The Unknown by WhateverProductions

So back in May of this year (2008), I entered another online contest. Massify.com held a competition where people could write their own pitch for a movie. The public voted online for which they liked best, after that people could audition online for the film that was picked. I decided to enter the audition phase, unfortunately I entered into it not knowing there was only a week left of voting before they picked the winner, an they had voting going on for about 3 months prior. So I posted the video, and within 24 hours I went from being in a position of about 800 or so, to the top 50. Within 3 days I was in the top 30. The contest ended before I could get anymore votes, but it was a great experience and I made some awesome connections.

This is the video that I entered into the contest, I had sat down, thought of the idea, wrote the idea out into a basic plot, and a storyboard in about 20 minutes. I ran over it with my nephews, and we shot the entire thing in about 2 hours. I took the footage, edited it, an uploaded it online that night. The story behind it is that I believe that the things that can't be seen, are even scarier than those that can be seen. My nephew half way through even asked me, "Uncle Tommy, what is it that is chasing us exactly in this movie?" my response to him and anyone else out there that is wondering, "It's whatever your mind makes you think it is, whatever is scariest, to you."

Take a look, enjoy, an lemme know what you think!
