2012-07-04T03:44:00.002-04:00

Jerome Cloutier's first novel, DEAD CAN DANCE, is being rereleased with a few pages of bonus content, all for the low price of 9.99$, June 8th 2012, available at Amazon.com.

The link will be made available once the book is available to order.

Friends meet up in a farmhouse for a weekend party, where a good time is expected to be had by all. What they don't know is that in a nearby field, a cult has summoned forth an ancient demon, who is always up for crashing a party.

The first volume in the Dead Dancer Legacy, and also the first novel written by writer / filmmaker Jérôme Cloutier, Dead Can Dance is a perfect mix of retro horror and fantasy.

Double Feature!

2012-06-18T04:41:00.002-04:00

Two films for the price of one, we are proud to announce the projects we will be shooting this summer!

Smooth Move

Virgil and his equally nerdy friends Eugene, Carl and No-Name somehow end up hosting the biggest party of the year and must pretend to be from another school to fit in with the cool kids of their actual school, meet girls and possibly get laid.

The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of

Heading into the woods to rescue his younger brother who fell off a cliff, a 14 year old and his friends soon become lost and, as time passes, they realize something terrifying is hunting them.

Both these films are currently in pre-production!

The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of

2012-06-15T04:46:00.003-04:00

Hi all!

As The Devil's Music nears completion, pre-production on the next feature, the first of two to be shot this year, has begun!

The Stuff Nightmares Are Made Of
has a rather simple but effective story;

Heading into the woods to rescue his younger brother who fell off a cliff, a 14 year old and his friends soon become lost and, as time passes, they realize something terrifying is hunting them.

The film is currently in the casting stages, and production is slated to happen in early August, to be directed by Jérôme Cloutier, followed by production of a coming-of-age comedy, Smooth Move, co-written by myself, Joshua Bond and Jesse J. R.

Both these films should be completed by early to mid 2013. Indiegogo campaigns for both projects will soon be unveiled.

More on that soon.

"HAUNTED 3D"

2012-04-22T04:56:00.001-04:00

"HAUNTED 3D", an animated horror thriller, gains Devil's Music director Jérôme Cloutier as new co-screenwriter, as well as other odd duties here and there. The film, conceived and to be directed by composer Philippe Moëbius, will be a computer animated romp in the vein of Pixar films and ghost house pictures of yesteryear. Truly, the most "animated" of all horror fantasies.

Here are some concept art of the house itself, to whet your appetites, made by Mr. Moëbius himself;

5th Anniversary updates!

2012-03-09T04:05:00.002-05:00

Although formed in late 2006, it wasn't until 2007 that Heavy Nova Entertainment was unleashed, then known only as Heavy Nova, and later on from 2011 as Heavy Nova Studios.

Along with the name change, a new logo is unveiled, slimmer, sleeker and sexier than ever before.

Look at that cutie.

The Devil's Music is coming along nicely, now in the late stages of post-production, with some reshoots in late April needed until the final edits can be made.

Also coming along is a series made in collaboration with Behind The Couch Films, Timbo & Glubly, a fun animated romp about teenage dinosaurs trying to make it through high school in the cretaceous era.

Check out a clip from the show right here:

Hi all, if you are in the Eastern Townships, chances are you read an article about The Devil's Music in the Sherbrooke Record, which hopefully will bring us some more fans.

For the time being, here is a small version : http://www.sherbrookerecord.com/content/lennoxville-sets-stage-slasher-flick

I'll put the full version on here once I get it.

Here is the first teaser poster for the upcoming superhero comedy, The Glove, which will star Joshua Bond. The film is being written as we speak and will begin production Summer of 2012, with a projected late 2012 / early 2013 release. Enjoy!

New Heavy Nova Studios logo!

2011-09-28T07:46:00.003-04:00

New decade, new direction, new logo.

With The Devil's Music, Heavy Nova Studios is proud to announce plans to produce feature film on a permanent basis, effective immediately.

Plans are already in motion, with the announcement that a deal has been made with Triquetra Productions Canada for myself to direct a romantic comedy written by Nathaniel Villanueva, People Like Us. Production will begin later this week and should be finished around April 2012.

Also, The Glove, a superhero comedy starring Joshua Bond, is currently finishing its writing stage, with production scheduled for Summer 2012. Lisandre Bujold is finishing another feature film script that will enter production in April or May of 2012. Another romantic comedy, There's Nothing New Under The Sun, is in talks, and should be ready to shoot Fall 2012.

That being said, we won't abandon short film, with The Great Grey Witch, scenes of which will be shot this upcoming weekend, to be released before the end of 2011, as well as some other short films and a pilot episode of Creatures Of The Night, to be shot in early 2012.

2012 will be an exciting year for all of us. I can hardly wait.

Something is sneaking up behind her while she attempt to unlock a secret.

The Great Grey Witch and other updates

2011-09-15T16:15:00.002-04:00

I'm getting ready to shoot a script by Lisandre Bujold, a short spooky story called "The Great Grey Witch", this coming saturday. The film will star Lisandre, as well as Joseph Wills in the role of the antagonist.

A woman is on the run from mysterious men in black as she knows too much about an inpending invasion. What secrets does she know?

A deal will also be made for a dramatic piece written by Nathaniel Villanueva, People Like Us.

