Female main character on some sort of supernatural scavenger hunt? The ending sets up the beginning of your next flick? Or in reverse.
Well, actually it's a pretty darned-good idea that you mentioned I connect the two. I will be giving it some very serious thought. But they would be two separate stories, completely. The Supernatural Road Trip is pretty locked in stone, at least in the overall structure of the story, and the arc that our hero takes. And that hero would nowhere be seen in this first movie (nor anything supernatural), should I choose to connect them.
If they are to be connected, it would be in this way -- in the 2nd movie, somebody has to die (that's a plot-line central to the entire story). And we really need the audience to not want them to die. Of course, in the 2nd movie, I would have to give the audience plenty reason to not want them to die, self-contained in that movie. But it might also be really cool to give that character their own entire movie, not as a prequel, but more along the lines of existing in the same universe, and the lead character in one movie just so happens to be a smaller (but important) character in the 2nd movie.
ROC -- actually, yes please, and thank you! The timing of "Antihero" was perhaps it's biggest problem. For casting reasons, I had to shoot in Summer. But I wasn't really ready to shoot in the Summer in which I shot it. For personal reasons, I simply wasn't willing to wait a full year until the following Summer. The end-result was that the production was Run-and-Gun, absolute chaos. I'm very happy with the movie, and it has resulted in many positive developments, but I'm not going to do anything like that again. On this next ultra-low-budgeter, it is a VERY high priority of mine to shore-up the production-weaknesses that exist in "Antihero", all of which resulted from the rushed production. And to that end, one of my missions, over the next half-year, is to personally become more competent at planning-for, and gathering better audio.
