***Updated: New Video made by Laura Aguirre Added***
Our fifth and final film of Do Not Disturb, entitled Death Takes a Holiday Inn, written and directed by Brandon Nicholas, starring Diva Zappa, Jason Alan Smith, and myself, Mali Elfman, was wrapped a couple of weeks ago and we finally have a little behind the scenes look for you to watch!
All the films are currently being edited and are headed towards picture lock by the 30th of December. After we raise a bit more money they’ll all be on their way to being scored (we’ll announce who is doing that soon, we’ve got some really talented people in the works) and color corrected.
Enjoy…

We’re getting close to the end of our “making of” videos for Do Not Disturb. Below we have some behind the scenes footage of Jon Mann-Krieger‘s Intrinsic starring Jason Alan Smith, Diva Zappa, Troy Garity and myself, Mali Elfman. All the films are currently being edited, I saw a rough cut of one of them last night (won’t tell you which) and to my delight it was amazing. I can’t even begin to explain how excited I was to see that it’s coming together so well. More on that later, for now check out the making of Intrinsic below…

We just wrapped Do Not Disturb two days ago and while on a major come-down and tearing apart our set, I received a few stills from our grand finale taken by photographer Brendan Holmes. Our final two films, Intrinsic by Jon Mann-Krieger and Death Takes a Holiday Inn by Brandon Nicholas both use the same cast in two very different stories that interlace with one another. Both directors had one day to shoot their film and another cross over day in which they shared the set. It was probably one of the most difficult ways of doing things but somehow it managed to work!
Below are photos of our two directors along with cast members Jason Alan Smith, Diva Zappa, Troy Garity and myself…

Above you have Diva Zappa, Jason Alan Smith, and myself, from Brandon Nicholas’ Death Takes a Holiday Inn and Jon Mann-Krieger’s Intrinsic!
It got rather sticky towards the end… literally, Diva and I were stuck onto almost everything we touched due to the massive amounts of fake blood poured (and squirted) all over. I managed to stain my computer and walk into a bar looking more bloody than I am in the above picture, she some how managed to stain (almost) nothing and clean herself off before appearing in public (apparently, I still have a lot of learning to do).
Aside from having to sit in make-up chair for 5 hours today, we had an amazing shoot. We wrapped Death Takes a Holiday Inn, our grand finale for Do Not Disturb and the entire film series. We posted some bloody photos earlier but here are a few proper photos taken by our set photographer Brendan Holmes for ya….

Only two days left on my project Do Not Disturb. Today we’re finishing off Jon Mann-Krieger’s Intrinsic and then moving on to Brandon Nicholas’ Death Takes a Holiday Inn. Yesterday was my first day acting on my very own project and despite not being able to sleep the night before and some butterflies in my stomach for the first take, it was such a blast!
