Behind the Scenes of “Homie Horror: The Beginning”

Dr. JimBob: "Hi folks! Glad you found your way to our site. Let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. JimBob, and I am a faculty member at Georgia Tech. Several months ago, I stumbled upon a very funny author on the internet named Annie Choi (www.annietown.com). At the time, Annie would send out little plastic toy figures known as “Homies” to folks around the world who read her work. The recipients would first name their homies and then take pictures of them in their new environments. These pictures were sent back to Annie, and she would make up hilarious stories about them and post her stories on the internet along with the pictures. Well, I got my homie and named him “Elwyn” after a farmer I know in South Georgia. At first, I couldn’t decide what kind of pictures to take with Elwyn. I like to hunt, and I am always bringing my hunting accessories into the office to show my students. So, I thought about taking Elwyn into the woods and composing deer hunting scenes. I also LOVE horror movies, and I am really into the “Zombies” game on Facebook right now; so much so, that some students started bringing me little plastic zombies and putting them in my office when I wasn’t around. Eventually, I figured out that I wanted to do something a little different with Elwyn… I wanted to make a horror movie starring Elwyn which incorporated all of these interests. A few weeks ago, I walked into my lab with a bag of sugar doughnuts and asked my students to help me make horror “movie” history in PowerPoint. My students are always up for a challenge. They are the coolest students you could ever meet, bar none! As always, they came through for me on this project. (Thanks a bunch ya’ll!) We made “Homie Horror: The Beginning” with stuff I had accumulated in my office over the years. It turned out to be a lot of work, but it was loads of fun to say the least. So with that bit of background, it is with great pride and pleasure that my crew and I display our presentation to you. I hope you like it. Enjoy!"

Elwyn: “The director knew how to bring out my natural acting talent. I would probably work with him again, I guess, especially if there were more love scenes. These schoolgirls know I’m crunk, and I’m tight with them.”

Hi Shin: "They say white people are crazy...but really! How many takes and actors do we really need for this LOW budget film..wait, NO budget film! Doesn't Dr. JimBob know that grad students live on ramen noodles? and since when do plastic figures get special treatment over real people? The REAL scoop: Elwyn - he's such a drama queen, and the zombies couldn't keep their hands off the girls, but no worries because I think Casey and Alisha are not interested. I don't think I will work with the director again. He called me incessantly about the pictures, the actors, the music...but then he is an old, white man losing his mind... I mean, he thinks Elwyn is real and he's become a zombie - but don't tell him that. All in all...it was fun and I better get my Ph.D. no matter what, or else I'm releasing the "casting" video he made with Jarrod. Watch for the sequel!”

Vanessa: Was off to her next movie location, and thus, was unavailable for a “Behind the Scenes” interview. This reporter will try to catch up with her at the new location.

Jarrod: "That old cliché is true: Sometimes to get a break in this industry, as
I did when I was cast for this movie, you have to sleep with one of the
producers. But I have no regrets…This is the role that will make me a
household name."

Alisha: "Elwyn Baby, if you were words on a page, you'd be what they call FINE PRINT!"

Casey: "Elwyn is such a nice guy. Really. And he kept things strictly professional.
He was so willing to give me a private tour of his famous dressing room. I
declined, however, being tired from the shoot.  But I heard Alisha got to
see it. I'm sure they were very professional. It's not like his reputation
precedes him or anything."
