Dec 3 10 11:54 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	My next film Alison in Wonderland, is currently shooting. A teaser trailer has just been released: Watch in HD if your computer can take it and share, share, share. The project, a sort of feature length expansion of and follow-up to my previous short Little Red Riding Hood, is pretty dear to me. I have been trying to get it made for several years now and now with my big documentary, Black Sunshine: Conversations with T.F. Mou, just about finished, the time has come to actually make the movie. The film is going to be sort of a macabre "dramedy", a grotesque modern updating of Alice in Wonderland with the Alice chararacter, Alison, as an American high school girl with a lot of social commentary and also touches of Star Wars. Read more in the links. Some paraphernalia: The film's page on my webbysite Conceptual art and drawings Some images: The teaser poster Sketches of Alison, The Caterpillar, The White Rabbit, The Cheshire Cat, The Mad Hatter, The March Hare, The Two of Hearts, The Red Queen, The Queen's Executioner and The Queen's Chef: http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/alison01.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/caterpillar.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/whiterabbit.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/cheshirecat.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/madhatter.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/marchhare.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/twoofhearts.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/redqueen.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/sidtheexecutioner.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/hunchbackedchef.html Some pre-viz paintings. Designs for the Red Queen's Castle miniature I'm building soon: http://www.jlcarrozza.com/art/castleofhearts.html http://www.jlcarrozza.com...tleofheartsdesign01.html Some props I've built already: So donate and help a real piece of low budget genre filmmaking get made! I have ambitious plans for the film and its release and Alison definitely is steeped in my roots as a monster kid. The Caterpillar scene will have a Toho vibe all over it with a Mothra-like design and Matango-like mushrooms and George Romero, Herk Harvey and Peter Jackson were all big influences on the film's planned aesthetic and filmmaking techniques. Anything helps and there are fabulous rewards and prizes for those who donate significantly from credits and IMDb pages to signed memorabilia to even a walk on role in the film and a souvenir prop. Thanks, -J.L. Carrozza PS: Feel free to move this to "off topic" if you want. This is, however, a horror/fantasy based production. jlcarrozza.com Last Edited By: Uchujin65 Jan 3 12 4:05 PM.

I have also made an entire Tumblr account just devoted to the project. jlcarrozza.com

Aug 24 11 6:19 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I have been working hard on this film and have shot around 9 hours of footage and fifteen minutes of the script and we've only clocked five finished days of shooting. It's been stressful and up in the air as to whether I'll be able to do this in the span of time I'd like but the footage is looking good which is what matters the most. The real world scenes showing Alison's life before she goes to my hellish, grotesque low budget Wonderland are being more of a pain in the ass to shoot than I would have it, it's been tricky getting schedules synced and decent locations. I still haven't found a college willing to let me film some of the school scenes, we're just going to sneak into a few places to get some scenes in the nest couple weeks. Shooting is kind of lulled right now until Monday because of my lead actress' work schedule. Too lazy to embed, but there are some stills available and two new production diaries: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bYJojxqbXyg http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qJN01qlX2uc jlcarrozza.com

Sep 25 11 12:47 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	New production diary entry. I'll have more stills up soon, but I frequently post them to the film's Tumblr account. Sadly I have made the tough but necessary decision to postpone the Wonderland sequences until next spring and summer. I have about four days of real world sequences to go (already filmed about seven days worth of stuff) this year and have filmed a little over twenty minutes of the script. Scheduling has just been really rough and I just don't think I can pull the Wonderland scenes together with winter fast approaching, at first I thought it would be very cool to have Wonderland have autumn leaves but I really don't think I'll have the stuff together fast enough at this rate to film it all before winter hits, especially as more special effects, speaking roles, a larger crew, etc, will mean more conflicting schedules and things f***ing up and its already been rather brutal. The Mad Hatter sequences are literally all set to go right down to the last prop but I figured out that ironically I'll have to wait longer to finish the film if I want good continuity, since the leaves will have turned by the time the Hatter stuff goes before a lens and I'll need to wait until next fall to start again, it would be better I think to get it all next summer. I will start again in May with the Hatter stuff. jlcarrozza.com
