This is a scene from a film I've been working on for the past year or so called CURSE of the JAGGAR MOON. It's a film noir comedy which combines scenes culled from public domain noirs of the '40s with new footage to tell a new original story. I am writer, producer, director and star in a triple role.

Nice, how is the film progressing?

Here's an update on my Curse Of The Jaggar Moon project: A rough edit (no sound) of one of the first completed scenes from my no-budget film noir comedy, CURSE OF THE JAGGAR MOON. The film mixes new, original content with old public domain Hollywood clips to tell an original story. All new footage was shot in greenscreen with background plates culled from the same films as the old clips. Sound will be ADR'd in the final stages of production. I still have to work on grain-matching the old footage, but it's good enough to give an idea of where we're going with this.
Here my character, the evil Senator, disarms and beats up on Johnny (Jack Elam) an unwitting jewel thief, in an attempt to find out where he's stashed the Jaggar Moon diamond.

The traffic on this subject seems pretty slow, too bad more of us don't make these short film noirs/neo noirs, they are a lot of fun to put together.

Here is one of the latest offerings shot almost entirely in Miles City, Montana, with the establishing hotel shot in Seattle, enjoy!

And there's my problem with streaming video. Nothing on the internet is permanent. Five years downstream, and in any given list, lots of URLs no longer work.

If you really love something, buy it on DVD/CD/whatever physical media while you still can. "Buying to own" something on the cloud is total bushwa, you're still just renting content... until that content migrates to a different platform/corporate owner and your claim is no longer valid.

And go ahead, rush to put everything in your home on the internet of things, let your car communicate with the cloud, do all your banking/etc. on your phone... because our security systems are so dependable that there's so little chance that a foreign power could get control of such key software networks and wreak havoc. Oh, wait...

I have one or two very minor contributions to this thread. Here's one, a ten minute short I did way back in 2001:


(A couple have what may be their last argument- ever.)
