May 30, 2010 "HELP WANTED" renamed to "The Incident In Tesla" So for a few weeks now we have been contemplating the name our project. It’s come to our attention that the name “Help Wanted” has already been used on numerous other films for many years now and we’re not particularly fans of reusing names. So we thought about the situation long and hard. Many texts were sent from the east coast to the west coast, in state, out of state and of course the easy way of communicating, actually hearing each other voices. And we came up with a newer more dangerous title that actually fits the tone of our supernatural, suspense, mystery film more… ![]() Yes, The Incident In Tesla. And look who was one of the first people to find out about the new title. ![]() Yes, THAT Kevin Smith. |
