Well, tonight we have a bit to discuss, so let’s get into it…

Last week I sent off the PDF’s to print up the loot for the GORILLA MY DREAMS TEAM-UP #2, BIG TIM’S FUNNY BOOKS GOES TO THE MOVIES, and THE BASTARD BRIGADE RPG Kickstarters.

But I managed to mess a bunch of them up and they were unusable. Special Thanks to Kieran over at Halftone Productions and Matthew Schofield, creator of The Steamroller Man, for helping me get them into ship-shop shape. Now the PDFs are with the printers and they’ve told me they’re perfect now.

This means I’m just waiting on the printers to get all the loot printed and shipped to be and we’re at the next step of fulfillment.

As always, I’ll keep you posted every step of the way!

Listeners to our podcast Luke & Tim Make a Movie will be happy to hear that we’ve had some good news concerning our last couple films.

First of all, RENT FREE.

RENT FREE is the first film Luke and I made since our cinematographer Lilya moved back to Russia. We shot this bad boy on a mobile phone with just the two of us.

Synopsis: When a man confronts his lay about housemate for his share of the rent, he realises that his problems aren’t exactly what they seem.

Well, RENT FREE has been accepted into the Yeh! Nah! Horror Film Festival AND the Canberra Short Film Festival!

The Yeh! Nah! Horror Film Festival runs from the 24 through 31 October, and RENT FREE will be screening on the 28th. I believe you can get tickets just for the one night, but I recommend checking out the entire festival as there’s going to be a lot of Halloween goodness to see. Luke and I are going to try to get to the entire festival this year.

Also, at the beginning of the year, I was lucky enough to shoot one last film will Lilya before she left, EIGHT MINUTES.

Synopsis: Award-winning actor, filmmaker, and comic book creator Big Tim Stiles talks about his struggles with depression and suicide and being a creative throughout.

This is a very personal story for me, obviously. It hasn’t been getting much love in the festival circuit, so I’m glad it’ll finally get an official screening.

I’ll let you all know more about where Canberra Short Film Festival will be screening RENT FREE and EIGHT MINITES.

In the meantime, get your tickets for the The Yeh! Nah! Horror Film Festival and don’t forget to enter my MARVEL ZOMBIES HALLOWEEN Giveaway.

Anyway, that’s it for today, folks.

Talk again soon.

I love ya, and I mean it.

Big Tim!

Just a real quick on today, as I’m in the middle of doing some job applications and have already procrastinated too long.

Let’s get into it…

Our little Lights, Canberra, Action film didn’t get in.

Lights, Canberra, Action is an annual film festival where filmmakers have 10 days to film a short film, featuring 10 items from around Canberra. This year’s theme? Looking back, looking forward.

Unfortunately, our little film didn't make the cut. I still want to thank every single person who helped make it, though. This was a very important and personal project for me. I will try to work out our own little screening someplace in the near future for all of us to watch it. Thanks again so so so much everyone who helped.

Here’s some screenshots from out little film, EIGHT MINUTES.

This week, the filmmakers of Canberra are working hard on their Lights, Canberra, Action films.

Lights, Canberra, Action is an annual film festival where filmmakers have 10 days to film a short film, featuring 10 items from around Canberra. This year’s theme? Looking back, looking forward.

I don’t normally take part because my filmmaking partner in crime Luke, is one of the judges. Well, this year I decided to throw my hat in the ring without my boy, Luke.

I reached out the most talented cinematographers I know Lil Kicha (who shot the four films Luke and I made over the few years), pitched an idea, shot her a script, and the rest (as they say) is history.

After work hours this week, we’ve been going out to the locations that must be in the film, and with amazing support from the Canberra Cosplayer and Drag communities, we’ve had a GREAT few days of shooting..

If you’re a long-time reader, you’ll know I juggle my creative side with depression and all that nasty stuff. And this is what our film is about.

Lil appeared on my radar when I saw a documentary she shot a few years ago, and I knew I wanted THAT ETE to shoot films with.

I’ll be honest, I feel like this project is a but self-indulgent, as I talk about my mental health and creative process, but I’m hoping Lil can transform it into something special.

