PROJECT X Is moving forward.

Award winning writer and director Michael B Clark is calling on Hartland to lend a hand in making movie magic.

Hello Hartlandians,

If you have been keeping up with our latest film project I have some encouraging news. First off, we have found our title, PROJECT X will now be known from this day forth as LUMBERJACKED. Let it be written, let it be done.

Team Scallywag met Sunday for the first of many pre-production meetings and I am happy to say things are off and running. We have assembled a crack team of film makers and are in the process of hammering out some contracts with a few names you may of heard of. We are very happy to have landed veteran movie SF make up artist Daniel Phillips to create our lead boogieman and handle all other aspects needed to make a good scary slasher flick.

Dan has just returned from downunder where he spent two months working on XXX XXXXXX (sorry we can't say the name due to contractual obligations between him and Peter Jackson, but lets just say it will be one of the biggest films of 2012- 2013).

And I also can't say that he worked on XX XXX XXXXXXXX but rest assured it will make over a billion worldwide when it is released. I think I made my point here, Dan is the real deal when it comes to movie make up.

To play our ax wielding madman? Well rumor has it that our very own Michigan native UFC hall of famer and retired NWA and WWF superstar wrestler is on board. You know who that could be? Leave me a comment on this blog and I will neither confirm or deny it.. Sorry, sneaky business this is... But when all things are official we will make the announcement.

So I keep saying we will be calling on you.. the readers.. to lend a hand. This is so true and you can help play a crucial role in the making of this film/game/app.

LOCATIONS!!! Is the first rally call.

WOODED LOT 

This short film will be taking place at night in the woods where a group of teen campers run into old Jacque Laracruix ( aka the Lumberjack). Do you or a family member have a vast tracts of land? Do you have 3 or 4 nicely wooded acres?  Does this land have access to power? ( not a deal breaker but will avoid sound issues of running generators all night). Would you just love a film project invading this area for a week? Would you be proud to say " Hey that movie was filmed right in my backyard?" If so, please drop me an email at mclark@scallywagentertainment.com

LOG CABIN

Do you have access to a very simple small log cabin? The smaller and more rustic the better. The final scene will take place in the Lumberjack's lair and will need 2- 3 days of filming there. Ya got something like that kicking around the area? if so drop me an email.

Now before you start to see dollar signs in your eyes, remember this is what's called a micro budget film. Unless a suitcase of money lands in our laps we will doing this on a ramen noodle budget. We are looking for help for the love of creating some new and original. 

I would love to film as much of as this I can right here in Hartland but if your location is not in the township please don't let that stop you from contacting me. The most important thing is what's best for the film.

I will have more updates in a week or so and I will explain how you can help us get this project funded.

 Until then.
