WE DID IT!!!!
The HIA crew traveled to Anaheim this year for our second appearance at WonderCon and this year was even better than the last.

BEHIND-THE-SCENES OF OUR PILOT EPISODE SHOOT

Last week the HIA cast and crew headed up into the Santa Cruz mountains near Los Gatos, CA to shoot the pilot episode.
After three 12 hour days and three craze-filled nights, we have emerged from the mountains with enough behind-the-scenes footage to choke a zombie or two.

Enjoy some of these exclusive BTS photos of the cast and crew on location as well as a very special video featuring our own Anthony Larice (Loryn) and the new HIA mascot, Walter.
Make sure you look for us at WonderCon in less than 3 weeks where we will be premiering the pilot as well as selling our new sports logo zombie t-shirts and more!

NEW SYDNEY, GEEK SPEAK, WONDERCON 2012 & THE PILOT

We’ve got a lot of great news to talk about today, so sit back and enjoy what’s new in the world of ‘Help! I’m Alive…’.

It’s been nearly a year since we shot last year’s WonderCon Promo, and in that time a lot has happened with this project.
Most recently we have begun pre-production on our pilot episode with plans to shoot later this month in Los Gatos, CA. Rehearsals and prep have begun in earnest.
With WonderCon 2012 quickly approaching, we’ll be premiering the pilot at WonderCon this year in Anaheim, CA.

If you haven’t already, make sure to get your WonderCon tickets as they’re selling out fast!

With every project and production comes bumps in the road and always unexpected problems that can delay and offset deadlines and wreak havoc on an otherwise smooth process.
As an indie production we are no strangers to this and were presented with a big problem when the actress playing one of our main characters had to bow out.
With just over a month until shooting was to begin we were left with no “Sydney” character.
While a lot of people would see this as the beginning of the end, we instead saw it as an opportunity to go back and re-cast one of the most integral characters of the entire series.
We auditioned a handful of actresses and within just a couple of weeks have chosen our new “Sydney”.

We’re very happy to introduce you all to Aleks Eydelman who will be portraying “Sydney” in the show.

We are all very excited to be working with Aleks and can’t wait for you all to see her, and the rest of the cast, in the pilot episode.

Most recently HIA was asked to return to The Geek Speak Show to talk about what we’ve got going on in the new year.
Creator & Producer Anthony Larice, along with Director & Producer Justin Berger, joined Henry & Romo to discuss WonderCon, zombies, characters, comics and merch.

Listen to Justin’s interview here:

Listen to Anthony’s interview here:

Again, make sure to see us at WonderCon 2012 in March for the world premiere of our pilot episode!
Thanks as always to all of you for your continued support of the project.
We are very excited as we prepare to shoot later this month. We’ll have plenty of behind-the-scenes video and photos for everyone, so keep checking back here at HelpImAlive.tv, at Facebook and of course follow us on Twitter.

Until next time survivors…
