Great update on Frankenstein’s Monster by Maeve Alpin and Age of Steam!

On July 17, 2013 I posted an interview with Judith B Shields about her l

light Steampunk Film, Frankenstein’s Monster. That link is below.

I am thrilled to announce the film has now been released. It’s available on

Amazon, DVD, IndieFlix , and IMDb. To celebrate this marvelous event,

here is an update from Judith Shields.

“After the film was made, it went on the independent film circuit. 30+

science fiction, steampunk, and film festivals later and we’re finally done.

We were honored to win Shockerfest’s Audience pick for science-fiction feature

. I’ve learned a lot since making this film.

Peter Kovic recut the film. It’s 28 minutes shorter than the “art-house”

version we screened at the majority of the festivals (except

Comicpalooza and ApolloCon 2014).

The recut is seamless and keeps true to the original script.

I’m grateful to those who have followed the film. It’s been…

Hi everyone! Judith B. Shields here. I just wanted to share some moments from the shoot.

Here we have a few moments from when Victor Frankenstein returns home and also a shot of young William Frankenstein playing in a field.

We still have 14 scenes left to shoot in March. However, we’ve started the post-production process for the other scenes. Matt G. is editing video first then the audio team will tackle the project. Even though is seems a little quiet here on the blog–it isn’t quiet in the production. The lead team has been meeting about two nights a week reviewing the dailies. We’re very excited about what we’re building. I cannot wait to share with all of you Frankenstein’s Monster. Once we hit the independent film circuit, I’ll keep this blog updated as we know when we’ll be shown at a city near you. Thank you again for your support!

Our first read through meeting was Saturday November 10, 2012.

Since we have people from Houston, Galveston, and Houston’s surrounding areas, even as far as College Station, working on the film, we always have to negotiate and compromise on our meeting places to be fair and satisfy everyone’s needs and schedules!

I am the photographer for the film, so I am keeping track of all the behind the scene’s adventures including what it takes to create an independent film (a lot of work). I am also collaborating with Peter, the camera man in charge of the documentary which will be about the process of making the film and who the people are that are working on this film.

A good bunch, but not everyone showed up for this read-through.

Not all but some tech were there including myself, Peter, and Judith- also the writer of the script and the one who has brought us all together. Also, MJ, the director and narrator at the moment, Dustin as Victor Frankenstein, Tim as Clerval, Matt as the Monster, Martha as Justine, Travis as Krempe, and Megan as the Maid.

The Monster

Victor Frankenstein

The Script: Written by Judith B. Shields, which is pretty close to the original text of Frankenstein by Mary Shelley. Only some tweaks and twists have been added to fit criteria for the film contests (yes, this independent film will be entering a film competition!! And it has steampunk influences too!) and to match the actors and actresses personas and voices.

Alright that is all I have for now. Stay tuned because we just had another meeting and read-through last Friday which I will be blogging about!!
