I’m trying to access the page on instagram but it’s not loading. Is there another way to make contact with you?

Sounds like fun, and good luck! Have you looked into this year's "48 Hours of Hell Film Challenge" at Denton? My nephew did one last year and it was a lot of fun!

Wish you much success. I know it's a passion project with no pay, but make sure your cast and crew are fed and hydrated. You're in high school, so it's that is not the easiest task, but starting out as a filmmaker with an ethos that provides a bare minimum to those bringing your vision to life means a lot. I'm sure if you update or make another posting closer to the start, people will be glad to help support.

This is great. Best of luck to you. Hopefully you get to try out the brand new state of the art AV studio they will have in the CTE being built.

Love to hear it. I don’t have an Instagram but let me know if you post on MySpace. Jk.

I see your comment about better equipment. Worth hitting up Collin County College to see if they have anything they could lend out or give you. Just a suggestion.

My favorite all timey cheesy & low budget-esque but scared the hell out of me as a kid horror movie is Pumpkinhead.

Will it be alright?.

I don't fit any of the character profiles (I'm far too old) but just wanted to say it sounds like a fun project to get you kids out to do something creative and productive. Hope you make great friends, learn a lot, stay out of trouble (and the heat), and have tons of fun ... Good luck!
