UPDATE 12/16

HOLY FUCKING MOSES! AN UPDATE WITHIN DAYS OF THE LAST!

It's a miracle, I know. This usually never happens. Ever. Well, maybe once or twice, but it was an accident. This, my good readers, is not. It is an update that will BLOW YOUR MIND. So much so that you will have to re-wallpaper (if you have wallpaper, that is). The so urgent, so awesomely kick ass that Chuck Norris himself salutes, update is:


are you ready for it?




like really ready?




okay then, here it is:


We're making Crucifiction Friday into a feature-length film! Isn't that great? I know some of you are probably saying "no". You shouldn't. Really. It's going to be a billion times better than the original.

The reason I'm writing this is because I just started the screenplay for it, and let me tell you it's good. Jared and I have been talking briefly about it and I decided to bring it to fruition. I will tell you more in the later days, for I'm not done yet.

For now, chew on this underdone nugget of information and await further details of your hopefully favorite film company.

Peace out from yours truly.

Update 12/11

HOLY MOTHER OF FUCK it's been quite a while! I know I say that every time, but it's just as true each and every one. Anyways, I had an epiphany last night. It consisted of one of the best film ideas I've ever had up to this point. I haven't worked out all the details as of yet, but I will be ironing them out over the coming days (or weeks, or months). I have picked out a title: "The Visitors". I know, it sounds cliche. It's not. It is to be a totally different IP from our current lineup of tasty tidbits. I hope you like it.

That said, I wanted to mention Project "Dull". Jared and I haven't talked about it and it still doesn't have a completed screenplay. I do, however, still have an interest in the project and it may come to fruition in the future.

That's all of the shit that I can think of for now, my brain feels sleepy. If I can think of anything after this post I will, as always, update each and every one of you.

That being said, I shall say adieu and goodnight. Yours truly.

Update 10/25

Wow, it's been a while. I don't know if anybody DOES read this, but I'm sorry to the people that do for I have been slacking major. A lot of shit has been going down here. A LOT! For a period I thought I was done making films. But alas, I'm back on track and there should be new content on the way.

OP to go HD!!!

Yes, the headline is true, I have been contemplating this move for a while now, but never thought it would happen. And wouldn't you know it, I was surfing around Amazon at one in the morning (a usual habit for me) and something caught my eye: a Canon VIXIA HF10. It's only $807! As you can see this is a great deal since it shoots in FULL 1080p!
Before, when I was perusing Sony the only fairly good full 1080p was over $1000, and, as you could probably tell from the budget of my films, I don't have that kind of money. Well, I do, but I don't. It's kind of a pickle.

Anyways, I will have the money in the coming months, so you'll be seeing higher quality films shortly. I will also be purchasing a windsocked boom mic for your listening pleasure as well.

So, without further ado, I shall take my leave. Keep watching and keep faith in us. Yours truly.

Update 8/12

WOW! It's been quite a jaunt since I've filled your head with our banter, so I'll pack it in so tight it'll be only half digested next update! Anyways, back to the REAL subject, Project "Dull" is still underway. Jared is expanding the script, for, if I haven't already stated, we're planning to submit this to Sundance. We're hoping that it will be long enough to be in the "feature" category. So far it's still in the pre-production stage, but with some luck it'll be on it's way soon.

In other news, I wanted to be the first to tell you about my new script. I know that it seems like we keep coming up with projects and scrapping them, but that's how us indies do it. Never fret on those scrapped projects, I assure you that some of them will probably be revisited. Okay, though, back to what I was saying before: I'm writing a new script. Sierra has helped tremendously by chatting with me about ideas for it and I'm sure it will pay off. What I will say about it is that it's about an angry, and horrendously ugly, redneck hermaphrodite woman and her gay son. If I have your attention there then keep reading. The woman, whose name is Margret Spermdumpster-Pedittle, is visited by her son and finds out that he's gay, and, if that's not enough, she has a rare form of brain cancer which makes her lash out in violent ways. The film is jokingly entitled: "Bitch with a 12 Gauge". Expect it sometime in the future, probably when I make Overlord Pictures a full-fledged production company.

Well, that's it for now! Stay tuned and keep giving us your support by watching and commenting on our movies and/or downloading our free podcast (which is optimized for iPod). Yours truly signing out.