Time will tell, and I’ll keep you posted.

In the meantime, it’s just been a really fun distraction from life.

It's been a while since we dropped an episode of the podcast, and that very much rests on my (Big Tim's) shoulders. I've spent about a year up to my elbows in the local theatre scene with Streetcar Named Desire and Little Shop of Horrors.

But now that those have both wrapped, Luke and I are keen to get back into it, ready to pick up where we left off.

Thing is, in the time I've been treading the boards on stage, we still have been pretty productive behind the scenes. Thanks to Luke refusing to rest, we still managed to shoot two short film this year; one (RISING STARS) is due to screen in this month's Canberra Short Film Festival, and the other (RENT FREE) screened in last week's Tropefest!

Not only that, but we had quite the presence at the first Yeh Nah Horror Film Festival.

PERFORMANCE REVIEW was nominated for four prizes, we did a Q&A at the screening with some other AMAZING filmmakers, and THEATRE OF THE DEAD, a feature film I acted in over ten years ago has FINALLY got a digital release!

Even though we never took any of those prizes, God it was a great week.

So, that’s about it for now. I will let you all know as soon as we have another episode or some other news.

You can listen to the last episode we did of LUKE & TIM MAKE A MOVIE on Spotify or any good podcast catcher, to get back up to date of where we were!

Looking forward to getting back into the next leg of our filmmaking journey!

Happy! Happy! Joy! Joy! Over the weekend, we unlocked TWO stretch goals! And for that, I thank you! Now, every single backer of the PERFORMANCE REVIEW: An Office Survival RPG will get some digital maps to play the game on!

I'm trying to make life as simple as possible for gamers by designing these maps to be printed at home. And they'll be provided with grids and without.

This first map, being 11 inch x 16 inch can easily be printed on a single A5 sheet of paper (or two A4 sheets).

Let's take a closer look at the ground floor of Cordyc-Tech HQ:

But like I said, we’ve also unlocked a SECOND stretch goal!

And this time we're looking at the first floor of Cordyc-Tech HQ:

So, this map is 11 x 16 inches, though the playable area is 8 x 11 inches. This enables you to either print it on an A3 sheet of paper, OR you can just print the actual playable area on a sheet of A4.

And I know that these maps are fairly small, but I think that really works for the cat and mouse style game this is.

So, that's our unlocked stretch goals so far.

But we have more to come!

When we break through the $1,500 (only $200 away) every backer will score a THIRD map, making the adventure BIGGER and SCARIER!

That's it for now. Will chat again soon!

Big Tim.

P.S. If you've backed a Kickstarter by me before, you'll know that I just LOVE to give away stuff!

For this campaign, I'll be giving away a copy of Belko Experiment on DVD this coming Friday night and the Friday after!

This is the movie that inspired the PERFORMANCE REVIEW short film we shot, and in turn, the RPG game you are supporting right now!

I'll put all the backer names/handles into a hat and draw a winning both Fridays, posting the video in an update on this Kickstarter page!

May the odds be forever in your favour!

Talk again soon!

PERFORMANCE REVIEW: An Office Survival RPG is now live on Kickstarter - A 5E modern horror adventure set in corporate offices! Play as ordinary office workers who find themselves fighting for their lives!

Last year, my buddy Luke and I started a podcast LUKE & TIM MAKE A MOVIE, with the goal of working our way toward shooting a short film. We finally made the film PERFORMANCE REVIEW and it's been pretty well received around the world so far...

But even after releasing it into the world, and seeing the awards it’s getting, I just couldn't get the themes of the initial idea out of my head. That’s where this RPG comes from.

The PERFORMANCE REVIEW RPG takes the themes of our black comedy and cranks them up to ELEVEN! 

Every year I love to do an RPG for Kickstarter’s Zine Quest, and this will be the fifth time I’ve taken part. Zine Quest is responsible for the creation of my gaming imprint Cirque du Nocturne, which has been a LOT of fun (PDFs of my previous 5E zines will also be available through this campaign)!

