What Happened to October?

We try to update this blog every week but somehow almost two months have passed. Thus, we'll try to update what the Monsters have been doing and get back on track with regular posts.

FAT MONSTER spent much of October on the Warner Bros. studio lot working on a pilot for a new series that will be pitched in early 2009. The episode starred Jeffrey Combs, Steve Hytner and Brian Thompson -- all consummate actors and wonderful pros to work with. Jeffrey is well known to film buffs as Dr. Herbert West from Re-Animator and also has played some of the most popular alien characters on the modern Star Trek series beginning with Deep Space 9. Seinfeld fans will recognize Steve Hytner from his role as Kenny Bania on that series and he's got an impressive list of credits in both film and television. Brian Thompson has played marvelous thugs and villains since the first Terminator film. His 6'3" frame and distinctive look got him the role as The Night Slasher opposite Sylvester Stallone in Cobra. 

Our short film "O2" was featured at the TALLGRASS FILM FESTIVAL in Wichita, Kansas in October and writer/producer Mark Johnson gave a Q and A session at the historic Orpheum Theater to a full house. 

Shooting was completed for the final scenes of our Iraqi war film. The project is currently being pitched to several networks and producers with very good responses so far. 

We finally got to shoot the long awaited music video for the band MIGGS. The song for the video is "Perfect", which has been getting tremendous airplay nationally. The video was shot with two RED ONE cameras using anamorphic lenses. 

In addition to all of this the principals of FAT MONSTER FILMS attended the Dooley County Pig Jig in Vienna, Georgia where we were pressed into service on the Prime Time Swine championship barbecue cooking team:
