'Walk of Fame' Still

Here's a still from the forthcoming short film 'Walk of Fame.' Nathan Yoder portrays Jake Taylor, a filmmaker who's made some wrong choices in his life until he finally hits rock bottom. For a while it looked like this wouldn't be seen but it appears that this spring it will see the light of day.

Interesting last few weeks...

What started as a new Detective story set in Hollywood (with a comedic twist) took a turn into the John Belushi story - both of those didn't work out...that led to brief turn into a horror short, which I wrote (and hopefully will be filmed very soon)...and I ended up starting to put together a documentary about a sad event that shook the USA to its core in January 1986.

Another 'Knock' Location Revisted

A few scenes were actually shot in the same location next to Lake Hollywood, CA. The park, which is actually a dog park, is located right under the famous Hollywood sign - and what's funny is that the story was set in CT - and it looks like it - but it was shot in LA! The Hollywood sign was never shown and the greener makes it look like New England.

'Knock 'Em Dead, Kid' Location Revisted

It's been a little over 3 1/2 years since the filming of 'Knock 'Em Dead, Kid.' Today I happened to be near one of the locations and I decided to take a photo of it. It hasn't changed much at all. It was the swing set where Bret and Trish talk - and remember the story was set in CT but was filmed next to Lake Hollywood, CA.

Projects

Most projects are in limbo right now....such is life in Los Angeles. But there is a possible documentary subject (a short) that may be taking off...details soon...

What a Week

Earlier this week - things looked good as far as putting together a short film based on the final days of John Belushi. The script was just about ready, casting had begun, and pre-production was moving forward. Until...the legalities of using a deceased celebrity started to impact the project. 

So, after all was said and done - legally it can't be done right now. It gets put on the shelf. On to another new project...

New Projects

2 new short scripts are being written as I continue to try and find financing for the new feature project. I feel that these shorts can help keep the creativity going. Details on these projects very, very soon!

'Visions of Violence' Rare Photo

A rare photo from the movie 'Visions of Violence.' In this scene, Chris (and his crew) leave the Ramada Hotel, and run into Danny, who pretends he doesn't know them. Some of the dialogue can be found on imdb (under quotes for the movie) and here is a sample:

Chris: We are leaving the Ramada. We are live. 
Jeff: Hotel number two. 
Chris: We are live. We are live right now... wait a minute, we got this guy right here. Excuse me sir, what are you doing at the Ramada? 
Dan 'The Man': Um, I'm Ramada security. And, what are you guys doing here?

Early 'KEDK' Poster

Matthew John, a UK based artist, designed this early, preliminary design for 'Knock 'Em Dead, Kid.' This was a very early design that is interesting in its depiction of the characters.
