First of all, huge thanks to cast and crew at our christmas party massacre shoot on Jan. 21st 2011. It was a 15 hour day for the crew, we didn't know if anyone was going to show up, and we were doing the biggest scene on the first day! But we adapted to the situation and used what we had, even asking a couple on a dinner date if they could play 2 quick roles that we still needed to fill during the shoot, and they did! How many times have you been out to dinner and someone says "hey, they're making a horror movie in the basement, would you like to be in it?" The cast was mostly friends and non-actors, mixed with a few more experienced actors. Don't underestimate yourself as an actor, with a little coaching through a scene, and with some repetition, most people can come close to what your looking for performance-wise. For me though, it felt good to be making another movie, because you are creating something no-one has ever seen before and when it starts to come together in the edit and sound is added, thats when all the hard work pays off.
