Bill Zebub is finishing the re-edit of QUANTUM LEAP OF FAITH. If you have seen the first cut, then you will be impressed by the new version. There was a Kickstarter for this project, so funders get their first. However, it will be available for streaming, initially on Bill Zebub’s vimeo page.
The movie might be available next year as a retail version Bluray, without the huge amount of behind-the-scenes that funders will receive.
FANZINE EDITOR is a new style in the world of Bill Zebub, which is more of a slice-of-life movie that does not have a grandiose story. No, it’s not targeted for film festivals. There is no target audience. The movie is a creative exercise. It will be interesting to see what will happen in the wild after the release. The movie is 40% shot.
GRAMMAR NAZI is about 10% shot. Most of the extras have been filmed, and some minor scenes have been completed. The movie doesn’t fit neatly into any one category. There are horrific elements, sci-fi, social critique but not preachy, romance, and tragedy. This also falls into the category of a creative exercise.
THE SORROW OF FRANKENSTEIN is in the beginning stage. The tests for the monster’s face have been completed. You have never seen this depiction. Don’t get too excited. This is not a horror movie, thriller, or even a narrative. The book is too psychological for those genres. This will be art house, like a visual poem.
Bill Zebub ran a Kickstarter for QUANTUM LEAP OF FAITH because he wanted to see if fans were sincere when they clamored for a re-release. The re-edit, packed with extras, with an optional second disc of bloopers, will be mailed out to funders in June, after which you may obtain the BD-Rs fr $40 each. Email bill@billzebub.com if you want to be on the list (it’s a limited offering).
During crowdfunding campaigns, movies are offered at a normal price, but due to the rarity, the price doubles or triples after the campaign ends. This is because some fans buy multiple copies as investments. (They also buy multiple copies of retail movies because they know some movies change covers, etc. each replication of 1,000).
THE TAMING OF ANDREA is now available for $40 as an uncensored BD-R (now that funders received their limited edition units. Email bill@billzebub.com if interested. Bill Zebub has completed scripts forGRAMMAR NAZI, STABBED IN THE ASS, FANZINE EDITOR, and I SQUIRT ON YOUR GRAVE. Some small scenes have been filmed for those movies. The larger scenes will wait until crowdfunding campaigns for each of those.

DISGRUNTLED EMPLOYEE is a possible re-edit, with tons of behind the scenes, but it might not get a crowdfunder campaign. instead, it might be best to just email fans if they want a BD-R. If you want to be on the list for this, email bill@billzebub.com
KILL THE SCREAM QUEEN is now available on BD-R for $40, which includes behind-the-scenes. There was a crowdfunder for this one. If you missed out, you can get of these limited copies. Only 300 are available. Yes, this is a re-edit.
Jesus Christ: Serial Rapist is now available for $40 as a limited edition re-edit with behind the scenes footage.
BREAKING HER WILL is amazing first-time viewers. It’s a re-edit, so fans who saw the original are also raving about this one. Please also be aware that ZOMBIECHRIST and RAPE IS A CIRCLE also have re-edits on Bluray.
Bill Zebub wants to re-edit SANTA CLAUS: SERIAL RAPIST for a few reasons, but it’s up to fans. The new cut will have a different title. The current DVD will be taken out of circulation, so if you might want to nab the remaining copies out in the wild.
The new cut will be released under a new name, and there might be replaced footage with new actresses (at least for one character).

Other movies are also under consideration for re-edits mainly because of fan requests. Some movies that might be taken out of circulation this year are:
EXPLOITATION
TEXAS CHAINSAW MASCARA
DON’T CALL THE POLICE
BOOGERS OF THE ANTICHRIST
A DEVIL’s WIND
INDIE DIRECTOR
SICKO, the BLOODCLOWN
Others are also on the chopping block. One reason is because there will be re-edits.
There are at least 12 new scripts being finalized, so there is no shortage of ideas. Kickstarters will be launched for each. Speaking of which, some assholes think that crowdfunding is asking for donations. No. Crowdfunding gives you something for your money, like a movie. Yes, there are assholes who take advantage of fans and charge $30 for a digital download, but Bill Zebub’s crowdfunders sell movies at a normal price, usually autographed if you want to sell later for a profit.
When a movie is crowdfunded, that means the director can make the movie his own way. If there are investors, they will insist on changes. Bill Zebub writes the scripts, so he prefers less money in exchange for full creative control. Of course, he can get investors, but they just care about profit, not about creativity. it would be nice to make DICKSHARK for 11 milion dollars, but there would not be as much bizarre behavior and there would be no graphic content.
