A Trip Into Hell

Zero Untitled is proud to announce our next project, a collaboration with Texas A&M University – Kingsville’s club Gamerz Elite.
The project, called “Into Hell: A Trek Through Dante’s Inferno” will be a walking tour through the 9 rings of Hell, as outlined by Dante Alighieri’s “The Divine Comedy.” The club and company will be transforming the university hall, Sam Fore Hall, into the 9 rings of death, but with a contemporary twist.
Instead of merely watching people suffer in Hell, audience members will witness that actions that send people into Hell.
The show can best be described as a walking tour, haunted house, live art theatrical performance.
Performance is ONE DAY ONLY – February 25th at 8:00pm and there will be a $2 charge.

First Ultra short film, “Pilo, the Never Ending” premieres!

Zero Untitled’s 37th production has been unveiled!  This production is very unique for several reasons:

1. Our first film since 2009’s “Over White Wine

2. Filmed entirely in northern California

3. Used an all-Vietnamese cast & crew

4. Our first film in the “Ultra Short Films” series

5. Music by They Call Me Jessie

6. Zero Untitled’s first attempt at a B-movie style film

As you can see, we are very excited about this short flick.  Go to the “Pilo, the Never Ending” page, under “Productions” and check it out!

Upcoming ultra short film series

Zero Untitled is proud to announce our upcoming series of short-short films.  The films will, like “The Suicide Note”, be under 5 minutes.  As of right now, ZU is planning at least 3-4 ultra short films.  Our first has already been filmed and is heading to the can.

“Pilo, the Never Ending” is the first in the series.  It will star Kayden Nguyen, previously in “13: The Political Climate of Freemasonry.”  Because of the brief nature of the films, not much can be said about the films without giving too much of it away.  See the “Pilo, the Never Ending” for more info.

“The Run Around” CANCELLED

Due to directorial dilemnas, “The Run Around” has been officially cancelled.  The director, Chad Wallace, has been transferred to another military unit over 230 miles away, thus unable to fulfill the directing duties.

Because Zero Untitled is continuing on with “Twas the FLOP Before Christmas”, the time constraints have become too great.  We regret to let the show go and we were unable to find another director to fill the slot, but the shows must go on.

Look for “Twas the FLOP Before Christmas” opening December 18-20 at the Lab Theatre on the TAMUK campus.

October/November Wrap

October and November turned out to be a busier month than anticipated!  In the middle of “The Run Around” rehearsals, we veered off to tackle two other projects – “Our Gift from Prometheus” and “Epitaph by Moonlight”.

“Our Gift from Prometheus” was our sequel to the fire-breathing spectacle “Surprise Flash Bang”.  It was performed at the Fall Carnival at Texas A&M – Kingsville (TAMUK) with the ska band One Pin Short accompanying the fire-breathing.  Barry Berryhill, Alan Guzman, Michael Verderber and Chad Wallace were the fire-breathing extraordinaires.

In collaboration with TAMUK’s Department of Art, Zero Untitled revived “Epitaph by Moonlight” for a one-time-only showing.  The play has previously appeared on the Texas A&M University – Commerce stage as well as TAMUK’s.  The play, which was performed at the Lab Theatre, drew a Sunday crowd of 24.  A decent turnout considering the holiday weekend and the show time.
