Garden of Hedon Blu Ray Almost Sold Out + The Only Place To Stream It In Hi-Def

The lovely Leanna Chamish and Kimberly Kerr in a behind-the-scenes shot

Just a note to let you know that we are literally down to our last 50 copies of the Blu Ray, and I'm not sure how long before we do another run. We're in the middle of production on Terrortory so it may be quite some time.

But you can always stream it HERE, the only place to stream in Hi-Def and also the only place you can rent it rather than buy it. (Amazon is buy-only and not HD, per Amazon's bizarre rules)

https://gardenofhedon.vhx.tv/

So check it out while you can!

A Big Thanks!

To all who have made the "Garden of Hedon" release a big success! We're almost to our THIRD Amazon sell-out, and VOD demand has been surprisingly high!

While I'm at it I'd like to thank everybody who helped us in the creation of the movie! From actor to P.A. to every other person who did ANYTHING! Without you the movie would not have been made!

So thank you to all who have helped us make our little indie flick a success!

While I'm here I'll mention that I'm going to be a guest at the Scares That Care Weekend Convention in June! If you haven't gotten your GOH Blu Ray or your FOC2 Blu Ray it's a great place to pick it up! I'll also have a SUPER-LIMITED item that will not be offered online, and it's almost certainly going to sell out at the show.

I can't say exactly what it is, but let's just say if you've only seen four of my five films then you'll be exceedingly interested in getting this item.

You can head over to the convention Facebook site or the actual web site and check out the other guests! It's going to be a blast!

Finally I just want to reiterate that the ONLY places you can see "Garden of Hedon" online are in the post below! The hacker web sites are showing up already(where they promise to let you watch the movie for free...after you enter in your information, click on a few malware banners, and subsequently lose control of your computer), so stay safe and check it out at only the links below!

Hope to see you all at the show! I'll leave you with some Behind The Scenes photos from the GOH shoot featuring just a few of the people who helped in the making of the flick!

And don't forget to follow us on Twitter so you get ALL the updates! (Facebook's pretty selective)

Garden of Hedon - Now Streamable!

Big news! For those of you out of country who can't get your hands on a copy of the Blu due to high shipping costs, you can now download or stream the movie from anywhere in the world!



Distrify is a cool new site where not only can you stream the movie, but you can also sign up on Distrify, embed the movie link on your web site, AND get paid for every person who watches the movie through your site!

That's right, get paid for sharing movies you like! Pretty cool, huh?

For those of you who can't see the box above due to an out-dated browser you can use this link:

 If you'd like to download the movie and stream it or burn it or whatever, the best place to do that is here, a new site called VHX:

Note that you can download it from Amazon for cheaper but it's higher quality on VHX. As always you can buy the Blu-Ray with all the extras HERE if it hasn't sold out again!

Final Online Chapter Is Up!

And we're posting the link here first!

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XlCHenedMEE

So don't forget to head on over HERE and order yours! They come in on 2/17/2014!

You can also order from Amazon here, but it'll cost you a little more!

I decided to stop the online ones here because the next chapter features a lot of nudity, and Youtube kind of has fits about posting stuff like that.

Garden of Hedon: COMING SOON (UPDATED!)

 Okay, so I've decided to ignore the offers we've gotten. What most people think is that getting distribution=success for a film, when nothing is farther from the truth. It's easy to get distribution nowadays if your movie has an interesting premise and/or a good trailer/poster.

Getting paid, however, especially with no known actors--that's the rub.

So we're going to go ahead and put the film out ourselves. The Blu Ray has everything we ever wanted, including an incredibly great looking master from the original 4K footage.

We're going to start putting the movie online in pieces, the way we originally wrote it, and I'll decide at what point we stop. They'll go up about once every two weeks, and you can find them at this link:

WATCH GARDEN OF HEDON HERE!

You can watch the prelude plus the first four minutes of the film RIGHT NOW! That's right, nearly 10 full minutes of the movie already! UPDATE! We put the next chapter up early! Take a look!

But please note that the pre-order for the Blu Ray won't go up until we're about the go to press on them, probably late December, so don't bother pushing the pre-order button yet. UPDATE! You can now pre-order for the ridiculous price of $20 plus free shipping! (shipping will be refunded after payment) The price will go up to $25 when the GOH Blu is delivered(we're estimating late January).

