This must be the season for trailers!
Last week we were treated to the teaser for Ready Teddy. Now, the trailer for Shroud has finally appeared online at www.shroud-movie.com. However, you won’t find me in front of the camera this time around. This is the film on which I served as Associate Producer, Assistant Director and Editor over the last couple of years. The movie is now completed and your first look is just a click away!
It has been almost a year since I completed my editing duties and handed the film off to Jetrefilm Entertainment for the final stages of post-production. In that time, the movie has undergone numerous changes as colors were tweaked, digital effects produced, sound effects added and music composed. The director also re-cut much of it to his liking. It was only last week when I recieved my copy in its completed form. After viewing the fruits of our labor, I am pleased to report that the Shroud experience has been a satisfying one.
So, at long last, here it is!
Vodpod videos no longer available.
Written and directed by life-long friend David Jetre, Shroud was a daunting undertaking littered with inumerable challenges that I’m still amazed we managed to meet. My thanks to producer Edgar Pitts and to David for allowing me to be a part of this amazing adventure. It was a pleasure to participate in your show. Also, my compliments to David for cutting a fine trailer.
Well, what did you think? Comments? Go on, you know you want to say something!
This weekend I will be playing the role of former Beatle Paul McCartney in a short film titled Ready Teddy. This won’t be a portrayal of the public McCartney, the animal-rights activist, entrepreneur and philanthropist. No. This is the McCartney from the mind of Jarod Costa, a local filmmaker who loves deconstructing icons. This McCartney is nasty.
The film will involve a short scene with McCartney (me), John Lennon (former KD Studios classmate Scott Barber), George and Ringo tormenting a kidnapped Elvis Presley. What they want from him is ambiguous but it is clear that McCartney wants Elvis to acknowledge their superior pop status. Of course, the King bows to no one, not even for a fried peanut-butter and banana sandwich — hence the conflict.
