Hectic Films Behind the Scenes 6!

We decided to kill some time between filming and making a crappy behind the scenes video. This one is a little different from the rest. It has gun violence, puppet violence and camera violence. The stuff that dreams are made out of or what mythical creatures are made out of( you will think thats funny after you watch the video. Feel free to leave us a comment or a talk any smack you want..

Hectic Films Meeting about Badge 3!

Well since we have got such a great response from the Badge Episode 2 that we have started to meet up with the cast and make The Badge 3! We are also re-editing episode 2 to post The Badge 3 Directors cut. Poop produtions may also be joining the cast for episode 3. We have all really put our heads together on this one and hopefully the improv is still hot! We can also promise more explosions and gun fire in the action packed badge 3!

Well make our calendars for the next BIFF it will be coming this November. CLICK HERE to check out his revew.

CHECK OUT WHAT NICK SAID ABOUT US!

This is an article from N.L. Belardes aka Nick. This guy is awesome and had a lot of great things to say about us.... Thanks Nick!

Premiering for the first time at BIFF were many entries from Hectic Films, including the short film, “Medicated” on opening night (Stars Amanda Klawitter and Jason Sanders). Rickey Bird is an interesting young filmmaker and is just one of many people in the Hectic Films circle of up-and-coming moviemakers who all collaborate to make some really cool works of art. I met Rickey on day two of the Festival for an interview that will be on episode 36 of the Buck City Podcast. We talked about where Hectic Films is headed and about some of their production techniques.


Scene from "Medicated"

The guys from Hectic Films make dark dramas, some tongue-and-cheek, with most productions including messages revolving around the corrupt and often psychosomatic American culture of drugs, murder, insanity and cops. "Medicated" is a short film that builds on the idea of mankind dependent on medication. Without medication, man’s views of the world are an illusory path of darkness and fear. We see this theme through the eyes of a character who wonders if he took his meds. Other Hectic Films entries included: "Karma Police", "Badge Part One", "Fly on the Wall: Episode 1", and a trailer for their feature film, "Daft".

I really dig “Fly on the Wall”, a piece you can watch on the Hectic Films website along with all the other episodes I mentioned. Fly is about someone who may have committed murder in his own home. Did he? Watch the video and come to your own conclusions.

Music Videos???

Yep thats right. We are starting to make some music videos. Hopefully we will be starting the video for Throatshot soon. We spoke with some of the band members and we think we have a killer idea for their video. If you want your video to kick some rear. So with that said a few bands have asked us about doing their video. Well we decided to post our price list for videos. If you want to know more about getting a video click here to go to our videos page.

Hectic Films in the News!

We just got an article in the local South West Voice. One of the editor's asked us to write an article about ourselfs. So well we did. I have to give Brittany Bird most the credit because she re-worded a lot of what I said to make me look smart. The paper is free only if you live in Bakersfield. If you do live in bakersfield you should grab a copy and read it. We will be posting the article in on the website soon. But until then here is a list of where they have the newspaperin bakersfield. Find the one with the golden ticket and you may be able to go to the Hectic Films Studio in China. (Just kidding we really don't have a golden ticket)
