Chance Encounters

Last week Indiana’s very own Horror / SCI-FI Film Festival the Geek Independent Film Festival showed both Chance Brother’s The Timeslip and my very own short film Apt.

It was to my great surprise they showed both films and now … with Apt. nominated for the Delta Award at the up and coming the Festival of Fantastic films in Manchester England this Sunday (please do go if you can make it!)  it gives me great pleasure to announce The Timeslip won BEST SCI-FI at the Geek Independent Film Festival!

Richard and I are so happy that the film is being warmly received critically with reviewers and by festivals. With only 5 winning categories at the Geek Independent it makes us very proud to have been chosen as one of them.

My short film Apt. has now got a UK premiere at Manchester’s very own Festival of Fantastic films – It will be showing on Saturday October 22nd. The yearly horror film festival are renowned for having great guests attending and this year is no exception!

They have some great actors and directors of the golden age of the British horror genre as well as Bobby Rhodes of  Demons, Demons 2 fame – you know it’s going to be a blast!

On top of this I was wonderfully surprised to find Apt. is shortlisted for the Delta Award (the very same award we were nominated for with Chainmail in 2007!) it’s great to see both Apt. and The Timeslip getting into some great festivals this year! Keep checking for more updates on festivals this year and next!

Award winning director needs your help!

Computer graphic artists we need your help. We are creating a one hour and ten minute film which needs approximately 7 minutes of realistic computer generated images: star ship battles in space, space marines verses humanoid aliens fighting on a battlefield, in buildings etc. If you are capable of creating anything like the effects in the Halo Reach advert that would be fantastic. If you are enthusiastic and  think you can help please contact me via the email address below placing CGI ARTIST in the subject box. I will contact you only if you are successful in this application after the advert has finished running; and you will be asked to fill out a standard confidentiality agreement before we proceed.

This is a NO-BUDGET film so unfortunately we can only offer the experience of being a part of a feature film’s creation and give you credit in the titles of the film, a recommendation to hand to future employees, and a contract which guarantees more monies if the film is sold to a DVD distributor; in addition we will give you a copy of the finished feature film. Your involvement in the film will also make an impressive addition to your professional résumé.

Time-wasters DO NOT apply.

Project stage: Early production: we have a finished script and created a detailed shot list. The music score is being composed. Voice artists have been contacted.

Project Name: The Last War.

Chance Encounter’s past film projects:

For The Last War a feature-length film.

We require the assistance of voice artists for Character Narration. People with experience in public speaking, book narration, performance or reading out-loud could be most suitable for this position.

We also require musicians with either orchestral connections with a group, or access to an orchestral editing package. I have a completed script and the music pieces we wish to be played so no new creation is needed. (You will keep the moral rights for the reproduction of the music only grant us the usage of the piece)

I will welcome any additional pieces of music if it is in line with the style of the film.

If you think you can help contact me via the email address below.

Please email me at the address below if you are interested and think you are right for either of the positions required. Placing either Musician or voice artist in the subject box. I will contact you only if you are successful in this application.
