jokes for free clowns that are condensed into a drug that keeps the
clowns down. They are motivated to write by terror and pain inflicted
from monkey managers.
There is an industry of pain to keep monkeys from laughing (drugs and
self mutilation products)
A clown denies his clowniness by chopping off his nose. Then it is off
to the laugh bank.
Clowns live on opposite ends of society, they run all the large
businesses and hold the highest government offices or they are begging
street performers, everything in the middle is a monkey.
A clown that can stay off chemicals becomes very powerful.
Monkeys are not allowed to make their baby monkeys laugh for fear that
they will become clowns. There is a whole industry of passive neglect
baby items.
A monkey who does not want to keep their child will make them laugh in
order to turn them into a clown.
Then they are sent off to "the circus"; giant big top communities where
clowns live.
Teenage monkeys will piss off their parents by dressing like clowns.
Clowns will target enemy monkeys and isolate them, and make them laugh
until they become clowns. Usually in dark basements.
Bonus – Monkeys go to these beatnik bars to read really depressing
poetry to one another. They will invite a clown to perform knowing that
they will not laugh and if a clown does not get a single laugh on a
staged performance they must kill them selves immediately after the
show.
Bonus Bonus – clowns take these killer gigs because they get so
desperate for attention that they loose all sense. A clown needs an
audience and needs laughter or they start getting violent.

Ten More Things People Should Know About CVM
- The rejected clowns go into a cube (laugh bank) to write uninspired jokes for free clowns that are condensed into a drug that keeps the clowns down. They are motivated to write by terror and pain inflicted from monkey managers.

various dialog days, only a maximum of four for the greenscreen days.
The amount will depend naturally on what scene we are doing.Just let me
know which days you'd be available (totally foreseeable!) and I can
work up a personal schedule for you to come perform. Each actor will
play various parts. Crew - For greenscreen days, a small tight nit
group consisting of a Cameraman, assistant camera, make up, and two
PAs. For dialog days, crew can just take a day to relax and go fishing.
DATES! The general rule is third Sundays for dialog, forth Sundays for
greenscreen. Off in December, no need to ruin families over some Clowns
and Monkeys. As a base we will run from noon until 6pm with Sunday
Pasta for Dialog days, and pizza for greenscreen days. D=dialog

guru will be compositing the shots and I will be editing during the
month. The film will be shown in disconnected clips on the internet as
they are completed. We polish for two months and premier on 10/30/10 at
midnight! So the format we are shooting in is very understanding if you
can only show up once or for every date. All the actors will be in
suits, their faces wearing masks (think Greek), I understand there will
be some rotation. Walk with the project for as long as you can, and
when you have to put it down, do so and I will admire you for what you
have contributed. John
Look! Shoot Dates!

of positivity. The more people can picture what we are doing, the more
they will get swept up in CVM hysteria!
2. Jerry White, who is just coming off Macbeth, is introducing me to
some really top drawer talent to do voices and don the suit come shoot
time. The acting must be strong because we are going for very natural
performances, very conversational and not "actorly". Like the
conversations in "The Shining" or "The Straight Story" or a Charlie
Rose episode. Conversations that take their time and breathe. They need
to anchor the film, so we don't go flying off into Schumacher Batman
territory. I just Facebooked two of them, thanks Jerry!
3. The transitions between scenes will be done with sound becoming more
and less dense. Think Exorcist, but we go silent to silent, loud to
loud, the density slowly building and ebbing between scenes, the
transitions happening on the peaks and valleys. Hypnotic.
4. I am making a flash animated commercial for the movie that will go
out on the updates and get people all crazy. It's a class project that
I am retrofitting for CVM's devious intentions. I did the storyboards
today!
5. Made a big connection in my head today on the connection between
clowns and monkeys. Talked to the writer, he's down with it and we are
on the same page.
6. Meeting writer again on Sunday, cancelled last Sunday due to giant
inflatable jumpy things and my kids excited eyes, and who am I to deny
children one of the basic pleasures of life. Inflatable Jumpy Things.
Josh was all about it and we are going with the flow. But he just wrote
me some scene ideas and they are mofo on the money.
7. I have a lead on some seamstresses courtesy of Connie Alman who
performed countless miracles on Zombeak as our casting director and her
husband Illya made a lot of props and got a horrible rash for us back
in hardcore'04.
8. Getting a definite shooting schedule down, confirmed with green
screen Matt the Man about switching to Sundays and so it will be
Sundays. Actual written dates coming. A lot more people available on
Sundays.
9. I have written a new donation schedule to post at fundable.com to
bring in the budget! It will be there by Friday.
10. Confirmed with Nancy Miller that we should indeed confer once
Halloween is up. She is big into Netherworld Haunted House. She was
another saving grace on Zombeak. She does it all and does it all with
awesome infused.
Ten More Awesomes for CLOWN VERSUS MONKEY

