The Irrelevant Musings of a Factotum

Night of the Living Deb - Feature Film!

5/30/2014

Hey everyone! 

I am so excited to announce that I'm heading up to Maine for a month-long filming process for a feature film!  It's a Zombie Romantic Comedy called "Night of the Living Deb" written and directed by Project Greenlight winner Kyle Rankin!

I am coming on board as a Stunt Coordinator (alongside my partner in crime, Nick Shuhan) as well as a Stuntman and will be playing a small role in the movie.

The movie is sure to be fantastic, I've actually been following the movie for a few months prior to getting asked to do the project as it is starring a couple of my favorite actors from TV and Film.  I first heard about it through the twitter account of David Krumholtz (Numb3rs, Serenity, The Santa Clause - IMDB page).  He announced he was joining the cast of a movie filming in Portland Maine, and my interest was officially piqued.  Then I saw the male lead was being played by Michael Cassidy (Argo, Men at Work, Smallville, The O.C. - IMDb page) and I got really excited.

A couple of weeks ago I got a call from my good friend and all around mentor/guru Mark Bedell asking if I was free to head to Maine to take part in a zombie project filming in Maine, and the stars aligned.  After talking to Kyle, talking to Nick, and reading the script, I can tell you that this is going to be an awesome project, and I can't wait for you all to see it!  Kyle's put together a fantastic team, and the script is absolutely hilarious.

To learn more about the film, and to contribute to its fundraising (every little bit helps make a better product!) visit its website at www.nightofthelivingdeb.com!

Below is some information on the Cast and Crew of this film as well as the AWESOME kickstarter video showing some of the effects we'll be using!

*UPDATE* Also a 207 interview with Kyle Rankin and Michael Cassidy about the upcoming film!
