Filmmaking for the masses

 

告诉全世界你的故事

When it comes to making films we have only one principle: get your arse off the sofa and go shoot!  Simple but wise.  Today’s technology has finally brought filmmaking to everyone’s doorstep.  All you need is an idea and a few friends with a hell of a drive.

Current Film Projects:

Quake Beam -- Today is the Day  --  Fight A Little

QUAKE BEAM

a film by juan vargas

Deadly spy Tamara is sent to stop Patrick, a scientist, from selling the Quake Beam technology, which would allow you to create massive earthquakes in any point of the planet.  Aware of the potential for chaos, heaven sends an angel to convince Tamara to destroy the technology once she steals it; and the devil sends a daemon to make sure it all ends up in the Third World War... Starring Puki Bauer, Leslie Ronsivalle and Francesco Ronsivalle.

This feature film is an experimental project in what “might” become an indie niche: improvised features.  We came with a plot, a scene list and a shooting schedule, that’s all.  Then, we meet on the shooting days and improvise the dialogues and shot list, and shoot it before security comes...  We know, the danger of  coming up with a crappie movie is imminent, but somebody has to take that risk and, hell, why should jazz players have all the fun of improvising?


Anyway, stay tuned for the premiere sometime this summer.  And if you want to appear in a scene, email us at juan@meiwentiproductions.com. We are shooting on weekends, and expect to wrap up the movie on May 22.
