<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Well folks, I thought I might share a bit of
information about what's<BR>up at P13, Ohio's premiers effects and production
facility, and give some tips on DVD's you can give as gifts to
your<BR>independent film making friends.<BR><BR>First on the list: "Buried
Alive", directed by P13's Robert Kurtzman<BR>in New Mexico last year, featuring
makeup and visual effects by the<BR>gang at P13, was released by Dimension
Extreme on October 23, and can<BR>be found at your local video rental store,
Best Buy, etc. Actually,<BR>every time I'm at Blockbuster, the darned thing is
checked out.<BR>Hopefully the distributer will get a box of them to us so we
don't<BR>have to go out and buy the thing.<BR><BR>"Hallowed Ground", directed by
long time friend David Benullo,<BR>featuring makeup effects by the boils and
ghouls at P13 (Sorry. I had<BR>a Forrie moment there....) hit the shelves on
October 9th. Really low<BR>budget affair, but pretty well crafted and a lot of
fun to watch. You<BR>can't go wrong with a boogedy scarecrow.<BR><BR>For an even
more up to the minute release, "Undead or Alive", the<BR>zombie western we did
makeup and visual effects for in New Mexico<BR>last year, was released December
11th. Starring Chris Kattan and<BR>James Denton and directed by Glascow
Phillips, it's really a ball<BR>(And I usually can't stand Chris
Kattan!)<BR><BR>"Living Hell", the last of The Horror Chronicles films that were
shot<BR>in New Mexico, has made a deal with the SciFi Channel, and from
what<BR>I heard will be on sometime in February. Featuring makeup and
visual<BR>effects by Precinct 13, look for it as one of those SciFi
world<BR>premiere events....<BR><BR>Final release info.... Universal Home
Entertainment will be releasing<BR>Robert Kurtzman's "The Rage" on DVD on
February 26th, 2008. Entirely<BR>locally financed and produced, a number of
the folks who frequent these</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>postings were involved in it's creation, and
it promises to be one of<BR>the most thrilling roller coaster rides you'll ever
see.<BR><BR>Upcoming films to look for that we've been working on
lately...<BR><BR>P13 artists will be wrapping up work after a three month shoot
in New<BR>Mexico this week on the set of Will Eisner's "The Spirit. The
film,<BR>which is being directed by Frank Miller, looks to be a
Christmas<BR>theatrical release for next year. Makeup effects are by Precinct
13,<BR>as well as the all important mask for the Spirit himself (I made 75<BR>of
the damned things. If yer good to me....)<BR><BR>"The Dead Matter" was produced
out of the P13 studio this last<BR>summer, and is currently in editorial. Once
again all Ohio residents<BR>helped fill both cast and crew positions, and we're
looking forward<BR>to getting our hands on some footage to do our VFX magic in
the<BR>coming months.<BR><BR>While we were Dead Mattering here, Bob was back in
New Mexico this<BR>summer directing "To Live and Die", an action thriller
starring Sean<BR>Patrick Flanery and Joe Pantoliano. The film is currently here
being<BR>edited, and I'm trying to juggle my duties on makeup effects<BR>on
"Slaughter", and supervising the VFX on Bob's movie to make sure<BR>that those
get done by the time he gets to sound mix.<BR><BR>And speaking of VFX, tucked in
there is handling some VFX work<BR>for "Ghouls", directed by Precinct 13's other
director-in-residence,<BR>Gary Jones, which was shot for a sinfully low amount
of money during<BR>a 14 day shoot in Bulgaria earlier this year. It's already
been<BR>picked up by the SciFi channel for a spring 2008 airing.<BR><BR>As
always, please send your updated resumes letting us know what<BR>you're up to.
We appear to have even bigger/better on the horizon for<BR>the upcoming year,
and want to get the local crew folks involved as<BR>much as
possible.<BR><BR>Thanks for looking, and have a Happy Holiday
season.<BR><BR>Al,<BR>The Calm P13 Guy<BR></DIV></FONT>
