The Rebane Formula – Peace of Mind for the Feature Film Investor…

Peace of Mind for the Film Investor…

A post on the business side of things. The above words are not exactly familiar to too many Film Investors. However, as Independent Filmmakers we are of the opinion we should go as far as we possibly can to provide as much of this to our Investment Group as possible. What we have is – in a word – revolutionary and thanks go to Executive Producer Bill Rebane. Bill is a veritable encyclopedia of knowledge (don’t miss his Wikipedia page) learned through experience when it comes to making money via Independent Film. He wrote the book – literally. Let’s be honest – making money via motion pictures is a risky business. Always has been. Always will be. There’s no getting around that. Any type of venture capital enterprise contains certain inherent risks...

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...

“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...

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.

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 LeónJesse Pimentel, Jovanna Nicole, and Takaaki Hirakawa...

Welcome 2016!!!

Welcome 2016!!!

Woah!!! Here we are – 2016 – and we’re WAY OVERDUE for a blog post!!! Sorry folks, we’ve been acting in other projects and fine-tuning the ones we have on slate. We have some major news – some of which we can release at this point – yet on some other we’ll have to wait and finalize things first. As you know THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood of Death is now a full length feature film!!! The investor who has come on board read the short script we had, said “I love it but no short – this is a feature film!” You’ll not hear us complain about that; in the project synopsis Robert E. Wilhelm (writer) conceived it as a trilogy feature franchise. There is more than enouimage6gh material there, it is a very rich story environment!!!

UPDATE: As noted in a previous post, we’re very proud of o...

Whoa! – What happened to Summer 2015!!!??? Boy that went lighting fast!!! We’re way overdue for a blog post and things are taking off so here we go…

Ladies & Gentlemen, we live in exciting times, to wit:

Big – B-I-G NEWS : THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death is now a full length feature film!!! 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.
