So... What, exactly, is this?

3 Days Later: Jesus Christ Zombie Lord will be a full length motion picture that is a song for song Parody* of the movie Jesus Christ Superstar, focusing on the awesomeness that is the original 1973 motion picture combined with society's current fascination with everything Zombie.

*Literary theorist Linda Hutcheon defines parody as "imitation with a critical difference, not always at the expense of the parodied text." Simon Dentith defines parody as "any cultural practice which provides a relatively polemical allusive imitation of another cultural production or practice."

 
Why are you doing this?

We’re a bunch of actors/writers/singers who really enjoy working together and want to create something fun and exciting that will entertain folks. The JCZL concept is something we knew we could all get behind and we would have a great time making.

 
You realize you’re going to Hell, right?

Actually, we’re pretty sure that The Supreme Being and Andrew Lloyd Webber both have a good sense of humor. Besides, this isn’t supposed to be a commentary on Religion or anyone’s beliefs, but more a commentary on how if someone were to come back from the dead TODAY, people would scream “ZOMBIE!” and run away rather than consider the possibility that there was some other, more Divine purpose behind their return.

 
How much of the movie is already done?

Nothing, actually. Everything that you’ve seen was produced specifically for the trailer so that we could show people what we want to do. It will be re-recorded and re-shot once we go into actual production.

 
Why should I donate money?

You shouldn’t, unless you think this is a fantastic concept and you really want to see the movie happen. We’re going to film it regardless of how much money is donated to the cause, but the donations will determine just how awesome it turns out.

 
What will my $1 ($5, $10, $100) actually go to?

No one on this production is making any money. All donations will go to production expenses such as costumes, sets, makeup, equipment rentals, and travel to locations so we don’t have to shoot the whole thing in a black box theater like we did with the trailer. The more donations we get, the bigger our ‘budget’ will be, and the higher quality product we’ll end up with.

 
Why does the Donate a Dollar button actually ask me to donate $1.34?

If you’re donating under $10, we’re asking that you also donate the PayPal fees as well, so we actually get the whole dollar.  If you'd rather not, you can use the "Other Amount" button to donate only a dollar.

 
What do I get for my donation?

We plan on blogging the production of the movie. If we can pull it off, we’ll try to create some “donor only” content as well—but it really depends on how much staff we end up with.

We’ll also be putting a list of donors on our website. Please be sure to indicate how you’d like to be credited in the Donor "Credit" Info field on PayPal. Please limit credits to real names or “screen names” only. We reserve the right to edit/anonomize any questionable credits.

 
Is my donation tax deductible?

Unfortunately, no. We’re not an IRS recognized 501(c)(3) non-profit organization, so you can’t deduct your donation.

 
Will I get my donation back?

Unfortunately, no. Your donation is a donation, not an investment. No one involved with the production of the film is making any money (many of us have already shelled out a significant amount of cash just to get this far). We don’t plan on actually making any sort of profit with it, either, which means there will be no revenue to split with investors.

 
Okay, you SAY you don’t plan on making any money, but what happens if you DO?

Any profits we accidentally make will be donated to the Andrew Lloyd Webber Art Foundation to support grants for the Creative Arts.

 
I don’t like sending money through the Internet, is there another way I can donate?

Yes! You can send a check or money order made out to Clay Robeson Creative to:

JCZL Attn: Donations
c/o ROBESON
PO Box 731384
San Jose, CA 95173
 
This is awesome! I want to be in the movie! Can I audition?

We’ll definitely need dancers and extras throughout production. Unfortunately, we’ll only be able to take local talent who have their own transportation. And we can’t pay anyone. If you STILL want to give it a shot, send** a headshot* and resume to:

JCZL Attn: Casting
c/o ROBESON
PO Box 731384
San Jose, CA 95173

Or email them to casting (at) 3DaysLater (dot) net.

*or just a recent picture

** if you’re under 18, you must have your parents send a note giving their permission for you to submit your information to us

 
This is awesome! I don’t want to be on camera, but I want to help out in some other way!

We’ll definitely need crew during production as well. If you’d like to help out behind the scenes, just keep in mind that it won’t be a glamorous job, and we can’t pay you, and you need to be local and have your own transportation.

Just send** a resume*, with a cover letter explaining what types of jobs you’d be interested in and/or willing to help out with to:

JCZL Attn: Staffing
c/o ROBESON
PO Box 731384
San Jose, CA 95173

Or email them to staffing (at) 3DaysLater (dot) net.


*enthusiasm for the project is just as good as actual production experience in some cases, so don’t sweat not having actual “movie” experience. List what you can do, and we’ll take it from there.

** if you’re under 18, you must have your parents send a note giving their permission for you to submit your information to us

 
How do you plan on distributing the film?

That’s a very good question. At the very least, we want to submit it to Festivals. Hopefully we’ll be able to distribute it on the internet as well. Check back for more information on this one.

 



Newsflash

We're going to make this movie regardless of what sort of budget we have... however, with your help, we can make it even BETTER.  For just a dollar (that's less than a third of the price of a cup of frou-frou coffee), you can help the Zombie Jesus come to life... er unlife on the big screen.
