Lt. Tuvok, John Redcorn, and The Soup Nazi walk into...

[Pony Horton]

Pony Horton here. Some of you may know of me from my Visual Effects work on STAR TREK NEW VOYAGES, as well as my TREK fan films.

I am now producing and Directing an original short film titled STORM DRAIN.

It Stars TIM RUSS (Lt. Tuvok from STAR TREK VOYAGER)

LARRY THOMAS (The Soup Nazi from SEINFELD)

JONATHAN JOSS (John Redcorn from KING OF THE HILL).

Also featuring James Black (Anger Management) RIVKAH RAVEN WOOD, BRIAN GROSS (Star Trek New Voyages).

This film will be about 30 minutes long, and is a Horror/Comedy.
The theme is "What the HELL is under your street?"
You will be SUCKED IN to the dark, echoing concrete abyss to join the helpless victims of
whatever-the-hell-it-is that lurks under the gutters and sewers of quiet suburbia.


This is a nice chance for me as a film maker, so I would ask all of you who have enjoyed the great visual effects I have created for our shared love of STAR TREK, please join me in making this film a reality!

This is NOT a Fan Film. STORM DRAIN is my own original production. It will be released through numerous methods, including festivals, direct-to-you online, and even in association with Huston Huddleston's Hollywood Horror Museum!

It will sell for download at $2.50.

Crowdfunding and Direct Pre-Sales will begin SOON.

As a little script-related aside, for a while I had been having some confusion about Tim Russ.

He kept suggesting that we need to see tentacles to represent the Creature in the sewers. At first I said nothing, thinking this was his way of participating, by tossing out ideas that might, or might NOT, be useful.

Eventually, though, he kept adding tentacles to every mention of the critter, and suggested the poster have a tentacle rather than the hand torn-off and hanging on the metal rung.

So I finally told him there were NO tentacles in this movie, and yet... he persisted.

I'm kinda slow on the uptake sometimes, and this was one of those times. I swear, someone HAS to invent a Sarcasm font, or at least a punctuation for "Wink-wink-nudge-nudge."

It finally occurred to me... Tim Russ was SCREWING with me!
Oh my God... In a very subtle, dry, droll, Vulcan way, I'm being punked by LT. TUVOK!!!!!!!

Ohhhhhh, he finally says!!!!!!!! (Hear the penny drop?)

So, once I realized this, I took a new, jaundiced-eyed look at the shopping bag of tree-lemons he had sent me home with (like so many Southern Californians, Tim has a lemon tree in the backyard and it produces LIKE CRAZY. Such people will NOT let you leave without a harvest in a bag. Which you have to pick yourself.) with the idea on making not only a lemon pound cake, but a few projectile weapons as well!

So, last time I spoke with Tim, I mentioned that, due to the dangers posed by those tentacles, I am writing-in a submarine into the movie. I'm calling it the Nautilus. It'll be armed with two steampunk lemon cannons (think potato guns California-style).

I actually got the Vulcan to laugh!

Next call, I'll sadly have to inform him that, due to budget and safety reasons, I've had to cut back and rewrite the script. We'll be getting rid of the submarine and replacing it with an Alweg monorail that will simply SLICE OFF the critter's tentacles while gliding silently past on a narrow beamway under clean, quiet electric power!
Ah, the shit one comes up with producing a movie!

I'm tempted to go and make some pop corn in anticipation of seeing this film. No doubt this will be a trip down memory lane spliced together with a roller coaster ride of chills, humor, screams, and perhaps a thing or two that will make me go hmmmmm ...... I've appreciated your unique talent for years, and am really excited about this film!!

I've seen some of Pony's work for New Voyages, plus a few of his other short subjects. No doubt this flic will be excellent!
