From The Director's Chair: The Garage's Tony Gardner

Hey there.

Today, I'm starting a new segment on the blog site, "From The Director's Chair".

This will give the directors of the webisodes to talk a little bit about their episode and some of their work behind the scenes.

To begin, here's a piece from the director of Episode 3: "The Garage", Tony Gardner:

Hey everyone,
It’s Tony Gardner from Iron Angel Film Productions
I just want to take this time to thank Mark for the opportunity for us to make this short contribution to the web series.
I have now known Mark for a couple of years and he has been a great online friend of mine, we both share a passion for film making and also Werewolf movies in particular.
This always leaves us with loads to talk about when we get in touch online.
Through these online conversations Mark had mentioned the web series and I was hooked on the idea straight from the start.
This was something I was looking forward to taking part in and did not want to miss the chance.

The film I was currently in production with "Dense Fear 2 " came to a stand still due to lack of funds , so I saw this as a great opportunity to get writing another script for "The Mark Of The Wolf" web series. whilst my other movie was on hold.
I came up with several ideas for a short movie, I also wrote the scripts in a way I knew would not cost any money to shoot the final film.
Me and Mark talked about the ideas I had and I emailed him the script for "The Garage"
Mark was really happy for me to go ahead with this idea, so I wasted no time in contacting my team of actors.

I was also lucky enough to have Kerriann Hearn who played the main part as the captured girl.
Kerriann actually had acting experience before, starring in a professional British movie "The Conkerers" so it was fantastic! having her onboard for the first time.
The completed movie did not cost a thing just as planned.
It was shot on a very basic hand held DV Canon camcorder.
The make up used in the movie was stuff I already had from previous movies.
All in all we had three great months of shooting this movie, and it’s an adventure we won’t forget.
Hope you all enjoy it
Thanks

I definitely want to again thank Tony and his cast and crew for their work with this episode. I understand that plans are in the works for additional scenes to be filmed for this episode and that they will be included when the webseries heads to DVD next year. I'll keep you posted.

In the coming weeks, watch for more Director's Chair posts from the other directors in the series including Will Phelps and Brad Fish, who directed the first two episodes respectively.
