Cerebrum (short film) - Trailer

Hi, everyone. Just wanted to share the new trailer for my new short film CEREBRUM. Releasing next Tuesday, November 21, 2023.

Simon, debilitated by Parkinson’s Disease, takes back control of his body after receiving an implant in his brain that runs on a yearly subscription.

Here it is!

Maurice Vaughan

Thanks, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. I'll check it out and let you know what I think.

Maurice Vaughan

Phenomenal film, Marco WestWood Gonzalez! I was blown away by the directing, writing, acting, and production value! Denver Marcus is fantastic as the lead! You cover really important topics in the film like Parkinson's disease, Dementia, and having to go into debt to get procedures and surgeries for a better physical life.

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan Thank you man! And thank you so much for taking the time to watch! I'll pass that along to Denver! Not an easy performance. Glad to hear that on the production value. We really tried to make it seem more expensive than it actually was hah.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. Appreciate you passing it along to Denver. Yeah, the performance didn't look easy. I kept thinking, "That looks hard." The film looks expensive. Glad you all were able to make the film on a lower budget. Can't wait to check out your future projects.

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan Thanks for the support!

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. I'm subscribed to Denver's YouTube channel. I saw him in another film, but I don't remember which one. Was he in another one of your films?

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan Yes, he was in my last two films! "The Color of Blood" and "Clint"

Maurice Vaughan

Oh, yeah, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. I remember seeing Denver in "Clint." Not sure if I've seen "The Color of Blood."

Robin Gregory

Marco WestWood Gonzalez This looks fantastic. Interesting to think that it isn't sci-fi. Brain implants are being used for Parkinsons, OCD, and epilepsy (Deep Brain Stimulation).

Leonardo Ramirez

Wow! Marco WestWood Gonzalez - this looks awesome! I’d watch the whole movie right now!

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan I think I remember you commenting on Color of Blood. It was the black and white noir.

Leonardo Ramirez

Awesome Marco WestWood Gonzalez - I'll check it out! Thanks!

Maurice Vaughan

I might've watched "Color of Blood," Marco WestWood Gonzalez. I didn't see my comment on YouTube. Did you post the film on Stage 32? I might've commented there.

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan Yeah looking back it was here!

Maurice Vaughan

Ok, cool, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. Are you planning on making a feature film?

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan It's the next step for sure. I've made so many shorts over the years. I have several scripts, but none of them are small enough to produce on my own. I'm going to continue to try and get one of these made, but I know I should start looking into making something microbudget myself probably.

Debbie Elicksen

Oh wow. What a great concept. Can't wait to see this one. This one looks like a winner.

Leonardo Ramirez

Just finished watching Cerebrum, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. You did a great job! Well done!

Maurice Vaughan

I definitely think you're ready for a feature film, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. I'm sure you could put together a micro-budget feature with the talent and resources on Stage 32.

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Leonardo Ramirez Thanks! Thank you for watching!

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan Thanks for the vote of confidence man. I'll definitely have to do some digging.

Maurice Vaughan

You're welcome, Marco WestWood Gonzalez. Happy Holidays to you and your family!

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Happy Holidays Maurice Vaughan and everyone else here too!

Maurice Vaughan
Leonardo Ramirez

You’re very welcome, Marco WestWood Gonzalez I can tell it took a lot of hard work by the people involved. All of you really put your all into it. Nicely done. Keep going!

Robin Gregory

Just watched CEREBRUM. Truly riveting, unique, chilling psycho-thriller. You are talented, Marco WestWood Gonzalez .

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Thank you Robin Gregory ! Thank you for watching!

Robin Gregory

You are so welcome, Marco WestWood Gonzalez Happy Holidays!

Richard Buzzell

Well executed and a great look to it.

Richard Buzzell

Marco - I'm wondering how much Cerebrum cost to make?

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Richard Buzzell Between paying for a few locations, some of the actors, some props/costumes stuff, light VFX and a poster ended up a little under $2500. Though it'll go up a few hundred thanks to film fests submissions

Maurice Vaughan

All of that for a little under $2500, Marco WestWood Gonzalez!? That's IMPRESSIVE! The film looks like it cost a lot more.

Richard Buzzell

Marco - I re-watched Cerebrum with an eye on production values and I have to say being able to do all that on only $2500 makes you a certified magician.

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Maurice Vaughan Glad to hear that. Richard Buzzell Thanks man haha

Richard Buzzell

Marco - "Cereal Killer" was also very well done.

Sallie Olson

Me thinks the annual subscription is going to be very, very important in this film... Can't wait to see it! :)

Marco WestWood Gonzalez

Richard Buzzell Thanks! I know it has a lot of problems (especially the second half), but thank you for watching!

Sallie Olson

Marco WestWood Gonzalez Oooooo! It's on YouTube! I know what I'm watching next! (After I get my words done for today. It will be my reward!)

Richard Buzzell

YouTube thought I should check out the directors reel video from Marco WestWood Gonzalez. So I did. Very impressive.
