Woah!!! How time gets away – far too long between blog posts!!! Our sincerest apologies but we’ve been going from one project to another without interruption. Since then, our very own Robert E. Wilhelm has appeared in several shorts as well as working with the legendary Russ Woody on a special performance of his new pilot Deleria. He’s also slated to shoot some pick-ups on his latest indie feature Candid Carmen & Co., directed by Noé Obregon Escobar. It’s a rollicking, comedy/drama about the pits and pratfalls of a street theatre group in L.A. Also stars Katy Bodenhamer,  Alejandra Morin,  Lissette Feliciano León, Jesse Pimentel, Jovanna Nicole, and Takaaki Hirakawa...

New Executive Producer came onboard who absolutely LOVES the entire concept as well as the script and sees it as a full length feature film instead of a short (well, in the interests of full disclosure so did we!!!). Dearest thanks go to Project Manager Adela Taylor for putting together the Project Book to that made it – as it is – eminently unique and ultimately unforgettable!!! Add to this we proudly announce the addition of our cast member – Yul Spencer – AKA “KOOL YUL” – to the production.

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death is Now on IMDB!!!

As previously mentioned, THE MARSCHER LORDS: Brotherhood or Death Promo Video/Commercial is now in the process of being scored – with ORIGINAL MUSIC!!! Composer Drew Tretick unfortunately became detained on one of his current projects so he referred the scoring duties to his close friend Hans Karl, who we couldn’t be happier to have aboard!!! Keeping it all in the family!!! The initial work on the shorter of the videos (yes – there is more than one! ;<) is more than promising & Hans is incredibly excited to be working on it!!! The music itself evokes masculinity, raw emotion, power,  loneliness, gentleness, honor, respect, kindness, & love. Of course tying it all together are the moving pictures it will itself overlay...
