 Australia's first splatterpunk video nasty https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1622887785/ribspreader-a-splatterpunk-video-nasty?ref=project_build  I’m in Sydney Australia co-producing and editing Ribspreader, the first feature film for my old mate Dick Dale. He’s based in Adelaide, Australia, as is the shoot. This is my first Kickstarter so I’m an excited puppy. I'm pretty busy with it and open to suggestions and questions  .Dick’s made a stack of short trash horror comedy films and has operated the Trasharama a Go Go festival for over 20 years, screening all over Australia. He’s inspired dozens of filmmakers and put on a lot of good nights and good times for hundreds of people over the years. This is Dick:  Dick is also frontman for Adelaide punk bands such as Kamikaze and more recently Drunkee Blunders. Here's Ribspreader's FB page. Here's the Instagram. Kickstarter campaign launches on May 20, running through till about June 18. So, Dick is not a filmmaker who fits neatly into the typical paradigm of maybe make some ads and music videos, get some funding and government approval and join the circuit. He’s made his own circuit and more often than not has been unemployed while doing all this. About 5 or 6 years ago Dick, inspired by a workshop with Troma's Lloyd Kaufman, wrote Ribspreader for an Ozploitation film competition. And like most of Dick’s work it’s funny and gory with an unexpected heart. Here’s the brief rundown: Dick’s feature opus Ribspreader, tells the story of Brian - a one-time pin up boy for 70’s tobacco advertising, now full time loser, who is brainwashed by a talking billboard into killing all the smokers in Murder City and making a jacket from their lungs. He soon discovers he is not alone. Murder City is a hunting ground of demented serial killers and he learns he must get in line. Will he get ahead of the pack or break free of insanity? Only one thing’s for sure: Smoking will kill you one way or another. Here's the less brief rundown:  Over the years Dick has created a following around the country and around the world. The facebook page for Ribspreader has over 800 followers, his Trasharama page has 1500+ followers. Dick has already shot cameos with a bunch of notable folk including Laurence R. Harvey (Human Centipede II, also fuckin’ dat chicken in my profile), Spencer P Jones (lead guiatrist from Beasts of Bourbon, sadly now deceased), Chad Morgan (Australian country music legend) and Fred Negro (Melbourne cartoonist & frontman for I Spit on your Gravy), with more in the works. There’s a lot of love in the room. The production has the technical side covered by professionals pitching in to help with gear, time and expertise. The DoP comes with a grip van and the gear and his crew. I’m an editor and am bringing my side of things for post. The other producer also worked with Dick previously and this is his second feature. The 1st AD is amazing and the perfect combination of competence and energy. We have a young production designer working closely with Dick to put Murder City on the screen. Most of the budget priority from crowdfunding is going to Art Department and realising practical FX. We want to screen the film around the country at special events like a serial killer theme party, using Dicks Trasharama network. Backers on Kickstarter can even get murdered in the film, if they back at the right tier of course. There’s a lot of art coming out attached to this and there’s rewards in kickstarter relating to that too. Here is some art.   We have some media and radio interviews lined up. If you’re looking for an interview with Dick let us know. Matthew is also up for a chat. Both films are being marketed together.   I hope we don’t gently caress it all up, I think we’re getting there but in any case it’s one of those one-off special case projects with good people that makes life suck less. If you think so too, welcome aboard. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1622887785/ribspreader-a-splatterpunk-video-nasty?ref=project_build clusterfuck fucked around with this message at 05:30 on Jan 10, 2021 |

Trip report: We're at 111% funding after 29 days, funded! We've been the most popular Australian film project in kickstarter for most of the campaign. Only 1 day to go! https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1622887785/ribspreader-a-splatterpunk-video-nasty?ref=creator_nav We picked up a new executive producer from Canada, a man of impeccable taste! We've also now picked up three Associate Producers. Would love to pick up more EPs and APs and use that money for better production values. The rewards are going well. Getting killed in the movie at $350AUD is popular. We have a special reward offered by our stop motion artist to create 5 custom claymation snuff films for the top 5 pledgers in the final week. I love it. Check out our artists Trasharama winning Gumby's New Tit!
