Our friend, the mysterious Mr. Lobo, is putting together another season of late night horror/cult/fun-time Cinema Insomnia and could use a kickstart. For all you RVA readers that grew up loving ELVIRA, bad vampire, giant insect, space alien and/or cheesy monster movies, you will love this stuff. Taking public domain movies and adding his trademark wit to the mix is what makes this checking out.
We want to produce 26 brand new full episodes of Cinema Insomnia for the 2011-2012 season as a Celebration the 10 year anniversary of the show. We produced this many shows in a season before so we know we can do it.
We will gather films, materials, and clearances for each episode, write all the shows, cast additional characters and book guests, rehearse the material, set up a studio with lights, camera, sound and schedule several shooting dates per week until all studio segments are done, travel to locations for additional material and interviews—import all the footage and edit the shows, deliver one show per week to my distributor for air on independent stations across the country starting Spring 2011 and eventually released by Apprehensive Films on DVD and other formats for home viewing.
The $10,000 raised will give us an extra $384 per episode to help pay cast and crew, and also help cover travel expenses, props, costumes, new video and audio gear and allow us to have a slicker package of new episodes for our 10 year celebration! - Mr. Lobo
