crewless news and notes

Hide and Creep on Ain’t It Cool! Okay, this is pretty… well, cool. The Hide and Creep trailer and web site got a mention today from Ain’t It Cool News writer Elston Gunn in his “Weekly Recap” column.

A German web site called KillingRed.com has mentioned Hide and Creep on one of their news pages. I think. Most of the site is written in German, so I’m not sure exactly what they’re saying about the movie. They did link to the Hide and Creep web site and trailer, though, so “danke” to KillingRed.com.

Also, Undead Films added Hide and Creep to their “Upcoming Zombie Movies” page.

A few web sites have mentioned Hide and Creep lately. Creature Corner has a story up recommending our MoviePoopShoot.com column, along with a link to the teaser trailer. They also added our trailer to their trailers page. Our trailer is listed right after the one for Hellboy. That’s pretty cool.

Hide and Creep now has a page on the Encyclopedia of Fantastic Film and Television site. They also mention Hide and Creep on their “2004: Year of the Zombie” page.

Finally, two mentions on “news” pages: one at Unfilmable.com, the other at AllThingsZombie.com.

Thanks to all these sites for spreading the word about the movie.

You might have heard about Hide and Creep, the feature-length movie we’re working on. Now you can see a little of it. I just posted the “teaser” trailer here. The Hide and Creep web site should also be fully functional now. Check it out and see what you think. And let me know if there are still some bugs in it.

If you’re wondering who did that cool music in the trailer, Kenn McCracken donated the creepy part at the first, and the rockin’ stuff at the end is from “Under the Radar Screen” by T-minus Band. Thanks to both for letting us use their sounds.

Also wanted to let you know that Barry Austin, one of the actors in Hide and Creep, currently has the lead in a play running in Birmingham. There’s an AL.com story about it if you’d like more info.

As of Monday, we’ve only got two shooting days left on Hide and Creep. Not counting re-shoots (which we’re actually doing a little of this weekend). We’re also working on a teaser trailer for the movie, which should be available on the Internet in the next couple of weeks.

If you haven’t seen it yet, head over to MoviePoopShoot.com and check out the just-posted installment of “This Movie Ain’t Gonna Shoot Itself.”

I’ve been writing a column for MoviePoopShoot.com, a really cool entertainment/pop culture web site. The column is called “This Movie Ain’t Gonna Shoot Itself,” and it deals with the various aspects of nearly-no-budget filmmaking. A new column goes up every other Thursday. Today’s discusses how we put the crew together for Hide and Creep. You can read the column at http://www.moviepoopshoot.com/shootitself/index.html.

Erik Jambor and the Sidewalk Film Fest guys were nice enough to have Chuck and I speak a bit at last night’s Sidewalk Salon. We talked about the pros and cons of shooting movies on film (as opposed to video). If you’re in the Birmingham, AL, area and are interested in movies, you should check out a Sidewalk Salon. They’re held the first Monday of every month at the Barking Kudu. Get more info. at the Sidewalk web site.
