Since we’ve reached the end of the first cut of G.H.O.S.T., let’s take a look back at the genesis of the project – beginning with Brento’s initial walk through of the opera house.

Last night saw the Mutantville Players return to the opera house once more for another round of pick up shots. Luckily we weren’t just shooting windows and door frames this week as we were able to suit up and get bloody for another cool special make-up FX shot. Alan Whitley out his boomstick down and picked up the latex to play the part of our supernatural visitor. Alan underwent a grueling 3 hour session at the hands of special make-up FX kingpin Todd A. Britt. The air was chilly but Alan’s spirits were warm under layers of silicon, tubing and buckets of blood as he brought our ghostly friend to unatural life! With this shot in the can – we have only two major FX shots left and G.H.O.S.T. will be complete. This Sunday, the Mutantville Players are heading to the green and grassy hills of South Carolina for our final pick up shots with two of our leads – Kathy Sandvoss and Scott Thomas. The journey to make G.H.O.S.T. has been an amazing one. It will be sad to see it all come to an end. Be sure to keep checking Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!

Mutantville Productions is proud to announce that today is one year and a day since we began planning what became G.H.O.S.T.. Tonight marks the final shoot of principle photography. We are very excited about how great the performances, FX and footage has looked so far. We couldn’t be happier. Better still is the fact that next week we all get to celebrate by being lazy and enjoying Thanksgiving with our families. See you all soon. Remember it wouldn’t be possible without you.

Last night heralded yet another amazing day of filmmaking on the set of G.H.O.S.T.. We had an absolute blast shooting all of the elements that make horror fun – chases, ghosties, and other supernatural occurrences. Kathy Sandvoss put on a bravura performance as our gutsy heroine enduring take after take and bump after bump like a seasoned pro. Jack Stecher brought all of his years of experience to bear to imbue our creepy caretaker with a life of his own. Clint Jones continued to put on a solid showing as the beleaguered Seth. Dave Tunik and Jason Wheeley were able to survive a grueling make-up session to bring an amazing sequence of supernatural terror to vivid bloody life. Scott Thomas had his moment to take the center stage and bring the spirit of our ghost into four colored action! Thank you to Sylvia and Sierra for coming out and lending their talents as make up assistants again. Props to our ever reliable boom stick operator Allan Whitley for his sure hand and attentive ear throughout the shoot. Thanks to Jeremy for lending a hand shooting the behind the scenes segments. Everyone would like to extend a hearty handshake to Anne Reid for lending her talents as a massage therapist to keep everyone relaxed and loosened up for the duration of the shoot. Thanks to everyone for staying late and toughing it out. We are on the home stretch now – with the end in sight. Next Saturday will mark our final major shoot on the production of G.H.O.S.T. and we couldn’t be more pleased with the results. This will be an amazing project and you will all be very proud of the final film. Thank you all – because without you – our movie wouldn’t be possible.

We had a rather productive day of filming this past Saturday – productive that is – until we were set to roll the cameras on our finale scenes when we lost all power to the opera house. We hoped it was nothing more than a tripped breaker or perhaps a blown fuse – but after three hours in the dark – we were worried that it was something a bit more serious. We sent the cast and crew home only to discover to our pleasant surprise – that the problem was indeed a blown fuse which was easily fixed. Before losing our power – we were able to shoot two scenes earlier in the day as well as an extended photo shoot featuring our full cast.
With help from assistants Sylvia and Sierra, our make-up FX expert Todd A. Britt was on hand to provide some amazing ghostly make-ups. Their make-up efforts were not lost as we were able to catch the supernatural victims in an exhaustive series of photos and promo shots. Expect to see those pop up as promotional posters somewhere down the line.
The producers of Mutantville Productions would like to extend a hearty thank you to our cast and crew. You all dealt with the delay like real professionals and we were able to make the best out of what was potentially a disastrous situation. Due to the set-back – we have extended the shooting schedule of G.H.O.S.T. to include November 14th and 21st – giving us just enough time to wrap before Turkey Day! Thank you all for everything you do. I look forward to seeing you back on the set for our finale this Saturday!

The final two weeks of production on G.H.O.S.T. are upon us. We are more than pleased with our progress so far. Everything has been outstanding. All of the cast and crew have risen to the occasion time and again and we can never thank you enough. When we developed the idea of what became G.H.O.S.T. way back in January over a basket of nachos and salsa – we never expected it would become as good as it has. With the rise of interest in the paranormal sub-genre with the blockbuster success of independent films such as Paranormal Activity – this can only augur great things for the future of G.H.O.S.T.. Thank you all for your hard work. We have some tough shoots ahead of us – but we know that we have the right cast, crew and courage to see it through. See you on the set, MVP.

Our intrepid heroes, Streebo & Brento, made a special trip across the skies of guerrrilla filmmaking to begin work on the editing of our latest short horror film – G.H.O.S.T.. Going into our first editing session – we had just under three hours of footage from the two weeks of shooting G.H.O.S.T.. We decided it would be a good idea to build the first assembly during production. This way we know if we need any additional shots or pick ups while we still have all of our cast available to us. It took us roughly five hours to pull the footage needed – but we’re all set and ready to go. We’ve already discussed editing possiblities and the angles we want to use. Next week – we’ll start building the first rough cut of the movie. Be sure to keep checking back for more documentary like updates as we continue the movie making process for G.H.O.S.T..
