BLOOD RAINS AT RAIN DANCE.

If you live in the Hagerstown Maryland area, here’s your chance to join the growing ranks of the undead. Filmmaker Gary Ugarek (DEADLANDS: THE RISING) is shooting his latest zombie epic TRAPPED starting in late September, extending into October. The script is based on Ugarek’s short story The Escape. Zombies and background extras of all types are needed for the shoot, the premise of which is “6 people trapped inside a movie theater while the world around them falls apart from a zombie takeover.”

To supplement the film’s budget, Ugarek is also selling associate producer credits for $20 a pop, on eBay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320152959788.

UK based filmmaker Julian Richards (who stiffed me on a promised interview, thanks JR) has announced that his latest effort SUMMER SCARS will screen at the Raindance Film Festival as part of that event’s competiton on October 2nd and 3rd at the Cineworld in London.

From the press release: “When six fourteen year old kids truant school to play in the woods they are befriended by a drifter whose behaviour becomes increasingly abusive. Held hostage in their den they are forced to embrace the dark side of human nature if they are going to survive the ordeal. “It’s a very dark tale about the loss of innocence” explains Richards ” and like THE LAST HORROR MOVIE, I think it demonstrates that the best horror is real”.”

Distribution rights are available for SUMMER SCARS, and THE LAST HORROR MOVIE is available at K-mart for four bucks.
