At least when it's Amazon, it's A-OK!
So, please by all means, support these buckets of blood, sweat, and tears, and make your holidays and new year as hallucinatory and mind-bending as possible.
And attain inner peace through IN A SPIRAL STATE!

Current mood:  excited
Category: Movies, TV, Celebrities
Hey everyone,
There are many of you that I haven’t spoken to in
ages, and there are a couple of you that I may have not spoken to ever before…
But either way, I wanted
to wish everyone a wonderful and blessed holiday season, and also let you all
know that I am now heading up Acquisitions and Production for the well-respected
sales agent and production company, Hollywood Wizard.
I am extremely excited to reveal that I am assembling an
amazing new slate of films that cross various genres, and the majority of these
new titles I’m picking up are fresh, stylish, with bigger names and bigger
budgets than before. I’m also hard at work on several exciting new projects
in-house for Hollywood Wizard.
As many of you may know or guess, I will continue to direct
and produce my feature films (which is what many people know me for), as I’ve
done in the past (ex. “The Devil’s Muse”, “In A Spiral
State” both released by Halo 8 Entertainment), but my primary focus for
Hollywood Wizard will be to acquire groundbreaking new genre titles for
Hollywood Wizard, and producing higher-tier films. Our focus, of course, will
be on completed projects with name talent, and high-concept or edgy scripts
with or without attachments.
I hope to bring much-needed new energy and style to the
spectrum of distribution, while bridging the gap between producers and
distributors, since I, too, am a filmmaker, with over 10 years of experience as
a Director and Producer.
So that all being said, I want to openly invite filmmakers
and festivals to send me their completed features for acquisition and sales representation,
and also open up the channels for both new productions (i.e. treatments and
scripts) and new partnerships with Domestic and International distributors.
Thanks again, and I wish you all the very best in 2010 and
beyond.
And send me those DVD screeners (feature-length movies only) and scripts!
You can send them to the address below, and if it's interesting, we'll discuss the options with you!
All the best,
Ramzi Abed

My previous film, THE DEVIL'S MUSE, got lots of reviews, and most of them were great... However, even though, IN A SPIRAL STATE, has gone incredibly viral, and has now been seen illegally by thousands and thousands of people, it hasn't been properly reviewed by many people, magazines, or websites yet! So, by all means, buy it or at least Netflix it... And review it! You can love it, loathe it, or feel indifferent... but PLEASE share your thoughts! Thanks again!! IN A SPIRAL STATE (Amazon)IN A SPIRAL STATE (Netflix)It's the last film that Gidget Gein (genius behind the image of Marilyn Manson) and the only film that stars both post-punk posterchild, Messy Stench, and the new wave of scream queens, Lizzy Strain, Bianca Barnett, Mae Moreno, and Elissa Dowling all in one movie together. It's also the only 2009 film that combines elements of documentary-style filmmaking, reality television, Kabbalah, quantum physics, parallel universes, music videos, and drug overdoses into its overall vision and unusual story technique. More of a mental and spiritual ride than a typical A to B structure, it'll leave you dazed and possibly delighted. NOW REVIEW IT, AND PASS IT AROUND!!! Love and gratitude, Ramzi Abed DIRECTOR

HERE'S THE SCOOP... SOMETHIN' SPECIAL 4 YOUR ECONOMIC BLUES... TURNS FROWNS UPSIDE DOWN...
And GIVES you a magical promotional tool and art piece!
*Ramzi Abed's summer special music video offer for bands/groups in the LA area.
Most
of the music videos I've directed and produced are anywhere from
$5,000-$30,000 budget-wise. The feature films I've directed generally
range in budget from $70,000 to $100,000...
However for the next 3 months (July - September ONLY)...
$1500
will give you a fully delivered, and uniquely crafted music video
written, directed, and produced by me (Ramzi Abed) and my production
team at Bloodshot Pictures.
I enjoy making stuff, so during this downtime it's an opportunity for me to work on stuff that I normally would never do.
HERE IS WHAT YOU GET:
The video will be:
1) Shot in one day in Los Angeles 2) Not a run-..of-the-mill band performance music video 3) A fully-realized piece that mixes narrative, visual expression, and band/artist performance 4) Delivered on a mastered tape, dvd, or media file for the band/artist (NOTE: Post-..Production can take anywhere from 1-4 months depending on the breadth of the project)
Anyhow, it's a deal, and we'll have a ton of fun doing it!
So, here's some background from me:
As
of late I have directed and produced a couple of hot new music videos
(I produced the video for "The Chosen Legacy" by Dimmu Borgir, a huge
stadium-..rocking Norwegian black metal band, and recently I
directed two music videos for hip electronic pop duo, Bitter:Sweet for
the song, "Drama", including a video with Serj Tankian (of System of A
Down) starring (and singing guest vocals). The Bitter:Sweet campaign is
my most prized and happy accomplishment to date, and received really
well by the artists, management (Kevin Gasser), and labels... Those 2
vids will be released by Quango and their European label within the
next month or so, I believe.
Also, I have a feature film called
"The Devil's Muse" which was released widely on dvd late last year, and
already growing into a real cult classic... and the legendary David J
(from Bauhaus, Love & Rockets) scored the film and wrote original
songs for it, and music by folks as varied as Abby Travis, Dub Gabriel, Red Martian,
and My Ruin appear on the soundtrack too. You can find out more at the
distributor's site, Halo 8 ( http:..//www.halo8.tv )or at
http:../../..www...google...com/..search?..hl=..en&..q=..%..22devil%..27s+..muse%..22&..btnG=..Google+Search
There's
a new 2 page interview with me (about "The Devil's Muse") currently on
newsstands in the new issue of Gothic Beauty. I have also, in the past,
appeared in V Magazine, Moviemaker Magazine, LA Weekly, Fangoria, and
many other varied publications.
*****My new feature film, "In A
Spiral State", comes out this September on dvd, vod, etc. There will be
a small theatrical run for the film in LA, Austin, and Philadelphia
also.
If you want a sample of my style, check out this 1 MINUTE
teaser for "IN A SPIRAL STATE", at Dread Central's site (they debuted
the teaser and first look).

I reside and operate out of West Hollywood, CA.

Anyhow, hopefully you even see this message.
And most of all, thanks for your time~!!!

Category: Life
Our little baby turtle, Mikey just passed away today after his third round of antibiotic shots. He was looking sooo much better too. He looked me right in the eye as he died. I have been crying all day, and listening to the music of Karin Dreijer Andersson to console me. Amanda and I will be burying him tonight.
I love you little Michalangelo.
And I love everything. This little life we all lead, no matter our species... Is so short and so unfathomably mysterious. Our politics and religions don't grasp the true mystical power and intangibility of this life. We should all be one.
