No – we haven’t vanished or been abducted by aliens (yet!)! No – just been deep in the trenches working on projects and putting others together, namely one SCORCHED EARTH:The Other Side of World War II feature film by name. Some real impressive advancements  as of late. It’s an ambitious project to be sure but then again, why play small ball? Life’s too short. All of us only have one go around on this earth, why not go for the gold? Let someone else settle for the bronze. As you can see, some impressive attachments already, there are some others we can’t divulge at this point but will do so when possible. Nailed down is a complete & prepared budget, vetted & well-seasoned production group, locale, reenactment groups, & armored vehicles...

Marscher Lords Promo Video: It’s a Wrap!!!

(from left) Edwin H Bravo, Joe Sachem, R.E. Wilhelm, & Nick Vallas between takes.

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Promo in the Can!!! Just this past Tues we shot several theme-based vignettes that we’re cutting into a short promo film for the aforementioned production!!! A terrific cast of mates & new friends including RE Wilhelm III, Edwin H Bravo (who just recently shot an episode of The Comeback with Lisa Kudrow for HBO), Joe Sachem (one of the finest character actors around), Rita Green, who hails from Hollywood’s Golden Age where she was under contract to Universal Studios, Stephen Rollins, Aubreeanna Carroll, & Julian Dorame, who was a fantastic last-minute substitute from Sir Brick Price! He was found by the most wonderful woman  ...

***BREAKING*** DISTRIBUTION SECURED!!!

Fortune Smiles on MASTERS OF WAR:SOLDIERS OF DISTINCTION!!! Earlier this week we secured a distribution network for the show!!! If you know anything about this industry, that’s one of the highest bars one needs to surmount. There are so many potential shows out there that it’s easy to become lost in the deluge. Distributors though are constantly searching for something that is different, will catch – and hold – an audience’s attention, have somewhere to go, and – above all – attract advertisers. What we’re doing here & the way we’re doing it is inherently unique & this distributor sees that...

Whew!

View from above: Telluride from Allred’s

That’s the word that comes to mind after a couple of days spent skiing on the slopes in Telluride, CO.  A more picturesque town could not be found outside of Bavaria or the Tyrol (both of which we’ve been to but never had the pleasure of sampling the slopes while on skiis). The whole affair felt like a cross between “Where Eagles Dare” & “On Her Majesty’s Secret Service“, two rollicking good adventure flicks. However the comparison only goes so far: there was nobody (thankfully! ) shooting at us! Hey – we all can’t be Producer/Director Stephen Rollins in Afghanistan! Stephen – we want you on the team, not taking one for the team! :<D (Steve just had a table read of his new American Identity script, and we would have been there if not for a pr...

ReGroup/ReLoad/Relaunch!!!

Well, the campaign on Indiegogo expired without us reaching out target goal of $70,000 for the production of THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death. We’ll fall on our swords since – obviously – there’s still some things/nuances we’re not doing/aware of re: crowdfunding. There’s a big, still-evolving learning curve on it and obviously our blade isn’t sharp enough yet to cut through the vast swathe of crowdfunding projects listed on the various crowdfunding sites. That’s ok. We’re all about moving  forward and learning as we go. The time the project was active was not wasted, we made many more contacts & connections and were/still are able to turn more people on to the project. Wonder if we were doing a zombie project if we’d’ve done better $$ wise? :<D

In Truth,...

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Teaser Reel is Coming!!!

Yes – by now most of you have seen THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death video pitch on Indiegogo.com. However, we’re not done!!! It doesn’t stop there. We’re going to add a teaser/sizzle reel to the mix!!! Why? – Why not? Because it will only add more and help round out the entire project.

Really? – What will it be like?

We’re not telling. Not yet. But we can say this – both Robert & Edwin will be in it and…that’s it. For now. ;<) Stay tuned.

And of this writing THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death has reached 4,487 Likes!!! 5,000 is not that far away and we should reach that in a fairly short time. Again, if we had a bigger budget for advertising we could probably get there tout suite but we’ve got a lot of projects in...

‘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.

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

Chivalry. Honor. Duty. Gallantry.

But these principles by which they lived ...

Ladies & Gentlemen, the above picture illustrates ENTHUSIASM!!!…

Finally!!!

…in the form of one Ambassador of Goodwill by Producer’s Special Arrangement Paul Stephen Spratt by name, who’s incredibly anxious (as you can see) to get this project up & shooting. Paul is slated to be in the feature length version, and we’re very excited to have the opportunity to work with him. But we’ve got to get this short off the ground first, as it will act as a trailer for the feature and attract $$. Paul’s weathering this winter in the UK (along with the three other seasons). Paul – like his compatriots here in the U.S. is an actor, and a damn fine one to boot! He’s working on a project now – in London we believe. We don’t have the particulars on it yet, he has to forward them (ahem…cough! cough!) al...

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 on the set of ‘Harbinger Down’.

coming in not only from Great Britain, the U.S.,  & Germany, but also the Pacific Rim: Japan, Taiwan, and the Philippines. The latter being the native home country of cast member Edwin H. Bravo, who’s been hard at work on the feature Harbinger Down which began shooting this past week. Included here are some special behind-the-scenes photos of some of the business happening on set...
