[Guerrilla Productions]: Summer 2004 report!
Greetings, Dreamers!
Welcome to the irregular newsletter
from Guerrilla Productions. Sorry about
this one in particular being two months after the last one. I try
to keep
'em monthly, but it's been a busy and odd two months.
The vast majority from the last newsletter
requested the contents of the
newsletter to be included, rather than just a link. So, this is the
result.

What's the news, what's the news:
"Innsmouth Legacy"
http://www.petting-zoo.org/Movies_Innsmouth.html
Two shoots down, one to go! Innsmouth Legacy is fast becoming our
most
interesting project! It's used more cast and extras than we've ever
had.
More props and locations, too! And the performances we're seeing from
the
actors and the crew is just phenomenal! This movie is going to be
awesome,
and there ain't no two ways about that!
Our third shoot is less than a week
away and after that - it's all a matter
of editing!
"The Dream-Quest of Unknown
Kadath"
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0384057/
http://www.petting-zoo.org/Movies_Dreamquest.html
Sales are very brisk indeed! We are down to about 85 copies left of
the initial print run of 1000. Once all the checks from this last
order come in and clear, then, six months after completion, "The
Dream-Quest of Unknown Kadath" will have paid for all of
its capital costs. This is fabulous news!
But wait - there's more!
Guerrilla Productions is proud as
punch to have "The Dream-Quest of Unknown
Kadath" chosen by Lurker Films (http://www.lurkerfilms.com/)
as part of their "H. P. Lovecraft Collection." The
new DVD will feature fully remastered audio, plus even more bonus
features than the preliminary print enjoyed. I think Andrew's planning
on putting several other shorts on the DVD, plus a couple of other
interesting things. It's going to be a very attractive package and
I'm pretty sure he plans on debuting the Collection at October's H.
P. Lovecraft Film Festival. We'll keep you posted on that one, because
this collection (not just our movie, but the others) looks really,
really great!
"ReCreation"
http://www.petting-zoo.org/Movies_ReCreation.html
There's not much on this movie yet, because we just started it. The
script
and storyboards are completed. This afternoon, I met with the other
two
filmmakers and started plotting our nefariousness. And you get to
benefit!
"ReCreation" is a
short-lived battle of wills between two men, each
suffering the same loss in their own way. Seems ordinary enough, right?
Ah, of course it contains a peculiar supernatural component - I'd
hate to
disappoint you!
Chances are, the next time you hear
about it, it'll all be done. In case
you're in the PDX area and are a mid-30's to 40's male and interested
in
auditioning for it, just drop me an e-mail.
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
