Our Man in Hollywood

In this month’s Nautilus magazine you can find a two-pages interview with director Huan Vu where he talks about this project. He also mentioned the latest addition to our crew – experienced special makeup effects artist Dave Snyder, who worked on big feature films like the last two “Star Trek” movies or “Pirates of the Caribbean”. A tremendous Lovecraft fan, he also participated in “The Whisperer in Darkness” by the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society and thus Huan Vu and Jan Roth had the chance to talk to him at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival 2011 in Portland, Oregon. Dave liked “Die Farbe” very much and expressed that he would love to contribute to the next film project, if there should be one.

Soon we will find out if that’s going to be the case! We can only say that we’re very excited and that we’re looking forward to work with such an expert in his field.

Over the Ocean

Currently Kickstarter is only open for creators based in the US, the UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. That’s why we asked Brian Callahan, festival director of the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival & CthulhuCon in Portland, Oregon to help us setting things up. Brian just recently finished the Kickstarter campaign for the next festival successfully and will clear the way for us in the next few days. Due to some important preparations that we still have to do, we cannot launch our campaign as planned on March 1st, though. We need at least a full week to be ready, so please stay tuned!

Into the Abyss

Our third teaser trailer for “The Dreamlands” is dedicated to visionary artist Zdzisław Beksiński who died today 9 years ago. Will his works never be forgotten.

In two weeks we will launch our crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter. Please share this teaser trailer and support us!

Researching costumes

Next up is Hannah Deuss, our costume designer. Yes, she’s really an archaeologist. And yes, it fits perfectly to our project!

Genrenale

This Wednesday we are going to premiere “Into the Abyss” – the third teaser trailer for “The Dreamlands” – at the second Genrenale in Berlin. This special film festival is dedicated to German genre movies, hoping to resurrect an almost lost film culture in a nation that has long forgotten how to pronounce Science-Fiction, Fantasy and Horror.

Tear down this wall

Let’s introduce the two artists who created our crumbling Wall of Sleep that you saw in our first teaser trailer: Matte painter Chris Reinfels and VFX technical director Juri Bryan. While Juri is a young and aspiring film school graduate, Chris is a veteran of several big budget Hollywood productions. Both their professional experience and dedication will help us to make the passage beyond any wall.
