Curiouser & Curiouser

Curiouser, as some of you may already know is the first project being handled by Red Queen's Revenge. What most of you don't know was actually had this project even came to be.

Now this little project has been stewing around in my head for a few years now, and honestly is bares little similarity to what it started out as. This whole thing was actually never even meant to be a film, as it's roots started out with me having some twisted idea to attempt to write a crossover story involving "Alice in Wonderland" and "The Wizard of Oz". So I started piecing together what would be this huge elaborate story of the fall of Wonderland and it's rebirth, which would transform it in to the land of Oz as we know it from the children's stories. I started making some dents in a outline, where Alice's downfalls actually were the catalyst in the tragic destruction of the world and throughout the story she would be seeking her redemption. Sadly, the concept just got tucked back in the corner of my mind and collected dust.

Other goofy projects started jumping in my head as friends and I joked about doing a horror film. I think we eventually plateaued when our final idea was to do a film called "Zombie Vampires at Bikini Beach"..... No, I'm really not kidding. We actually got to the point of coming up with a retarded story in outline form, and started discussing the logistics of shooting this abortion of a "B" movie. Tastefulness prevailed.

Not too long after all of these events, my fiancée's good friend invited the two of us to her film premier in Philadelphia to see the debut of her short film "Pisces". I was totally blown away, and as much as I hate to admit I was also insanely jealous that someone I knew had actually made a film before me. This was the kick in the ass I needed, and literally within minutes of her film ending I got a pen and paper from my fiancée and began to write. Alice was front and center in my thoughts, and as my opening line hit the page "Curiouser" was born.

Later this week, I'll have a nice little spread and some other fun little things to share all about the film. Stay tuned!
