Hey, peeps!
Just wanted to pop in here to help spread the word on an upcoming horror flick that's being shot in my home town of Thunder Bay, Ontario, Canada. The film is entitled Quiver, and it was written by me. I will also be co-producing it through a new film company in my area, Still Frame Entertainment.
Auditions are all ready to go beginning next week with a shooting dates scheduled to start at the end of September and into October. To say I'm extremely excited would be an understatement!
The film revolves around a young couple (Rudy & Claire) who, while camping in a remote area, run into a new species of insect. The insects (in this case, mutated ticks) hunt and stalk the couple and they go through hell trying to escape.
A real Web site is just around the corner, but as for now, you can find the film on Facebook at http://www.facebook.com/pages/…..544?ref=ts or on MySpace at http://groups.myspace.com/quiverthefilm.
If you're a member of those social sites, I'd really appreciate you joining and follow along. Spread the word, too! I certainly appreciate the support.
Thanks!
- Ken

Well, I don't have Facebook or Myspace. But I would be more than happy to support a fellow Canadian filmmaker. I don't think Canadian Independent Films get enough credit around here. So I would definitely support this.
I'll spread the word around for this movie. Keep us posted!

Thanks a lot, guys. I really appreciate it!
@ GHOST305
The ticks are mutated from a chemical explosion, so they grow in size and they grow hungrier. Plus, ticks are creepy all by themself. It's something that burrows itself into your flesh. Tell me that's not gross.

Ahh the mutation part makes sense now…You are correct in saying that ticks are creepy by themselves. I've always hated those things. Everytime no matter how hard I try to not get one while going into the wilderness…I always do… , and they're a pain to remove too.

Yeah, exactly! Ticks are little a-holes! In this flick, they're a-holes who will seriously F you up! LOL.
@Ninjacat
Thanks a lot for joining and following along. We plan to be 100% finished the film next spring with screenings beginning around here and at multiple festivals. I'm sure by the fall of 2011, we'll have DVDs and Blu-rays out.

Thanks for sharing that link, Parnakas. Some donations would really help because these things are NOT cheap to make at all. Also, I'll keep you updated on whenever DVDs and Blu-rays are available. I think we might even be making a limited run of HD-DVDs for the hardcore fans out there.
As far as Paranormal Activity goes, we're really hoping it gets enough word of mouth like that film did. We'll be entering Quiver into the same film festival where PA was noticed, so you never know. I personally liked PA, though. In fact, if you go through the credits slowly at the end, you'll see my name in there. Bought the Blu-ray just to see my name is high definition. LOL.

Just to see your name? LOL!! Win. I probably would too! HD-DVDs? Yea um.. scrap that  Blu-Ray all the way man. Especially if its a dark movie, I find Blu-Ray really helps me see whats happening in the darkness of it all, whereas with DVD it could seem blurry to me at some points.
And oo if its gonna be at a film festival I'll be there to see it! I love going to those. I'll definitely try to spread the word more. I have already shared the link a bit. I'm gonna spread it as much as i can. Soon everyone who knows about Parnakas will know about Quiver.. it will be like.. Quivakas. LOL sorry. Had to say it..
Btw, I forgot to say this earlier.. Quiver is a really great name for a movie like this! Great job!

@ Quivakas… I mean Parnakas!
Thanks for the support, man! I was pretty happy about the title, too. I actually created the entire film around the title alone. That was my muse. I knew I wanted to make this a creature feature and I knew it was going to be called Quiver. That's all I had and I ran with it. So far I've had nothing but positive reviews for the script (a perfect nine for nine so far), so I must've did something right!
@monkeymoobs
I never really had an inspiration, no. Obviously ticks are disgusting and nobody actually likes them, and I knew I wanted some kind of mutated insect in this, so I just went with that. I suppose while I wrote those, my inspiration was to make a fun, psychological, sure-to-be-cult-hit horror film like the ones from the '80s. I love The Evil Dead and old flicks like that, so that's what really lead me to my man- versus-creature-in-the-wilderness premise.
@HardAndSloppy
Thanks a lot for the support! I'll definitely keep you updated. Once filming is complete, I'm sure one of the first things we edited together will be a trailer, so I'll give the link to that here when it's ready!

Just a few very exciting updates…
1 — We just had a promoter sign on! He read the script, and he loved it. He compared it to the campy horror flicks of the '80s and said that he wants to promote it. He even went as far as to compare it to The Evil Dead!
2 – I have now had eleven different people read the script and if this was Rotten Tomatoes, I'd have a 100% right now. More than half the readers are people that I don't know, so this is definitely good news as we go into filming!
3 — We had a good show-up last week for our two evenings of auditions. We currently have three set for this week (one being tonight) and a huge list of attendees.
4 — Our local radio station made an announcement regarding Quiver last week and that made me quite ecstatic.
5 — Our Facebook fan page has boosted up to 104 fans.
6 — Our ad on Kijiji has had over 1200 hits and we now have people worldwide writing in interested in taking part in the film.
That's it for now! Lots of good, happy news for yours truly!
