New to blogger and A Dog's Breakfast is a horror now? WHAT?

So after years of myspace blogging I've decided to check out blogger. Why not, eh?

I thought I'd grace this premiere blog with one of the things I am most noted for and do best: video editing/manipulating. My last youtube account was deleted even though I had permission to host the videos (stupid youtube). I have since aquired a new account and to start off in a bad way, I've added a fan made trailer for A Dog's Breakfast by making it out to be a horror movie. It's a new way to sell it to those reluctant other halves who crave nothing but horror and gore ;). Trust me, it works! And they don't hate you after because they had enough fun watching this fantastic film. (Buy it from amazon and visit adogsbreakfastmovie.com)



So for all new people, welcome. My name is Maddy but I mostly go by either the name McKay or Bauer. McKay for reasons only mildly related to Stargate Atlantis but I do have similar traits (hypoglycaemia, citrus allergy, Canadian and classed as a genius - although I'm less arrogant and I study many martial arts so I'm a bit fitter and able to handle myself :P) and Bauer for ice hockey sponsorship reasons and nothing do to with the show, 24.

I'm a bit of a computer geek and a science nerd. However, I'm also a bit of a cooler geek in that I play in a sort of rock band - I love my guitar - and I'm a writer who tends to write horror, action and comedy scripts as opposed to much sci-fi. That being said, I do happen to have a pilot deal for a sci fi series that should begin filming early this year lol.

I'm a big fan of independent film and theatre. I love Troma and any other film company that sticks it to the man and creates true independent flicks, not the Hollywood 'anything under $10 million counts as independent' flicks. There are hundreds of struggling writers and directors who could kick the ass of many of their Hollywood counterparts, but are never given the chance.

One of my foster homes as a child was in a kung fu school and I learnt to perform on stage. Not just stunts but acting and singing. I got my first taste of theatre at age 7 and my love continues to this day. At present I have only managed to get work as an assistant director for one show and writer/director for another (and reluctant actor but we won't go into that :P). I've done a little film work but it's hard to tell what I prefer. Film work has its security in that messing up a line or mark doesn't matter so much as the scene can be rerun. However, there's an edge to the theatre in that every action, line and scene has to be near perfect. That can be scary or exciting, depending on how you view it but to me it's a whole different experience and requires and entirely different performance and commitment. Both are hard in their own ways and both are great. I couldn't make a decision without further experience...hint, hint ;).

So I've rambled on enough! Hope this proves to be a worthwhile venture!

McKay out!
