Zombie Zone 82 script

The last few days I have been cranking out the zombie zone 82 film script. It's my best script yet. I can't wait to cast the film and get it in the can. Going to be looking for 25 boys to play the scout troop... We will have to do a bunch of fundraising to get the film made as I'm completely tapped out. Canada UK only. USA please like subscribe and share links to your friends.  We really need to get the subscriptions and views into the hundreds of thousands so we can start promoting products like normal YouTubers 

just my luck.

My computer monitor screen turned purple today. I'm going to try and find something used or free so I can get back to writing. 

I would Love to buy this puppy

I would love to buy this car and convert it into a police car for use in some movies. It's $3500 plus tax so right around $4000. At the current YouTube revenue it could be mine in 100 years. https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/289612706784189/?mibextid=9R9pXO

Im planning to buy some new film music this weekend at Film Roits black friday sale. Music always helps with new film productions as I am no musiciann,

Bye Bye Website

I had to terminate my website as the web hosting company keeps taking money out of my bank without my permission. Their customer service is incredibly slow and they don't do what they say they are going to do. I don't know how many times I told them to turn off the automatic payment system and how many times they say they have turned it off but they just keep taking money.

So I deleted the website and I have terminated their services 

A sneak Peak

Here is a sneak peak of Madison's promo video that goes live next week.  Madison's video

7 feature ideas

I now have 7 feature film ideas. This one is really good. I'm not sure if I should include it in my 12 features challenge. It does intake finding an amazing cast to pull it off. Humm 

it's hard to believe

It's hard to believe I have been working on film project for almost 41 years and I have yet to make a living at it. It's not that I don't have good ideas as I have inspired many of the top people in Hollywood over the years. I have contributed greatly and I may make a film or two about it one day. Or I may write a book I'm not sure. 

"Work hard and you will be useful." I'm not sure I believe that any more. I've put hundreds of thousands of dollars into film and video projects. I've up to 5000 work hours in one year for many years in a row and I have yet to get rewarded for all that hard work.  It's like god will not let me make money or something. I don't know what I need to do to break the glass ceiling. Hummm

New Ideas

I'm currently brain storming some new ideas for films..I'm hoping to think up some new original script ideas. Possibly new directions to go in that capture the audeniaces I'magination. I really need that block buster "Home Alone" type film.

12 feature films project

I think I'm going to go with my 12 feature films in one year project. Film one feature each month. Have viewers follow me along on the adventure. Hopefully it generates a tune of interest. 

Rules, 

12 kids feature films by the Dec 31 2024 starting Jan 1 2024. 

Next to Zero budget as I have no money. 

No more than two volunteer helpers on each film

I will write, produce direct and edit each film

I may need to ask a friend to help with VFX as I don't have the computer or programs to do VFX 

People can donate money, props and locations.

The biggest challenge will be finding the actors needed. I may have to fundraise to pay for actors. 

What are your thoughts? Please comment or email. 

New Direction

I'm thinking about changing it up. 40 years of making films for kids and 40 years of losing money. I'm thinking I'm going to change to Hallmark type films. They are extremely popular and they have an audience with money that buy content. 

12 feature films in one year is a very entertaining idea that should give me an income where I can buy food and shelter. I'm on the very edge of homelessness and my health is slipping. Doctors and dentist charge $10,000 an hour so paying for health care is becoming a huge problem. I guess they care more about how many vacation homes they own then people. 

Theses are sad times when money means more than people. 

Impossible Challenge?

I'm thinking about taking on the impossible Challenge next year. What is the impossible Challenge you may ask? To make one feature film every month. So 12 full length feature films. Can it be done? 

old school

Found an old school over by Ottawa that I would love to buy and turn into a film studio. Maybe someone will buy it and donate it to me. Ha ha ha. I definately don't have the cash to buy something like this but it would be cool.  Just keeping the dream alive. Maybe one day I will find the perfect property to buy. Waterfront old summer camp would work too. https://youtu.be/8M4jv1iBDq4?si=L2ZMkMOV3jJgN0Qf

Big thank you

A great big thank you goes out to Michael for sponcering the website for the next two months. It will be up for an other 8 weeks and we shall see if it gets saved agian.

Getting excited for next summer

As this year was a bit disappointing I'm starting to get very excited for the possiblies next summer. People are starting to get back to do stuff again. It should be a good year for finding actors. My plan is to make films in different city's so there is a larger group to audition. 

New film siers idea.

Hey everyone. I'm wondering if our fans would like to see a four feature film series? The same actors in each film and posted on YouTube at the end of each season.  Winter, spring, summer, fall and possibly a other winter. It would have a cast of 25, inner city youth group 1983 setting. Middy Ducks slash Summer Project type storyline. Please comment below or email me your thoughts.

Greg's Map

Greg's treasure Map is doing well.  Hopefully it finds a massive audience like Home Alone.

Youtube

I'm wondering if anyone would like to help keep the website going? It require $150 to keep it going for the next year. 

U12 Divers
