"What is this?"

[Carnivol]

What is this?
This is a sub-forum dedicated to the on-going movie projects at REFanFilms.com. Feel free to ask questions or leave comments in here or simply make a new thread in this sub-forum.

Who are REFanFilms?
REFanFilms is short for Resident Evil Fan Films and is a group of movie makers (ranging from actors to technicians), mainly fronted by fronted by Jerome Chagnon (better known to most as imacwesker here on The Horror is Alive or simply as Wesker - the webmaster of Survivhor.)

For a full list of cast & crew members of REFanFilms, and their active projects, along with a brief introduction and mention of some of their past ventures, please see the Cast & Crew List.

What are REFanFilms currently working on?
REFanFilms currently has two active/publicly announced projects. The first is their 1.5 Movie Trailer project, which aims to create a live action movie trailer based on the unreleased prototype version of the game that evt. got scrapped, redesign, and turned into the early 1998 video game release Resident Evil 2. Lots of footage for the trailer has been shot, but it'll all ultimately be edited and cut down to a trailer length feature, which will be released this coming Halloween.

Their other movie project is called Patient Zero and will be a short film set in the Resident Evil universe, putting light on their interpretation of the creation of the very first zombie.

Sounds awesome! Can I help?
Yes! In fact, there are many ways for you to help!

1. Help spread the word! The more the merrier!
2. Donate! Making movie productions is hard work!
3. Like them on Facebook and follow them on Twitter!
4. Become a recognized project affiliate and supporter!
5. Help translate their productions into language that aren't English, French, Spanish, Danish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Hungarian, or Italian! Those are the languages currently covered for their movie projects, but if you're an experienced and professional translator, one who who doesn't mind doing a few pieces of quick 'n' free charity labor, by all means consider getting in touch with them and give a hand when the time is drawing near.

Thank you for your support, to all of you. I really appreciate it

Edit: XFactor won't be able to work on my project but that's OK, because I have found other talented people. Thank you all for your help, you have no idea what it means to me, to be helped and supported by the RE community

[imacwesker]

Thank you

A quick note to let you know that the release date of Patient Zero has been delayed from June 2011 to Fall 2011.

The reason is that there are more than 50 clips that need to be worked on, to add some visual effects. And this amount of work can't be done in a couple of months, if you throw in college, work and social life (what is that?).

Sorry about this bad news but as you can see below, it is all for the best

well as long as its good take all the time you want man...personally i would love to see your take on the resident evil series better than andersons

[imacwesker]

Well, I have 2 scripts done, one for a long feature of RE1 (very close to the videogame) and one for RE1.5/RE2 (more loosely adapted as we don't don't know much of RE1.5 storyline).

The "RE fan" part of me want to shoot both but the "realistic" part of me knows that Capcom will never sells me the rights to do it - or, let me rephrase this, I will never be rich enough to be able to afford the rights to the RE series.

And the RE1.5 Trailer and Patient Zero experiences taught me to never, ever again, try to work on a movie I don't fully own the copyright. The ratio time involved/whatever-you-get-in-return is just not worth it.

So, I will stick with various kind of monsters for my next movies, but nothing RE related.

[Shadow Stalker]

So ... are you saying you have given up on the project?

[imacwesker]

Not at all. Just that spending 2 years on a 10 minutes movie that I can't sell is not a good business investment, that's all ;-)

[Shadow Stalker]

Oh okay then.

[Stars_g36]

Nice update there on July 4th I am excited to see this movie on halloween!

[imacwesker]

Hey guys,
I forgot to post here that Patient Zero's fundraising is coming to an end soon (in 3 days).
IndieGoGo is a way to fund raise independent movies and I will use whatever amount of money I'll get to improve the DVD - it will be release for Christmas.

As you can see by clicking on this link, there are many perks to gain, depending of the amount of your contribution. The most basic perk is that you will have your name in the credits of a Resident Evil fan movie, released on Halloween! How cool is that?

Thank you for your support, any help is greatly appreciated

[imacwesker]

Happy Halloween!
Patient Zero, my Resident Evil fan film, is online! View it in 9 different languages in the official website ( http://bit.ly/bO8Jzv ) or the Youtube account ( http://bit.ly/sU02kP ).
If you like it, link to it or upload it in your own blog/website/Youtube account, etc :-)
