Wow...One Month

This has been the longest break I've taken from this blog since I've started it. I will be the first to admit, that it is very hard to come up with fresh new content to post about. But, Im getting my refund very soon, so I will definately have more things to post.

I'm planning one big trip into Canton, and then up into Rome, to get some pictures and stock footage of both Hell's Church and Corpsewood Manor. I recently took a trip down to Savannah...totally forgot to bring my camera though. At least I know my car can make it.

I'm very excited as I'm finally back in school. Things seem to be turning around fo me! I'm still undecided whether or not I will pursue the Village Inn Bed and Breakfast film. Its now seeming as if it would be a monumental waste of time and money.

I will call them and make appropriate contacts and let you guys know.

But most definately, the Corpsewood Manor shoot will go well. Also, if anyone knows anyone who owns the book "Murder at Corpsewood" please let me know. Im looking to purchase it, and would be willing to pay a premium.

I've decided, in my wisdom, that I will pay paying the full amount for the formation of the Four Rose Charity myself. Im setting aside $200 a month for six months, if possible, so that I can reach that point. However, if you would like to contact me about donations, or selling the book, my email is below.

Short Film Contest

Hello Gentle Readers. Today, I am anting to go ahead and announce the first annual short film contest "Two-Minute Screamer; 2010", this event is sponsored by Crimson Star Entertainment.

Okay, so what is it, you ask? Well this weekend, I was watching two zombie movies, in an attempt to stimulate my creative mind, so that I could work on my novel. And it worked. Hopefully, this week, I will write another 10,000 to 15,000 words, god willing. But those movies were the mega-Hollywood Blockbuster, Dawn of the Dead and the low-budget Zombie Apocolypse.

However, this did get me thinking. How about I make a low budget film, as scary as I could, given items around the house? Well, I'vedecided to do just that. Only, I've decided to let you, the community be apart of this.

The contest officially starts tommorrow, March 1st, 2010. The deadline for entries is March 15th, 2010. This gives film-makers 15 days to come up with their short films.

What sort of guidelines are there? Well, its low-budget, and by low-budget, I mean $0.00, you must produce your work with only those things you find around your house, and using volunteers. The only exception to this is petrol money to reach a location for shooting, and money for Film, DV Cords, Batteries. Etc.

The film must be of the horror genre, and can only be two minutes long. Once you submit your work, you agree that we have first right to publish, which will last for 90 days after your submission.

Okay, so those are the rules. What does the winner get? He recieves a signed copy of our Four Rose Short Film, and a spot on our main site to publish his film. This spot will last, at a minimum, 90 days, and at most, a year, as decided by CSE. In addition, you also recieve up to three links to websites of your choice. Our website has PageRank of 3; and a very targetted audience of gamers and other unique parties.

So, if you are ready, email your questions, or your submission here. And remember, purchases of the Four Roses Short Film go to the formation of our Four Rose Charity Foundation. Thanks for your support!

Good Luck!

Four Rose Foundation

So, thats the name we've given the charity organization so far. We are up to $10; but we need $1200, and thats just to form the organization itself. But dont worry, I will be stepping back in to pay most of this in the coming months.

However, if you want to help, you can. And I know most of you are rolling your eyes, thinking I'm going to ask for a donation.

How about this?

Buy the DVD version of our movie here, the proceeds go towards our charity oganization, and will help keep us making movies and investigating these mysterious, historical places.

Thanks so much for helping!

Village Inn Bed and Breakfast

Hey Ghost Fans!

So I went ahead and did some initial photo-shoot of the Village Inn Bed & Breakfast, in Stone Mountain Georgia. The Village Inn is a historic building in Stone Mountain, dating back to 1830. This makes it one of the Oldest buildings in the Metro Area (Buildings on the east side tend to be older on average).

There are many stories of hauntings and creepy noises in the night. Im currently discussing with the owner to get some more information, so that I may begin shooting.

And here is a nearby church...

Sponsors

Also, I'm looking for new sponsors for this website. We get some steady Traffic. The movies feed good traffic to the site.

New Happenings

Alright, so I know there hasn't been too much content up here in the past week or so. I'm making movement towards getting filming done on my next project. If you have been keeping up, you know that I'm planning to film at Hell's Church in Canton.

However, recent developements have spurred another movie. I've recently recieved permission from the Owner of Stone Mountain Bed & Breakfast, one of the oldest buildings in the Metro Area (1830), to conduct an investigation and have the building as the centerpiece to my next movie. Hopefully negotiations don't flop, and shooting will get started in about two weeks.

I also got news that the proof of the movie with blooper reel has arrived at CreateSpace. Another four weeks, and I should have a working product ready for distribution. It will be a great way for you guys to contribute to the Rufus Rose Fund, and get something in return.

If you dont know, I've started the Rose Fund to help save the rose house and alleviate some of the poverty here in Atlanta. Currently, our first goal is to raise enough money to incorporate our charity as a 501C(3) organization. A task, at this point, that will require about 1200 USD. We have currently raised about $20 USD.

So we definately need your help!

Decisions

Oi, meant to post last night, but dealing with a bit of Google madness. They deactivated my account for invalid activity. So we have less ads, replaced by another company.

Anyhow, I've decided our next film project will be about Hell's Church in Canton, Georgia. Its doubtful that we will be able to get inside, but hopefully I will be able to pull up alot of information.
