The First Thanksgiving, 1621, by Jean-Leon Gerome Ferris

Being on the eve of Thanksgiving, all of us here @ QuarterDeck are eminently thankful for all the support that has materialized for all the projects on slate; from the venerable Sir Brick Price (& his wonderful wife Lady Laura Price)  of  Wonderworksweb.com, who are not only some of the gracious & giving  people (as well as a veritable brain trust & wealth of knowledge!), but some of the friendliest & finest people any of us have ever met. Many thanks go out to Lenser Extraordinaire  David Hansen-Sturm of Twin Palms Media for working with us under/beneath/and over top of the curve to help get all these teasers/trailers “in the Can’. ‘ Many thanks also go out to Adam Bednar & Richard A...

It’s official!!!

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death is now officially its own corporation!!! As now are all QuarterDeck Production Corp. projects!!! Thank you QuarterDeck CFO Ruby Emerald Diamond for all your knowledge, diligence, & expertise in cutting through all the bureaucratic red tape!!! As heretofore stated, she really is a pure Gem!!! Filmmakers should always form their projects as corporations, as it gives your potential investor knowledge that you are operating on a professional basis & security that you’re not some fly-by-night operation.

Meanwhile,  das Panzer Jagd geht weiter – the Tank Hunt continues. Just spoke with the wonderful Allan D. Cors, Chairman, Board of Trustees, National Museum of Americans in Wartime and come to find out they own & operate two T-34/85’s!!! ...

Countdown to THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Going Active…

…on Indiegogo.com is January 15, 2014. This is where we hope to raise the necessary $$ for production. Please tell all your friends, family, people you know, people you used to know, people you may know, people you don’t know, people who you don’t want to know, & people who you certainly – in all circumstances – definitely do not know (whew – that cover it?). Today ads began running on Facebook in the U.S., UK, & Germany.  Oh, to be in deep pockets when production time is near ;<). But we’re not – at least not yet – not till we get this one under our belt. THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death will establish QuarterDeck Production Corp. & the brand...

Out with the Old. In with the New…

These are truly revolutionary times we’re livin’. When has the power of technology been so available to those who seek it? It’s has never been as easy to produce & shoot your own film/tv project than now. No big clunky film cameras that make noise in action. Got a handheld? – That’ll do! Besides – it’s quiet! Whether funded out of our own pockets (like we haven’t all done this?) or from crowdfunding sources (the latter is a special skill still developing, as yours truly has found out). Even distribution is different now. Can’t secure a distribution deal thru the big studios or one of the smaller companies? Okay – create your own website for it and put it out there. Is it easy? Well, Yes & No...

On Location: USS Enterprise CV-6 Hangar at Planes of Fame Air Museum

1/2 IN the Can…

Thanks to Jerry Wilkins & all the staff out at Planes of Fame Air Museum in Chino, CA!!! A wondrous shoot that actually didn’t take all that long (Getting IT in the Can PDQ!)  Colonel Reynolds was first up on slate (or is that the chopping block?), relating his experiences in Iraq where he spent a good amount of time in the “Green Zone” under rocket & mortar attack. Particularly harrowing were his tales of being stalled in a supply column outside of Fallujah and the time two of his charges become disoriented while driving outside the “Green Zone” and were – thankfully – able to be coached back to safe haven before any trouble started...

Wow! – I’m stunned (or maybe that should be “pleasantly surprised”) at the impact our facebook page has had: THE MARSCHER LORDS: Brotherhood or Death  has: 804 Likes. 411 Talking About. A lot of interest continues to pour in from both Great Britain & Germany (and people thought chivalry was dead – hah!); quite the contrary actually, it seems there is more of a hunger for it than ever before. Maybe it’s these crazy times we inhabit. Maybe it’s people looking for something (or someone) who truly looked out for others and not only for themselves. Sad to say, the latter does sound a bit old-fashioned, n’est pas?  Well, we can always aspire to greatness. Even if we fall short, at least we’re still trying to be better than we were five minutes ago...

THE MARSCHER LORDS: Brotherhood or Death Grows in Popularity on Social Media!!!

Thank you One & All!!!! THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death facebook page  has just passed 615 likes with 381 “talking about”. HOO-RAH!!! That figure will probably be obsolete shortly (like we’re complaining? – NOT!!!) How’s that for a no-budget PR campaign? And to think we were ecstatic when we reached 500 likes!!! Proof positive that not only is there an audience for this film but that audiences are obviously hungry for something different. Standard Hollywood fare has become rather stale of late (with – of course –  the aformentioned exception of Fox’s new Sleepy Hollow). As our dear friend & Exec Prod (but shortly to move into Executive Production Design) Sir Brick Price has mentioned, so many dramat...

Knight Leads Charge to Fund Local Film!!!

[socialring]

Well, the momentum continues to build!!! The unique situation surrounding this project – and all involved with it – has piqued press interest. Below is a screenshot of the actual article. Can’t post the link here but it can be viewed over @ www.valleynewsgroup.com on page 7. In reality this project has taken on a life of its own (Serendipity, n’est pas?) Uhh…maybe more Providence from where I’m sittin’. But either way it’s a major shot in the arm. Make sure you check out our Facebook page and give us a “like” [icon icon=icon-smile size=14px color=#000 ] but – most importantly – don’t forget to support us on kickstarter.com!!! Remember, this is the movie you are making!!! Here’s your chance – no matter where you are – to make a diff...
