Streebo meets the stars of RAGS - Vanelle and Rags.
Welcome back to another edition of Mutantville Mondays here on Mutantville.com. MVP began a busy weekend by hosting a screening of Krist Rufty’s RAGS starring Vanelle and John Foutz. The movie was a throwback to the bygone days of 42nd street featuring a grimy tale of meth addicts gone mad on a mission of revenge. RAGS featured strong performances from the cast, pitch black comedy and some of the most over the top FX you’ll see outside of a Frank Hennenlotter film.
We have a long busy Winter ahead of us as Robert W. Filion and Brento work feverishly to prepare Indigo Child for the upcoming Nevermore Film Festival. The month ahead will seem quiet as we work alone to put the finishing touches on several MVP projects including G.H.O.S.T. and the Tales From Mutantville anthology. in between all this work – we’re trying to recharge our batteries by enjoying the wild and wonderful world of speculative fiction in all of it’s guises.
Since it’s Mutantville Monday – why not take a journey through Mutant TV to catch a glimpse of the many and varied ways that MVP celebrates, relaxes and recharges. Check out the trailers for games, movies, comics and more below. Continue Reading…
This week I wanted to talk about something that I think some filmmakers miss out on. Networking! Unlike what some people think…it’s not synonymous with butt kissing. I think it is very important to get out and meet your peers. I spoke about this some in my last blog post about supporting other filmmakers. Meeting other filmmakers, supporting them, learning from each other can be very valuable. This is where helping others can also help you as well. If you volunteer on another set and see some equipment used you may not have used before or see a cool thing done behind the scenes or meet someone you become friends with or find new actors to work with, it’s worth it.
Networking has really helped us spread our circle of friends. We now know lots of actors, producers, directors, crew, editors, etc… Here are a few tips to assist you on your journey! After the tips I’ll discuss where to use them.
Mutantville Productions is embarking on a journey to shoot three short horror movies in October. We need your help in making this happen. Check out our page at Indie Gogo for more details!

In this video – reviewer Pizowell discusses the documentary Overnight – about the trials and tribulations of director Troy Duffy and his journey to bring Boondock Saints to the screen. This should be considered required viewing for all aspiring filmmakers and film students. Listen to Pizowell’s thoughts and then go and watch Overnight on Netflix as it is available for instant viewing.

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!

I’ve recently become aware of just how cheap some really rare horror flicks have become when sold within lots on ebay. Pennies on the dollar, People! We’re talking slasher, occult, gore, werewolf, vampire and zombie cinema that until now has not cross the radar of most people. Most of it seems to come from the late 70′s and early 80′s it seems and is typically only available on VHS. So you may want to rethink throwing out that old 4 head $39.95 from Wally world. It might just come in handy.
Being one to appreciate all old horror movies, particularly the ones I missed the first time around, I’ve decided to take a journey of sight and sound back to the VHS graveyard to unearth some hidden treasures or in some cases rotting corpses of cinematic ambitions never realized. I’ll be carrying along my camera. You will bare witness. Stay tuned to the Mutantville Youtube Channel.
