Massacre at Femur Creek Trailer

The trailer for the new indie feature film, Massacre at Femur Creek is finally here and you get to take a sneak peek into the shenanigans of this fun film, which is the feature version of the original short film by the same name.

Everyone worked really hard to do an amazing job in all departments. I was key hair and makeup artist and I was fortunate enough to play a role in the film too, that of Mrs La Chance, a weird owner of a gas station who gives advice to the young people who are on their way to the bachelor retreat.

It was amazing to work with so many amazing actors and crew.

The film is now is post production! I hope you get to see it and I hope you enjoy!!

Massacre at Femur Creek – Brand new Feature Film! … and there is still time to get on board and get yourself some movie credits!

About three weeks ago I had the pleasure of working as the Key Makeup Artist on the new local indie feature film, Massacre at Femur Creek, based on the short film of the same name in 2014 from A Henry Krinkle Production company. The feature is written and directed by Kyle Hytonen.

I also had a cool role in the film as Mrs Lachance, gas station owner with dark secrets to tell. Here are some of the BTS pics from the shoot.

We had so much fun it was ridiculous. We used several different locations both indoor and out. Some of the outdoor days involved hiking to “camp sites” in the woods carrying all our gear and fighting off bugs but everyone had a good time despite the challenges.

The production company held a fundraising campaign in order to cover costs and pay the cast and crew and the campaign is still up if you would like to contribute and get yourself some producer credits in the film. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/massacre-at-femur-creek-brand-new-feature#/

The cast and crew were just amazing, let’s just say, there were no “jerks” on this production, a rare thing today. I loved them all!

Look out for updates as the film heads into post production!

HAMILTON’S ROYAL HIGHNESSES

I had a great experience over the past couple of months, directing and editing a “pilot” for a TV series shot in Hamilton, Ontario. HAMILTON’S ROYAL HIGHNESSES tells the tale of a couple of princesses who find themselves far from home, trying to make their way outside of the glare of the royal spotlight.

Written and produced by Caroline Puzinas and Jennifer Ruth who play the royal highnesses, the cast features a talented ensemble of local actors who bring great comedy chops to the project.

I look forward to seeing what comes next in the lives of these displaced royals.

In recent weeks Ouija Shark 2, from the pen of writer, director and actor John Migliore and out of Survival Zombie Films productions and Wild Eye Releasing, has been playing to excited audiences in Tokyo, Japan. They absolutely love it !!!

Between the fans and the Japanese distributor they have been having a ton of fun at all of the 5 showings that have already happened there. There are at least 4 more showings still to come.

All kinds of merch and fan art has been created to stir up the hype and excitement, including t-shirts, cushions with John’s character’s face on them, hand held fans depicting the “mystic shield” from the movie, full face masks with John’s character’s face on them, buttons with my character’s face on them, and beautiful anime art depicting characters from the film. SZF has also produced a series of digital trading cards for all the characters in the movie. Pictures of some of these are below.

Ouija Shark 2 has also made its European Premiere at a festival in France. A wonderful review came after the screening and I am well pleased with the comments regarding my performance from the reviewer.
