Thankfully we had a dedicated behind the scenes camera on the “set” of The Battery that shot over 600 videos. Sadly—to encourage people to pick it up and actually shoot—it was one of those cheapo Flip type cameras. In the end, at least it got the job done.
While we plan on eventually editing the best of this footage together with cast and crew interviews, we thought it would be cool to share some of the videos on this site now, while the movie is still being edited. The first of these videos is embedded below.
In this video, writer/director/actor Jeremy Gardner proves that the gun is just a prop while actor Adam Cronheim is gagging at the sight of the putrid makeup Hillary Hunt (mentioned below in the post about Lucky McKee’s The Woman) is applying to her assistant Nicole.
Have you seen the new trailer for Lucky McKee’s Sundance shocking The Woman?
We were lucky enough to have Hillary Hunt, The Woman’s assistant makeup artist, work on 6 featured zombies in The Battery!
Hello everyone! We would just like to thank you for the sudden interest in our movie. Though we shot this thing just this month, The Battery has been a labor of love that we have been trying to get off the ground for nearly three years.
We know how it feels to see or hear about a small film like ours and not know if, when, and how you will ever be able to see it. For this reason, we have reorganized our page here so that we can provide constant updates on post-production and then hopefully soon after that, details on how you can see the final product.
We will also use this blog to go further into the plot of the movie and share screenshots, clips, and then eventually the full trailer. Beyond that, we are really looking forward to sharing more about the making of the movie and sharing some of the 600 behind the scenes clips recorded during the shoot!
Thanks again for your interest and we promise that we’re going to make this movie as good as we can make it and keep you informed every step of the way. If you have any questions for us, feel free to ask them by clicking the link at the very top of the page.
This is the first look at the feature-length zombie movie “The Battery”, filmed in 15 days with a budget of only $6,000. As we just wrapped filming last week, this is simply a showcase of the film set to music to give people an early look. A traditional trailer with dialogue will be cut once the movie is nearing the end of post-production.
“The Battery” is a feature-length zombie movie filmed in 15 days with a budget of only $6,000. Written and directed by Jeremy Gardner, the film follows two former baseball players, Ben and Mickey, months after an unexplained outbreak. Gardner also stars in the film, alongside New York native Adam Cronheim. The film was entirely shot on the Canon 5d mkii by director of photography, Christian Stella. Filming wrapped in August of 2011. Now in post-production, we hope to have the movie finished for festivals and/or distribution by the end of 2011.
A full website is still in the works. For now, please send any press and/or distribution inquiries to ohannahfilms@gmail.com
