SONOFA--

Just listening to the Rue Morgue Radio Podcast with George Romero. "Diary of the Dead" seems to share some similarities with our short "Lore" which in turn was started out as a "Blair Witch" "In Search of.." parody. It's a bit disheartening isn't it. "8 1/2 Short Films about Zombies" started before the rise of this wave of zombies films. There's a bit of "Shaun of the Dead" in it, soon "Fido" too. Of course some of these films may share the same inspirations. And I wouldn't for a second declare the Zombie Collective shorts as masterpieces. They we never meant to be. We had almost no budget or resources, and they're shorts for God's sake. You can only go so deep in a short.

Current news:
"Animosity" is online at http://films.thelot.com/films/20832 . Watch it and give it a review.
"Awakenings" is nearing completion. "Existence" is next. I lost my sound files so I need to do a resync of the audio. It's a bit overwhelming, so I'm taking my time. Lore needs a few pick-ups before it reaches completion. What's been shot is pretty much polished. And "Spring, Sprang, Sprung" is cut and awaiting music.

And those are the shorts in the can. "April, May and June" an animated short, is being written and designed.

That's it for today.
