WIN! An all Expenses Paid walkon part in KILLER GREEN!

News No Comments »

Ambergris Films is giving away two walk-on parts in our upcoming production KILLER GREEN! NO PURCHASE NECCESARY!

To win the two walk-on parts to the film (one male, one female) you can do one of two things.

You can submit your personally crafted promotional photo for the movie. If you have Killer Green shirts, please feel free to sport them – they make great props. Be creative. The first two scenes of the film are still available for inspiration at David Niall Wilson’s website. The movie involves bio-diesel, big rigs, a classic Thunderbird (1966) – an Oldsmobile Toronado – a diner, an very rural gas station, a morgue, a desert and Peyote Slims, a bar & Grill on a remote highway. Use your imagination!

The second way is to use that same information in a bit more high-tech fashion and create a fan trailer for the movie. Act out a scene. Make up a scene or a bunch of bits of scenes. Put together your best trailer for the movie, upload it to YouTube, and we’ll embed it, along with the submitted photos, on the Killer Green web page (live soon)

Along with the walk-on parts, there will be two copies of the original web version of the screenplay, signed by David Niall Wilson.

There will be one copy of David Niall Wilson’s novel “Ancient Eyes,” a fifty dollar, out of print novel that is signed and limited and has the advantage of being…>GREEN< on the cover.

A copy of David Niall Wilson’s “The Not Quite Right Reverend Cletus J. Diggs & The Accepted Habits of Nature” – a forty-five dollar limited edition – also out of print.

And finally, one winner will get the opportunity to be a character in either an upcoming novel, or an upcoming screenplay by David Niall Wilson. They will get to help create the character, and then I’ll write him, or her, in.

Remember – we still have t-shirts available! Buy one of the two Killer Green t-shirts, either the Peyote Slim’s shirt, or the Killer Green Crew shirt.

We’ll wait for October 31st, we’ll gather all the entries, then we’ll pick winners. One male, one female. The winners will be flown to the set if they aren’t local. The winners will get a walk on part in the film, and a signed copy of the script. There will be two second place prizes (also one male, one female) of a signed script from the screenwriter, DAVID NIALL WILSON

TO ENTER: Send your pictures to contest@ambergrisfilms.com by OCTOBER 31st 2009.

Let’s prove to the world Twitter can do something start to finish that they can’t deny…

And let’s make one hell of a movie!

All three employees of Ambergris Films LLC and their families are not eligible for this offer! Walk-on part is only available to residents of the Continental US – we’ll find another prize if someone overseas wins, but THAT airfare is only for BIG budget films.

“Smokey & The Bandit Meets Natural Born Killers” In KILLER GREEN

SAN FRANCISCO (PRWeb) June 12, 2009 – Ambergris Films LLC today announces the optioning of a screenplay that has its roots in the popular online social network Twitter. KILLER GREEN is a horror film that mixes cultural icons such as diners and serial killers with news ripped from the headlines such as biodiesel cars and the unscrupulous practices of outlaw doctors.

In February of 2009, a group of users on the social network Twitter had an almost joking conversation about a movie based on a bio-fuel and a killing spree. The project was dubbed “KILLER GREEN” and author David Niall Wilson started typing a script. Since the idea was born on Twitter, Wilson typed the script in scenes and promoted each scene with his account. Each scene was published on his website under a Creative Commons license and broadcast to the Twitter Community. The following grew. After the completion of the screenplay, Wilson signed an option with Ambergris Films LLC. Nearly every part of the deal was transacted via Twitter, save for the signing of contracts. Pre-production started on the project in June, and many images from our production designer Jeff Ensslen are available on the KILLER GREEN website, http://www.killergreenfilm.com.

Many notable Twitter users donated their names to the screenplay, including Internet marketing gurus Chris Brogan and Greg Verdino. There are links to their Twitter profiles on the KILLER GREEN website.

Ambergris Films LLC is an entertainment company formed to develop feature length movies and merchandise from those projects. Started by Darren Mckeeman in June of 2009, Ambergris Films currently has two projects in development. KILLER GREEN is the first one into pre-production. you can follow Ambergris Films LLC online at their website, http://www.ambergrisfilms.com.

David Niall Wilson has been writing and publishing horror, dark fantasy, and science fiction since the mid-eighties. His novels include Maelstrom, Sins of the Flash, Vintage Soul, The Mote in Andrea’s Eye, Deep Blue, the Grails Covenant Trilogy, Star Trek Voyager: Chrysalis, Except You Go Through Shadow, This is My Blood, and the Dark Ages Vampire clan novel Lasombra, among others.
