If I have bought and paid for the DVD or Blu-Ray, I will share it with whoever I like and there is nothing you or anyone can do about it, as I own the film.

Wrong you purchased a license to play the DVD or Blu-Ray disc on your player or pc, the license does not include uploading the content on the disc to the internet, you may back-up or lend your copy of the disc to a friend, you may not sell copies of the disc to other people.

With a digital file that would be Copyright theft if you uploaded the file to the internet then you still have your copy, and anyone else who wants it can make a copy as well.

Films cost too much or I don’t have a job and I only buy movies after watching them.

At the most extreme you are saying film makers should produce a film and give everyone a copy for free, do you see how that does not work?

Why would anyone produce a movie or any other creative work that cost money without making that back, in the real world not all movies are made in Hollywood and have budgets of millions of dollars/pounds, independent film makers live without backing from studios and work for a living and may never see a profit.

This is theft,  the only thing is that people have a distorted view of the world that all digital copies doesn’t count, it’s still the same as bootlegging, the film makers see no profits only the people violating.

By downloading and not buying new films and other media you condemn the world to films like SAW 8 and Hostal 4, and the music of  Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black  and Lady GaGa.

In the first issue of our new production diary we will be discussing some of our older production that have bitten the dust or have just proving hard to continue funding, and also a look at the upcoming movie Danger of Death.

1. DefCon
Just before filming stopped we ran into trouble over not being able to find suitable shooting locations within budget, and two of the actors unable to film there scenes midway into shooting, recasting the parts with two new actors was impossible, parts of this production will be used other films or shorts.

2. There’s Always Wednesday
This film was in it’s ninth draft and out on the indefinite hold list before filming even started.

3. Operation: Sweet Death
As some of you may know already know Operation: Sweet Death is now in pre-production with a fixed budget, with a opportunity to use an existing film franchise name worldwide, so the name for this production is using a place-holder name for the time being, Set in the aftermath of a nuclear power plant meltdown.

4. Danger of Death
This will be our last production released on DVD, as we move over to full HD workflow and Blu-Ray only releases, Danger of Death will have release a in December.

This is just a quick update about a few things on the website, first Maniac and Maniac The Revenge have both been digitally re-mastered from the original master tapes, the last edition were taking from a lousy u-Matic master and to say the image quality was questionable was a understatement, anybody who ordered the first edition on DVD will be sent a the two replacement disc in the next few weeks.

Our first 1080p HD film is just about compete, and we are about to start testing the Blu-Ray disc for compatibility, reading a few forums about the issue, it seems a lot of brand name players can’t play burned disc without encryption on the discs which is something we don’t have access to, so it seems that our first HD feature film may only come out on the DVD format.

A few weeks ago “Pop Hak” emailed us about a bootleg DVD from china called Death Cemetery which is a renamed copy of our film The Graveyard of Death which is infact just the workprint from disc two of the Limited Edition and not the full 96 minutes edition, so keep a eye out for that.

Nightmare of the Living Dead is just about finished too, a lot of video filtering has been done on the raw footage to improve visual quality of the film, just as with Zombie Ferox was our first test of this software, we hope to offer the best reconstruction of the film possible for the new DVD.

I will be trying posting once a week if i have the time, maybe with videos and photos from filming, i also have some new trailers that i never posted before which i will be uploading in the next few weeks.

The Graveyard of Death Part II will be released before march, the final cut of the movie was ready last year, but i never had time to remaster the audio into 5.1, and edit a few extras for the DVD.

I’ve been approached by a number of actors in my feature films for a snippet of their scenes to be used in their resume reels, It helps me to remember that my cast and crew are the real investors in my projects, I realize how much I owe them not just credits and meals, but the little extra work and a few blank DVD’s seems like a small cost, we like to accommodate them if possible.

It seems that a workprint of digital nasties film The Graveyard of death is
available to download from The Pirate Bay The worlds largest BitTorrent
tracker we have asked the site admin’s and uploaded to remove the file
from being downloaded, again we have ask and not told them to remove it,
being that the workprint, uploaded is only 40% complete and only runs 76
minutes not the full 96 minutes (25 FPS PAL), when the file is removed we
may upload the complete movie on the web but only after we have sold the
200 steel-tin box sets.

Just putting out a general call for artist willing to have fun! I’m looking for artist(s)
to help in poster work & DVD & VHS Covers kind of like 1980′s type video
art ie: Zombie Flash Eaters type art work I wouldn’t be able to pay them except maybe
on a deferred payment basis but they would receive credit on the feature film &
website.

If anyone want to help out just Email below and we can talk on messenger.
