Why Wonder Woman?

Every fan loves a fan film: a labor of love that presents a unique point of view, pushing the boundaries of what movies are allowed to do.  Iconic characters are the most symbolic and the most important, and we chose Wonder Woman because she is EPIC, and arguably the most controversial of all of DC’s most beloved characters! To our knowledge their isn’t yet a Wonder Woman Fan Film out there that has been able to do her justice and we want to give the fans something to go gaga over!!

After the explosion of comments, shares, interviews of Adam Jay’s Wonder Woman photo shoot with Sarah Scott, we decided this is the time!

Excited yet?? We sure are! No set date on the release of this baby, but you have  plenty of cool stuff to check out on the website to keep you busy. We have included a pic of the, very beautiful, Sarah Scott as Wonder Woman below.  Indulge!!

Trancas Films and HalloweenMovies.com are proud to announce the HALLOWEEN FAN FILM FESTIVAL, taking place this October. Fan-made films have long been an important part of the diverse tapestry that is the HALLOWEEN universe, and this fall we are celebrating these works with a month-long film festival on our site. In addition to a platform for filmmakers to have their work seen by hundreds of thousands of fans, it is also a competition, to be decided by viewers, to crown the best full length and short form fan films.

Films will be broken into two categories: FEATURES (60+ min.); and SHORTS (1-59 min.). The top two features, and the top four shorts will earn prizes, and will become permanent fixtures at HalloweenMovies.com for millions of fans to enjoy in the coming years.

There is NO CHARGE for filmmakers to submit their films. The call for entries opens August 1, and will close on Sunday, September 30.

SCREENING FORMAT:

• All films will be uploaded to our Halloween Network YouTube page.
• Once the call for submissions ends on September 30, I will go through and sort what we got, laying out a month-long schedule for them to run in October. The idea is to have two a week or so, based on the number of submissions.
• Voting will be based on number of LIKES on the YouTube page for each one.
• Winners will be announced on Halloween night, and added to a special page on the site.
• Winners may also be screened at upcoming events

Here is what I had for ideas on rules for submission…

NOTES ON SUBMITTING YOUR FILM:

1. Films must be submitted as files, as we will be adding them to our HALLOWEEN Network on YouTube.

Send files via a download link, or large file transfer service (WeTransfer.com, for example) to justin@halloweenmovies.com or click the “Submit Now” link at the bottom of the page. Do not email links to any pre-existing YouTube post of your film, and do not post links here or at the HalloweenMovies Facebook page. The links will be deleted to keep things fair for everyone submitting.

2. With your submission, include the following:

• The title of your film
• Your name and contact information
• Cast and crew list
• Link(s) to any website(s) relevant to the film
• Poster image for your film (if you have one)
• Running time of your film (FEATURES run 60 min +, and SHORTS run 1-59 minutes)
• Caution as to whether or not there is nudity and/or adult language (both are fine, we just need to know)

3. Films should involve the HALLOWEEN universe/characters we all know, or at least be related to the series in some manner, but cannot contain clips or music from any existing HALLOWEEN films, but you can include your own variations on the theme as long as you do not ever make your film available for sale anywhere. Please be aware that any uploads which contain intellectual property infringements will immediately be disqualified.

4. This Film Festival is not meant to encourage dangerous techniques when in production. Please BE SAFE and use any and all precautions when making your fan films. Avoid potentially dangerous things like real knives, and do not attempt to reenact stunts from any of the HALLOWEEN films. The Film Festival (or entity names) will not be responsible for any resulting injuries and cannot be held liable in a court of law. Engaging in production of films is at your own risk.

5. Submission of your film constitutes implied acceptance of any and all terms and conditions presented. Filmmakers may send a cease and desist letter to Film Festival. Legal release/disclaimer stating the above will be forwarded to filmmaker upon submission.  Signing the release is a prerequisite for entry into the contest.

In October 2010, filmmaker, Jason Damian began pre-production with storyboard artist and producer, Mason Welsh on a Spider-Man fan film. Unlike Jason Damian’s previous Spider-Man fan film, “The Death of Spider-Man,” this film wasn’t about telling a new Spider-Man story. Instead, this fan film was about closing a chapter in Spider-Man’s pop culture legacy. The new film would take on the task of concluding the popular 1994 cartoon show, “Spider-Man: The Animated Series!”

“When Dr. Connors turns into the Lizard, he blames Peter Parker for helping him with the transformation (As seen in Spider-Man Vengeance). Meanwhile, Punisher thinks Spider-Man is the man who attacked a student, and aims to punish Spider-Man.

This is Alex Malamos, one of the minds behind this short – I just wanted to add that this movie was shot with a very low budget, as full-time college students, trying to make a decent movie in our final 4 months of school ever. Then a month or two later graduation.

I apologize for it not being the greatest quality in terms of…well, everything. Nonetheless, we had fun with it and knowing that info I hope all can enjoy it. I think the budget was around $155, not including the stuff I happened to have before it anyways, which would put it at $450. Compared to my other attempts at spiderman fan films, this was amazing. That’s what it was mostly for me. A personal record; leaving the other two ‘films’ in the dust. And I can safely say I did that.

I want to thank the youtube sound effect page for allowing me to use some of the effects available on his page. That page is located at http://www.youtube.com/user/SoundEffectsCapital. “

Thank you!

As promised,  I’m back, and chock full of coverage from my day at ConnectiCon 2012′! I attended the Con on Saturday (June 14th) along with my good buddy/awesome artist/ Marshal Couture (www.plexhop.com). It was held at The Connecticut Convention Center, in Hartford Connecticut, June 13th-15th.

ConnectiCon was billed as a ‘Multi-Genre’ convention, and it was in many ways. Cos-Players were in abundance, gaming tables were everywhere, Anime panels & screenings of upcoming films were showing, and the general vibe of the Con was great, but a lack of comic book culture left Marshal and I feeling like strangers in a strange land.

Don’t get me  wrong, I support Geekdom, and its many incarnations, but comic books just happen to be MY thing. A Handful of Comic Artists and vendors were present, and we had the pleasure of getting to know a few of them (shouts to: Stacie Ponder, Sticky Comics, Mike Costello & Tina Pratt, Joe Hill, Kristilyn, Garth Cameron Graham, John McDowell, David Woodward, Dern & O-Abnormal, Nick Palazzo, Out At Home Comics, and Zack Finfrock) I just hope that comic book culture will be a bigger presence at ConnectiCon 2013′.

Marshal and I had a great time overall. The convention hall was spacious, allowing for easier navigation around the Con (I’m used to the madness of NYC Comic Conventions)  There was also a large seating/rest area (to take a break from the action), and we scored ourselves some cool swag to boot! I highly recommend attending next year’s Connecticon if you are into any of the above, it’s the little Con that offers a lot. Thanks for having us as your guests ConnectiCon 2012′! We’ll be back 

PS-Check out some pics from our adventure at ConnectiCon 2012′ below, and make sure to drop by Marshal’s podcast for even more coverage of the event.

See ya’ there folks!
