174 - Amazing
Ok, so you are not going to believe this, but it is 100% true. I was looking at the Minneapolis Star and Tribune paper online, and came across this news-story. It is not just the story that is amazing, but the picture that is in the advertisement to the side, that was on the same page! Click to enlarge.
You can read the whole story here .
The picture must rotate, because when I checked back, it wasn't there. I swear, I DIDN'T MAKE IT UP!

172 - Star Tribune - Blurb about DWD
Taking in the trash
Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguez celebrate cheap exploitation flicks in their upcoming feature "Grindhouse" -- and what says cheap exploitation better than getting wannabe filmmakers to promote the movie with a contest for the best fake trailer? Hundreds rose to the bait, but "The Dead Won't Die," by local director Todd Cobery and producer Brady Kiernan, made the final three, which Rodriguez screened Sunday at the South by Southwest Film Festival in Austin, Texas. Their hilariously gruesome zombie short didn't win, but they did get passes to the film's L.A. premiere, plus a tour of Rodriguez' studios hosted by his wife/producer, Elizabeth Avellan. "That was the coolest," said Kiernan, who said animators showed how Rose McGowan's soon-to-be-famous prosthetic machine-gun leg was added digitally. "The Dead Won't Die" has gotten 20,000 views on YouTube (check it out at www.startribune.com/a2449 if you dare). Kiernan said he and Cobery are now raising money to turn it into a full-fledged feature.

171 - Grindhouse
Well, as of last week I have learned that the fake Grindhouse trailer, Dead Won't Die ,that I shot, is one of three chosen from hundreds to be shown at the SXSW film event, picked by and hosted by Robert Rodriguez . In fact, that event is happening right now, as I write this.
This morning, Todd C , Brady K., and Brian W. (director, producer, and sound man/grip) are being given a tour of Mr.Rodriguez's studio , Troublemaker Studios, as part of the award.
Lot's of local people worked on this in the cold, for no money, and they are all great, thank-you all! This is an honor to all your hard work.
Why didn't I go too? Good question. Here is another few stills from the making of DWD.

Hey there, it's been a while, huh? I just found out that I've gotten a picture into JPG Magazine . It is not the issue featured in this picture, but the upcoming #9 issue. It is the photo of the firemen that I posted on 11/28/06 . Check out their site and post your own photos for submission!

163 - Zombie Myspace
It's crazy. The video that I shot last year (or was it 05?), called ZOMBIE DODGEBALL- directed by Todd C ., somehow got on the front page of myspace today.
So far it has been viewed 45895 times. Funny thing is, it is without ANY credits. That's ok I guess, because we shot it really quick, with very little help and it is ok, but nothing amazing by any measure.

135 - Seen it
I know you've all seen this type of picture before, but when I saw it happen in my living room I couldn't believe it.
Oh ya, I haven't had a tv for years. I still think that they are a general waste of time/and of your mind but I got this one (cheap) just to watch DVD's from time to time.
