Review for Unit 30

Carol Sullivan from Dystopia Magazine was nice enough to review Unit 30. Check out the awesome quote she gave us:

"Refreshingly original, Unit 30 is a quirky black comedy for the nosy neighbor that lurks in all of us."

Thanks Carol!!! To check out some of the chilling short stories Carol has written, go here

Description of Unit 30

Not everything is as it seems when Scully and Mulder, no relation to Dana or Fox, move into the 'perfect' planned community. They soon cross paths with a mysterious package sent to an address that doesn't exist. Mundane situations gradually begin to get off kilter for the pair, and with Mulder's curiosity piqued, the duo decides to solve the mystery behind Unit 30. In the vein of Tales From the Crypt/Darkside, Unit 30 is a campy mystery with a surprising conclusion.

Here is the design for the Unit 30 DVD sleeve. I'm thinking about slipping a copy into the Blockbuster down the street. (click on the picture to make it bigger)

WOOT WOOT: It's a screen capture post!!!

Okay, I don't wanna get any one's knickers in a bunch, but I have it on good authority that Unit 30 is basically done. What's that? You'd like to see some screen captures? Well what to do you know!? I happen to have some! (These are listed in order of how they appear in the short and they are a little grainy looking because of the way blogger displays them, click on the image to make it bigger)

A long overdue update

It has been quite some time since my last post/update. Well, I come bearing gifts,- gifts in the form of an update. Unit 30 is 90% done! As you all know the only thing that was not completed was the composed music. This was no small task since the movie's length clocks in at around 22 minutes. Well, I am now pleased to announce that we have a rough cut of the music done! It sounds awesome and totally lends to the overall feel of the short: a campy fun mystery! We are just tweaking and changing a few things here and there and than the short will be done. It will be submitted to festivals next year, in the hopes of screening in 2010/2011. You should all be very pleased with your performances and I am excited for you to see the finished short!

The real Unit 30!?!

Below is a picture of the real Unit 30, yes, it really exists! The picture was taken from a website trying to sell the home. Click here to see the entire ad


Ok, so it's not the same type of star, but still.....Pretty creepy!

Wait, what was my line?

Below is the finished blooper reel for Unit 30. It's pretty funny, and yes, we all messed up. The important thing is that we were all able to laugh about our mistakes! Well, everyone except Ben laughed. Ben just said f*ck a lot. Feel free to add the video to your blogs or websites.

The sound is done!.....Well, almost

The fixing/mixing of the sound, well, dialogue for Unit 30 is complete! All that's left is color correction and for the music to be composed. The short is so close to completion I can taste it! Well, I mean I could if short films could be tasted. I imagine Unit 30 would taste like coconut

A rough cut is done!!

A rough cut of Unit 30 is done! The short is now off to our sound guy for mixing and cleaning, after that, music for the short is composed. I imagine the film will be completely finished sometime around March/April. I will keep you updated with it's progress as things, well, progress!
