  • Urban Nights Insider 4 – Late Night Footage

    After completing filming for Urban Nights segment Late Night Stranger a couple of weeks ago – see the Urban Nights blog for details – It was decided that some behind-the-scenes footage I took on the set should become the fourth episode of the series Urban Nights Insider.

    This episode features a short message from Producer Shelby Jones (me!), and some behind-the-scenes footage from The Late Night Stranger that I shot. It’s really funny! =)

    I plan to continue making episodes to keep everyone updated with current Urban Nights progress.  As mentioned earlier, the official Urban Nights blog is also a great resource.

  • Urban Nights Press Release

    Patrick Farmer’s Urban Nights

    Fulton, KY (osquid.com); December 15, 2008 – Publisher of online media and interactive content, Omega Squid Studios (OSS), has formally announced the commencement of work on Urban Nights, a film written and directed by Patrick Farmer of Horrorhut Productions.

    “This is going to be a ground-breaking new project for both the company [Omega Squid Studios] and the members of the viewing audience.”

    – Shelby Jones, owner of Omega Squid Studios

    Urban Nights is an anthology-one film comprised of three smaller features-much like The Twilight Zone or Tales from the Crypt. The stories are set in an ‘urban’ environment.

    The production is utilizing local talent and resources in several areas. From the actors to the locations, the film is a collective community effort, and all assistance is appreciated.

    "It is going to be a great film; I’m proud of the script. The three stories are, to me, very original and entertaining; You get different feelings throughout, whether it’s a comedic or more of a serious tone, and they do deliver. I am thankful for everyone involved who have put so much into the project, and believing in it as much as I do; without them, this film could never become a reality."

    – Patrick Farmer, director of Urban Nights

    Producer Shelby Jones of Omega Squid Studios is currently looking for those who wish to contribute funds to help cover the cost of the production. It is estimated that another $500 will need to be raised so that necessary equipment and other supplies can be purchased. Sponsors will receive mention in the film’s credits. Please contact OSS for more information.

    Urban Nights has its own website, which is currently under construction. OSS plans to have trailers of the film and cast bios up as soon as possible. You can visit the site at www.urbannightsfilm.com. Please direct inquiries to contact@osquid.com.

  • Late Night Read-through

    Hello there, take a seat if you will; Here is the story of Shelby, the producer of Urban Nights. After hitting a family & friends holiday party this Friday night, I wrapped up the rest of the evening sitting in a loooong read-through of the Urban Nights script.

    Why weren’t we filming? Good question. Our location canceled their appointment to let us film tonight, so we will regroup and try again next week. Not wanting to waste valuable time, we opted to have the cast read through and adjust the scripts.

    After all the re-reads and edits, we decide to watch an Independent film that was made by one of the cast members of Urban Nights. The movie was Yule Die, directed by Seth Middleton. A special video review was spawned in the middle of the night, and will be out this week as part of the SquidFlicks Christmas festivities.

    We were finished at around 3 AM Saturday morning. I am still tired. 😀
