Now and Then

Welcome. This is the first post on what is the first official site/blog for Redd. This is where anything and everything about the movie will be compiled. All Videos, Blogs, Vlogs, Behind The Scenes, and Recent News about the production will be found here.

What is REDD?

REDD is a short film that we hope to eventually turn into a feature film. It's an Action, Adventure, Horror spin on The Red Riding Hood story. It's completely DIY, Indie, No-Budget. Meaning we're doing this out of pocket, from our own blood, sweat, and day job dollars, and no, we do not have anything to do with the new big budget Hollywood production of Red Riding Hood. Our version is an action movie. The main goal is to really display what me and my crew can accomplish cinematically with little to no money.

The concept came as a spoof idea. Red Riding Hood turning the tables on the wolf, then evolved into a deeper story set before a post apocalyptic background. Here's the basic plot:

"Set in a post apocalyptic future, 15 years after a large war has ravaged the majority of the US. A village, trying to re-build, is terrorized by evil creatures and giant beasts that now inhabit the nearby forest. A mysterious young girl in a red cloak wages war on the evil in the forest to save the village, using her wit, her courage, and whole lot of guns."

It is an adventure story with strong elements of Sci-Fi and Horror. I'm currently developing this story into a feature film. The script for it is nearly finished, and hopefully with the help of the completed short, we can help illustrate what the feature will look like, and get to work on putting out a feature film in 2011.
