Hold up - New Stories!

I had been working on the script for what has come to be called "Zombie Girl." Far from a real title also far from finished. The story was coming along fine when I started researching indie film on the internet, specifically horror shorts. I wanted to get a good idea of what people were doing and how I could make it better. This is part of my process.
I found "You're scaring the children", by Soren Narnia. The film leaves a bit to be desired as far as film production, but the story had me hooked. The creepy quality of the film did add to the peculiar story of this man's childhood. It was a good time spent and I had to get in touch with him about the story. I thought the imagery of the events would be great on film. So I wrote him a note and he actually responded to me!
He gave me the go ahead to make the story into a film. He even sent me his ebook "Knifepoint Horror". You should check out his blog, he is one creatively cool writer. I was really fond of the story about the batting machine in first person.
Since he gave me permission and full artistic license to make his story, I am stopping pre- production on Zombie Girl. We are now focusing on getting You're scaring the children up and running. Fortunately, the actors i have talked to about the zombie flick don't mind acting in this film either. woot!
Along with a bunch of other things, video blogging will commence in the next few days. Let's hope the lens doesn't break. ha!
