What’s up with DEAD MOON RISING 2?
If you’re just in it for the articles, you may want to check out the one about Anubis Digital Studios and what we’re planning to do in order to turn filmmaking on it’s ear. Here’s the catch – I’ve asked them to hold the article until July 6. It’s not just that I’m a bastard, it’s just we have some MAJOR things coming and the Anubis Digital website will not be ready until then. But trust me, you won’t want to miss it:

BULLETIN:
 
Hey everyone! Jason Crowe here. First I wanted to say hello to all of my “Dead Moon Rising” friends. It’s been far too long since we have raised some hell in Louisville! No worries though, we will be back to zombie smashin and thrashin REAL soon.
 
This email is to ask everyone for some assistance. I have entered a contest in which I can win a leading or supporting role in one of After Dark Films “8 Films To Die For“. The Film is called “Perkins 14″
 
Out of a 1,000+ entries I have managed to rank 6th. Which is awesome. I just have to stay in the top 10 to get a chance at this. if I make the top ten then I will be flown out to LA to do some screen tests. After that everyone will vote AGAIN and pick the top 4 actors out of the top 20. The top 4 (2 men & 2 women) are in the movie!
 
You can help me by joining www.massify.com and voting for my audition at: http://www.massify.com/auditions/439
 
I would appreciate any support you can give. I really want to bring something back to Louisville. This would be a great opportunity to get people to notice who the hell we are out here in KY and show them we Kentucky folk can play with the big dogs.
 
Thank you to everyone for taking the time to help out. I really do appreciate it and I hope I can make you all proud. And please don’t hesitate to hit me up on myspace with any questions our comments. Thanks again!
 
Sincerely yours,
Jason Crowe

Fangoria Picks DEAD MOON RISING as Top Video of the month America’s premier horror magazine, “Fangoria,” picks DEAD MOON RISING as Video of The Month in the May 2008 issue. Using phrases like “…unlike so many recent DIY productions, it’s genuinely smart and entertaining,” “cleaver than you might expect, Poole maintains a perfect balance of humor and horror” and “Throughout the craziness, the cast gives their all…” the article devotes a good two-thirds of a page to a review by Dr. Cyclops, and awards DMR with a 3 out of possible 4 rating. I really want to thank the cast and crew of DEAD MOON RISING for all of their hard work, fantastic abilities and faith in my first independent feature film project. I couldn’t have done it without this wonderful team, and they deserve every word of praise that Fangoria granted us. A shout goes out to all the extras, too. You guys made the zombie scenes work, and we couldn’t have done it without you. If you don’t already subscribe to Fangoria, head to your local magazine seller and demand a copy today. If you haven’t seen DMR yet, just go to Netflix, Blockbuster online, and put it in your rental queue, or buy it from one of the many online retailers. Keep your eyes peeled for news of DEAD MOON RISING 2 – we’ll start shooting in Louisville very soon. Mark E.

DEAD MOON RISING 2 – Needs Barrett .50 cal Sniper Rifle

I’m the writer/director for DEAD MOON RISING, the zombie comedy shot right in downtown Louisville.  Our big finale was the huge Bikers vs. Zombie battle that had 1200 extras fighting in the street in front of Coyote’s.  We plan to top that record by a long shot soon.

I will be filming the trailer for DEAD MOON RISING 2 – THE SERIES, in April, and I need what every good zombie movie needs – big guns.

I would like to locate someone near Louisville, KY that wouldn’t mind letting us use a Barrett .50 Cal M89 or M107 as a prop in our movie.   We’re going to have a very hot girl act like she is firing it.  Obviously, we will not be firing a sniper rifle downtown. We’ll fake it.

We would give that person credit as “Armourer.”  You’ll also get to hang around with some of the hardest working and fantastic people in this region.  Other perks, too.

Shoot me an email if you’re interested.

Thanks!

BTW: We’ll be calling for extras, soon.
