I received an email yesterday from Mark Ross, an independent filmmaker in the Las Vegas area who’s currently in production on a 25 minute short concept film titled Curse of the Phantom Shadow. With New York Comic-Con 2011 kicking off tomorrow, and me knowing first hand the trials and tribulations indie filmmakers have while trying to complete their projects, I thought I’d share his info. So if you feel the spirit, help this brotha out.
Curse of the Phantom Shadow is described as an homage to:
- Radio Dramas
- The Phantom
- B Movies
- Dick Tracy
- Batman
- Spy Smasher
- The Shadow
- Republic Movie Serials
- Comic books
- Pulp Novels/Magazines of the 1930s/1940s
Our film takes place in 1948. We have professional actors, some of which have been in Hollywood productions. Until recently, we were 100% self financed from my personal savings. We are now trying to raise money to finish our production. – Mark Ross
