Countdown: 10 Days to Go Active on Indiegogo.com…

Bloody Hell!!! It’s coming – and fast! No matter how much preparation you think you’re doing, there always seem to be loose ends. With this kind of film, it’s preparation/preparation/preparation before execution…not only on the QDeck blog site but also THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death on Facebook page. The excitement continues to build: what we’re doing here is quite unique; taking totally original works – that are based in actual historical fact – and presenting them to the public in a new & different way, especially focusing on the  subjects they haven’t seen . Those last three words are key:  they haven’t seen ...

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...

Time for New Blood & Fresh Concepts

Masters of War: Soldiers of Distinction One She

Touched on “me too-ism” a bit in the last post, an affliction that – unfortunately – afflicts the masses. Unsurprising this, for when an idea shows itself to be a success it invariably invites imitation. However, old parables can be turned on their heads in such a way that they reinvent themselves. It’s been noted in the media that television writing has surpassed that of films, a point that certainly has merit , however by turning old parables on their heads you wind up with a result like Fox’s new Monday night series Sleepy Hollow.  Well written, well acted, enormously entertaining to watch and completely unpredictable, it melds an old parable with that of the Apocalypse and the Coming of the End Times...
