I have to do some errands today. I just looked the temp outside. Then looked out the window and got a shiver up my spine.

Has anyone watched Dead Before Dawn 3D (2012)?
It is one of the few horror comedies I’ve seen with an uplifting ending.

I’m 56, have no experience making horror comedies, but I’m chomping on the bit to make my first short in a couple months! Follow my journey as I improve along the way!

I’m ready to shoot my first short when the weather is warmer. I know no other filmmakers around me. I bought a cheap 8k camera I don’t know how to work, and I have some obscenely cheap lavs ready to slap on. All my extremely limited knowledge is from YT. Am I nuts? Yes! Am I determined? Also yes!

To my horror/horror-comedy peeps doing projects:
I know it's tiring. I know it's easy to become burned out. I know long hours are tiring.
But- You can do this! You have the ideas! It will be worth it!
Take a break, then get back to work. Take baby steps. Make small goals to meet. YOU CAN DO THIS!
