ANIMOSITY off-line
Well, if you started reading my blog from the beginning, you'd know that one of the zombie films has been available for viewing at the "ON THE LOT" website. That's right I entered it into the TV during the second round of submissions. If you haven't seen it yet, you're too late. Within weeks of the show wrapping up the powers at FOX decided to shut down the website. Now this isn't a great loss to the show features etc, but they did develop a large community of film-makers and enthusiasts who used the forums and posted video to exchange ideas. What sucks is that FOX was fostering this in the early days, but once the show turned out to be a ratings bomb, POOF no more website, you're out of luck film-makers.
Now I don't exactly mourn this passing. From day one I found the website clunky and difficult to navigate. There were too many you-tubers posting films as well (but that's alright, since there were a lot of higher quality films too). I do feel that FOX did a horrific job with all things connected to the show and this is the spit in the face to all those people who bolstered and rallied behind it and the website.
And on that note. Animosity will not be going up on youtube or divShare anytime soon. If you want to see it, you’ll need to get to a screening. Any that it has will be posted up here, and I’ll be working on a DVD.