A man's attempts at getting back to his passion while dealing with the attraction he has to a man who rejected him prior. Meanwhile, his best friend has to learn to love herself before she can let others in.

A different kind of film for me, but if the deal goes through, it will be my second feature film. More news on that soon.

Finally, I've just given a small interview to The Record concerning my first film that was recently shot in the Eastern Townships, "The Devil's Music". I'll post it on here when it comes out.

The Devil's Music HD stills 2

2011-09-05T10:31:00.002-04:00

Here are some more stills from The Devil's Music, this time showcasing some of the supporting cast as well.

I'll upload some behind the scene pics soon, some by myself and some by a talented young local photographer, Jessica Goodsell. She has neat little packages for pricing and she is quite talented for her age. You can visit her site here.

Spider (Nathaniel Villanueva), Franklin (Joshua Bond) and Jack (Joseph Wills) all agree on one thing;
girls in bikini are a fun thing to look forward to.

Jay (Moe Jeudy-Lamour) is not Franklin's biggest fan.

Spike (Jason Dezan) and company are lost, which does not go well with Calvin (Mike Amyot).

Lulu (Lisandre Bujold) is a bit weirded out by the conversation at the restaurant.

Jack (Joseph Wills) doesn't know yet, but he will be appearing on the cover of Tiger Beat.

Stacy (Florence Cloutier-Patte) looks on as her friends unpack the stuff, including hers.

All the girls love Franklin (Joshua Bond), including his sister, Lulu (Lisandre Bujold).

Calvin (Mike Amyot) lets his anger get the better of himself as he sets off to teach Spike (Jason Dezan) a thing or two.

Marsha (Annabel Chung) is irritated at being the brains of the trio.

Winston (Jerome Cloutier) looks on as our heroes enter the restaurant, obviously not looking for tales of dead serial killers.
He will oblige them anyways.

Roy the chef (Jesse JR) and Maggie the waitress (Hélène P. Cloutier) both inquire what's up to the local constable.

Officer Jim Friendly (Mike Walsh) follows a lead into the cemetery.

The undead (Mike Walsh & Naran LaFlamme) stalk our heroes.

Another recently dead (Jessy Leblond) is on the lookout for some flesh.

What 80's horror film is complete without a nice campfire scene?

Dakota (Tania Bolduc) looks on at the horrors before her.


Don't forget, Steve The Miner (Vlad Stokanic) is also in this movie.

And that's it for a bit with the stills. Wouldn't want to spoil every little thing about the movie before it comes out next summer. There are still a couple scenes to complete, but about 97% of the film is shot and being put together as we speak. The plan is to shoot what's left in early October.

That being said, the film is in post-production and I am in talks of getting a professional composer for the score. More on that soon.

Finally, production on the next film will start in late October, so neat stuff on the way for sure.

Here are some HD stills from the upcoming horror film, The Devil's Music. Enjoy!

Dakota (Tania Bolduc) and Jack (Joseph Wills) relax on the pier.

Franklin (Joshua Bond) is happy to be with the gang.

Jay (Moe Jeudy-Lamour) is about to show Jack he doesn't like him while Stacy (Florence Cloutier-Patte) tries to difuse the situation.

Spider (Nathaniel Villanueva) tidies up while the others go for a walk.

The gang is perplexed after a grisly discovery.

Lulu (Lisandre Bujold) and Franklin (Joshua Bond) keep an ear out for scary noises outside.

Something that goes bump in the night.

2011-09-04T04:25:00.004-04:00

The Devil's Music is well under post-production as we speak and work has already begun on the next few projects from Heavy Nova Studios.

Currently, I'm writing the action comedy The Glove, which should be interesting. Attached to star in the film are The Devil's Music actors Josh Bond and Florence Cloutier-Patte. The film is slated to be shot in June of next year.

Also, I'm in talks to direct a screenplay by the talented actor/writer Nathaniel Villanueva, which would start production in late October.

Finally, Lisandre Bujold, actress and producer extraordinaire, is writing both a romantic comedy and an action film, one of which should begin production in April.

I might also shoot a cameo appearance for The Band Of Morons' Yellow Peril follow-up, most of which is already shot. The original can be viewed right here.

The Devil's Music - Trailer 1

2011-09-03T07:26:00.002-04:00

Hi guys,
here is the first trailer for my retro horror film, "The Devil's Music", which is currently in post-production and should be available summer of 2012.

The film is my first feature film, and was shot mostly last August.

The cast & crew were a treat to work with and all in all, it was one of the best experiences of my life. Hopefully, the first of many and then some.

The Devil's Music HD Teaser!

2011-06-30T22:58:00.002-04:00

Here is the first teaser trailer for the horror film I'm working on, The Devil's Music (2012).

"The Devil's Music" is a retro horror feature film set in the 1980's. After graduation, a group of young adults head to the woods for a nice weekend of sun, suds and fun. On their way to the lake house, the town crazy warns them about Steve the Miner, a supernatural serial killer stalking the woods, hunting people who trespass on his properties. Of course, that's not going to hinder the party, which pretty soon kicks off. Couples get together, a lot of 80's dancing occurs, but soon, someone is watching them. One by one, they disappear into the night, until only a few of them are left to fend off the darkness. To make matters worse, suspicions abound that there is more than one killer... Will they survive the night or will they perish as well?

More info on this soon!
