I'm Officially a Filmmaker (COME SEE MY HORROR FILMMAKING MOFO!)

Posted by EKublai - December 27th, 2018


I want to first again thank Newgrounds for always being that creative outlet throughout my younger years. I may be older, but NG has contributed a great deal to my creative health.

And this is where it’s led me:

— I’ve been trying, trying, trying to figure out what to do about you fools. I still have one flash movie y’all haven’t seen… I haven’t worked on that thing in 5 years. But I’ve kind of moved on from animation sadly, and kind of just became “that writing guy”.

But finally, finally, finally, I have something worthy of posting and trying to get everyone riled up about again. And it’s this:

(Already sold? You can help immensely by liking Bump in the Night on Facebook)

This is Bump in the Night: The story of a husband and wife moving into their newly bought home, a former fraternity house. But as the husband calls in to say his flight won’t be making it the first night, the woman finds herself alone, with a growing feeling that whatever frat party was last thrown here… may never have actually ended.

That’s right. I’m writing and directing a short horror film. That’s not to say that I haven’t made movies before or even horror movies. But this is the first time I can say, without question, this is GOLLY-PUKIN REAL JONES FILM. Pulling out all the stops and I hope you all enjoy the journey I’m about to take you on.

An original script. Real Locations. Ambitious special effects. A crew of 15.

We’ve already shot five days of this thing, and we’re set to shoot five more in mid-January. I’m going to post some behind the scenes stuff on here. I'm super excited guys. I really, really hope you enjoy. Thanks for being here for me.

That's awesome! I love supporting other indie filmmakers. I'll definitely be following this one.

Thanks! If you ever have any projects of your own, I'd love to see'em

I'll keep an eye out! Best of luck to you, dude.

Thanks!

>a horror musical
None of this sounds the least bit interesting to me but uh...good luck. lol

Musical Horror, but you probably wouldn't be interested in why that matters anyway! Thanks for the luck, bud!

With tracking between sites disabled FB embed don't show hmm... wish they'd do something about those unethical practices of theirs, but the thumb does seem intriguing! And that's awesome news! Best of luck with this, and glad you're still around too, foolish as it might be. :P

Thanks. I chose a pretty generic thumbnail IMO, but I'm glad you like it. I'll post some of the more interesting shots so I don't have to rely on FB's embed.

@M0nk3m4n @EKublai I didn't figure there was much difference. lol
Anything "musical", it just will not work for me. Believe me, I've tortured myself trying for ages.
However if it's not AS musical...as a full-fledged "musical"...then it might be alright for me.

Definitely not a musical in the way you're thinking. It's slightly more musical in the way that Hereditary's use of piano wire is musical ;)

@EKublai Thanks for the offer. The trailers for features and a few short films are all on my YT page. https://www.youtube.com/decadesapartproductions
