  • Things have been Crazy, Really excited about this new film fund

    2012-12-05 11:52PM / 標準BLOG

    The last few months have been crazy.  Dealing with the bullshit, that I just do not want to go into, from our film gig in Minnesota has kept me somewhat busy.  On a more positive note, I am excited at the development of some new film projects coming together with some friends from Canada.

    The biggest development is the big film fund they are putting together.  I remember them calling and saying we just got $90 million.  So, now I have spent a month looking for projects for them to fund.  If you guys reading this have something, email me at mikedinetz@gmail.com and we can discuss your film(s).  At this point, they want things in the $750k-$5mil range, ideally genre films.

    More news to come soon.

    I also see a trip to Hong Kong in the near future. 
  • Well, at long last, we are finally done the studio restructuring, welcome to Haunted Dreams

    2012-09-27 5:10PM / 標準BLOG

             As some of you might know, I have been working on reworking my company's image and structure. We renamed, reworked the corporate image and style, and had a new website made. To go with all of this, we did some new films this year, and have more on the way. We also are looking to expand our LA workshop maybe next month or soon after. Things have been crazy busy, which is why I have not posted a blog in quite some time. Well, check out the site (still tweaking a few things) www.haunteddreamsstudio.com and I hope y'all enjoy Haunted Dreams Effects Studio. 

     


  • Just got back from Atlanta

    2012-05-02 1:37PM / 標準BLOG

    I know I have not posted in months.  After the film in Nanhai, I headed back to LA for a week of rest.  Then I flew to Altanta, Georgia for 10 weeks on Demon's Rook, an awesome new horror film by James Sizemore, aka Loup Rah Garamore.  James and his team flew me in, along with Lisette Santana, an effects tech from LA, and my good friend Corey Ruby, from the Chicago area.  We had 10 weeks to build 4 demons, a ton of kills, body parts, 36 zombies, and much much more.  It was an intense job, with long hours, but every day was so so much fun and it was a joy to work with these people.  I almost wished it would never end.  Alas, I am now back in LA, with my stint on Demon's Rook complete.  I was unable to stay for actual shooting, but I got our crew through prep.  We actually made 92 molds.  That is an insane number.  Anyway, here is some of what we made.  I hope you all enjoy.

  • The torture is almost over, soon to be on the next job

    2012-02-05 2:16PM / 標準BLOG

    Our long shoot in Nanhai is taking its toll.  I have 7 more shooting days, and then I have to jet to Hong Kong to catch my flight back to LA.  The shoot has been tough, but the cast and crew are fantastic.  A special thanks to my team, Rayni, Tina, Style, and Louise, who have continued to power through.  The next few days will be full of blood gags and make-ups, so I anticipate long hours, and fatigue.

    On a lighter note, my big film in Atlanta got it's financing, so my flights are booked and I am off to Atlanta on the 20th.  I get to bring to people with me, so I chose Lisette Santana from LA, and Corey Ruby from Chicago, for my crew.  We will be in Atlanta for about 2 months, prepping with director, and effects artist, James Sizemore, for Demon's Rook.  It will be nice to set my own schedule again, and have some more creative and logistical control.  Hope to go to set for that one, but it might just be back to China in May for Electric Cherry.  When it rains, it pours, or so they say.
