M is for Melody -- Short Film

This  post has two purposes: the first is to continue to show the different projects I've been able to assist on, and the second is to ask for any readers' out there to help my friends and I get our short included in a feature film.

The ABC's of Death is a feature-length collection of short horror genre films, and the first film was released last year. 25 notable directors took part and the 26th director was chosen as the winner of a submission contest. A second film is in the works, and once again, a contest will determine the lucky number 26.

For our submission, entitled M is for Melody, I was script supervisor. I kept track of continuity and made notes to make the editing process smoother. We worked hard and we worked late, but we were able to get it shot in one night. Now we have only two weeks or so to raise our FB likes into the top six (six films will be chosen by judges, six determined by the FB popular vote, so we still have a chance even if we don't make the amount of likes necessary).

Knowing that I have had professional social media experience, the director David Bornstein also asked me to head up the social media frenzy that will be required to attain enough Facebook likes. I'm currently planning different strategies and applying them as fast as possible. Some ways I hope to advertise this film are through Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr, blogs, and a number of other resources. It's a tall order -- at this point the top six most liked videos all have over 2,500 likes. Still, I see this as a challenge to myself to stretch the limits of my social media savvy.

That being said, here's the link to the film: M is for Melody  If you're reading this before 11/14/2013, please be sure to "like" it and help us out. If not, enjoy the film just to enjoy it!  Also, be aware that it is violent and somewhat graphic, not safe for work, children, and potentially triggering. But seriously, enjoy.
