5xABSCHIED - 5GOODBYES are 5 digital no-budget short films. Each film is completly different, but shares a similar theme: saying goodbye. Together they form a circle of life, starting with a 9-year-old girl and ending with two 70-year-old astronauts. Four films are already finished, the fifth is in preproduction.
We wanted to follow the DIY-attitude that would prove that you could do small independent movies without a film school and without a budget. The films are in German with English Subtitles.

100 downloads
In a world where Youtube videos get grazillion clicks, 100 downloads is not that much.
For me, it is.
For me, it is.

Little White Lies mentions ALIEN PLANET
You can see the article named BRING BACK THE BITCH by James Wright here.
"The script itself is decent enough, and with a little reworking an a few touches here and there it could be a very interesting option to see come to life and definitely better than the dross we’ve endured recently."

Please vote for my project PIXELSCHATTEN!
On http://bodybits.zdf.de I present my filmtreatment PIXELSCHATTEN (Pixelshadows) at Das Kleine Fernsehspiel.
It's a coming of age tale about a group of midtwenties in a small town whose life is manipulated by their friend Pixel and his Online appearence in which he talks about everyone and their secrets. When his friends decide to stop him and delete all his accounts, Pixel suddenly disappears. Not sure what happened to their friend, the group starts a fake blog called Pixelschatten (Pixelshadows) with updates from Pixel's every-day-life and through that, they get into weird and funny situations. Slowly they realize that they miss the friend they are trying to imitate online and maybe also the friend they once knew. When Pixel mysteriously reappears, they have only a few days to find out what their friendship means to them....
You just have to click on the image at the top (Online-Ausschreibung/Interaktiv) and then a popup will appear. In the blue project section, you can search for PIXELSCHATTEN manually or through the search (Suche) function at the bottom of the page. In order to vote, you need to register, but it is pretty quick and easy. You just have to choose a nick and an email addy and you will get an email to confirm the account.
Please vote for the film! There are 120 uploaded projects. 20 get into the next round through the editorial, 5 through user-voting. The price for the 5 winners in the last round will be a FULLY FINANCEND AND DEVELOPED half-length feature! The competition is not the usual commercial BS, and getting an independent project like this fully financed is each filmaker's dream. I really appreciate your help! Please tell everyone.

Avatar Footage
Saw the Avatar footage today. All I can say is that it seems to be the film that would make my vision of an final 3D-Alien-film not only possible, but totally logical.
Can't wait to see it.

Finally
Today it was confirmed that Ridley Scott will direct an Alien Prequel scripted by Jon Spaihts. I glad that Mr. Scott is returning to the franchise that he started. To me personally, this meant that I should finally stop my work on ALIEN PLANET because these guys are hopefully gonna rock the franchise again.
I decided to make the screenplay available on the blog. Sure it's not perfect, I'm still learning, my basic English translation is flawed, especially in the dialogues, and the characters could be tighter and more fleshed out in the first act, but in the end it has a heart. And that is what most films lack. Feel free to read this as pure entertainment with a glass of wine, with Sigur Ros, Efterklang or Clint Mansell music in the background. A screenplay that you can imagine as a what-if, as a 3D film, and nothing more, something that takes you into another mood - to another planet. This is meant for daydreamers. Feel free to copy, paste and forward it!
For those that fear any legal response, the screenplay is registered at the WGA West under the mysterious ID 1161616. I don't know what the hell that means ;-)
I for my part would like to thank all those people that invested time into making Alien Planet a great experience. I wish Scott Free and Fox good luck. Let's colaborate, create and be productive.
