...From EVERYWHERE!! Too much Discovery & History channel - too much "EARLY" MTV... ya know, the VIDEO YEARS! A long term relationship that I probably destroyed, a short term relationship that fkd’ me up for awhile... all the bullshit that I have survived threw the last 7 months...
Directors
RIDLEY SCOTT- influenced by as long ago as ’79 - ALIEN & BLADERUNNER made me wanna Direct & Shoot - no bullshit. MARK ROMANECK - his NINE INCH NALES videos are perfection. TARSEM - absolutly Nothing comes closer to perfection than the REM "Losing my Religion" video, wish he let go more in The CELL.

About me: Driving myself insane with pressure trying to get this HI DEFINITION film outta the gate: LIFE AND DEATH: a short story of the last 30 minutes of one woman's life.
CASTING NEWS-supporting / Pittsburgh, PA: Starting with SUPPORTING ROLES for the -FLASHBACK- sequences. Once final PRODUCTION FOOTAGE commits a -TALENT- to this film, they will be -OFFICIALLY- posted here as C A S T. We have a number of actresses already committed to this Project for a number of supporting characters - just review the Pre-Production page of the "OFFICIAL" site. Because we can tailor -OUR- shoot schedule around their Professional schedules gives us the flexibility to make their setups really involved and shoot as we go. Their setups are then "EDITED INTO" the main character's story. I also want to have the flexibility Budget-wise to bring them in for additional work during their shoot days for additional assignments that we can book for them while in Pittsburgh, PA.
PREPRODUCTION S U P P O R T I N G C A S T:
PERSEPHONE - SCAR - HAZMAT - KATHY JOHANSSON - MELISSA DETTWILLER - NINA MERCEDES - PUMA SWEDE - RICKI RAXXX - AMBER FOX
DIANA KNIGHT - CJ BELLE - NYNA BLACK - HEL INFERNA - MS. SYDNEY - CHERI - SYDNEY SAMORA - ALEXIS HYDS - MONIQUE DUPREE
YES......... WE ARE -STILL CASTING- LOCAL AND / OR NATIONAL SUPPORTING and BACKROUND TALENT.
YES>>>>>L E A D R O L E is S T I L L C A S T I N G
There is a (short-list) of "go-sees" that we are working on: but I am willing to wait and see everyone that I can. I will say this: I do want a PROFESSIONAL SAG ACTRESS with known SCREEN CREDITS for our LEAD CHARACTER. This Role, in theory, has the Actress (20-25 yrs), literally having a Nervous Breakdown for 25-35 minutes in real time. The Tears, the Shaking, the Tearing apart of one's Self Image and MIND. Everything pertaining to this Project rides on this Performance - either this works, or Nothing else we do here will matter. Again, do to the way we are shooting this, there is flexability in shooting schedules... but only to a degree. This is the MAIN STORY - Studio or LOCATION at this point remains open, but TRAVEL / SHOOT DATES WILL BE CONFIRMED IN STONE. Once this is a go, it's a go.... No Bullshit here, Full SHOOT FILM CREW working on this setup. This role will probably be about a 4 / 5 day shoot on set, expenses & travel covered.. and is the is the most IMPORTANT part of this film's success.. and WILL NOT be comprimised - this role ties everyone's work together on this film.
YES... WE ARE -STILL CASTING- LOCAL AND NATIONAL LEAD TALENT - Our door is open here too...
Who I'd like to meet: Actual Producers that can actually produce results & actual funds. Believing in a Project is oh so nice & sweet & everyone wants to be a part of it, but Money talks-Bullshit Walks! I would rather take a couple hits in the balls, at :30 second intervals because I think it would be much more PAIN FREE that trying to get this film to the finish line.
Which brings me to this point - I DO NOT CARE WHO'S MONEY WE SPEND to make this film - NO ONE FILM GETS MADE BY JUST ONE PERSON. This page will also contain those who have DONATED and/or SPONSORED resources to make this film possible. Without their help, this Project would not exist. From support of $250.00 to $2,500.00, to assistance of PRODUCTION RESOURCES - ALL ARE WELCOMED AND NEEDED. They will receive FULL SCREEN CREDIT for their contribution, WEBSITE BANNER-LOGO & LINK, along with copies of the FINISHED FILM, Promotional EXCLUSIVE materials, Guest Screening tickets, and of course our gratitude, and just maybe - a little something extra after wrap. If anyone would like to participate & get involved as a SPONSOR.
It all spends the same... and You know you really wanna do it anyway! Yea - you'll get one of those THANK YOU's on the credits which are REALLY COOL... Maybe more!

My name is Deric Slatton and I've created a social network for those who love horror movies. The network is not just limited to horror we do include sci-fi and suspense thrillers. This network is also for those individuals that aspire to be actors/actresses, movie producers, movie directors, and writers/screenplay writers. I have been networking with different people and companies that will be looking at the website for amateurs trying to be professionals. This is not spam this is my way of giving these people like myself a place to go. This is my way of helping amateurs like myself to become professionals. The more people that join the network the better your chances. This would also be a great opportunity for you to promote yourself and or your website. If this does not apply to you then that’s fine, but if you know someone that it does apply to then by all means pass on the message. It’s your choice, but I would really appreciate it!
