About this project

My passion for movie-making began at age 9 when, in my Chicago backyard, I made my first of 41 amateur films. Decades later I realized my dream, producing/writing/directing (so far) 6 independent professional feature-length, campy/sexy horror and fantasy movies – DINOSAUR VALLEY GIRLS, SCARLET COUNTESS, THE MUMMY’S KISS, COUNTESS DRACULA’S ORGY OF BLOOD, THE MUMMY’S KISS: 2ND DYNASTY and, the most recent. BLOOD SCARAB (see posters, below; also YouTube, search "Glutmovies") -- all of them released, e.g., TV, theatre, video, DVD (see Amazon), etc.

Next up -- but requiring financing – is a sexy yet scary female werewolf movie (sorry, the title is still secret; I don’t want anyone snagging it) about the last werewolf in Transylvania who flees to the USA and starts a brothel (or den) of lusty female werewolves, a beautiful “lost girl” who becomes a member of her “pack,” a charismatic Native American psychic investigating the gruesome “full moon murders” and … oops!, I don’t want to give away too much of the plot.

The movie will shoot in Hollywood and nearby Southern  California areas.

Making these movies is relatively easy – at least compared to getting them financed, which is really tough (especially in today’s economy). In a perfect world, I – and the people I work with – could be turning out two or more films per year. But, at the rate I’ve been able to raise money, it’s taken more than a decade and a half just to make only six movies.

I’ve already written the screenplay. It’s been “bare-bones” budgeted at $150,000…but can really use $200K to be done “right” (better cast, longer shooting schedule, higher production values, etc). All the movies I’ve written and directed look several times more expensive than they cost to make – because I work with very talented and dedicated people who put all the money up on the screen. And all my films have considerable fan followings.

Hopefully Kickstarter will get our cameras rolling before the next full moon!

Thanks,

Don Glut