Then the film will show up on Amazon, but we'll always have the cheapest price on our web site. After that the full movie will start streaming from Amazon and some other sites.

We're excited to finally be getting the movie out there so everyone can check it out!

August 2013 Update

 

Danielle Lozeau as "Maria" in the Cloisters Castle.

Not much to report here. We've received two offers for GOH, but neither is great so we're pretty sure we're going to pass on both. If there's no advance, that usually means no money ever. If we're going to nearly give the movie away, I'd rather just do things my way and put out my own version of the blu ray.

D.P. Jared Noe frames John Bailey and Carl Stevens

So we'll continue to field offers, but if nothing comes along that I'm happy with then there's a great chance I'll just have a run of blu-rays professionally done, and then we'll probably put half of the movie online where you can watch it in pieces(the way we originally wrote it).

And if people want to see the full movie to find out who the killer is, as well as see the Making Of and all the extras, they can grab the blu ray from us--which I know a lot of the KS people were disappointed that they weren't going to be able to get it.

We may also stream the full movie from some of other places who have expressed interest in selling the movie online.

Either way, we're moving forward on our next flick--writing the script now. I'll talk more about that later.

Thanks for keeping up with us!

All Done on the KS

Below is a note I put on our Facebook page. I just reprint it here in case you're not one of our fans who Like the page. But while we're talking about it, how come you haven't gone over there and LIKED us? I don't do a new page for every movie, cuz that can get annoying.

So go over and Like Us, and make sure you check the SHOW IN NEWS FEED button.


GAVE IT A SHOT

Well, the campaign is over. Gave it quite a shot, but for some reason or another it didn't get the traffic it needed.

I'll take another look at it later. I still think the idea is sound, and could work for filmmakers, depending on the project and their fan base. I would bet that if this had been for money to make another clown movie, we would have made it. (based on the 13,000 views we got in a week on our clown update video)

But maybe it's still too early. People still don't understand that nowadays getting distribution isn't equivelent to success--frankly it probably means you didn't make any money at all. And while it's clear that people feel fine giving you money to MAKE your movie, they're a little cloudy on why they would put up money to have a movie distributed. Of course, people are always slow to adopt new ideas, so maybe it's just a matter of time.

It's a little like the notion(that still exists) that a direct-to-dvd movie is a lesser-quality than a theatrical release. They don't get the fact that theatrical isn't going to happen for 99% of the movies being made--there aren't enough movie screens, not to mention that studios aren't going to put the ad money behind a micro-budget flick. (with, of course, the once-every-ten-years exception of Blair Witch/Paranormal Activity)

These facts are the reason that Bruce Willis and Nic Cage movies go direct to video or Netflix. Clearly those movies can get distribution...but there's only so much room and if the studio doesn't think it's going to be a smash hit, they won't risk spending the money to put it in theaters.

As for us, not sure what's next. I have to prep the screeners/press kits to send to my rep for "Garden of Hedon". Then, we'll get some offers(I assume) and will have to go over contracts. Once that's done and we agree to terms I have to prep all the materials. It's an ungodly amount of tedious work, and one of the big reasons I would have liked to skip it. I got into this to make movies, not deal with distribution issues. If we accept an offer fast you might see GOH on VOD in a year. No idea when the dvd/Blu would follow, but typically not within 6 months.

In between that we'll talk about what's next. We have an investor already who's offered to front money--a decent amount, but not enough for the script we'd really like to do. (with some name actors!)

Anyway, just wanted to thank everybody again who shared our links and believed in us enough to pledge!

Our newest update video

Check it out--and then pitch in a buck for every time you laughed. That's a fair trade, right? :)

Last 10 days of the campaign! Without everyone's help we won't be able to do this!

Kickstarter UPDATE!

Director of Photography Jared Noe being reminded why he signed up for this project

So we're at nearly $2000 of our goal--the hard part is over! :)

For anyone unsure of just how Kickstarter works, you pledge money to the cause(in this case, giving away the movie to everybody including you). You don't pay until June when the campaign is over, and ONLY if we make our goal.

