A Night at Graumann’s Chinese & Dances With a…T-34?

Category: Production Blog Comments: No comments

When it rains, it pours!!! Now our very own R.E Wilhelm III has not one but two films to shoot this July: Director Mark W. Curran’s psychological thriller “The Abandoned Dead” & Mike Moutsatsos’ family saga “Barker Daniels“. Ahh, such is an actor’s life! Feast or Famine it is. Just one of those things (& sometimes a veritable Trip to the Moon on Gossamer Wings!). This past Friday was the Dances With Film Festival 2014@ the legendary Graumann’s Chinese Theatre in Hollywood. Mo Fitzgibbon & hubby Robert Walker premiered a new music video of Joanna Tepper, Save the Children. Take a bow – both of you!!! Definitely outclassed – by far – the other vids that were presented. Well done!!! Excellently produced, shot, & edited!!! Kudos!!! Remember Joanna is the offspring of a songwriting family, s...

The horror/psych thriller genre is certainly one that makes $$$, which is obviously why they keep making them!!! And that will continue until the pubic at large tires of them which has yet to happen. In that vein, our very own R.E. Wilhelm III just booked a lead part in Mark W. Curran’s upcoming indie feature “The Abandoned Dead” (no website as yet – under construction). The script is a real thriller with a fascinating twist at the end. No campy ‘teens-lost-in-woods-hunted-by-crazed-zombie/vampire’ schlock here (life’s too short for that!), but a very well-thought out & well-written project. Principle shooting begins this summer. Well done Mr. Curran!!! We’re earnestly look forward to the result!

FV ‘Harbinger Down’ Hauls its Deadliest Catch Yet & ‘It’s Not Just a Movie, but a Movement…’

‘It’s Not Just a Movie, but a Movement…’

Chivalry. Honor. Duty. Gallantry.

Those words may be a bit foreign to some in today’s modern, fast-paced, teckie-type world, but to knights of the Teutonic Order, Knights Templar, & the Livonian Order, they were sacred words by which to live and die. Die schwerpunkt, or “point of main effort”, was to protect the what was considered at the time defenseless (see below) making the pilgrimage to the Holy Land. It was for this that they were founded. The Teutonic Order’s castle still stands today at Acre, on the peninsula in the Gulf of Haifa. Amazing, since it’s been fought over and around about six times since the First Crusade in 1104.

On the Cutting Edge…

And building…building…building a fan base, building a social network, building a base from which to operate. As every professional military officer can tell you: every offensive depends on logistical support – without logistics – your attack may start out great but will soon peter out unless properly supported. You must maintain the velocity of the drive. So far that’s been about 99.999 % of what we’re doing here. The fanbase continues to increase across the globe, we’re seeing a huge uptick in interest & Likes on the FB page coming – in particular – from the Philippines. We would never have predicted this, but since THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death cast member Edwin H Bravo is a native-born (Sampaloc, Manila) Filipino, it’s a nice benefit...

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Now Over 4,200 Likes on Facebook!!!…

PR for THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death continues apace. We’re up to 4,205 Likes with 999 ‘Talking About’. Audience numbers continue to grow, proof again that there is a market for this type of film. So – it begs THE QUESTION: why are pledges to the project so slow? THE ANSWER: We just need more people (i.e. a bigger audience from which to draw). The state of the economy is not in a good place, and is unlikely to be so for quite some time; high taxation, lowered incomes, & crippling business regulations do not a healthy economy make. So we have to roll with that and turn it into a positive. What we’re trying to do here is produce an exceptional trailer for a full-length feature production...

Edwin H. Bravo

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death cast member Edwin H Bravo has a new role in a film called Harbinger Down. See it here on FB!! Edwin is fortunate enough to be working with the legendary Lance Henriksen, and 2 time Oscar nominated Visual Effects Creator, now, writer and Director, Alec Gillis. Filming starts next week. Hoo-rah Edwin!!! Edwin describes it as a “Horror/Sci-FI” film & that’s what Lance excels at. Apparently he & Lance must have got on pretty well, as Lance already gave him a gift for Edwin to wear during the filming, something pertaining to the character Edwin is portraying. You can check it out on Edwin’s page. We earnestly look forward to the result!!!
