BAD news, GOOD news, and Cast and Crew Party Feel-out
Well,
As I recently reported, I had an unseen and unfortunate loss of some footage from the more recent shoots of Dead Man Working. I sent the drive out to get recovered and yesterday upon arriving to Los Angeles, I received an email that confirmed, a great deal of footage was lost forever!!!!
-I lost a very informative interview with Maitland McDonough
-I lost footage of a TV Show similar to "The View" that was to appear within the movie
-I lost my opening zombie sequences!
I'm rather upset, but there is no time to relish in it. Plus, I'm a firm believer of the timing of things.
I have already begun putting together a shoot in two weeks, to recapture my opening sequences. I'd like to invite the actresses that appeared in pseudo talk show to participate as zombies.
My interview with Maitland, well, I will check with her and see if it is possible for a re-shoot.
Good News is an interview with zombie enthusiast and economist MC Taillard will be conducted this coming Tuesday in Omaha, Nebraska. I'm putting the final details and questions together for it. I wanted an economist interview from the very go, so I'm happy to have MC Taillard, join the panel of expert interviews.
I'm in L.A. for work at the moment and on my free time, you better believe I'm trying to score two more interviews! I'll let you know how that turns out.
As for the cast and crew screening of the film, I will be setting a final date for the beginning of April. I will hash out a date that will work and set it in stone once I get home.
Cheers,
L

What's been going on!
Hey All,
Happy New Year! I had a rough couple of months with DMW but everything is coming together for the best.
I had a drive failure around Christmas that would have been insane if I didn't have a back-up, so make that something to remember, alway have a back-up.
There's tons of new things going on; some new interviews, some more pick-up shots I needed and noticed while editing and a couple of new people joining the crew line-up.
Stay Tuned and I will keep this blog up to date as it all happens
Cheers,
L

Pick-ups, 1 re-shoot and interviews. Comedian/Social Critic Paul Mooney in the works!
This piece of news was so exciting, I almost sent it out last night-
Paul Mooney will be sitting down with us for a brief interview mid-September for DMW.
I don't need to give this man an introduction...but let's just say he wrote for Richard Pryor, and gave a lot of new comedians at the time a shot, like oh, I don't know, Robin Williams, John Witherspoon and Sandra Bernhard to name a few.
He wrote for "In Living Color." He more recently wrote and guest starred on the Chapelle Show, you know, Dave Chapelle...
I had my people (me...) contact his people and was happy to hear he enjoyed the idea. I've been a fan of Mooney's comedy and writing, before I even knew he wrote it; my father was a huge fan of Redd Foxx and Richard Pryor and he introduced me to Paul Mooney's name after I had seen the work.
What do I like about his work, well I like that it doesn't even seem like he's tries to write, it just flows out of his mouth, his critique is more observational and right on the nose at times, it's scary and altogether funny.
I'm very much looking forward to hearing his commentary. Stay tuned for more news!

Bruce LaBruce Interview will appear in DMW.

| Dir. Bruce LaBruce |
This is a big deal for me. This is what initially sparked my interest in making Dead Man Working, so I can attribute and happily say Bruce LaBruce played a huge role in my creating this concept.
His first zombie film Otto; Or Up with Dead People is a 2008 Canadian/German queer cinema horror film; As far as I am concerned the first of its kind.
In my research for this project I have yet to come across anything that stepped into this realm.
He followed this project with L.A. Zombie, about an alien zombie sent to earth in who f*cks the dead back to life....crazy sh*t right? You can only imagine my mind being blown away, thinking, "um, I'm afraid of zombies, why do people want to shag them?"

Anyhow as I am now into the mid-stages of postproduction I felt it was time to take the interview out and put it to use. I also share this footage with french filmmaker Angelique Bosio, who was filming a documentary on LaBruce while we were on production. The documentary is called, "The Advocate of Fagdom."
