All images, photographs and videos contained within this site are copyrighted material.
As the site title reads, I am an independent digital filmmaker. As you may have already guessed, my primary genre of interest is the horror film genre. There are several purposes for this website. Besides the obvious purpose of promoting my movies and helping people become aware of my filmmaking activities, I'm hoping the site will also encourage correspondence with other filmmakers and those interested in independent and underground cinema. Additionally, it is my hope this space on the web will be very
entertaining as well. The site has a lot of cool pictures, movie trailers, and posters from many of the movies, which I hope everybody will enjoy.
Below is an overview of the different site pages:
The What's New page is where you will find a listing of all the latest site updates,
including any new additions to this page. I generally add new content at the beginning
of each month, with occasional additional updates during the month. To view past monthly site updates see the Past Updates page.
On the Biography page I talk about my background, how I got into making independent movies in the first place, and what horror movies influenced me while I was growing up.
This page also contains a large section of yearly biography updates, as well as several promotional and behind-the-scenes photos from my movies.
I hope you enjoy the
Very Scary Productions
website, and once again
thanks for visiting.
Sincerely,
Jeff Kirkendall
Very Scary Productions
Keep on Filming!!
There are several pages that describe my movie projects in detail:
On "The Temptress" Page you will find information about my 2003 independent vampire feature "The Temptress". I decided to give this movie a separate space because it was what I would call my first "professional-quality" feature - shot in the digital video format. This page now contains an extended background and history
of the movie, a gallery of large movie stills, an original poster and DVD box artwork, and quotes from film reviewers and other independent filmmakers.
Information on all of my current and upcoming movie productions can be found on the Upcoming Movies page. My most recent directorial project detailed here is the short film comedy "Of Theatre & Bikinis". This movie was my first non-horror picture which
I made along with my production partner James Carolus. It's a lighthearted story about
a college student looking to become a Hollywood actress. "Of Theatre & Bikinis" stars Heather Blossom Brown, James Carolus and Marie DeLorenzo.
Details about projects from filmmakers and artists that I'm working with can be found
on the Other Projects pages - 1, 2 & 3. Often these are projects I'm performing post-production duties on. Currently there is information on the following independent features:"The Edge Of Reality" & "London After Midnight" (Other Projects Page 1), "Shadow Tracker Vampire Hunter: Resurrection" & "The Drowned"
On the Movie Trailers page you can view movie trailers for recent productions.
The Casting page lists current casting announcements from both myself and other Upstate New York-based filmmakers. The Media page contains newspaper articles, links to reviews and interviews, and other media coverage related to the projects.
On the Out & About pages - 1, 2, 3 & 4 - there is information on live movie screenings I've hosted or been involved with. These pages also include many photos taken at the live events (when available). And the Merchandise page provides links to places where movies detailed on this site can be purchased. This includes both my own movies
(Very Scary Productions), as well as movies I've worked on with other filmmakers,
such as Joe Bagnardi of JB Productions.
In addition, there is a page listing my Acting Credits, as that is something else (besides filmmaking) that I've been active in for awhile now. Several of the parts I've played have been in productions from other filmmakers. I have also acted in some of my own movies, and many of these projects are mentioned here as well. This page also talks about various television and radio interviews I've done over the years.
where I discuss different topics (both horror-related
and not). Each month I will post a new column, and the previous column will be moved into the Thoughts Archives, which are grouped by year - 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007 & 2008. (For example the year 2002 will have all the columns I wrote that year).
The main menu for accessing the different areas of the site appears both at the
top-left and bottom of each page.
To skip the overview and find out about current site updates, see the What's New page.
And finally, the Very Scary Productions Links page contains text links, and the Banners page contains banner links, to other websites. There are links to sites dealing with actors, musicians, independent filmmakers, movie reviews, and of course horror films. There are also Very Scary Productions web banners (featuring the lady vampire on the welcome page) on each of these pages for those who would like to link to this site. (Links are of course greatly appreciated!)
