webisode 9

Family Contact dabbles in the nocturnal mystical arts. You can never have had too much of a good thing, but this could be the last episode in our Webizodes series, for a while, in case you didn't pick up on that.

We've been working hard to explore new and exciting ideas in our next series, slated for release in September. http://livingwithfriends.com will be your the spot that you can find that at, once it's up.

Featuring:
Leon Hui & Hannah B. w Family Contact

Markus Wong: bio

I was Born in 1994 in Hong Kong and moved to Canada when I was 5. I have been interested in movie making since seeing the re-releases of the Star Wars films in theaters. It made me want to be a director like George Lucas. I started making films with my parents video camera with my friends and brother. Last year I attended the Christie Rivers Summer Camp and working with the councilors and campers really wanted to take my movies farther. When I’m not in school and if Aaron and Zak are free I try and make movies with them.

Robert "V-Chip" Lanski: bio

I was born in 1995 and grew up in the beaches of Toronto until my sister was born and my mom moved to Ottawa. I started making web diaries when I was 9 on my mom's old laptop (but don't ask to see them!) and sometimes I used my dads camera. My dads a real movie buff so when I was born he was gross enough to film my birth and one time I almost watched it by accident when I was trying to find a new tape to record with. But luckily it wasn't such a disaster. When I finally saw the second half of "Signs" I knew that movie making was all I wanted to do. When I was at christie rivers day camp last year I learned everything from how to set up lights to how to make my own sound effects and make my own dvds. Sometimes I like to push my actors a little farther. I would like to thanks Aaron and Zak, best.

Our own lil' Gus Van Sant. Markus and Robert took us into the intemate state of mind import to all physical trainers. It's what makes them goal oriented and drives them to strive for nothing less then supermen.

This is an epic creeper, staring a whole cast of top notch talent, especially Andrew Stankus, he really gives it in and turns the dial. It's about schoolkids trying to get off and connect through to the other side via a Seance and a Ouija board. "Trust me my friends have done it, it was scary but I heard the "girls" say how brave i was later!" -Markus Wong. "This is hill-R-ious." -Bobby "V-Chip" Lanski

"Cyril Vs. Helloch" Dir: Markus Wong & Bobby "V-Chip" Lanski (w tech and script assistance from Zak, Aaron and Efe)

There's an old technique to editing that a lot of people don't understand and you have to look back on it's history to really feel comfortable with, but now a days u can use greenscreen to make things easy. Aaron and Zak are superb editors but sometimes even that can't keep them safe from their conscience.

"Bad Editing" Dir: Markus Wong & Bobby "V-Chip" Lanski

My friends are making bets all the time, i think they are trying to make life more difficult for themselves. When they complain and lose they should have known from the start, that's how they chose their directions.

"A Spud or a Wart" Dir: Markus Wong & Bobby "V-Chip" Lanski

My friends argue about everything... Somtimes people argues over the little things.

"Fries and Salt" Dir: Robert Lanski

Marcus Wong is a selective personality and I'm proud to be his bud, be does all sorts of emotional exploration and is there for me when i hurt. he wrote this.

Some people theink they're all that, and do drugs like herowine. Then nobody likes them, and they might get sick without a friends help. This is a message to help your friend out of sticky spots.
