| For anyone who has ever dreamed of one day becoming immortalized on film in a total gore fest or perhaps creatively creepy flick, you might just find your chance here:
We recommend visiting (quite often) the Houston Film Commission, and subsequently, the Texas Film Commission's websites. They are updated frequently with information on casting and crew needs for films shooting in Houston and around the state and are great ways to get exposure in the horror biz.
Last week, the thirteenth entry in the straight-to-home video 'Witchcraft' horror series began shooting in Houston. According to an e-mail from director Mel House, the good stuff (a.k.a. "the blood and gore") doesn't start shooting until September 16.
On Horrorwatch.com, Tripod Films' Shaun Fox, producer of WITCHCRAFT 13: BLOOD OF THE CHOSEN, said via message board that the film is expected to be released in 2006 by Vista Street Entertainment.
"We believe that along with the usual sex and drama that comes with a Witchcraft film, we have raised the bar a bit and will deliver something more than expected," Fox said. "The horror content is a lot more and the director, Mel House, is a huge fan of the series and horror films in general."
In addition, although not in Houston, Michael Bay is about to begin a TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE prequel to begin shooting in October in Austin. But, before you send in that headshot, read this: Bay only needs professional crew at this time.
Nonetheless, visit often, search carefully and you might just find your big brake, ladies and gents.
Visit their websites at http://filmhouston.texaswebhost.com/, and http://www.governor.state.tx.us/divisions/film/hotline and we might see you one day soon on the silver screen.
That's a wrap! |