Remember, Bill Zebub’s crowdfunding is not begging. It’s offering something real; you are PURCHASING, not donating. Don’t confuse Bill Zebub with the charlatans out there.
Bill Zebub has launched a Kickstarter for the re-edit of “Jesus, the Daughter of god” which is not renamed to “Quantum Leap of Faith.”
The reason for this re-edit is because the movie has been out of circulation for a while, and some fans contacted Bill Zebub to ask for replacement copies of their lost discs.
Additionally, people asked for the movie at horror conventions.
Bill Zebub launched this campaign to see if the requests for the movie were genuine, and indeed, this is the case.
This is a re-edit, which makes use of Bill Zebub’s new skills and ideas. This also makes sure that the original cut still remains valuable. Some fans like to collect extra copies of movies because they know they can sell for hundreds a few years later. Bill Zebub does not want to diminish the invenstment.
Enjoy this parody of Slayer’s “Post Mortem” (Post Raisin Brand) by Bill Zebub. Youtube age-restricted this because the community standards are those of Puritans, but you can just sign in to youtube and free yourself from the imbeciles.
Early this year, a fan asked Bill Zebub to try Gumroad, which was a site some indie directors used as a means for fans to download movie files. The initial test was a success despite the interface being primitive, counterintuitive, and almost impossible to find some answers.
It didn’t take long for Bill Zebub to receive emails that claimed to be from gumroad despite the sender’s email not being from gumroad, being from “iffy” something or other.
Bill Zebub combed through the dashboard and found no notifications, and fans still were able to buy downloads.
As an added measure of security, Bill Zebub found a customer service address and emailed what happened. He received three different emails back that seemed to be written by AI. One of them described what phishing was. Duh. One of them described what to do when phished. Duh. One of them gave instructions about how to find messages in the dashboard, but only in a cursory way that really meant nothing. It was like being told to go find notification in the dashboard, but there is no such entry.
A sensible person would think that the emails warning of suspension were phishing attempts, especially because no errors or notifications were in the dashboard, and the emails were not from gumroad. Bill Zebub googled “iffy” and you can too. Could gumroad really not have any humans working there and just use AI to send erroneous and misleading emails?
While Bill Zebub was on a filming trip over a thousand miles from his computer, his account was suspended, unknown to him. When he returned, he found emails from fans asking why they can’t continue with checkout. Bill suggested they ask customer service. He assumed the primitive and counterintuitive interface sure was to blame.
On a whim, he emailed the support email of gumroad to ask if his account was frozen. Her received three emails, all by AI, with contradictory answers. Only one email stated that his account was suspended, and it had a link to appeal the decision.
Bill Zebub’s movie “Crippled by Desire” was flagged. In the appeals box on the primitive interface, Bill Zebub simply wrote that all movies were widely distributed and that the movie in question was part of the SERIAL KILLER COLLECTION Bluray sold at major retailers, and links to the movie on those sites were provided.
Bill instantly received an email with a scripted message that, due to repeated offenses, the account is permanently deleted.
Fans hated the site, and Bill Zebub should have listened to them. The only reason why gumroad was tested was because it is good business practice not to put all eggs in one basket.
The reason for this post is to warn people that gumroad is a site that doesn’t seem to be run by people. When you ask a question via email, you will get the equivalent of reading a Chinese fortune cookie. Buyer beware.
THE TAMING OF ANDREA will soon be available for streaming, but an UNCUT version is now available on a BD-R. Email bill@billzebub.com to see if you can get your hand-numbered and autographed copy for $40.
Andrea Hall was the first actress to star in this disturbing movie about a serial rapist who poses as a driver for a ride-share app. She was filmed in Atlantic City.
Alina Praszka was filmed in Montclair, New Jersey, and Nadine Stevens whom you might remember from SCIENCELESS FICTION returned to the world of Bill Zebub movies for a scene shot in the Poconos, Pennsylvania.
There are more scenes to be shot. The style is visceral and disturbing, which is the opposite of American movies that sanitize this kind of content. It’s like making a movie about football without any footage of football games.
Bill Zebub added, “I reached out to actresses who worked with me in the past, as a surprise to their fans, but some no longer are involved in acting, having gone on different paths. I will continue reaching out, but I also want to hire new talent. The material is so disturbing that it might spook some newcomers, which is another reason for favoring prior hires. They know, from experience, that what looks crazy in the script is actually shot safely and comfortably.”
More news to come. This is one of the long-term projects which allow Bill Zebub to focus on his main titles, like his Frankenstein art house movie, and it also makes it possible to film across the country. After all, the character is a criminal on the move.
