As we go through life, our passions may be rechanneled and we discover new talents and put most our creative energies and time into the new ones. It’s part of personal growth. Jazz Shaw started out doing creating this blog but basically stopped blogging and now occasionally writes on this blog.
One reason: his new passion is filmmaking. And his latest short is “The Making of A Very Zombie Christmas” which is described this way:
This film was our critically acclaimed entry in the 2006 Shmede and Woolgie Comedycon, beating out a tough field of other contestants… oh, ok. We were the only entry. Happy now?
This film is a mockumentary in the style of Spinal Tap, depicting the behind the scenes action in the making of what was possibly the absolute worst Christmas movie ever made. We had a great time making it, and I hope you get a few laughs out of it.