Here are the pledge levels we’re offering so far. Looking for something we don’t have on offer? Let me know, and I’ll see what I can do!

This Kickstarter will run for three weeks. The game is finished. I’m just hoping to raise more money for more art, so more money means more art and stretch goals!

Even though I’ve been doing this for a few years, I still enjoy coming up with new stories and monsters for RPGs. It’s a lot of fun and I hope that the joy I’ve had making this dark and gloomy mini-campaign comes across to you, the players.

Finally, if you back for a copy of the printed zine TODAY there’s a little bonus I’ll be throwing in to your loot collection

If you dig dark comedy horror movies set in a workplace, then I reckon you’ll really like this RPG!

Thanks again for reading guys. I’d love to see you over on the PERFORMANCE REVIEW: An Office Survival RPG - Zine Quest Kickstarter page to join the violent fun!

I know I’ve been talking about this on Instagram a little, but wanted to make sure that any of you who are RPG players, are in the know.

This year’s Zine Quest kicks off tomorrow. So, as I do every February, I’m launching a 5E RPG Zine of my own. The PERFORMANCE REVIEW RPG is loosely inspired by the film we shot last year; it’s a horror/survival adventure in a modern office!

I really want to have you folks back this bad boy on Day #1, and as a little incentive, I’m going to reward EVERY DAY #1 BACKER who backs on a level to get the physical, printed Zine…

There are a number of pledge levels for every budget, from the $5 PDF all the way up to the high rolling $300, where you can spend an evening playing the game WITH US (only two available)!

This is what you can expect in PERFORMANCE REVIEW: An Office Survival RPG:

  • A modern office horror/survival setting

  • Limited number of blood-splattered Dice Sets

  • Limited-edition Photo Cover

  • Hours of replayability (I think I just made that word up)

  • AND MORE!

Take an advanced sneak peek at what you can score on the PERFORMANCE REVIEW RPG Kickstarter page!

We have a couple updates for all you PERFORMANCE REVIEW Kickstarter backers!

The first thing is PERFORMAMNCE REVIEW premiered as part of Asylumfest's inaugural Mayday Hills Short Horror Film Competition (the ‘Mayday Awards’).

If you've listened to our podcast Luke and Tim Make a Movie (Episode #12 is now LIVE! Listen on Spotify!) you'll know that I've been pretty hesitant with categorising PERFORMANCE REVIEW a genre. I've been hesitant to submit it to horror festivals, as the film doesn't neatly fit inside that box.

But, the judging panel including Film Director/Producer Tim Miller (best known for directing Deadpool and co-creating the Original Netflix anthology series Love, Death + Robots), Author, Screenwriter, and Director Christopher Lee Sun (his films include a couple of my Aussie favourites Charlie's Farm and Boar), and Author, Artist, and Filmmaker ​Aaron Dries (as well as being an accomplished horror icon is also one of the sweetest guys I've ever met), thought otherwise, awarding us with THIRD PRIZE!

So that was SUPER EXCITING! It was a really great weekend.

Now, on to our screening at the CANBERRA SHORT FILM FESTIVAL!

As previously mentioned, our goal was to get PERFORMANCE REVIEW into CSFF23 and we did. And now we have a screening date and time!

TUESDAY NOV 14, 7PM: PERFORMANCE REVIEW Screening at Canberra Short Film Festival!

We're all super excited that this is the fruition of our plans!

Now, for the twelve of you who have pledged for a ticket to a Screening and Q&A, the screening at CSFF23 is NOT IT! 

Luke is in negotiations to have that screening in December. As I've previously said, we want to get CSFF23 done first, and then we'll finish this project with fulfilment of rewards, including the backer screening! And there’ll be tickets available for those of you who missed the Kickstarter, but might still want to come watch PERFORMANCE REVIEW!

I'll definitely keep you posted as we get more information.

Thanks again guys for helping us make this little dream a reality!

We really do appreciate it!

Big Tim and the PERFORMANCE REVIEW crew!

Episode #12 of Luke and Tim Make a Movie is now LIVE! Listen on Spotify!
