Charlotte Film Anarchists plan first meeting in May and more on Mutantville Mondays.
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.

Twenty Questions with Streeborama.
Streeborama loves you.
Well it’s not exactly twenty questions but it’s the closest we’ve seen in a while. Here at long last is Grant Dean’s interview with the man the myth the internet sensation they call Streebo. J.T.McRoberts is one third of the men behind Mutantville Productions and Mutantville.com along with Geo Swanko and S. Brent Bowers. Here’s everything you wanted to know about MVP but were afraid to ask.
GD:Why the ‘’mutant’’ reference in your company moniker? A big Scifi fan?
JTM: When we first formed what would become Mutantville Productions in 2003, I came up with a long list of potential names for the studio. I wrote out probably fifty different names – almost all of them having something to do with mysticism or martial arts or the samurai or something like that. Almost as an afterthought the very last name I wrote was “Mutantville.” Of course, when we’re going over the names – the one we gravitated towards was Mutantville. My partner in crime Brento (S.Brent Bowers) suggested “Mutantville Studios” but I knew right away that it had to be Mutantville Productions because then we could build the company taglines and myths around the initials “MVP” although that makes no sense because it should really be “M.P.”
Streebo duels Uncanny X-Men & Iron Fist scribe Matt Fraction at Heroes Con.
I am a big sci-fi, fantasy and horror fan but the root of the mutant obsession came straight from the X-Men. Chris Clairmont’s Uncanny X-Men was one of my favorite comics as a kid and doing homage to Marvel’s merry mutants made perfect sense to me. I always envisioned Mutantville as a company dedicated to all works of speculative fiction (as Harlan Ellison would say) – not just horror. Horror is simply the easiest genre to work with when working on a limited budget – or no budget as in our case. I do have scripts in the works for a superhero movie and also a sci-fi horror flick. Despite our tagline of “changing the face of independent horror,” we are dedicated to all the sub-genres of speculative fiction.

Johnny Brento’s Got Something to Say About G.H.O.S.T., Poster Design and Muticia the Movie Goddess
Hey all, your friendly neighborhood design guru couldn’t let uncle Streebo have all the fun on the Poster Tips video, so I’ve made a part 2. Check it out after the leap as they say.
What a month for MVP. So many things a poppin. The Mad Monster Party Film Fest which has thus far got a great response will be going live in 2 short weeks. Very exciting stuff and some very entertaining films I hope you all will make it out to see.
After that Monster weekend, we’ll be, at long last sneaking into Muticia’s Movie Morgue for the filming of the first episode on March 31st. If any of you MVP Players would like to help out on the set of what is surely to be a fun little show, please message Jamie McRoberts on Facebook!
I know I’ve mentioned it previously, but Holy Crap, is that score for G.H.O.S.T. Amazing!!!!! I can’t wait for everyone to behold it! Soon, my mutants. Soon!

It’s been another busy weekend for the Mutantville Players. We’ve spent another week tweaking and reviewing the final cut of G.H.O.S.T. as well as fending off a constant onslaught of requests from the cast for advance copies of the G.H.O.S.T. DVD. We’re still working hard to complete G.H.O.S.T. in addition to the putting the final touches on Indigo Child to complete the long awaited DVD construction of Tales From Mutantville.
With all of this activity going on – we’re going to have to leave you in the warm embrace of the glow from your PC screen as Mutant TV takes you across the globe and back for a look at all things happening in the world of speculative fiction. We have clips from The Walking Dead, Game of Thrones, the Alien prequel Prometheus, Guillermo Del Toro’s video game Insane, TV spots for Stephen King’s Bag of Bones and the latest trailer for the horror TV show – The River.
Check it all out after the leap!

G.H.O.S.T., Scarecrows and Things Oh My! Happy Halloween on Mutantville Mondays!
G.H.O.S.T. cast and crew gather for screening.
The Mutantville Players had another crazy weekend as we saw the fruits of two year’s worth of labor come to fruition. Saturday night while MVP was frantically working to complete work on the final cut of G.H.O.S.T. – another MVP project – Scarecrow At Midnight played across town at the Myers House NC Halloween Bash! Working through the night – MVP was able to get G.H.O.S.T. ready for the screening on Sunday.
Sunday all of our friends, filmmakers and fellow Players came out to celebrate the occasion with us by watching a program of horror including Michael Sharpe’s Deviling, Desdemona 6 from Last Call Pictures and MVP’s own G.H.O.S.T. Everyone came in costume and had an amazing time. There was plenty of beer, cheer and screams to go around.

Watch out, Elvira! Move over Miko Macabre! Here comes Muticia the Movie Goddess!
Mutantville Productions is proud to welcome the very lovely and extremely talented Vanelle to the cast of Tales From Mutantville. Vanelle has agreed to sign on as the horror hostess with the most-est – Muticia the Movie Goddess! The character of Muticia will play a large part in linking the stories of Tales From Mutantville together to create a true horror anthology in the tradition of Creepshow, Cat’s Eye and Tales From The Crypt.
The Mutantville Players have long been fans of Vanelle after first seeing her work in the short zombie movie See The Dead by director Robert W. Filion. Vanelle has starred in numerous genre productions including Mercy Kill, Psycho Holocaust, Exhibit A-7, and the upcoming Remnants. In addition to being an amazing talent in front of the camera, Vanelle is very active behind the scenes as a producer and even occasionally takes the reigns to write and direct for her own company Magic Tribe Pictures. She has directed two short films to date including Inheriting the Earth and Spades.
