Last night, Geo and I watched the remake--or more appropriately, the "re-imagining" [/sarcastic air-quotes]--of the Vincent Price classic House of Wax.

I . . . I don't know what to say . . .  )

I really, really need a good Jared icon. Anyone want to make one for me or point me in a good direction?

And it's about frelling time!

After four years of waiting and set-backs and more waiting, My Mummy, the movie Geo co-wrote, co-directed, and co-starred in, and that I worked wardrobe and costuming on, is now available for pre-order through Amazon.com.

In August of 2004, Geo and I spent a month of long hours in temperatures ranging from sweltering hot to freezing (not literally) cold, working loooooonnnnnngggggg (15+ hour) days shooting a little film inspired by a true local story. Shot completely in Dayton and New Carlisle, Ohio, this little project taught me a lot about the work that goes in to making a low-budget indie film. Some days went really well. Some nights I was so tired and frustrated I was ready to walk off the project and not come back. But in the end, we prevailed, and now we have a distributor.

The movie will be available in Hollywood Video stores, and I believe the director (and distributor?) is working on a deal with Netflix and probably iTunes as well. (Geo and JT's weekly radio show is available through iTunes right now. What? You didn't know Geo has a radio show? Weeeeellll . . . remind me to post about that in a separate entry.)

What it's about . . . )

The movie is not rated, but I'd put it at a PG-13.

One of the best things about the movie is the soundtrack, written by Tom Maxwell and Ken Mosher of the Squirrel Nut Zippers. They even gave us the rights to use their song "Hell." Probably the most fun night of shooting for me was shooting the night club scene, when, after everyone was in costume and I was done with them, I got to be an extra and spent the night dancing. Very, very cool.

So, anyway, there ya go. After four years of waiting, it looks like this is finally happening. I hope some of you check it out and leave reviews where you can (we'll have an IMDB listing by the time the movie is released in August. And there's always Amazon.com).
