THE TIMESLIP OFFICIAL TRAILER

I would like to make a deeply humbled and grateful thanks to Frederic Tiberghien for the fantastic job he did on my head shots. A truly magnificent photographer; focused, talented, warm and friendly and a really great personality to work with. If anyone is looking to get some terrific photos done, Head shots, Fashion, etc; Frederic is your man. I loved what he did with my head shots and the re-touches were a furthermore original artistic touch which certainly brought character to the styles of people i was portraying for the shoot.

Below is his website, current blog (with info on how our photo shoot went down) and Head shots where you’ll find my mug. Lol!

Please do check out and see for yourselves!

You can finally get to see our award winning short film The Day I Tried to Live right here;

http://www.propeller4film.com/film/424

Enjoy!

The Day I Tried to Live went on to win ‘Best Guerrilla Film – The Xristos Award’ at the International Action on Film Festival held in California. It has been shown at a number of film festivals including ‘The Zero Film Festival’ and ‘Portobello Film Festival’ in London, and is currently still showing. From the makers behind Propeller TV on SKY television (Chainmail premiered on Propeller TV in Sept 2008, to good ratings!) Propeller4film has to offer the best emerging talent from the UK and Europe to the web! We are happy to be a part of their collection of films.

The Day I Tried to Live brief Synopsis:
A space pod crashes from the sky and a body washes up; so begins a tale of one man’s journey of discovery. Yet, a tangible hope and a search to find another of his kind turns to desperation.

Making of Pictures:

Richard captures the right shot.

Jonathan get’s close ups of the three shadow men.

John and Rich.

Wendy Bartel Directed a short film based on the classic poem Abou Ben Adhem by James Leigh Hunt. It’s a good little film! You can watch it here. The Voice Over Narrator is me.

We are at the LAST WEEK for donations for film funding for exposure for films in festivals.

We need your help! By donating as little as $10 you get a reward from us! You don’t have to be a US resident to help out either!

The bidding war has begun as Distribution for the THE VEIL (US CUT) as distributors all last week have been emailing us, so this is a film on demand and no mistake. Firstly we feel after the years in making it deserves to be seen in festivals and theaters on the big screen! You can make that happen! THE VEIL (US CUT) and APT. have already been accepted and played at the International Action on Film Film Festival as part of the ‘Official Selection’ proving these are up there with the big leagues no matter the smaller budget! Now we need your help for more exposure!

Don’t take my word for it … hear the reviews! :

“The Veil succeeds where countless of its multi-million dollar and fellow indie counterparts have fallen flat on their faces.”

8.5 /10
(Quote from Ulisis Silva) QuietEarth

“Splatter-tastic Zombie Flick makes ebola look like a picnic.”

KKKK 4/5 – Nick Ruskell Kerrang! Magazine

“Great zombie action…Awesome Brit flick with bite!”

Mark Bennet Gorezone Magazine

“The Veil is a very ambitious film and the people behind it deserve a huge amount of credit for managing to realise such a significant vision.”

(Quote from Paul Prichard) Pulpmovies

“The Veil: Heralds the future of Horror. Forget trite comparisons with other films, shove, oneupmanship and crappy ‘debates’ like ‘Brit flicks vs American Movies’, this is where it’s at. The Veil packs more
visceral punch than Cronenberg on Amphetamine sulphate…see it”

Nigel Buckland ‘VIDS’ Review

“Gritty,realistic…The Veil is brutal enough to terrify the dead themselves”

Want to help emerging film talent get more exposure? Chance Encounters has found a site called KICKSTARTER which helps fund and finance projects no matter how big or small. As you all know we have been known to do everything for ourselves being the micro filmmakers we are… BUT this is what we have been always needing; a stepping stone to greater exposure in more film festivals. For as little donation as $10 you can take home a little piece of Chance Encounters films and be a part of film history. The more you donate the more you can be a part of our projects and the more rewards / prizes you will receive!

Go here for all the information:

Donations will go toward our current feature film THE VEIL US CUT and my short horror film apt. to be seen in more film festivals in USA, UK and worldwide. More than anything you will be helping us get to the next stage with our films. Something we have been pushing for quite some while. With bigger budgets we can make better films. We have always pushed for originality and something different with our films which the industry more than ever needs right now.

Thank you so much in advance!

John Chance
