Production Shuts Down on "The Talbert Terror"

Update #9 · Jul 24, 2012 · comment

This is a somber morning, as I was not able to raise the necessary funds on Kickstarter to cover principal photography for my film, The Talbert Terror. Kickstarter has a policy of all-or-nothing funding, so although the campaign managed to raise close to $3800 in pledges (over 27% of the goal), no funds were collected (and therefore, no credit cards charged) and no funds will be dispersed.

For this reason, I have decided to shut down production for the time being, take a break, and possibly re-visit the project at a later date. Thank you to all of my backers for your support and commitment to this film.

We're Coming To The End

Update #8 · Jul 22, 2012 · comment

Just a reminder that Monday, July 23 is the last day to make a pledge and help us meet or exceed our goal to raise $14,000 to cover principal photography. If we do not hit our goal, the production will, unfortunately, be shut down and everyone who has committed to the project will have to be let out of their agreements.

Thank you to everyone who has pledged already! We would not have made it this far without you!!

Nicolette Kenney Joins The Cast

Update #6 · Jul 16, 2012 · comment

Erwin Entertainment announced today, July 16, 2012, that Nicolette Kenney has joined the cast of their upcoming film The Talbert Terror, playing the role of Kitten, a snobbish, bratty 20-something, niece to one of Mandy's friends, who would rather spend the day at the pool listening to her iPod and texting her friends than go on a hike with "the old folks."

Director Todd Erwin noted, "As soon as I met Nikki, I felt she was a good fit, not only for the role of Kitten, but to our style of movie making as well. It's great to have her on board." Nicolette was recently seen in The Asylum's Zombie Apocalypse 2012 as one of the zombies in the made-for SyFy Channel movie.

With less than 10 days to go, we have reached 11% of our goal of raising $14,000 to cover principal photography for The Talbert Terror.

I'd like to thank all 12 of our initial backers for their generous pledges of support for our project during the first week.
