Idea in one line:

“An eye for an eye or the calm before the storm”

Synopses

A female takes revenge for her violent rape, killing those that where involved with her humiliation.

Style:

Like all my work I have a dark fast paced style, I us natural light whenever I can and then build upon that in post production, my style has need compared to the work of Nico B and Brian Viveros, I tend not to over film scenes because they will become false I believe that everything should be filmed no matter how big or small it is and you will find that I use sex and violence in the most extreme ways to tell a story.

The sexually entrapment of Brian M. Viveros

Here is a section of art work by Brian M. Viveros.

Sexual Chocolate :: 2001

There is something childish about is work that leads the audience into an unknown world or into his world. His colour pallet reminds me of the old stag movies or nudie cutie films and this is the colour pallet that I will be working from for Dard.

“Before I’m dead”

I thought I should post the song “Before I’m dead” by the Kidney Thieves because it was what gave Libby the idea, there isn’t an official video for the song only fan made videos that use copyrighted images.

This video is by ForsakenLady

The art of violence

I have looked for a video or clip to show what it is I’m going to do with the violence but sadly there just isn’t any on YouTube. The clip that I would like to show is the last 10 – 15 mins of August Undergrounds Mordum but It would be taken down within seconds of being uploaded because of the violence.

Here are some still from August Undergrounds Mordum and other films by ToeTag Pictures. I hope this gives you an idea of the brutality that I am going for.

Interviews

8 min interview with Jörg Buttgereit. It’s taken from the film “into the mind of a splatter director”.

Another 8 min interview but this time with Jim Van Bebber talking about his work…it’s just funny to hear his point of view when it comes to appalling Grind-house films by Tarantino and Rodriguez

Update

Locations:

Opening (school or college)

The part of the production that will take the most to sort out is the opening for the film; this is because it’s set in a class room so we will have to get consent from a school to film there but also permission from parents because we will need the class to be filled with students.

The only other way to go with this is to set it in a collage but again we will have to sort out consent forms.

Over the week I will be going into my old school to speak with the head master about filming there, at the same time I will be getting in contact with my old collage teacher just as a backup.

The locations for the rest of the film have been locked.

Actors:

The three male victims have been locked so we are looking of a lead female.

Script:

The script is being worked over as I am writing this, so it should be ready to be uploaded in the next few days.

Affects:

Because the film requires practical affects I have employment another affects artist to work alongside me for free.  Over the next few weeks we will be uploading test shoots to see if the affects work.
