At the top there is “Library 1″ and “Library 2″. The pictures are from day one and day two of the shoot. I must warn you that some of the pictures ( Day 2 ) are pretty gruesome. There was some pretty heavy effects shooting that day.
Enjoy.

So.. I have a lot going on with “Depravity” right now and not much time to be writing Blog posts. We have a great horror film with amazing people working on it. Seriously amazing people.. Writing and Directing a feature film is a very labor of love intensive task.
If you check out our Depravity myspace account under blogs you will see some great news about the film. The link is below and on the sidebar.
I’m hoping to keep everyone informed during the process of making this film.
Sincerely,
Christopher M Downs
