Still from upcoming, "The Gardener"

This maid has a bit of an attitude.  "The Gardener" is much more ambitious that our first one-location short.  We will be traveling to many spots for this tale.  Here the gardener is delivering to a wealthy customer.

"The Doctor's Last Day" to be screened in two festivals this month.

Our first two festivals!

2nd Annual Sigmund Freud Film Festival and Challenge in Tampa on May 5  and 

The Film Collective -- Philadelphia on May 13!

A fabulous voice over session with two Johns

Two fantastic voice talents -- John McDonnell and John Weagley -- lent their grunts, moans, jabs, and dulcet tones to our upcoming stop motion comedy, "Would you rather I was dead?"  

So fun to see them at work.  

We're lucky to live in Chicago where there are so many talented VO artists. 

We will start filming "Would You Rather I was Dead" later this year.

 

Philadelphia film festival has invited our "Doctor's Last Day!"

More details to follow!  We are excited and grateful.

Going Native -- an OFFICIAL SELECTION! - First-Time Filmmaker Sessions Film Festival

John Weagly joins cast of upcoming stop motion short

We are so thrilled to have John's voice for a character called,  "The Calm One" in our stop motion comedy, "Would you rather I was dead?" 

JOHN WEAGLY has been heard as the voice of HarperCollins/HarperKids Publishers, Wendella Sightseeing and on multiple podcasts including High Country Drama and Lumpy & Sasquatch.  Some of his favorite stage roles include Stefano in The Tempest, Brother Matthew in Monasteries, Curley in Of Mice and Men, Marlowe in Forget Him and touring with Authorized Personnel: A Comedy & Improv Team.

Upgrading our "set" for stop motion filming

For our first little stop motion film I used whatever was on hand.  I helped our Barbie cast stand with various cheats, including using window insulating putty.  It wasn't always successful.
After internet research I found a large piece of steel and Rick has started to make me a stage.

I've started to experiment with magnets.  So amazing to see Arlene and Doctor standing!
