamers!
Welcome to the irregular newsletter
from Guerrilla Productions.
What's the news, what's the news:
"Innsmouth Legacy"
http://www.petting-zoo.org/Movies_Innsmouth.html
We have more news on this exciting production. We've nailed down several
of the locations -- interiors, exteriors, and even some very spooky
beach space. We're still looking for wedding chapels and such, particularly
creepy looking ones! I'll be updating that page soon with additional
needs, so stay tuned! This movie is really turning into a very cool
project. I think you'll all be quite pleased!
"The Testament of Tom Jacoby"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0400881/
http://www.petting-zoo.org/Movies_Testament.html
As many of you know, this is our spooky little movie we did right
before "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath".. Happily,
it's now represented on the Internet Movie Database. So, if you've
seen it and you want to comment on it or vote for it, by all means,
feel free to. If you HAVEN'T seen it, it's a freebie on the Dream-Quest
DVD. In other news, we've just received word that the Longbaugh Film
Festival has accepted "The Testament of Tom Jacoby"
for their show in April. Woo-hoo! So, those of you in the Portland
area April 2, 3, and 4, check it out!

"The Dream-Quest of Unknown
Kadath"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384057/
http://www.petting-zoo.org/Movies_Dreamquest.html
This is still selling, and we have news. Diamond Comics has accepted
"The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" to appear in
their April issue of solicitations. It'll be noted as a Spotlight
Item, which will bring it a little more attention. This is very exciting
for us because it's entirely possible that this single order could
wipe out our stock of the autograph edition. This would be v-e-r-y
good! So, if you or someone over whom you have financial influence
is a comic book fan, be sure to tell your shop you
want to nab a copy when the solicitation comes out in April. Oh, and
we're selling more Collector's Packs on ebay. Check out the current
offering at

I'd like to point out that on the IMDB discussion boards, someone
posted a very happy thing about this movie and although I thanked
them, I wanted to pass that on to everybody who helped with it, who
volunteered time, effort, money, supplies and oodles of love to help
that movie happen. When people are this happy about the movie, it's
all 'cause of YOU guys! Thank you! (when they're unhappy about it,
it's my fault)
Bonus Shorts!
In the very near future, we're going to be shooting a collection of
very, very short movies, based on a collection of stories from my
own Carnival of Tiny Stories:
http://www.petting-zoo.org/TinyStories.html
If you're in the Portland area, this is a great and fun thing to join
in on, if you feel like playing along with us. Each of the movies
is going to be a one-evening shoot, or one-afternoon shoot. We need
people to do all sorts of things, from holding lights to acting, to
monitoring sound, to being gophers, to digging holes, to doing makeup
and costuming... everything! Anyone who helps with any particular
movie receives screen credit and a copy of the movie when it's done.
Write to us if you want to be in on this series!
Wanted: camera
We've lost one of our camcorders and it happens that we're left with
only a VHS camera. So if anyone out there has a digital camera of
any sort that we could have or trade for, please drop me a line!
Looking for books and other difficult-to-find
items? May I recommend Gavin's store: Gavinicuss Books. Gavin's
been a firm
supporter of "The Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath"
from early on and he deserves serious props for that. Gavin's a specialist
at finding what he doesn't already stock. Go ahead -- if you're looking
for an obscure book or three, try him first!

Okay, enough news, I gotta get back
to doing Unspeakable Things.
Have fun, dream vividly, and wake
up wondering if you're still asleep!
Cheers,
Edward
