FANTASTIC FEST 2012: THE END IS JUST BEGINNING!

Leave a comment

Heading east from Albuquerque on my annual drive to Austin’s Fantastic Fest, the sky starts to slap on my skin like a wet T-shirt. As night falls, I hunt for a vacant motel room, prowling through parking lots filled with shirtless men, drinking beer and firing up the BBQ. Sweat and fire and meat — it all feels like I’m at the end of the earth, but this is just Texas.

The Fantastic Fest is the USA’s most exciting genre film festival, held at the Alamo Drafthouse. This year’s theme, The End is Nigh, takes its cue from the approaching end of the Mayan calendar.

Over the next couple weeks, check in daily for my take on the World Premieres of Frankenweenie 3D and Red Dawn; documentaries about The Shining, The Exorcist, The Amityville Horror, and the Icelandic Phallological Museum; and more new finds.

I’ll be your Doomsday Prophet, heralding all the films that you shouldn’t miss before global annihilation commences.

Skøl!

Do you like my new logo? This is the official Channel23hahaha Logo! Hopefully, one day, you can see this logo in front of major motion pictures!

HI HI HI every one! It’s your comic loving, smoothing talking, villain fighting, dish washing friend, Richard here! So, as you well know, I mainly post about comic book stuff here on the DCRS website. Sometimes It’s an article reviewing a graphic novel. Other times, I’m just posting the latest episode of COMICS! for you all to view and enjoy. However, today I’ll be posting something a little different. Something that I’d consider more personal then the majority of COMICS! episodes I’ve posted. Also, something relative to the times because Halloween is coming up! What I’m posting is the biggest project I’ve ever worked on. It’s a short film I directed, wrote, edited, and acted in called Specter Quest!

It’s a short story that follows these 4 kids, Max, Johnny, Wes, and Bel, as they make their web show called Specter Quest. On the show, Max and the gang hunt down ghost stories and legends to try and see if they are fact or fiction. The show used to be on ghosts mainly, but now the team tackles anything supernatural. One day, one of the kids notices something…off in his neighborhood. So, he rounds up his crew to make an episode of Specter Quest about it. Little did he know that, doing this would open up a can of worms he’s not prepared to deal with. What he discovers will change life…FOREVERRRRR!

Now, I’m a huge film nut, and my biggest goal is to become a story teller through the film medium. I’ve learned a lot in my 7 years of video experience, and hopefully that shows in this short. It’s not anywhere close to perfect, but I still hope you enjoy it! Also, If your game, I encourage you to post reviews of the short! Whether it’s in the comments, in a video, or even on your blog/websites. I’d love to hear your thoughts on the project! Anyways, that’s about it for me here! To watch my short, as usual, click on the picture above. Also, don’t forget to subscribe to Channel23hahaha For all the latest videos I post! Hopefully another short film will be on my channel soon!
