"Gray State" movie concept trailer released

[pcosmar]

I really think this movie needs to be produced.



And if it is even half as good as it seems,, it need to be distributed and shown.
Widely and Often.

I've worked on 4 independent feature films to varying degrees from visual effects supervisor/effects artist, to sound mixer/sound design, to grip, but almost always close to the director and producers and the production/distribution process. I'm currently working on another right now. I also plan to write(possibly with help)/direct my own film in the not too distant future.

Good stuff then. Well, you should know better than the comments you made. I do somewhat the same vein as you. I create technical art pipelines for game, film and sfx. Been camera operator and actor. Have a 3d movie script in review right now.. The satirical parody version of Gray State if you will..

Another thought. This would make an interesting video game.

It will just end up as yet another FPS. You could take the framework for any of the big ones and just flip enemy and player prefabs out.

The film makers put time and effort into creating shots for what is essentially a montage. They could have equally spent time and effort into creating some shots of actual scenes that involve the story and characters. This movie is going to be "fictional" as well, in that the characters don't exists, nor have the events presented happened.

Arguing with you is getting exhausting (over opinions might I add). I've already stated my opinions, and sent an e-mail to the film makers. The Director of Photography/Producer here at the production company I work at viewed the trailer and concurred with all of my criticisms.

The trailer was an arc of action styled trailer. Totally appropriate for this. The intricacies of the plot are not necessary as this shows the antagonists at work and they look like a bunch or brutal bastards. It them becomes a story of how they meet these overwhelming odds.

I loved that show.

Me too! I wish there was a film adaptation trilogy to jericho off the graphic novels to complete it!

Was just remarking upon it as toung in cheeck though since this is what Grey State conjured in my head. A vision of what would be similar to a film version of Jericho on steroids.

I dunno Pete, I think this may be just what is needed to make people wake up. The Hunger Games were a start. This will be epic. Some will, as you say, think this a work of fiction. Othere are going to go "Holy Shit".

I was pissed off after the Hunger Games. That they were finally standing up for themselves, and then they allowed themselves to be manipulated back to their place and forgot anything ever happened.

Film Review: ‘A Gray State’

Erik Nelson's documentary probes the mystery of the violent demise of an aspiring filmmaker and libertarian conspiracy theorist.

“Grizzly Man” producer Nelson (this film is executive produced by that film’s helmer, Werner Herzog) weighs the disturbing recent saga of a charismatic military veteran with libertarian leanings who industriously sought to make a “dystopian future reality movie” portraying America’s imminent conquest at the hands of the “deep state” in service of the “New World Order.” But when that dream actually seemed to be coming true to him, he began unraveling. The result: He, his wife and 5-year-old daughter were all found dead in their home. After nearly a year’s investigation, police drew the conclusion, fairly obvious from evidence here, that it was a double murder/suicide steeped in collective psychosis. Nonetheless, there remain plenty of observers convinced that the government wanted to silence him and his film.

He self-funded an impressively slick “concept trailer” to attract backing for the estimated $30 million feature. Not only did it generate Indiegogo donations sufficient to support his screenwriting (while Komel bankrolled the family expenses with a day job), but it made him an instant celebrity spokesman among like-minded bloggers and such, of which there were/are many. He even got a development deal with a Los Angeles film production company.

The latter producers provide a striking sequence here when they belatedly listen to an audiotape Crowley had made of himself, prepping for their pitch meeting. Rambling and manic, he now seems a “psychotic” they were duped by, rather than the ambitious, confident aspirant they thought they’d met. Similarly, friends, family and colleagues remember David as a natural leader, though they also saw worrisome signs near the end — signals amply filled in by the voluminous, increasingly hysterical journals, videos and other forms of compulsive self-expression he left behind.
