The I-Mockery Horror/Comedy Zombie Film Project F.A.Q.

Q: What is the movie called? What's it about?
A: I'm not divulging much information about the project at this point other than the fact that it will be a horror/comedy film involving zombies.

Q: When do you plan to film and/or release this movie?
A: Since we haven't begun filming yet, it's pretty much impossible to say. It's basically a "it'll be done when it's done" kind of thing. Currently I'm working a full-time job to help raise funds on my own for it since I can't depend solely on donations. Let me get it filmed first and then I'll worry about when it will be released.

Q: Will this film be out in theatres?
A: If we're lucky, we'll get it into some independent film festivals. Once filming is completed, I'll probably shop it around to various studios to see if they'd be interested in buying the distribution rights. If no studio picks it up, we'll just release it ourselves onto DVD and promote it heavily on the internet. In addition to our own highly trafficked site, we've got some great buddy sites that would gladly help us get word out about the movie too, so either way, plenty of people will have a chance to see it.

Q: How do you expect to raise enough cash for this film?
A: Considering that this site gets millions of page views per month, it really shouldn't be that hard. Hell, if everybody who visits this site in a given month was to donate one measly dollar, we'd have all the money we needed for the film right there. But the fact is, not everybody will, so that's why this donation process is gonna be an ongoing thing for a while. I'm sure we can do it, and it will be the most awesometastic zombie movie you've ever seen when it's all said 'n done.

Q: What if you don't raise enough cash to film this movie?
A: If for whatever reason I don't raise enough cash to film the movie I really want to do, I've still got other movies that I could film that wouldn't cost as much. So I'll just make due with whatever money is raised.

Q: How much do I need to donate each month?
A: That's totally up to you. If you can spare 5 bucks one month and then 10 bucks the next, that's fine. You don't have to donate every month even, it's just whenever you have the cash to spare.

Q: Can I donate more than once a month?
A: You can make a donation every hour if you like. Hell, fund the entire movie yourself if you're that rich. Make my life easier! Seriously though, donate whenever you want and however much you want. I just set up the "please donate once a month" thing because it seemed to be the most reasonable option for most people.

Q: Can I donate online?
A: Yep, we prefer it that way actually. Click the button below to donate via PayPal.

Q: I don't have a PayPal account or a credit card. Can I still donate?
A: Sure, just email me and we can try to work something out.

Q: Will you be displaying a chart of some sort at the end of each month so we can see how much was raised?
A: Yeah, I probably will be doing that. Because, when you see that we haven't raised enough money for that particular month, you'll be like, "AWWW SHIT. NOW ROG MADE ME FEEL GUILTY. I'M A GREEDY BASTARD. HERE! TAKE IT! TAKE ALL MY MONEY!" Ok, so that probably won't be the case, but at least you'll be able to see how much we've made in a given month and hopefully you'll feel compelled to make a contribution too.

Q: In addition to my donation, I know some people that have been working in films (make-up artists, sound techs, port-a-potty cleaners, caterers, etc) and they might be able to help you out when you're ready to film.
A: If you or anybody you know has some good experience in the filmmaking process (especially in horror films), by all means feel free to contact me and let me know what you or your friends would like to help out with. If I can use the help when it's time to film, I'll get back in touch with you for sure.

Q: I have something really cool that I'd like to donate for you to put up for auction so you can raise more money for the zombie movie. Is that possible?
A: Definitely. If you have some cool stuff that you no longer use or you made something that you think we could auction off to help raise money for the movie, email me about it and we might be able to put it up for auction.

Q: How much film experience do you have?
A: Me? Why, I put all the great directors to shame! Nah, I'm just getting into film after reading some books on it and having wanted to do a zombie flick for a loooong time.

Q: Will there be a soundtrack available for this film?
A: If all goes well, yeah I would probably have a bunch of indie bands on a nicely done soundtrack and maybe even a few tracks by yours truly. It's hard to say though, gotta make the film first before the rest of that stuff comes together.

Q: Is "galoshes" the most important word in the English language?
A: Yeah, I'm pretty damned sure it is.

Q: I donated to the movie but don't want my name to appear in the credits. Is that ok?
A: Sure. You can have any name you want in the credits. For example, if your real name is Cletus McDoogle and you don't want anybody to know you donated, you can have an alias such as "Klinktor the Milkshake" appear in the credits instead. It's totally up to you.

Q: How much do I need to donate to make an appearance in the film?
A: First off, we're going to be getting real actors for the main roles in this film, so don't expect anything like that. Still, there should be plenty of extra zombie roles that will be available and that's where you would come in, because it doesn't take much skill to act like a zombie (trust me). There is no definite amount so far that you have to donate, but anything $500 and over would pretty much guarantee you a spot somewhere in there. Keep in mind, you would have to make the travel and hotel arrangements, because I simply don't have the cash to fly your ass out here.

Q: If I donated a lot to the film, will I get a discount on the DVD when it comes out?
A: I'm hoping to do something like that, yeah. If you're one of the people who actually donates over $500 to the movie, I'm sure we can work it out so you at least get a free autographed copy of the DVD. If by the time the film goes into production, you have donated $100 or more, we'll make arrangements to get you a free DVD if we publish it ourselves. People who donated less should at least be able to get a discount on the DVD too.

If you have any questions that weren't answered, please drop me a line and I'll try to answer your question as soon as possible. Thanks.