Update 7/14

Big things are cooking here at the big OP! We have a large project in the works and I'm gonna give you a little inside skivvy on what it pertains to. First of all, we have a re-cut of "serial KILLER" out and on the web. The reason I brought that up is that we're expanding our horizons on the new project and making a "Near-Feature", meaning it's going to be quite long. The "expanding horizons" meaning stretching our skills and use of visual effects. As you can tell, if you've watched "serial KILLER (REDUX)", we're trying to find new ways for our films to astound. That said, I'll stop yanking your short hairs and tell you what's going on. The project is named "Dull". It is written by our one and only Jared Jacobs and is going to be starring a few fresh faces. For the time being I'm still trying to figure out the look and feel of the "distorted reality" of the film. It's going to be in a whole different ballpark from our past films and will hopefully change some people's minds on OP.

On another note, with nothing to do with film, I've gotten married! I've been too busy to update with the great news as the event in question happened on the 3rd, but here it is! Yes, that's correct, we have a new hand aboard the flagship of Overlord Pictures!

Be well, readers, and don't forget to check back every now and then for the few and far between updates. This is yours truly signing out.

Mission Statement

I have a task for you to complete if you wish. Tell everyone you know, on- and off-line, about the awesomeness that is Overlord Pictures. Send them a link or this message with the link: Overlord Pictures

If they are off-line, then tell them about the site. The mission is to spread the OP name and vision. Please help us.

By the way, please forward this message to all.

BIG NEWS!!!!!!

If you are reading this after trying to find the link on the old site, I'm so sorry. Things the past few days have been interesting in the Overlord Pictures area. I got my new iMac (which I am writing from this moment) and I redesigned the website. I tried my hardest to keep the .com, but alas my tech wizardry is rusty and I had to revert to a .net. So, as you can gather, to get to the site you just switch out the endings. Simple. Now about the site: It's quite in its infancy state so you won't find much on it, but I will be working during all of my free time to update.

Also, Overlord Pictures will be starting a podcast! It won't be out for a while, but when it is you can subscribe from the convenient button that will be on the site.

So, in all, please be patient and everything will go as smooth as silk.


P.S. The CD idea has been put on the back burner until further notice.

Update 5/12

I have some interesting news for everyone here: I'm making a CD! Yes, Overlord Pictures has expanded from just film to music as well! And as such, I have decided to branch out and create Overlord Records for my music. The CD will be available (hopefully) sometime in June, July at latest.

Here's the album art for you to gawk at until the release:

 

P.S. There IS a joke about the title and the covers, see if you can figure it out :P

Update 5/5

It's been a while, I know, but I thought I would drop this line to notify those who give a damn that I'm not dead and that I've been writing and saving like crazy (I'm now $286 away from my goal). This is good news for you all because that means new website and more (even better) films. So, keep your hopes up and I shall deliver, say around June.

Update 4/5/08

Hello to all three of you that view this! I have some news for you that will be somewhat shocking (if you actually watch our films). We're holding off filming for a while till I get my Mac. I know I've said it before, but this time I mean it. I believe it's the right choice ('cause video editing suites on pc suck ass).

 

So, with this news in hand, you'll probably have to wait a few more months till "Mr. Contract", but I assure you that it will rock your bloody fucking socks off!

News 'n shit

We have a slight update for you here, steaming with it's pungent stench of newsy goodness. Mr. Contract is still set to be filmed sometime in the coming months along with our stalker film and the final "Ex" film. Yes, it's true, we're going back to our roots with the latest "Ex" film due to come out in June (don't take that too literally, I'm sure all two of you that read this know me well enough to know that that can change).

 

In other news, we have a new branch, though I'm not exactly sure how organized or true to the OP brand they are 'cause Jared's the one with the updates, of Overlord Pictures in San Diego, CA led by the one and only Notorious Mr. Pimp. We hope with every strand of our futile beings that our slow conquering of the world through film will be victorious, but alas, only time (and fans) can tell.

New Hosting!!!!!!

Our videos will now be posted on Veoh. I will update our site later with these videos. Please also note that any new films will be both on our new hosting, and YouTube.

An easier way to view all our films on YouTube

You can just keep posted here and watch all our films (new and old) on this nifty new player:

Macworld 08

I have just finished watching the expo and I am astounded by the achievements that Apple has made in just 2 weeks! I mean my god! The MacBook Air is a tantalizing subject for mine eyes. I can't wait for the next keynote!

 

Dammit I want a Mac now!

New Films!!!!

We have some new films here at the OP. This post is kinda late, but at least it's being made.

The films include:

HELENA CITY NIGHTS

THIRD REICH HAIR SALON
