This script page is page 1 from the original screenplay for 'Hollywood.' It even has some of my script notes - this is from my archive collection.

New Interview Promoting the upcoming 'Walk of Fame'

Here's the link to my new interview which helps promote the upcoming 'Walk of Fame.'

Rare 'KEDK' Still

A rare behind-the-scenes picture taken during the shooting of 'Knock 'Em Dead, Kid.' Chris (center) directs Dirk (L) and Chad. 

'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. 

Another Behind-the-Scenes still from the set of 'KEDK'

This behind-the-scenes still on the set of 'Knock 'Em Dead, Kid,' shows Chris going over the script with Dirk Julian (who played Bret) and cinematographer Shane Greavette.

'Visions of Violence' Collage

This 'Visions of Violence' collage, was a promotional item when the movie was finished. 

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.

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!

Rare Behind-the-Scenes Photo from the Set

This rare behind-the-scenes still, from 'Visions of Violence,' shows some of the guys clowning around. In this still - Jeff tries to separate Mike and Jake in what should be a tense scene. 

'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:

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.
