Show some mercy...

So mini-teaser two is up. MERCY shows the TRAVELER encountering another survivor who has been recently bitten. A dear friend of mine, Cathleen Hennon, plays the victim. Even in these brief moments, I really loved her performance. She has fought so hard to survive and in this moment she just sits down to face the inevitable. The TRAVELER, played by Jasyn Jefferies, is there for that moment and is reminded of something from his past which you'll learn more about in the main teaser which will release this Thrusday. Great work everyone. Look for the next one tomorrow. Stay tuned.


Mini-Teaser 2 of 3 is now live! Mercy!

Ladies and Gentleman,

The second mini-teaser is ready for you to check out and share with your friends, family, and casual acquaintances!  Check it out below:





Mercy - The TRAVELER encounters a wounded woman in her last moments and knows he has a decision to make. And remember, this is all leading up to the main teaser on 12.09.10.

1 down...3 to go.

So mini-teaser #1 is in the books. "CHECKLIST" gives a glimpse into a day in the life of the lead character of the story, known only as the TRAVELER. Played by Jasyn Jefferies, he is a man trying to survive in a zombie infested world. But instead of surviving in a major urban area, he has chosen to head for the vast forests of the Midwest. This small vignette is designed to show how he uses a routine to keep himself sane. Simple things like checking his weapons, going over his gear...all help him to maintain a sense of control in a world where there is none. In the beginning of the short, we see a dream sequence of a battle with one of the undead. Who is it? What happened? You'll just have to check back to find out.

As the films unfold, the stakes will be raised and the Traveler will come in contact with even more Z's. So stay tuned!

Look for our next mini-teaser, "FLYOVER" on Tuesday. It should be good stuff. Thanks for watching!

Updates and a Quick Summary of Strategy

First off, thanks for all the support thus far! We've been getting a great response on Twitter (@PlucharC), Facebook (www.facebook.com/notomorrowthemovie), and a number of other film related blogs and sites.

We've also just created the YouTube channel (pictured right) that we'll be posting the videos to.  That's something I had hoped we could have created sooner and thus spent time networking in the YouTube community, but hopefully our time spent elsewhere will make up for that. So please feel free to get ahead of the game and subscribe to the channel and share it with your friends and family.

I've also had a few people ask me to sum up our strategy. While I'd like to direct them to the previous posts on that very subject and call it a day, I understand the need for explaining it in much briefer terms, so here goes.

Strategy

Several short films over the last year or so have been created and uploaded to YouTube where they then took on a life of their own as they went viral to one degree or another. Following this surge in popularity, many of them received deals with studios, producers, investors, or production companies. The result generally means their project is being made into a feature.

It seems that creating a dynamic pitch piece or proof of concept piece is another, perhaps more unique way of getting the attention of the right people. And that's what we've done.

Pictured: Actor Jasyn Jefferies as the Traveler

We have a feature film concept that we're essentially pitching with three mini-teasers to be released (one at a time) today, tomorrow, and Wednesday. They'll give you a small taste of a moment in the life of our main character, the TRAVELER.


Which brings us to Thursday. That's the big day. We'll be launching both our film website (www.notomorrowthemovie.com) and the main pitch piece which gives you a taste of how the film would start and what the TRAVELER would be like just a few months later after living and surviving on his own.

That's the one we'll need the most help in sharing. If we drum up enough support for the project with that video, then the possibility that this feature film will get made is quite good.

The only question is, will you help us?

Take Care,

"Trust Nothing.  Trust No One.  There is No Tomorrow."

The countdown is on.

Director Frank T. Ziede here. I wanted to check in with everyone and fill you in on some of our last minute progress. We are less than one week away from the lauch of our project and we couldn't be more excited about it. The film is looking amazing. See for yourself:








We have also launched a countdown timer on our official website for the film at www.notomorrowthemovie.com. Head on over and check it out.


We are busy handling a ton of last minute details so I better get back to work. To everyone who is following this blog and supporting our project I want to take a moment and say thanks. We are nothing without you and we hope you enjoy the films.

Website Launch

Our Web Designer/Resident Magician, Brandon Comerford (www.brandoncomerford.com), has been working hard day and night preparing the main site for the launch of the No Tomorrow teaser on December 9th. You aren't able to view all the work he's put in, but due to his extra efforts, there's now a splash page complete with the logo and a timer counting down to the launch.  Check it out here: www.notomorrowthemovie.com

It might not seem like much, but web design and coding are pretty much Spanish to me (I know a few sentences and words providing a rudimentary understanding of the language). Also, it's a nice touch that allows us to start spreading the word about the site ahead of time rather than telling people that something will be there eventually.

So check it out and spread the word!

A quick bit about other news. www.cinefile.com and www.terror4fun.com will be featuring No Tomorrow in their respective newsletters. We greatly appreciate their interest and support!

Take Care,
