Elfie Hopkins

2011-11-24T16:08:00.001-06:00

ELFIE HOPKINS TEASER from Director Ryan Andrews on Vimeo.

Set in a sleepy hunting village, Elfie Hopkins is the story of twenty-two year old slacker and “wanna-be” detective. Elfie is a stoner and an animal lover in a village populated with hunters. Haunted by the death of her mother and surrounded by her broken father and alcoholic step-mother, Elfie seeks solace and inspiration from the old school detectives in The Maltese Falcon and Chinatown. She entertains herself, along with her geeky best friend, Dylan, by investigating the villagers and upsetting everyone with their imaginative allegations. Elfie’s mundane existence is thrown for a spin with the arrival of a family of trendy city dwellers, the Gammons.

The Gammons weave tales of adventure and entice the villagers with offers of exotic hunting holidays around the world. It’s not long before the villagers are flying off to the four corners of the world. Elfie, despite her best efforts, is not immune to the Gammons charms, but soon smells a rat. Elfie and Dylan snap into detective mode and investigate the Gammons life. Blood soon starts to spill in the village and it’s no longer just the blood of animals. Elfie discovers the villagers are not making those flights and when she finally uncovers the truth, its darker then she could have ever imagined. The Gammons are a family of cannibals!

Directed by Ryan Andrews.

OMG SANDSHARKS!!!

2011-11-19T00:23:00.001-06:00

thanks twitch

An underwater earthquake cracks open a crater deep beneath the ocean's surface unleashing a prehistoric predator. On the sleepy island of White Sands, local teens drink and party beside a beach bonfire. One of them wanders off after a pretty girl and disappears, leaving only a severed hand behind. It appears it's been bitten and ripped off by a vicious animal. This looks like a shark bite, but it's found well above the high tide line, it can't be a shark... Or can it?

Jimmy Green (Corin Nemec), prodigal party boy and son of the mayor, returns home to White Sands with a scheme to breathe some life into the dying economy (and clear his debt to a mobster) by throwing a huge spring break party: The Sandman Festival. Jimmy runs into his ex, and now Deputy Sheriff, Brenda Young (Vanessa Lee Evigan). She and her brother, the Sheriff, want to close the island beaches in fear of further shark attacks, which would ruin Jimmy's plans. Brenda calls in an expert, shark scientist Dr. Sandy Powers (Brooke Hogan), as the attacks continue. Dr. Powers says it appears to be a sand shark, a beast which moves through the sand as if it was water. A shark is electrocuted by accident, but it's soon discovered that this shark, though gigantic, was only a baby!

The festival continues and thousands of college kids arrive just as dozens of sand sharks make their presence known, attracted by the vibrations of the crowd and the PA system. The most menacing beasts to ever rule the waters, now rule the sand; mercilessly feeding on anything that crosses their path. It's a giant feeding frenzy and it's up to Brenda, Sandy, the Sheriff, and Jimmy to stop the carnage.

The Wilhelm Scream

2011-11-18T00:42:00.001-06:00

The Wilhelm scream is a film and television stock sound effect first used in 1951 for the film Distant Drums. The effect gained new popularity (its use often becoming an in-joke) after it was used in Star Wars and many other blockbuster films as well as television programs and video games. The scream is often used when someone is shot, falls from a great height, or is thrown from an explosion.The sound is named for Private Wilhelm, a character in The Charge at Feather River, a 1953 western in which the character is shot with an arrow. This was believed to be the third movie to use the sound effect and its first use from the Warner Brothers stock sound library.

Westlake Ace Hardware's Zombie Preparedness Center

2011-10-11T09:37:00.000-05:00

Found this article on the Omaha World Herald news page on 10/11/11

Having trouble keeping your dog safe from zombies? Worried about the wandering undead messing up your neatly manicured lawn? A regional hardware chain with nine stores in Omaha, Council Bluffs and Lincoln is tackling those challenges — and plenty of other zombie-related concerns — with an advertising campaign that's catching the attention of local customers as well as zombie enthusiasts from around the world.

Westlake Ace Hardware's Zombie Preparedness Center, which was dreamed up by the Omaha public relations and advertising agency Bozell, was rolled out last week. In area stores, workers put up how-to posters ("A Human's Guide to Zombie Preparedness," for example, offers tips on purchasing the right power tools, cleaners and door locks to keep zombies at bay) and handed out "Zombie Prepared" buttons. On the company's website, "zombies" was added to a list of store specialties, alongside more standard topics like "fasteners" and "Benjamin Moore paint."

Facebook fans of the effort — more than 1,300 people had "liked" the page in less than three days — can now gather virtual tools for "zombie-proofing" a wall. "I love the tone," said Liz Benditt, Westlake's director of customer relationship development. "If we can help you with your lawn and your home, we can help you with the zombie apocalypse."

It's an unusual approach for a business that typically depends on more traditional methods of marketing and interacting with customers. But Benditt said it's a risk that makes sense for the Lenexa, Kan.-based chain, which has 88 stores in the Midwest and Southwest. Over the past few years, working with Bozell, the company has put a bigger emphasis on its ability to provide knowledgeable service in addition to tools and paint and light bulbs. When Bozell suggested that Westlake use the same approach with zombies, there was a bit of hesitation. But the team that put together the concept assured the hardware chain that it had done its research.

