DISTORTION - Pre-Production #2


Ben Bachelder & David Lytle of Baked Mind Films

Hello all, been a couple of days and things are really getting down to the nitty gritty. Last night I spent a couple of hours talking to my camcorder to do the first Video Interview. Ever try doing an interview with yourself? It was funny as hell, could not keep a straight face, let alone, get my lines down. Worked on till 2:00 am. Think I'll put up a bunch of it for laughs. Just basically doing an intro to Behind the Mind and what we hope to accomplish with this Documentary.

Final casting is happening this week. Have a couple of players for the final roles, that should work great. I reshaped the script a bunch in the end to give it more bite. We have a stunt crew working on the script, if we can implement a couple of good stunts into the film. Had to work hard to create scenes that would make sense and be amplified buy stunt work. Think I pulled it off well. The location of the main part of the film is my house ( My Wife is thrilled ) wait till she sees the splatter of blood on the wall for the opening scene, probably end up sleeping in the backyard for a while. It's not small, but it's not all that big, yeah.. that's how I'll play it.. Till we shoot it. Then bigger the better.. OOps, probably should erase this part. NAAA.

The basic premise to the film is as follows...What if you woke up with total and complete amnesia. Not knowing where you were, who you were, and why on earth you had a gun in your hand. Add to the mix that you are bleeding from a wound to your head and the power is flickering on and off from one of the worst storms in the cities history. There are moments of complete light only intermittently, making you have to dig through the amnesia and the darkness to find out just what happened. Add a dead body to the mix, with a bullet hole right between the eyes and your pulse is racing now. All this would be bad enough... What if your weren't alone in the dark?That's all ya get... I'll be posting an edited version of the Video Introduction by Friday night. Wasn't able to film the last couple of lines. You know I truly know what a schizophrenic person feels like after the interview with myself. Oh well. Until Friday Night!!
