(Tallahassee, FL) - A native of McCook, Nebraska, Nix completed WMD while in film school at Florida State University, one of the top film schools in the nation.
It wasn�t easy. The crew braved swarms of mosquitoes and pitched in each day to push their production trucks out of the swamp mud.
�I had Marines on set at all times. They were constantly mentoring the actors� says Nix.
The crew had a scare when they were pulled over by the police with a trunk full of AK-47s (used as props). (Fortunately the police did not ask to open the trunk.)
Working on a limited budget, Nix auditioned his cast � based in New York and Los Angeles � via Skype (a video chat service). He chose improvisational actors because �improv actors are the funniest� and he says that �everyone on the cast was crazy, but in a good way.�
Nix was selected as only one of four award-winners featured at the premiere of http://www.RedMovieHouse.com -- an online social movie theater that launched in July.
RedMovieHouse.com features the work of rising stars - exceptional new talent in the film industry. The site resembles a small-town movie house, where films play for just a week. Movies continue to be free as long as you share and rate them.
WMD received the Silver Remi award from the Worldfest-Houston International Film Festival.