Concept Art is Happening
Sunday, October 04, 2009
I present the first background for CVM!
This will be the main set for the story line where monkey parents buy a
torture shed after their monkey kid is kidnapped by clowns. Clowns do
this to monkeys a lot and it is a Monkey's duty to torture clowns for
info. Clowns share a hive mind. The clown gets loose and infects the
monkeys with clown venom, and when the kid is returned home he comes
back to twisted tormented clown/monkey hybrids.
So far, so awesome.

Check out our new kitchen, complements of Tracy
1. Art work is being produced for the CVM book, the film's backgrounds,
and for sale at the zazzle site (to be posted soon) 2. Our first mass
update is going out tomorrow morning, and it will be an intro to the
horror/clown/monkey blogs on what this project is.3. I am meeting the
writer Josh Ford today, who seems like a chill dude with a nose for
weird. 4. Spoke with jaX yesterday about clowns, and we decided that
clowns are deseased and their make up is their white anemic skin and
red birthmarks, making them clown-like. I was thinking Gorbachev. The
multiple mouths on the insane clowns will be done ala Clutch Cargo. 5.
Our costume design consultant Christina Rumery kicked all forms of butt
and is ready to get all supplies for the clown costume, russled up an
entire supply list in less then twenty four hours and gave invaluable
guidance in it's construction. 6. Pushing the shoot date up a month has
got everyone breathing easier.7. I am almost done with school, so the
cvm website will be getting a rad face lift soon.8. I will be putting
out a call for seamstresses and After Effect gurus this week. 9. We
will be work shopping the script at Blank Page Screenwriters group. -
http://ping.fm/vlhCW 10. Hot pink monkey, where for
art though? The second Halloween is out, I am hitting the supply shops
all hardcore g-style. Good idea for a movie, a heist film set at a
Halloween store, on Halloween night, but the owners are Satanists, and
the thieves are up against all the decorations and costumes that come
to life! Boo!

10 things

“Flesh”. It was hysterical and disgusting, and I can tell this dude
watches the same movies I do. Romero High School. So we’re going to
bang together Clowns and Monkeys and see what crazy stuff happens.
2. Found a great actor, Jerry White who knows a ton of others that he’s
going to tell the movie about, and he has experience in ‘30s radio
drama reenactments, and that is perfect since all the dialogue is going
to be prerecorded around a nice friendly kitchen table with wine and
nuts and creepy ambiance.
3. Told costume designer Chris Rumery all about the chroma green screen
clown suit we need to make. We’ll see if she can create it for the
budget we have. It will be like her Project Runway, but designing for
lunatics.
4. Reconnected with Randy Stewart and he wants to light the film, and I
want him to do it, so we may have to shuffle the schedule to get him in
the room. He’s a walking film tech encyclopedia and a rolling studio.
His tech van is legendary and saved Zombeak from being a flick lit with
one aluminum clip light hooked to a step ladder to actual gels and
c-stands and all other sorts of toys and gizmos that took it to the
next level.
5. Met the director of Lynch Mob and he seemed like a cool dude, very
Kevin Spacy like.
6. Found great cheep latex masks that will be perfect for the clown
heads, I will just need to repaint them all with creepy designs all
over them.
7. Received a great write up from a marketing guru on an investment
package I am going to start sending around to various companies who
would like to advertise through CVM.
8. I can now use the Blank Page Screenwriters Group to run pages of the
script before we shoot. Thanks Brent Brooks.
9. I realized I can use this web design thing as a bartering chip.
10. Talked to Yarkoni all about background colors for clowns and
monkeys.
11. On a personal note, my wife secured some awesome office space for
her to begin her hypnotherapy practice. She’s really on fire about this
and it’s crazy effective. Anything you are trying to over come,
achieve, conquer, she can help. www.hypnosteph.com
