SURVIVAL to begin shooting in June

Posted by Charlie on April 26, 2006

The producers of Survival just wanted to share with your readers that casting for the film is now complete. And with a little over one month left until principal photography begins we have been hard at work finalizing the budget and securing the last of the locations to be utilized in the movie.

Our cast consists of many indie picture veterans and some fresh new faces, including Don Prentiss (Doomed To Consume, The Ancient), Ian C. King (fresh off his work on Poultrygeist), Vanelle (The Cutting Room), Vic Aviles (Buy Sell Kill), and Matt McClure (televisions Everwood and
Veronica Mars, as well as the upcoming Paul Walker starring The Life And Death of Bobby Z).

The team behind the production includes writer/director Joe Francis, co-writer/producer Kevin Woods (Buy Sell Kill, Wiseguys Vs. Zombies), DP Joe Hamann (Ralph Singleton\’s The Mill), with special effects provided by Savini School graduate Ricky Lee (fresh off his work with TOETAG Pictures, Speedfreak Productions, Compound Pictures, and DSK Productions features).

The Survival website underwent a complete makeover this weekend, with a fresh layout and new stills and production journals. It can be found at www.survivalmovie.com. We also invite MySpace users to add us at

SURVIVAL movie poster contest

Posted by Charlie on April 26, 2006

The producers of Survival are hosting a contest in which anyone can submit a poster idea - http://www.survivalmovie.com/contest.htm.

This contest is easy, simply take any concept you have for a poster designed for the movie SURVIVAL, and submit it! You can use anything you’d like, from your own photos, artwork, etc to any photos or pictures you find on the SURVIVAL site. Now, in order to use these pictures they will have to be YOUR OWN PROPERTY. In other words we cannot use a poster with someone else’s (not yours or ours) work on it, unless you have permission from them. If you do send us a picture with copywritten imagery on it, we’ll still put it on the site…we just won’t use it for the contest.

You’re more than welcome to send as many entries as you want, and you can send them to poster@survivalmovie.com !
