12th street film company (support independent films!)

[falling_star]

Hey everyone, I've been around these boards for quite some time (been playing TEW/EWR since just before the last EWR was released) so I decided that I'd stop by The Dog Pound for a little self-promotion! :D In the time I'm not at work, with my wife, or playing TEW some friends and I run a low-budget, DIY film company that we call 'the 12th street film company'. We're currently in production on our first feature-length movie, a thriller titled "Look At What Your Son Has Done." Anyone who has the time/desire, please watch the trailer & leave us some comments, and visit the YouTube and/or MySpace page (feel free to add us!).

We now have a new 60-second trailer up for our first feature, 'Look At What Your Son Has Done'. We spent time at Horrorhound this past weekend shilling fliers, and (not @ Horrorhound but recently) got Ken Foree to take a personal look at our trailer and he seemed impressed with out story! This isn't a slasher film, or horror film per se. . . it's a love story with a very dark twist. Comment/constructive criticism and ratings are welcomed, we thrive on feedback!! Feel free to post in this thread, or on our MySpace/YouTube pages. Support independent films! :D

You know, I like to support the indie guys when I can. But I doubt this is anything I'd ever see. I'm not really into dark stuff. I prefer movies that will let me forget the dark side of the world for a while. That said, I hope you find the audience you're looking for with this flick. If you do, maybe the next project you do will be more my speed.

I had a look at the trailer, but it took an age to buffer. When it did start I saw about 20 sec of it. From what I seen it has very poor sound, but I didn't really see enough to get into it.

He and his friend have started their own independant film company and are always looking for unnoticed talent. Check it out.

I'm aware of the sound problems, hoping to have it reupped in the next day or two with that issue fixed. Not sure why it didn't want to load, though; for some reason, YouTube seems to destroy the quality of my uploaded file.

Each of us have our own unique tastes in film, and our hope is that each will balance out the other to create something truly unique. Jeremy Killion, the writer of 'Look At What Your Son Has Done', is a big fan of grittier, more exploitative horror films (not films like Saw and Hostel, but cult classics like the original Last House on the Left and films by Dario Argento and George Romero). Jordan Bruns, taking directing duties on this one, is a student of film drama and psychology which has helped us a lot in steering this film away from the 'senseless' violence of a typical horror film and make an intricate, very human love story based around the extreme happenings. And I, Michael Tyner, am doing the camera work & video editting on this one. . . I like the art of visual storytelling, something I consider to be very well done by directors like Darren Aronoffsky and Mark Romanek, and bring more of the technical knowledge to the set. We are not professionals, and we are not setting out to make a professional quality movie. We want to make a movie that people will understand; a film that is well written & well presented, something that will get to the root of cinema as a form of storytelling rather than a medium for digital eyecandy. Thanks for the feedback, more is always welcome. :D

Last time I spoke to him he was in talks with a toy manufactuor and a hollywood film company about doing a modern retelling of an 80s cartoon. I'm not allowed to actually name the cartoon in case it ruins things for him.
