Here’s a new wrinkle in the crowdfunding game. Gremlins helmer Joe Dante began shooting the horror comedy Burying The Ex before the film’s producers set out to raise funding throughFundanything.com/buryingtheex. The film stars Star Trek’s Anton Yelchin, Twilight Saga’s Ashley Greene, Alexandra Daddario and Oliver Cooper. This service gives contributors the opportunity to actively participate in the making of the film, based on the level of their contribution. The rewards include set visits, lunch with the directors, and the usual tchotchkes. Alan Trezza wrote the script. Cassian Elwes is executive producing along with Voltage’s Nicolas Chartier, Zev Foreman and Dominic Rustam. ArtImage Entertainment, Scooty Woop Entertainment and Act 4 Entertainment are producing. Yelchin plays a normal guy who dates a beautiful but overbearing gal (Greene) who becomes a nightmare when they move in together. He’s afraid to break up with her and...

Since his last foray onto the big screen with The Hole in 2009, Joe Dante has been kicking it in TV land, directing episodes of Splatter and Hawaii Five-o. That’s all about to change, however, as this former apprentice of Roger Corman is set to return to cinemas with Burying The Ex.
The forthcoming horror-comedy features a script by newcomer Alan Trezza, who already made his own short film of the story back in 2008. It tells the tale of young couple, Max and Evelyn, whose relationship runs aground when they move in together, and Max discovers an unpleasant, controlling and manipulative side to his partner. While fearfully pondering how best to break up with her, fate intervenes and Evelyn is killed in a freak accident. Problem solved, as far as Max is concerned but, as he tries to move on with new love interest Olivia, Evelyn rises from the dead,...

One gets the impression that a dozen intriguingly bizarre films are always swirling around the mind of director Joe Dante, and it is a displeasure to see that the most recent work from him happened back in 2009 with “The Hole." Since then, a ‘60s-set biopic about Roger Corman and the ghost story “Casting The Runes” with Simon Pegg have been bandied about as potential next projects, but now some financing has come through for another, and it contains the kind twisted comedy and horror elements that you’d expect from the “Gremlins” helmer. The Wrap reports that Voltage Pictures has agreed to finance and produce “Burying The Ex," a new horror comedy written by Alan Trezza and set to star actor Anton Yelchin, Ashley Greene (“The Twilight Saga”), Alexandra Daddario (“Percy Jackson”) and Oliver Cooper (“Project X”). The film follows a young man, Max (Yelchin), as he moves in with...

Nathan Bezner, 18 min
Nathan Bezner has a lens and that lens has one function: obliterate the edges of every scene in saturated florescent light (see Antibody for comparison). The main problem I have with this is that while it allows the film as a whole to be more hyper-real than real, it also sucks the real out of things you want to look real (like feces on a toilet [watch the film and you’ll see what I mean, it’s not like that’s a specific interest of mine or anything]). Story: Prosaic janitor narrates his way through the doldrums of life including his relationship to the holiest of thrones.
Burying The Ex
Alan Trezza, 15 min
Part boy-meets-girl with a dash of zombie and a whole heaping of American Pie. Burying the Ex is a funny short dealing with the irrational pining of a young man over his long-ex, though recently dead, girlfriend. His roommate is the mac player extraordinaire who sets him up on a blind date with a young fowl-mouthed vixen.
