Slaughter is the Best Medicine was shown to two test audiences last week, a total of 90 people, and received a great deal of positive feedback. Minor changes based on critical appraisal by the attendees will be carried out over the next few days and the finished article will be sent out to festivals and distributors over the next few months. We'll keep you posted. Below is some of the feedback so far: "Funny, tense, thrilling, scary, all in one! Good times!" "Thoroughly enjoyed the film - film is a major step forward for Stickmen Pictures." "Didn't feel like a one-hour thirty film, which was a very good thing." "Wouldn't have thought that this was low budget. Plot really good. How did you think it up!" "Fantastically well put together. Well done." "Excellent!" "As a genre I do not generally watch/read, it was entertaining." "It punches well outside it's weight class... It is unbelievable that it has been zero budget." "It's like Tarantino meets Predator, without the alien. Awesome!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jeff Seyler's amazing soundtrack is causing a buzz in the Slaughter camp. His ability to create the appropriate mood through music is a talent that we're very thankful for. The visual effects were finished last month and as the sound edit nears completion also, we felt it was the right time to release a trailer to whet your appetites. Let us know what the think. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Slaughter is the Best Medicine is in the final stages of editing. The no-budget team have been working furiously to complete the edit. Dan and Baldy are working hard to get the best out of the visuals and sound. In the meantime, Rishi's mind has spawned some short pieces based around the film that you may find amusing. Stay tuned; they're on the way! ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"It's a wrap!" Rishi's directorial transition from short films to a feature-length narrative, Slaughter is the Best Medicine, has been seemless and he has inspired the cast and crew to achieve something far beyond our zero budget limitations. Directors must cope with a great deal of pressure, but he approached the role professionally and with a great deal of energy. Having completed principle photography the work of post production has begun. The majority of mine and Rishi's time for the next couple of months will be spent in the edit suite and it's looking great so far. This is the first project that we have filmed semi-scripted, so having talented actors who can improvise has been key. The script has evolved based on their interpretations and their skill to ad lib has added a great deal to the film. Working without financial backing has focussed our efforts on solving problems in lateral ways. I used a makeshift steadycam with a mixture of success and spent many hours planning the shots with Rishi. Capturing the majority of the sound outside, Baldy and Laurence have sure had their work cut out for them. And Mick was an inspiration with his various ways to solve issues in genuine English-MacGyver style. My favourite was when he jump-started a range rover with tent pegs and his bare hands =:o ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Stickmen Pictures' first feature-length film, Slaughter is the Best Medicine, is now in pre-production. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
