Help Make The Paranormalists A Big-Screen Feature!


Hey folks

Remember Nicholas J. Hagen? He directed that film I mentioned a few posts back, Dark Horizon.

Well, Nick's always got something going on... last year, he shot the pilot for a new "Mocumentary-style" TV comedy called The Paranormalists. He pulled together some of the best actors in Portland for the cast, including my friend and frequent collaborator Mercedes Rose, Todd Robinson, Jennifer Skyler, Richard Topping, and Darius Pierce.

When the pilot and the follow-up episode "Vampire" hit the web, people went crazy! They loved the odd characters and even odder situations, and they were begging for more. Now, seven months later, Nick has plans to bring The Paranormalists back - as a big-screen feature!

You can be a big-time movie producer and lend a hand! Click here to visit Nick's Kickstarter Page for the project, watch his video presentation - and support your local filmmaker by passing him a few bucks to help finance the production!

I know I'm going to do my part to get this flick made... after those first couple of episodes, I can see the comedic potential! I hope you'll join me!

Support Your Local Filmmaker (Part 2): In The Theater!


Hey there folks

You might remember an earlier post in which I urged you to visit Amazon.com to pre-order Portland-area filmmaker Todd Freeman's film Pray For Hell. I won't go into all the benefits of supporting your local filmmaker again... click the link above if you want read through my usual long-winded diatribe.
I did want to let you know, however, that there's an opportunity to "try before you buy" coming up here in Portland. In advance of the November 10th DVD release of Pray For Hell, Todd's a series of showings at the Clinton Street Theater - the film runs from tonight (November 1st) through Thursday (November 5th).
Now, I'm not in this film. I do know many of the people involved, though... and I'm really excited to get the chance to see it on the big screen tonight. I'll be attending the 7PM showing - hopefully Todd and his brother Jason will be there so I can lift a glass to their success.
If you get the chance over the next few days, try and make it by the Clinton Street to see the show... and if you can't make it down, do consider ordering the film from Amazon, adding it to your Netflix Cue, or picking the DVD up at Target or WalMart after the 10th...
Maybe I'll see you tonight...
-Harold
