Location: North Hollywood, California

What I'm doing with my life? Well... This past 6 months I: Staged a automobile accident with turned over cars, fire trucks, ambulance, and police cars for a political commercial. I played a Pirate for the History Channel's Andrew Jackson during the Battle for New Orleans...Renato Beluche, he was called. As trivia I was the Art Director on that doc film. I got surprised (un-scripted) attacked by 3 celebrities on a reality tv show...and ended up in a paintball gun battle with Producers screaming "Don't shoot! Don't shoot!" One of the celebs was Joanie Cunningham from Happy Days. Adapted "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" into a screenplay. Work on a Skin-a-max cable series...fake f*ucking. Fake boobs and so, so boring. "It's not porn!"-Producer Designed and dressed a "magical" forest in Big Sur for a teaser trailer of "World of Warcraft." Adapted "The Land of Oz" into a screenplay. Just finished a black and white murder mystery movie that takes place in a gothic mansion (we made) during the 1930's. Next? I don't know...and loving it. ...this is my life...now it is time for me to tell my stories.

Today I sent out a mass e-mail. Here is the letter:


Hello Everyone,

It is time to begin filming my feature film debut with "Serial Killer Scavenger Hunt".

A dark comedic horror film about rival serial killers "cleaning out" Los Angeles.

In it's essence SKSH is about the loss of the American Dream.

A trailer to the short version of "SKSH" is on my website www.DementedEnt.com...of which we get 200 downloads a month!

This short film has a life of it's own. Banned from San Diego Comic Con, bootlegged across UCLA, it traveled the world on it's own and has been nominated for best experimental short in 2 film festivals.

From a film that started out as a little itch I need to scratch it has grown into a full blown monkey on my back.

The great news!? I already have Investors that are ready and willing to FULLY FUND THIS FILM...

...so why am I contacting all of you?

Start up costs...the Investors are ready to come on board when Demented Entertainment becomes a LLC....

...how much to start up? $3000.00

Not alot of money...so why am I asking? Well...I keep getting pulled away into OTHER PEOPLE'S PROJECTS that allow me enough money to survive....but not thrive.

It is time to break that cycle...

...so if any of you would like to SEE WHAT I CAN CREATE...DONATE!

Humbly,

Raul Contreras

Wearer of many, many hats

THE QUESTION ASKED ME WAS:

What is the rush? Why does Serial Killer Scavenger Hunt has to be shot or completed before April?


That is when Quentin Tarantino and Robert Rodriguezs' new film "Grindhouse" comes out. EVERYONE is going to be looking for similar films and SKSH is it. We can be at the right place at the right time.


If all goes well...we will ride this wave straight into "Die Hippie, Die!"


I have a plan. A vision....Just running out of time.

Just completed a photo shoot with S.A.G Indie's 10th Anniversary. I did the art direction for the shoot. We re-created scenes from Kill Bill, Momento, Clerks, and Nepolian Dynamite with 1o year old kids. It was a fantastic day smooth as silk. I can't wait to see the campaign next year at Sundance.
