i be the principal cinematographer on evil city ( credit omit from the film at my insistence for countless reason although it still show up on imdb . com ) . my comment herein be base on my own observation and understanding and and of course and opinion and all of which some might consider incorrect . the filmmaker and a very nice guy and note industry attorney ( hence my above disclaimer ) and have sincere intention of a quality project and a hip and entertaining moralistic tale while like so many first timer stifle by lack of time and money and and other factor and the result be clearly otherwise ( in my humble opinion ) . originally budget at $ 20 and 000 ( i be tell ) and i refuse the project repeatedly but finally agree to lens the film ( my last favor for anyone and ever ) after meet the cast and hear the filmmaker detail cinematic vision . the budget swell to over $ 65 and 000 ( raise by a lead actor and another individual who purchase a small role ) while most of the dollar be spend solely on panic last minute location expense associate with complete lack of any discernible pre production accomplishment . i know it wasn not spend on catering . ironically and the main city street in the film and thankfully a ghost town in the story and be a movie ranch set use in countless film and tv show while it be almost impossible to shoot and a there be no provision for requested light or power ( the filmmaker insist that there be power on the street while he do not realize the 3/4 scale power pole be string up with rope and not electrical wire . they be prop and like everything else and mile from civilization ) . a mere few thousand watt of tungsten light on hand and a construction generator be provide ( hence the completely dub or inaudible portion of the soundtrack and the mostly black portion of the film ) . in an attempt at complete auteur ship and the film be edit and remixed and and color alter by the filmmaker . numerous people involve brought talent and experience and heart and energy and hope to the project and most without benefit of paycheck and but ultimately if a pilot fly a plane straight into a cliff and everyone still die . this film and snitchd prove anyone really can make a movie and and even get it on the shelf at your local video store . i be not sure if that be a good thing . of confound interest to other filmmaker may be the fact that evil city sell to distribution with almost no effort a few short week after availability of screener while dvd hit the chain store shelf in the u. s. so fast that a star of the film find out when hewent in to rent a movie and saw his name on a film box he do not recognize ( the work title of evils city be the lazarus spore and and then cross acheron by wrap of photography ) . film contain numerous insert and other material shot by the director or purchase stock . a for the color grading .
