Kickstarter for Monster Girls.

MAKE TELEVISION BETTER. A RELEVANT DARK COMEDY ABOUT MONSTERS IN THEIR 20s in LA

My name is Will Holt, and I am a Company Member with the ambitious theater and film development company, A Working Theater. We've done a lot of great work this past year…

Just a bit of silliness made for a Kino London challenge. The audience couldn't make up their minds on the night I was assigned the challenge criteria, so I ended up having to combine two different things:

1) The entire world wakes up one morning with squeaky voices,

and:

2) "Revenge of the Folksinger."

No zombies in this one, but there are aliens. ;)…

A friend recorded this novelty Christmas song some years ago, then found out - about four weeks ago - that it had been included in a compilation album of Christmas songs. At which point he asked me to make him a music video for it in a hurry.

It nearly killed me, but I managed to get it done. So here is my first - and possibly my last! ;) - ever attempt at making a music video. No zombies in it, alas, but FWIW, there are a few dancing snowmen. ;)

BTW,…

I actually finished this a few weeks ago, but I've been so busy working on a new animation - for the Halloween Monster Movie Challenge 2012 - I haven't had the time to post it to youtube until this morning.

And I don't really have the time now; I'm nowhere near finished with my monster challenge movie, but with Halloween rapidly approaching I figured I'd better take an hour out to get this thing on youtube. ;)

Hope you enjoy…

I seem to be getting more and more into animation these days. "Dust" was made for a competition, for which I had to make a three minute film on the theme of: "Heaven and Hell." 

Though I didn't win -- boo-hoo! - I was told afterwards that Dust had come in a very close second. 

BTW, I'm currently editing my next video: "Your Guide to the Zombie Apocalypse."

It's another animation - and animation can take a lot of time - so it may be a while before I post it here.…

Once again no zombies... but lots of people being crushed by giant falling rocks.

Hope you enjoy it. ;)

Here's my latest new video.

Though once again, I've neglected to include any zombies, it does have a bit of screaming. ;)

This is my first day here. I'm looking forward to getting to know a lot of people and making new friends. 
My cousin and I recently started a group called IndieForgeMedia, where we do short videos and stuff. Our first real project is a Zombie Webseries called Dead Hunters. We're starting principal photography in Augest, right now we're getting ready as best we can. Keep checking back for updates and how you can help!

I posted the original version of May Be Side Effects here more than a year ago. Then last October, I submitted it for a Halloween screening in London where all of the films had to be under six minutes long. And at 6:48, it was way too long!

I eventually got it down to five minutes and fifty-four seconds. The new, shorter, version has been shown at a couple of screenings - including the Halloween screening which prompted me to cut it down in the first place - where it…

Christmas has always been a traditional time of making videos with lots of explosions and special effects, so here's what I've been up to over the last couple of days. ;)…

Here's my latest. I just finished editing it today so it's hot off the press (so to speak).

Once again I must apologise for the lack of zombies. But there are plenty of eyeballs. ;)

Sorry I post here so rarely, but these days my time is almost completely taken up with writing, shooting, and editing silly little videos. It's become a kind of addiction. ;)

When a new edit of my zombie film, May Be Side Effects, was shown at Kino London last month, I accepted yet another challenge to make a film with whatever title they pulled from a hat. And this time the title the hat produced was: "The Last Santa."

To me, that title just screamed…

After The Dealer's Club won the top prize (called The Golden Quickie Award) at the Quickflck London screening on the 8th of June, in a fit of hubris I decided to have another go, with the result that I've spent the last six weeks or so immersed in the making of a new video, this time on the theme of: "Mirror."

I finally finished the new video last Friday, just in time for it to be shown at the Quickflick London screening on Tuesday the 26th of July, where.... guess…

Thought the following news item might amuse:

Also, my short video, The Dealer's Club, was shown at the Quickflick London screening the…

I made this for Quickflick London, a bi-monthly festival of short films made on a specific theme. Though Quickflick is not a 48 hour challenge competition, for me it might as well have been because I only found out about it a few days before the submission deadline of Monday, the 9th of May.

Films had to be on the theme of: "Dealer." So, in a desperate bid to make the deadline, I hurriedly dashed off a script and rounded up some people to be in the…

My latest attempt at editing. Still no zombies, but it was shot after dark (on my phone) at a fairground, so think of it as location scouting for Zombieland 2. ;)

One of the main problems I encountered with trying to make May Be Side Effects was that I had to rely on other people to do the things I could not do myself, such as the editing. (Though I tend to know which shots I want to use and in which order, I don't have the technical expertise to use an editing program, and so am invariably reduced to standing over someone else's shoulder shouting: "No, not there! There!")

I got an iphone 4 (which shoots…
