Frank’s Last Stand
The following is a very quick peek of Phase Two. This is a quick edit done by our very own Shaun Piccinino who plays Frank in this scene. Special thanks to Shaun for this rough cut! Besides being chased by zombies, Shaun does work on Adult Swim’s “Robot Chicken” and Spike TV’s “Deadliest Warrior”. Very multi-talented guy!
It’s in the can!

Just when Bakersfield film fans thought Hectic Films was no more, comes the huge film project “Phase Two,” which promises more explosions, crazier zombies and even better acting with Hollywood talent in the cast. Only, this film is in association with Higher Definition Media and will be mostly shot outside of Bakersfield.
“I’m not allowed to disclose our budget,” Rickey Bird of Hectic Films said. While the budget is rumored as sizable, that doesn’t mean it’s of Hollywood blockbuster scale. It does mean that film crews will be shooting on a camera fit for Blue Ray disks.
Jason Sanders, who started Higher Definition Media with colleague Andrew Waite, added that the budget is good enough where they can hire actors, have catering, pyrotechnics, props and vehicles.
