I AM...DEAD: WELCOME

I AM...DEAD: Welcome To The Blog!
 
You never saw it coming!  This special blog is dedicated to the classic noir-style/ zombie-ish feature film, "I AM...DEAD".
 
We'll share tell-all behind the scenes info, screen tests, production stills, and, of course, the film itself and so much more.
 
What started out as an excersize in re-creating a Boris Karloff film turned into a multi-layered film that is hard to label. I am especially proud of the look of the film -- black and white, grainy, static heard on the soundtrack.  Like many film fans, it's not the story that matters so much to me.  The style must capture my attention and in "I AM...DEAD" you have it all -- the classic cars, the rotary phones, the layers of furnishings.

I view this film, not so much as a traditional "motion picture story" (which are generally constructed through collaberations and tell a specific narrative), but as an idealized amalgamation of several differing art forms -- a kind of assemblage -- by a single individual who uses the creative talents of others as materials for his own expression, canvasses in which to create on. I also view the film as a "new old movie", a homage to the Warner Bros. heyday. Thank you to everyone who has been a part of making this unique project.

2011 Approximate Running Time: 1:21:18. B/W w/Sound.
 
Please feel free to post critiques, reviews, comments, or suggestions.
 
Thanks so much!