So it's impossible to lose--either we reach our goal and you get a movie plus your reward, or we don't reach the goal and you're not charged a dime.

BUT WE DON'T WANT THAT TO HAPPEN.

Please spread the word. The more people who put in money--even a dollar--the closer we get to the goal.

If you want to see this movie, PLEDGE! Otherwise you're not going to see it for at least two years...and then you'll probably get a barebones dvd/blu ray that the distributor threw together with barely any extras. This way you get the Blu Ray we created! With all the extras, just like we wanted them!

We need your help to make this happen!

Also check out this new update video featuring me answering questions!

And then this update video which features the return of the super-popular SHIVERS THE CLOWN!

Wanna see the film for nearly FREE?

We've launched an innovative Kickstarter plan which, if successful, will see us release the full film in high quality format to the internet. Anybody will be able to watch it(even on their TV if it's internet enabled, which many are now)--got a Blu Ray player that connects to Youtube? There you go. An Xbox or Playstation? Watch it through that.

So check it out--drop a couple of bucks and it could be a reality! If we don't make the goal, you don't get charged a dime!

Blu Ray Work

So as we continue to plan things I'll show you a graphic of the Blu Ray disc we're working on. Please note that this was created by me, so it's pretty amateurish. The awesome Erik Ashley, the guy who created the posters for every movie since FOC, has been nice enough to take a look at them and will be making them better.

You should really swing over to his web site and check him out. And hire him--he does incredible work.

But I figured you might want to see this before he makes it 1000 times better...

The Experiment Will Begin In A Moment

Or, roughly 2 weeks.

I can't talk much about it yet, but it could mean everyone(and I mean EVERYONE) could see GOH in April.

I have recently completed the full color-corrected version of the flick and much of the Making Of, which this time will be a number of shorter segments rather than one long supplement.

We're prepping to do the commentary. Prepping in the sense that I have to get more vodka.

Thanks to everyone who voted on imdb--if you haven't yet, please jump on over and rate us! It helps us out and is as easy as one click!

BTS of the cookout, Night 1 of the shoot

Winner, Best Feature: Garden of Hedon

Great news! We went to the Philadelphia Terror Film Festival and triumphed!

GOH took home 4 awards, Best Actor(Richard Cutting), Best Supporting Actor(Manuel Poblete), Best Screenplay and Best Feature!

The Best Feature, for me at least, is the big one. We beat Nailbiter, which has been sweeping festivals all over the place. I had a feeling we might fall victim to them also, but we won!

We had a great time, met some other cool filmmakers, and brought home some awards! (well, only the paper so far--there was a snafu with the plaques and they're shipping them to everybody)

So when can you see GOH? Still working on that! Stay tuned.

Great News!

Garden of Hedon will be playing at the Terror Film Festival in Philly on October 20th! In addition we've been nominated for 10 awards!

The State Of Things

So, I've been quiet of late. Here's your update!

I've done another pass on GOH and think it's about finished. The final running time is 1hr57 minutes.  Am pretty happy with it. There's still some things I wish I could change, but they're pretty much all a function of our super-low budget.

Have imported all of the Making Of footage and am prepping to create the supplement. Have to interview the main people, or at least some of them. Gotta figure out exactly what I have footage of for them to talk about.

People ask about distribution, and it's up in the air. I haven't even sent it to my producer's rep yet because of another option I'm mulling over. You may hear about it soon if I decide to go forward with it.

Night of the Living Podcast did a short blurb/review of the flick, which I've edited for the best possible context. You can hear the edit below, or head to www.notlp.com for the actual episode.

PREMIERE!

So we had the premiere on Thursday, April 26th--if you didn't come, what's the matter with you? :)

Other than a small snafu where the theater wanted us to start promptly at 7:15, it went well. The picture looked great, everybody seemed to have a good time, and we had a great turnout. Thanks to everybody who came out, and I only wish I had more time to talk to each and every person...

We got interviewed by Click On This, a local show, and when they put up that footage I'll post the link. Here's some pictures from the premiere!

Tickets. Half sold out.

Just saying. If you were thinking about waiting to buy them the night of the premiere, I wouldn't hold your breath. :)
