About Bong Of The Dead Movie

Bong Of The Dead successfully wrapped on time on October 3rd, bringing a smooth ending to a long and demanding shoot. It was a grueling 15 day production with little time to spare as a small group of dedicated cast and crew members consisting of mainly friends and family as well as Indie film makers and mainstream professionals who all came together in order to help Thomas Newman realize his vision.

Bong of the Dead By Mind In Motion Inc.

In late 2008 first time director Thomas Newman pursued his vision of creating his first masterpiece calling card film with only $5000. He set out with a single camera and a crew consisting mainly of friends and family and began production. After a grueling 15 day shooting schedule the film was finished on October 3rd 2008 and ready for post production. Thomas headed into his basement in-home editing suite and began the process of creating what has actually already been dubbed as a "cult hit"! He would dedicate the next 3 years of his life faced with even more grueling hours all the while burdened by financial stress and digital mayhem. From computer software glitches to hard drive failures and even losing the entire movie at one point, he was able to maintain focus and complete his movie to the last final detail by himself.

After completing the movie Thomas Newman immediately retained the services of Rob Straight of Horizon Motion Pictures in Vancouver. Rob saw the efforts that Thomas had poured into his first movie and was impressed at the final results. He instantly saw the film as marketable and therefore immediately signed the filmmaker in order to represent him as his Sales Agent at film markets and festivals around the world. Most recently Bong Of The Dead was taken to Cannes by Rob Straight who screened the movie for the world for the first time on May 12th and 14th at the official Cannes Independent Film Festival. By working together Thomas has been able to secure distribution for his film in Belgium, Benelux, The Netherlands and most recently Australia!

The filmmaker hopes to soon have domestic distribution in the US and Canada therefore making his first indy feature film a true global success.

Co-producer Mike Fields also brought his extensive track record as a special FX make-up artist to the film. His masterful make-up FX wizardry is showcased thought out the entire movie from start to finish! Gore fans from all over the world have agreed that Bong Of The Dead is "The" cult movie to watch out for this year!