Zombies, it seems, are having a bit of a moment in pop culture, taking a starring role in television shows and video games and becoming a popular theme for parties and bar crawls. According to the National Retail Federation, it will be one of the top five adult Halloween costumes this year, jumping from No. 22 on last year's list. And the people at Bozell found something else interesting: In a state-by-state ranking of zombie-related Internet searches, Nebraska ranked No. 7. Kansas and Oklahoma, which also have Westlake stores, were 6 and 8, respectively. Though zombie fans come from all walks of life, Bozell found that many were part of a younger demographic that Westlake was interested in reaching: the 20- or 30-somethings who might prefer a big box store without thinking about trying a smaller hardware store.

Zombies, they figured, were a perfect tool to bridge the gap. "There's a lot of concern and interest in zombies," said Scott Rowe, partner in charge of digital marketing at Bozell. "So we're giving people a chance to engage — and realize that Westlake is a good option." The Bozell team of seven came up with the idea about two weeks before it went live. Once it was OK'd by Westlake it was time to figure out how to make it more than a gimmick.

The eventual plan was to play it straight, using the expert help angle to tackle zombies like a very real problem — fixable, of course, with the right type of hardware. Westlake's online zombie defense guide includes a 20-point "frequently asked questions" section. Sample question: "A zombie fell and put a hole in my drywall. What tools will I need to fix this?" The store suggests patching up zombie-shape drywall holes with spackle, a putty knife and sandpaper.

"We'd seen lots of other companies using zombies, but what we offer directly plays in with things that you can actually get," said Scott Bishop, Bozell's director of social influence. It's too early to tell if the interest in zombies will translate to more spackle, putty knives and sandpaper flying off the shelves. But the impact on web traffic is clear. On Wednesday, the first day of the campaign, the number of hits on Westlake's website doubled from the day before. By week's end the total volume of traffic had shot up by 17 percent. On Twitter, the campaign has drawn mentions from as far away as the Philippines. Bozell plans to keep adding new elements to the campaign throughout the month, including more marketing from the zombie perspective: Westlake shoppers might spot "A Zombie's Guide to Delaying Your Decay" posted in the store. (The poster suggests using bolts and fasteners to help with broken bones and stain sealer for a spray tan. In local stores, managers and employees are playing along.

Mike Dowling, manager of the Westlake store at 84th Street and West Center Road in Omaha, said shoppers seem to be enjoying the zombie theme. Some of his employees even asked if they could come to work in costume. He said he appreciated the enthusiasm, but wanted to stay professional. The goal, he said, is to show new shoppers that it's a place they can trust. "That's our biggest thing: We're trying to get that younger crowd that don't know they can come here, get all of their questions answered," he said.

Madison shows how to do a sunflower costume for Halloween. She used a brown eyeliner to draw the circle, and then dark brown eyeshadow to fill in the circle. A yellow eyeshadow to color around the circle and to make the yellow dots.

The flower is made of card stock, you could poster board and cut of the petals. Then we painted the petals yellow. We got some yellow tissue paper and glue it to the inner petals. Found her a green shirt and shorts and there you have it, A SUNFLOWER!

BedBugs!

2011-09-15T11:12:00.000-05:00

Alex and Susan Wendt are the perfect couple in search of the perfect brownstone-and they find their dream house in the heart of Brooklyn Heights. Sure, the landlady is a little eccentric, and the handyman drops some cryptic remarks about the previous tenants. But the rent is so low, it's too good to pass up!

Big mistake: Susan soon discovers that the brownstone is crawling with bedbugs . . . Or is it? She awakens every morning with fresh bites, but neither Alex nor their daughter Emma has a single welt. Exterminators search the property and turn up nothing. Neighbors insist the building is clean. Susan fears that she's going mad-but as the mysteries deepen, a more sinister explanation presents itself: She may literally be confronting the bedbug problem from hell. An understated horror story filled with loving references to Rosemary's Baby and other classic tales of urban paranoia, Bedbugs will keep your skin crawling into the wee hours of the night.

Dog Soldiers: Red

2011-09-15T01:38:00.000-05:00

The first official teaser trailer for the upcoming Dog Soldiers: Legacy web series.

Dog Soldiers: Red was filmed in Northwest Arkansas in the last weekend of August 2011. "The trailer brings back a sense of the unique werewolf style that we have all come to love from the original Dog Soldiers film" stated Kismet vice president D. Eric Allen. Allen produced the teaser and is the oldest son of David E. Allen, producer and financier for the original film.

Based on a modern-day version of "Little Red Riding Hood", multiple members of Allen's family took part in the Ryan Lightbourn-directed trailer including his grandmother Pat "Nan" Allen who plays the awaiting grandma and his sister Emmy Allen who portrays "Red".

"I can't wait for people to see what we have in store," quoted Lightbourn. "Old & new fans alike will be extremely satisfied."

Kismet Entertainment is also in the early stages of pre-production for the first sequel to the 2002 cult hit "Dog Soldiers".

"We would like to thank our fans for their continued support and for having faith that the Dog Soldiers title will continue to expand into the future", said David E. Allen, president and CEO of Kismet Entertainment Group.

We'll See I guess...It appears the actor cannot move very well in the Werewolf costume. So they captured the attack scene with quick edits, off center images, and fast close up shots. Hope the web series gets it better.

In support of Academy Award ® winner Steven Soderbergh's latest film "Contagion" -- in theaters September 9th, Warner Bros. Pictures Canada teamed up with microbiologists and immunologists from around the world to create a one-of-a-kind bacteria message board located at 409 Queen Street West in an abandoned store-front window. On August 28th, two large Petri dishes were inoculated with live bacteria including penicillin, mold and pigmented bacteria and almost overnight have revealed the true Contagion -- an artistic interpretation of the spread of a virus as depicted in the film.
