Meeting some fascinating individuals with incredible experiences to share. Thus far we’ve met two “Mustangs”, had our First Lady Veteran (Coast Guard) who had a really funny story to tell about how she met her husband; a proud Marine Officer who fought in the storied battle of Hue City, South Vietnam during the Tet Offensive in January 1968; a Veteran of a Graves Registration unit (what you never hear about – the aftermath of war) who arrived to clean up after the first big battle in the Ira Drang Valley with the NVA in 1965 which was made into a feature film “We Were Soldiers” with Mel Gibson...

Hey All –

Bolts of Electricity through us and the projects!!!! Been away from blog posting too long but have been deep in the trenches doing the work that is Independent Film; when you’re an independent filmmaker, it’s all on YOU: writing/producing/production capital fundraising/etc. We were fortuitous to meet the venerable Bill Rebane who we’re mighty proud to have onboard as Executive Producer on SCORCHED EARTH:The Other Side of World War II. (Ck out the new website!!! Still under construction but we’re live!!!) If anyone knows independent film, it’s Bill Rebane, who has been a true pioneer in this industry as well as an Entrepreneur – this quote is from his Wikipedia Page

“Rebane is credited with the introduction of the first 360 degree (wrap around) motion picture process to the M...

BREAKING: ROBERT E. WILHELM Guests on Blog Ralk Radio!!!

Our very own Robert E. Wilhelm was accorded a wonderful opportunity to be a on-air guest on the Saturday Symposium of Blog Ralk Radio with hosts Gary Edwin Rumer & Scott Osborn talking the industry, acting, and motion pictures.

“SCORCHED EARTH” Rising…

Category: Production Blog Comments: No comments

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...
