The Charlotte Film Anarchists will hold first meeting in May.
Welcome back to another weird and wild Monday on the Mutantville Mothership. It should go without saying by now that it’s been a busy weekend for the Mutantville Players. Post-production has been ongoing for several projects including G.H.O.S.T. and Tales From Mutantville and we are set to shoot the final scene for Muticia’s Movie Morgue tonight! Tonight’s shoot will be interesting as it features a live musical performance from Absolute Zero with band members Brent Bowers, Todd A. Britt and Jeremy Mullis. The biggest event of the weekend was the sudden announcement and subsequent launch of the filmmaking mastermind group the Charlotte Film Anarchists.
The Charlotte Film Anarchists is a group founded by Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides and MVP co-founder J.T.McRoberts. The goal of the group is to provide Charlotte area filmmakers a chance to come together for a mastermind group once a month and talk to like minded individuals in the NC film industry. The Charlotte Film Anarchists is in no way meant to replace the existing group Charlotte Film Community – but rather to supplement it by giving actors and filmmakers that want to be more proactive a chance to meet and talk with others that have the same goals in mind.
What sets this group apart is the fact that there are no membership dues and no meetup fees. We are all struggling filmmakers that have to put so much of our own individual resources into our productions that at the end of the day it doesn’t always work out where we can scrounge up additional fees so we can simply meet and talk with our fellow filmmakers. Kill The Music author and Ghost Trek creator Michael Plumides started the ball rolling by finding a venue that would allow us to meet once a month to do our best to create positive proactive filmmaking partnerships.
Another Wednesday is here and of course that means another Johnny Brento’s JuJu. This time Johnny B talks G.H.O.S.T., DVD, Cabin in the Woods, The MVP Mutant Radio Podcast and loads of Mutantville News.
The past few weeks have been a flurry of activity for Mutantville with the launch of the long awaited MVP Mutant Radio podcast on iTunes! Be sure to subscribe for your monthly Mutantville fix and likely far more often than that if this week’s content is any indicator.
Tonight the crew swings back into action to shoot another scene for the inaugural episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue. Next week the performance from Absolute Zero will be film and epsisode 1 will be in the can finally.
Check out the video for the full Monty.

Tales From Mutantville shirt design from Fast Custom Shirts.
Happy Friday, mutants! Like the song says – everybody’s working for the weekend – and thank Muticia that weekend is finally here! This week – our good friend and favorite crazy injun Teeshirtjoe from Fastcustomshirts.com unleashed his design for the upcoming Tales From Mutantville t-shirt. Joe took our baroque EC comics inspired design for the Tales From Mutantville DVD and brought out all the little details to create a truly kick ass shirt design that is sure to hit big with all the little Mutants out there.
The MutantvilleMothership has been abuzz with activity over the past week as we’ve continued to screen a ton of great indie flicks for the upcoming Mad Monster Party Film Fest and have moved several projects through various stages of production.
Post-production continues as we work to get the final Tales From Mutantville DVD ready for the upcoming Mad Monster Party next month. The score is still being crafted for the final version of G.H.O.S.T. and as those projects wind down – others are picking up. The first episode of Muticia’s Movie Morgue looms on the horizon as does the launch of production on our proposed web series The Metatron Files.
Francis Ford Coppola set the mold for what an independent filmmaker should be. Over thirty years ago, he gathered together a group of his friends, grabbed the best cameras and technology that he could find, found money wherever he could and set out to create his movies – his way. Francis started his career with a guiding hand from Roger Corman and in turn helped launch the careers of many a young filmmaker such as john Milius and George Lucas.

Work for G.H.O.S.T. started back in January with the launch of the MVP Blog here at Mutantville.com and the beginning of intense pre-production on G.H.O.S.T.. The cast and crew put in many a long day and night throughout production during October and November and we’ve carried that level of intensity into post-production by shooting pick ups all through December. We started editing during the second week of filming and are finally nearing completion of the first assembly of G.H.O.S.T..
There is so much going on behind the scenes that’s it’s becoming increasingly difficult to keep producing timely updates in addition to doing the actual work. This has been an amazing adventure so far. The footage looks great. The performances were fantastic and the special make-up FX are spectacular. Just as it seems we’re nearing the end – we are in fact reaching a new beginning. It’s not official yet – but we are working on ideas for new scenes to shoot for the movie – to expand it from it’s intended half hour format into a full length feature! That’s right – we will still be able to cut G.H.O.S.T. down to a very tight half hour TV pilot s intended – but there is enough material there that with a few smart additions – we can expand the story a touch and turn G.H.O.S.T. into a full movie.
I’m so excited that I can hardly contain myself. While this is good news for us – it also means that this non-stop rollercoaster of work that we’ve been on since July will continue for the foreseeable future! Thank you all for your help in making this dream a reality. Everyone in MVP plays an important role and we couldn’t have made our movie without you! Keep checking the MVP Blog for more updates as they happen!
