Athena Wraps on Mutantville Mondays!

Matthew Ewald is sad to see Athena come to an end.

MVP had another crazy weekend on the set of Image Impact Group’s Athena.  Production began at the beginning of October and continued through the Halloween season – only now reaching completion in the week following Halloween.  Aside from a handful of inserts that need to be picked up, principle photography has been completed.

Director Robert W. Filion has been cutting the film together during the course of production and should have the first rough assembly ready in a matter of days.  Mutantville Productions would like to send out a round of congratulations to Image Impact Group, Greysun Productions and to the wonderful cast of Athena which consisted of Matthew Ewald, Vanelle, Patrick Keenan, Tommy Allen Taylor and Michael Melendez.  For more information on Athena please visit the official fanpage here.

G.H.O.S.T. Team Gets Back To Where They Once Belonged!

Mutantville Productions is headed back to the set this week as the new shooting schedule for “G.H.O.S.T.” begins in earnest!  Principle photography was completed in November, pick ups were filmed over December, and the first assembly was completed over the winter holiday.   After the first cut came in at a healthy 47 minute run time  – producers Brent Bowers, Geo Blalock and writer/director J.T. McRoberts decided to invest in shooting some new scenes to expand the short film into a full length feature.  After weeks of heavy work on the script for new scenes – the pieces are set in motion and MVP is on it’s way back to the set.

This week – we stop at a local bookstore where the fans will have a chance to meet and greet the one and only G.B. Cunningham from “G.H.O.S.T. “  Actors Dave Tunik and Davis Osborne are excited to head back to the set to bring the new scene to life.   Filming on these additional scenes will continue through the few months and is expected to conclude in April.  Keep watching Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!

G.H.O.S.T. Post-Production Going Strong!

Principle photography on G.H.O.S.T. ended two weeks ago – but you would never know it on the Mutantville Mothership.  The producers have been hard at work keeping the websites updated, shooting pick up shots, designing posters, and editing the actual movie.  The first assembly is coming together and we couldn’t be happier with the results so far.  We keep producing new promo posters so keep checking here and on Facebook for the latest designs.  Be sure to add your feedback so we know which posters people like.  Speaking of posters – here’s a strong early contender for final poster status.  It’s a simple still shot taken during filming – but it says everything about the project in one powerful image.  What do you think?

G.H.O.S.T. Finale Ends With Whimpers And A Bang.

Make-up FX Maestro Todd A. Britt brings another ghostly creation to life during the wee hours of the night.

Last night, Mutantville Productions wrapped principle photography on G.H.O.S.T. after a long fifteen hour shoot.  Kathy Sandvoss earned her final Scream Queen stripes and Super Diva status by battling her way through another challenging shoot.  Thanks to our good friend, couture designer, Luis Machicao for lending his tremendous talents in supervising the filming of his costume designs for the finale of the movie.  Lead actor Scott Thomas persevered another bloody and bruising shoot to bring our central ghost to life.  Clint Jones showed his horror heart by enduring several make-up sessions.  Dave Tunik gave his all in taking another bloody bite out of his role and a gelatin prop.  Jason Wheely gave a heartwrenching performance as a haunted young TV producer.  Jack Stecher pulled out all the stops to give a bravura performance as the crazy caretaker of the opera house.

Special thanks goes out to MVP’S own maestro of make-up FX – Todd A. Britt for bringing all of his Sith talents to bear in creating several macabre make-ups over the course of the fifteen hour marathon.  Additional thanks goes to Sylvia and Sierra for lending their talents to the make-up department by resurrecting our supernatural visitors once more.  Thanks again to Allan Whitley for toughing out another long night to lend a strong hand and keep our boomstick steady for another night.  Special thanks goes out MVP’S own Costume Diva, seamstress and assistant to Mr. Machicao, Angela Pritchett  who although unable to attend our final shoot due to schedule conflicts, put in many a long night on the set of G.H.O.S.T., lending her considerable costuming talents to help bring the production to life.  Thanks to John R. Sexton for putting on a layered performance as Grandfather last month.  Thank you to Kayli Tolleson and her mom Janna for lending their talent, energy and support to G.H.O.S.T. over the course of the shoot.  And last but not least a very special thanks goes to my mom, Momma Streebo, for being a beacon of strength and inspiration to me over the years and for dusting off her sewing machine to create Johnny Reb’s jacket in whole – mere days before the first shoot.  And to anyone that helped that I may have overlooked here, thank you for your help, we could not have done it without you all.  Thank you.

This project has been an amazing journey and I thank you all for sharing it with me.  Production may be complete – but post-production begins immediately as we will continue with editing, sound design and shooting final make-up FX shots of the movie.  Be sure to keep tuning in to Mutantville.com and Mutant TV for your up to the minute news on G.H.O.S.T., C for Chaos, and MVP.

After another long session of editing, our intrepid adventurers Streebo and Brento strapped on their thinking caps and did their best to come up with a few more poster and shirt designs for the promotion of G.H.O.S.T..  Our plan is to come up with as many as possible until we find the right combination that everyone is happy with.  Of course as with most things – the first are usually the best – but we will keep trying until we find that magical combination.  MVP has bigger battles to fight at the moment as we are marching towards our final date with destiny in front of the camera for G.H.O.S.T..  This Saturday marks the final day of principle photography on G.H.O.S.T..  Stay tuned to Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!
