Coming Soon(er or later)

So a lot of people ask me, what's next? Okay, nobody really asks me that besides myself. But it is a valid question! 'Waiting for Eternity' and 'Welkin's Gate' come out next week, and then in a month starts a new semester of classes. Sadly, I will not be taking any classes that involve making a film. They filled up before I was even capable of registering. I did, however, get into a film festival class in which we learn to produce film festivals. Yay? Why not! Seems like a good skill to have. And it won't stop me from making movies. I came to college to build a portfolio after all.

Sometimes I promise I'll be making a movie, and I don't keep them. Not that anybody but myself cares, it is still a bad habit! So this time I am going to propose a bunch of film ideas, and then maybe at least one of them will be made.

Sci-fi/Fantasy- You could say 'Waiting for Eternity' is a fantasy portrait about a vampire who falls in love with his victim--because that is what it is. But having vampires and fairies in a story together is sooo True Blood.

Idea 1: So it's time for an epic Sci-fi showdown between humans and aliens. Yes, this sounds a lot like Probed and Xenophobic, two flops. This is different! With new technology allowing me to use stunning graphics and such, I'm finally able to make the alien film I've always wanted. The title is in the works, but it is about a NASA-like company discovering a wormhole in outer space, and in close proximity with our solar system. So using a new space probe that is capable of going further than any spacecraft before it, they send two chimps out to collect data. But the probe disappears! But even more surprising to our head-of-NASA-like protagonist, the signal from the probe returns and heading straight for Earth. But instead of the probe, an alien ship comes out of the wormhole and reaches the outer atmosphere of Earth and begins orbiting it, sending out radio waves with a shocking, encoded message. Who or what are these extraterrestrials looking for? The answer is almost too much to bare.

Problem with this idea. It will require actors who are at least in their late 20s and who are willing to work for coupons to Village Inn. Although they wouldn't have to commit much time to it since it is a short films (Approx 30 minutes), it will still be hard finding good enough actors of that age around here. In Citizen Prophet we were able to come up with a reason why the police inspectors were played by young guys, but that won't work this time. And hopefully the acting will be better.

Idea 2: This idea has always been on the table. 'Super Fluous the movie'. An epic adventure of our favorite super hero and his super friends. It would be a dual story about Super Fluous fighting his adversary, Mask-er-Raid--and Cockatoo Kid taking on The Hypnotist (as in a remake of 'Cockatoo Kid vs. The Hypnotist' being the subplot.)

When a few friends come together for the first time to take down an evil, faceless crime lord--The Genie--they save the town and become heroes. But Super Fluous, who doesn't like that he has to remain masked and his true identity doesn't get the credit for saving the city, unmasks himself to the public. As a result, his house is raided by thugs who kill his mother and his twin brother (thinking it was Super Fluous). Not being able to find who killed them, Super Fluous gives up being a hero out of guilt. Years later, his brother's killer resurfaces forcing Super Fluous back into crime fighting. Meanwhile, Cockatoo Kid investigates the disappears of the chief of police and meets his arch-nemesis, The Hypnotist. The Hypnotist's plan is to put all the heroes under a trance and take over the city.

There's the first two! More to come?
