Slowing down

When we first started our "Untitled Resident Evil" project page on Facebook, there was a rush of "likes" coming in, but now about a week in, it has slowed down. It makes sense for the fact that all of our facebook friends that are interested in this project liked it, now we need to reach out to those who overlooked it, and that are not on our friends list.

On that note; once again, it'll be pretty cool if you all go to Untitled Resident Evil Project and like the page. We've got 54 people so far. What that means is that when I post on that page it'll show up on your wall (along with all your other friends' posts, statuses, etc...) and it'll be added to your favorite movies too.

You don't have to be a Resident Evil fan to like the page.
 But, the more people that like the page, the more likely we'll get views when we actually film our movie and post it on the official facebook page (and the more likes, the more "established" the project will seem to outside people who don't know me or are not familiar to A Strike to Burn Productions at all). Plus we're probably going to be filming (one way or the other) at the old, semi-abandoned Middle School / White Pine in Leslie, so that'll be pretty cool. We're going to need need a few zombies. We've made zombie movies (and attempted to make more than we've succeeded in doing) in the past, and we've found that the hardest thing is actually finding zombie actors. So, if you want to be a zombie (or know someone who might), I'll try to make it worth it: free donuts, coffee, special thanks, heck--even a co-producer credit for that matter.

If we make a viral short film half as good as Murder Inc. and Animus and just slap on the title "Resident Evil," chances are we'll get thousands of views. But the truth is, we're going to make this our most ambitious project ever . . . and that's why we're doing a viral campaign so early. However, we need your help to build up its awareness--that means telling your friends that either a) like zombie movies, video games, or specifically Resident Evil; b) want to break into film making and/or acting and thus this will be a way to get involved and understand the process of independent, backbreaking film making; c) want to be involved with something that certainly will get close to a million views if (with mostly "thumbs up" on YouTube) we get the support that we need to achieve the success that we deserve. 


We would appreciate any support we can get. While you're at it, go check out some of our videos and tells us how you like 'em! http://www.youtube.com/user/STRIKETOBURN1
