Big news on the M1F front. Another new project has been added to the list. The name of this short film will be called "The Warning", and as been the case with the other projects announced so far, it will be a werewolf movie as well.
One day, I will do a regular film that doesn't have to do with werewolves. But hey, I can't help it, I like the genre. :)
Anyways, here's how the project came about. A couple of weeks ago, I was chatting with my online friend Sam, who lives out in England, about my MOTW project and the upcoming teaser trailer. He was looking forward to seeing it and through our chat, I brought up the subject if he would be up for playing a werewolf. He said sure, and the seeds were put into place.
I came up with a little summary of what I wanted to see and then I asked him would you want to be a good guy or a blood thirsty killer. Obviously, Sam wanted to be blood thirsty, so while crafting that, I came up with a good concept. Part of it was based on a short story I did a few years back. After writing the rough draft, I sent it over to Sam and he liked it a lot, so we're good to go.
I won't go into the full details of the story until we're closer to getting it done, but basically I'm writing the script and consulting from afar, while Sam will be filming it, acting in it, and possibly editing it.
It should be done over the summer. I'll keep you posted.
I've even asked Sam to put together a teaser poster for the film and he told me he'll see what he can do, so stay tuned.
In other M1F news, there may be a new logo coming up in the near future. Still early to give details, but once it's done, you'll see it here first.
That's it. Another update coming soon.

Big News: M1F has a Camcorder!!!
Well, it has come to my attention that you can't do films without a camcorder. So the big news I've been talking about the last time I posted is that I now have a camcorder.
This is it, in the photos to the right.
It's a Canon ZR 500 Mini-DV camcorder. One that records in widescreen and with high resolution.
I was able to purchase this bad boy last month, and I have to say, for a regular camcorder, this is a good one to have.
I've tested it out for a few trial runs and it works great. The picture quality is outstnading and the features are pretty good for a non professional camcorder.
I can't wait to really use this, not just for my film projects, but for other stuff as well, like possible road trips or family gatherings and the like.
But for right now, this is the "official" camcorder of M1F .
Speaking of M1F, here's a status report on my projects:
--The MOTW projects is moving along nicely. You can check out the MOTW blog here for the latest news.
-- I'm also planning to film one or two more films as well as MOTW. I'm looking at the last week of July/early August as possible shooting dates.
That's the latest for now. I'll have another update soon.
