Thursday, December 10: Fear Zone Strikes Yet Again!

Fear Zone goes out in style with Greg Lamberon's final review for the site, which just so happens to be our friend Nathan Wrann's mind-blowing film, BURNING INSIDE:

"There is an awareness of filmmaking as a storytelling medium at work here that you will not find in a multiplex"

"A wholly original and daring piece of cinema."

"It's rare that acting, cinematography and editing work in such perfect harmony to create something this unique."

"Highly recommended to lovers of smart films."

Wednesday, November 25: SATAN HATES YOU now complete! First review online!

"audatious...a fast paced film that packs in a lot of material and style... SATAN HATES YOU is a very difficult film to classify, which is exactly why it's a breath of fresh air."
-- Gregory Lamberson, FEAR ZONE

The time has come! We have completed post-production and SATAN HATES YOU is now ready for release!

And we have already received our first review! Gregory Lamberson, editor of the online horror publication Fear Zone, recently announced that November would be the last month that the site would be posting new items. Since Fear Zone has covered SATAN HATES YOU from the very beginning, my co-producers and I agreed that we should rush a copy of the film over to Gregory in hopes of getting one last bit of press out of Fear Zone before publication ceased.

You can read Greg's review for yourself here at Fear Zone.

I know what you're thinking, "When do I get to see SATAN HATES YOU?"

We're in the process of setting up a New York City screening in the very near future. At that time we will also be sending out DVD screeners of the film to the press. So hold on to your hats, SATAN HATES YOU is coming your way very soon!

Happy Thanksgiving to all,

JFM

Moisty the Snowman Saves Christmas tells the tale of how, with enough tenacity and tinsel, one slushy little snowman can make a difference of Christmas proportions.

Moisty the Snowman, (Bradford Scobie, Doctor Donut, Turkey Day with Pilgrim William, Wake Up America! with Brad & Lori) is a filthy little city snowman compiled of snow, cigarette butts, White Castle wrappers, fecal matter and mulch. In lieu of a top hat, Moisty wears an enchanted orange traffic cone which gives him life. And, boy oh boy, is he full of life! Moisty is enthusiastic, optimistic, kind-hearted, intensely self-centered, and queenier than Adam Lambert at a Fire Island tea dance.

What’s more, Moisty simply adores Christmas. So you can imagine his horror when he discovers that Christmas has been cancelled by the town’s diabolical and glamorous mayor, Mayor Bloomburger-Meisterburger (Patricia Dell, Mame, 42nd Street, The King and I), with the help of her henchman, the menacing Mafioso, Snow Monster (Stephen Vara, She-Devils On Wheels, Trilogy of Terror). Determined to save Christmas, Moisty embarks on a journey, in search of Santa Claus (Steven Hayes, The Penguin Tango, Stories We Tell Ourselves, Trick). Along the way, Moisty makes new friends who join him on his Christmassy crusade: Yoyo the Elf, a teenaged, Brooklyn homeboy with a chip on his shoulder and an insatiable appetite for a certain portion of the female anatomy (Dorian Shorts, Nickelodeon’s The Backyardigans Live, Captain Louie). Jaggedy Ann, the toxic, angry-lesbian rag doll whom he discovers on the Island of Recalled Toys (Deanna Glover, Bye Bye Birdie, Hairspray). And, of course, The Baby Jesus himself (A Prop).

But when our heroes finally meet Santa, they are shocked to discover that he has undergone a dramatic…change? Oh dear! Will Christmas ever be saved? Laffs! Music! Action! Nog! It’s the musical-comedy holiday show that is both naughty and nice.

Moisty the Snowman Saves Christmas is produced by the New York Musical Theatre Festival and The Work Room Productions, directed by Scott Faris (Chicago, Bette Midler’s The Showgirl Must Go On, Walking with Dinosaurs) and narrated by Mister Showbiz himself, Murray Hill (A Murray Little Christmas, The Murray Hill Show, Murray Hill: Caught in the Act).

Moisty the Snowman is a character created by writer, comedian and character actor Bradford Scobie, who has been a popular fixture in the downtown scene for years. This October, Moisty the Snowman will come to life on the stage of the 45th Street Theatre as an official selection of The New York Musical Theatre Festival as a part of its special event series.

Mr. Scobie, who in addition to writing the show wrote the lyrics and also plays Moisty the Snowman explains, “Moisty the Snowman Saves Christmas is like a kiddy show for adults with a nod to the Rankin and Bass clay-mation Christmas specials of my youth. I’ve been developing the Moisty character for the past few years, appearing in comedy variety shows and hosting an all-Christmas/Hanukah burlesque show. Audience reaction to Moisty has always been very positive, so I wanted to branch out, write a full production and take it up town. So I was amazed and elated when NYMF accepted Moisty.”

This marks the first original production by the newly formed The Work Room Productions founded by partners Chase Tyler and Lisa Wisely. “We are extremely excited to work with Bradford Scobie to bring the hysterical character of Moisty and his friends to life in a full production,” says Producer Chase Tyler.
