Success of “Lone Survivor” Shows Strength Inherent in ‘Brotherhood’-type Films…

As of January 15, Lone Survivor, the motion picture adaption of Marcus Luttrell’s harrowing experiences while in Afghanistan, has pulled in over $47.9 million at the box office. That – in and of itself – proves that there is a strong market for films that place the spotlight on “the brotherhood”; the common bond that forms among men who are at war. Men at war form a special bond that transcends many things over one’s lifespan. We’ve heard many Veterans describe their buddies in combat as “closer to them than their wives” several times. Combat certainly has to be the most incredible stress of all time, and a bond forms between these men that never fades, never dies...

THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death is Now Active on Indiegogo.com!!!

Now the real crunch time begins!!! As of about 2 a.m EST, the Indiegogo.com page went active. A bit delayed after some hand-to-hand combat with PayPal (why is it there’s such trouble recognizing accounts?) but that should be ironed out soon if you’re looking to donate via PayPal. We’re Up!!! We’re Up!!! We’re Up!!! A long time in coming – maybe too long for some of our fans – but trying to prep the ground properly. Crowdfunding is not an exact science and many are still learning as we go along. Most of the preparation concerned getting the word out via the Facebook page, which still continues to steam on strongly...

Let the Drumroll Begin…

Medieval_Knight01…just hours to go before THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death launches on Indiegogo.com!!! What a long, strange trip its been, learning so much as we go along this journey together. What started as a small, independent yet forceful production has – proudly – remained so. Staying true to historical roots is what we’re all about here. The several drafts that were written on the script, getting it to where it now is – which in our estimation – is absolute perfection. We’re not boasting, just confident of what we’ve created. Edwin H. Bravo & I have enough experience working in the industry (stage plays, films, short films, Shakespeare) that we instinctively know when something is right and has been taken to its ultimate height...

7 Days & Counting to Going Active on Indiegogo.com…Plus The Nuts & Bolts of the Actual Shoot…

Medieval_Knight01If you’re going to be coming onboard & pledging $$ to THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death, we thought you might be interested in what the nuts & bolts of this film shoot will entail: a film shoot is part schedule, part chaos, and a large dose of  frantic “hurry up & get it in the can before we lose the light!” Film shoots – depending upon where they are – can be a bit of a logistical nightmare which is why studios love to shoot on soundstages: they can control the environment (i.e. light & sound – the two most crucial factors involved).  With THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death, the shoot is a two camera (Arri Alexa) three-day, all day outdoor shoot (fortunately our production team is ...

Countdown: 8 Days to Go…

Medieval_Knight01Before THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death goes active on Indiegogo.com January 15, 2014!!! It’s coming down to the wire. The project’s Ambassadors of Goodwill by Special Arrangement are already working hard spreading the word and will – shortly – have something to pass on that – we hope – will add a bit of excitement & something that you too can get if you so choose. We spotlight them here in recognition of their invaluable assistance in this production, they are (in order of joining the project):

Stephen Paul Spratt, United Kingdom

These Ambassadors of Goodwill by Special Arrangement are important links in the Public Relations chain: we couldn’t be doing what we are without them...

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

deutscherordensritterep2Bloody 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 ...

Medieval_Knight01Countdown: 12 Days to THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death Goes Active & Producer Takes Fire in Afghanistan!!!

It’s coming down to the wire folks! In 12 days THE MARSCHER LORDS:Brotherhood or Death goes active on Indiegogo.com. This is crunch time! Now – with your & your friends financial support – we can make this project happen and write a new chapter in the annals of motion picture history and – most importantly – YOU & your $$ – are the deciding factor!!! No corporate board deciding what you see, YOU ARE!!! As heretofore stated (in a previous post), we live in revolutionary times. Now, you have as much – if not more power – in your hands than do the corporate industry decision makers running the industry. Up to this point, they – and in large part still do – decide what you see...
