An Executive Decision to Take Thanksgiving Off

I had a post that I was working on, but I've made an executive decision to take the day off. So, instead, I'm going to post the latest video from Fewdio which has a Thanksgiving-ish theme, sort of.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone, we'll be back tomorrow! And take my advice, drink heavily tonight (today).

2 minutes and 46 Seconds of Terror from FEWDIO

You guys may remember the interview we posted a few weeks back on FEWDIO, the group that's making all the awesome horror shorts. Here's a link to the post, if you didn't check it out. Well, FEWDIO is BACK with a new short, called "Bedfellows" and you can check out the 2 minutes and 46 seconds of terror here or just scroll to the bottom and push play.

Also, we should mention that their site is now up and running, find it here... and, for the count, that's three shorts that they've put out there. A personal favorite, "The Easter Bunny is Eating My Candy", "Creep" and now this...

Just a side note. I was talking with Drew Daywalt, one of the members of FEWDIO, about the interview that we did with them. Unfortunately, he wasn't there, but he listened to the whole damned thing and had a thought come to mind. I've decided to post it here, as it's something that I think all indie horror filmmakers should hear, if only because it's somewhat inspirational. "It's always been said that "writers write." And that could never be said about directors, because the palette to direct was so damned expensive and complicated... until now, with the amazing new access to low cost film capabilities. So, to the writers, I say, "Writers write." And to the directors, I say, "Directors direct."

Spot on Drew... and I can't wait to see what FEWDIO comes up with next!

FEWDIO - A bunch of horror guys that you should be keeping an eye on...

There's a distinct possibility that you haven't heard of Fewdio or "Nightmare House" yet, but starting August 6th, I think you're going to start hearing a lot more. Actually, if you're a regular reader, you may have heard us talk about them or their first short film, "The Easter Bunny is Eating my Candy", already. Either way, these guys are really on to something big, they're definitely a group to keep an eye on and, over here at Dead Harvey, we're already big fans.

What I really appreciate and love about the five guys that make up Fewdio is that they have all cut their chops in the industry successfully, having established themselves as screenwriters, directors, actors and producers. Then, one day, they woke up and decided to say "F it" and started Fewdio... and what Fewdio's doing, as far as I'm concerned, is trail-blazing. They're making a collection of horror shorts and are trying new ways of distribution by throwing stuff out there using the web, festivals and networking...

Brad and I had a chance to sit down with three of the five Fewdio members a few weeks ago, have a bunch of beers and shoot the shit... they're an extremely talented bunch of guys and they're really on to something with what they're doing. We'll be sure to keep you posted on all Fewdio activity, but until then... take a listen to what they had to say.
