Nowadays technology is to the point where just about anybody can get a
camera, get some friends together and make a scary movie. That is a
good thing and a bad thing. The good thing is that there are a lot of
talented people now given the ability to demonstrate their talent to
some degree. That opportunity wasn't available a decade ago. The bad
obviously is that there are a lot of really bad movies out there as
well. The Internet has allowed filmmakers and fans to connect with each
other developing even more opportunities to raise money through sites
like KIckstarter and Indieagogo or simply spread the word about upcoming
projects faster than ever before. This is a great time for movie geeks
especially those who want to take their love for film one step further
by getting involved in the filmmaking process and make a difference.
For
about a year I have donated to a couple of horror movies on Kickstarter
and offered my services to local filmmakers in my area. I reviewed a
couple of independent horror films at the behest of the directors and
used my blog to spread the word about other projects that I feel are
important. It is an absolute thrill to help out whenever I can. The
results have been amazing. I have made a lot of new friends and had
some doors opened to me that weren't there before. How wide those doors
are open only time will tell. The experiences have been phenomenal.
(See picture above) I can say that there are a lot of creative directors
out there trying to do great things in the horror genre that are highly
appreciative of any help they can get. They will understand the
sacrifices you make (hopefully) to the their cause. You never know what
will happen. Click here to read the rest...
