Hey friends and fans,

Well I just became one of the few souls living who has seen the soon to premiere zombie/romance/comedy from Louisville, KY "DEAD MOON RISING". The film will debut to the masses this coming weekend at the Cine-Fest at Jefferson Community Technical College. The film will show on Friday March 30 at 8 pm and again on Saturday March 31 at 5 pm. I plan to be there for the Saturday showing to help support the cast and crew.
Admission is only $5 so I advise all of you to come out and see it!
WHY SHOULD YOU SEE IT?

A: Because it's a fun movie, you're guaranteed to laugh!

B: It's a zombie film and who doesn't love a zombie film?

C: It's got a 6 foot bisexual Amazon blonde packing a shotgun, a revolver and a samurai sword!

D: It was filmed in and around downtown Louisville, Kentucky...home of Muhammad Ali, Hunter S. Thompson and at one time...Scientologist posterboy and International film star Tom Cruise!

E: In one scene there are 500 zombies fighting 600 bikers in a mosh pit from Hell!!!

F: It has a 2 minute long french kiss between the two female leads.

G: A lot of gut munching!

H: It has the gun that Jesse "I Ain't Got Time To Bleed" Ventura used in Predator!! Imagine Jesse shooting that badass mo fo at a sea of zombies.

I: And most of all, watch it to see me in my big screen debut as the unforgettable, lovable Hunter S. Thompson zombie. My death scene made it into the film. When Jim mows down the swarm of zombies with the mini-gun towards the end of the film, look for me in my white fisherman's cap, Aviator glasses and white and blue 70's shirt get my insides splattered all over the screen. And look for my name in the credits as Hunter T. Zed!!!

Dead Moon Rising is a step above the majority of first time directed, low budget horror films that you will see today. Mark did a great job putting this thing together. One highlight especially are the effects, not bad for an amature effects guy.

I am going to go out on a limb here and say that DMR is probably the best film you're gonna see at Cine-Fest. So if you can, get that five dollar bill out of the nearest ATM machine, drive on down to the festival and prepare yourself for the most important Louisville based film since Michael Mann's "THE INSIDER". Let's all try to put "DEATH TUNNEL" behind us if we can.

I almost forgot to mention this. Due to pressure from the geniuses in the marketing biz, Mark settled on using photographs of the actual actors for the DVD cover and had to omit using my original artwork for the film. However he wants to put the artwork on the DVD in a special feature section along with some other artwork of mine. (But note, Mark did use the layout from my drawing for the photograph version of the cover so it is still my design) I was told that Mark really wanted to use my drawing but he was told that the the cover needed "FLESH"...so bad news for Hunter T. Zed...but at least Mark is throwing me a bone and giving me this space on the DVD special features so a big thanks goes out to him for his generosity since he could have just dropped me completely. Also, and don't hold me to this...but Mark, Jason and I are in talks about releasing a GRAPHIC NOVEL adaptation of the film with myself doing the art and script. If this is something that sounds cool to you, let me know because we are counting on fan enthusiasm to give us the "ALL SYSTEMS GO" on the project. If you would want to see yours truly produce and release a DEAD MOON RISING comic book then let us know. It's not final, but it is something we are seriously working on.

You forgot to mention those lovely limo ladies in the last scene.
Mark, can they be in the sequel? Please?

Oh yeah, watching those girls wash some motorcylces was a highlight of the day. Don't tell my wife...lol.

I tired to get Mark to write me in that scene with the limo and ad the bike wash. I figured I made out with most of the women in DMR, whats a few more?! Thats when Mark slammed the limo door in my face... Commie.

SPOILER from the Bizzaro world.

New (fake) ending




INT - LIMO

Dick
Oh my gosh, that's horrible!


Girl #1
They're ripping those people apart.

Girl #2
Eww, but wait, that one guy, he's..he's

Girl #1 (in awe)
A blood covered Adonis. I must have him.

Girl #2
No. We ALL must have him.

Dick (pissed)
Hey! Remember who you're with!!


Girl #1, Girl #2, and others
Not anymore!!

They open the LIMO DOOR and shove Dick out as JIM hops in.


Girl #1
Let's get outta here!

Limo drives off as Dick stands there shaking his fist after it.


Dick
Freakin' Looo-is-ville.

Dick is buried under attacking zombies as we pan back to departing limo.

Fade to black.

That is perhaps the greatest ending in all of moviedom! I love you Bob... Please put me in your movies...
