What happens when the Zombies Attack

First, I want to start off by apologizing that we haven’t been keeping up with the blog, but things have been really busy around KREJ HQ (Plus, we’ve been without internet for the past couple of weeks back at casa de Grantz). We’ve been working on the edit for “Of Rats and Men,” and so far, it’s looking pretty funny, if I may say so myself. We’ve also been working on scripts like crazy; a couple of shorts, some features, and even a comic book. We also have had another project that we’ve been working on.

If you’ve been reading this blog like all good little KREJ-heads, you should know that Steven, Trent and myself have been taking improv classes at the Relapse Comedy Theatre since February (we have our first show this Saturday at Relapse at 8:00). Well, this year Relapse and the Home Park Community is doing a haunted house and they hired KREJ Productions to produce several shorts to promote the event. This project was entitled “Zombie Attack!” That’s right, KREJ actually got hired to do something. Weird, right?

Our shoot was scheduled for this past Sunday, September 26th, and it went extremely well. Everyone in KREJ was definitely on their A-game. We we’re scheduled to shoot 7 separate short films, all tying together to tell the story of a neighborhood that is under siege by zombies.

This particular shoot was a LOT of fun. This was our biggest project to date, in terms of cast and crew. We had roughly forty people involved in the production. Tons of extras. We worked with a lot of actors that we haven’t had the pleasure of working with before, and that was great. Hopefully, we’ll get to work with some of them again in the future. Also, it was really fun to be doing some zombie stuff again.

The plan right now is to release them every Tuesday and Thursday in October until the haunted house opens. So, keep an eye out for those. And go down to Relapse and check out the haunted house. And why’ll you’re at it, check out all their shows every week. There’s some funny people down there at that Relapse.

There’s a lot of great stuff in the KREJ pipeline, so keep checking in. I’ll try to get onto everybody and get them to blog more. Oh, and everybody wish Jerry a Happy Birthday today. You’ve got ten minutes of today left.

Take it bleezy,
