The
Wages of Sin: “Wages” is Now Free Worldwide
Apple
TV users can now see the film in it’s entirety for free on Youtube
Chicago,
IL. Monday, October 31, 2011 — Five years ago Apple launched “Apple
TV”, a set top module that would allow people to stream video from
their computer to their TV sets. While others pondered what it meant
Nathyn Masters jumped on the opportunity. He presented “Wages of
Sin” a no-budget action film to Apple fans. “Wages” became the
first indy film created specifically for Apple TV and iPod users
alike. But even though many bought it from other sites it never
officially got in the iTunes store. But now the whole movie is on
Youtube ready to be broadcast into your home for free via your Apple
TVs and piped directly into your living room or onto your iPods or
iPhone.
“It’s
been an uphill battle to get this thing out there,” says Masters,
“With so much content out there indy filmmaking isn’t what it
used to be, but at least there’s an audience now who loves the kind
of stuff I do.” This year Youtube has been experimenting with
"verified accounts", letting people go beyond the fifteen
minute limit with by using phone verification. This has allowed
Masters and others to show off their wares.
Currently
Masters is shooting his third movie, his first to be shot in HD, a
horror based action movie called “Epitaph: Bread and Salt”.
Centered around characters from an upcoming series of comics the film
is set to be the “issue zero” for the books. The Epitaph story
features world dominating cults, deadly vampires, neo-nephilim, a
clairvoyant zombie hooker, classic superheroes and a reluctant demon
hunter named Victor Locke, who will be played by Masters himself in
the film.
“Epitaph”
is being produced by “Motor Home Massacre” producer Christopher
Free and award winning indy filmmaker John H. Rogers III and is
currently in production in the Chicago Edgewater and Downtown areas.
To
back the “Epitaph” project Masters has also launched a massive
campaign on crowd funding site Indiegogo, seeking $300,000, one of
the largest fundraising campaigns ever for a project of this nature,
but Masters says, “The worst that can happen is I don’t get
anything. If I don’t put it out there, I know I won’t get
anything.” While he’s seeking many things, His major
post–production upgrades are largely Apple centered including a
Macbook Pro, Final Cut Pro X among other Apple software packages.
As
a double whammy, Masters is also writing the whole line of Epitaph
comics and is also drawing the “Epitaph: Abiding Liltih” series,
which he says the next Epitaph film will be based on. The first
issues are available from the Night Phoenix Press website at
