The Final Shots

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

Wow, what a busy week.

We finished the last of the principal photography for Light earlier this week at a really nice locally-owned pizza parlor I Rigazzi Pizza on Hancock Bridge. Christian and Danny were excellent as usual. UFTA President Al Quinn was perfect as the grumpy, Italian Pizza Parlor owner – some fine acting there. And we had the opportunity to bring Christian and Danny’s real life mothers, Angie and Susan into the background, along with our good friend, Deborah Ford, who was nice enough to let us borrow her camera for the shots below. (with a couple of extra shots from Sue’s phone) And they even let us eat the pizza!

Now we shift gears into promotion and post-production. We will be putting the final touches on Marty’s favorite, the one character not yet seen on film, then some second unit work and editing, editing, editing. Marty’s already working on ideas for the sequel. We’ll keep everyone updated on the progress of promoting the film as things happen.

Meanwhile, we’re putting the finishing touches on our project for Cape Movie Magic. Stop by this free concert with local high schools and the Gulf Coast Symphony, playing for the first time in Cape Coral, February 28th, from 11am on at Cultural Park, near City Hall. Stop by, listen to the music and get your picture taken with one of our movie impersonators:

Indiana Jones
Queen Amidala
Captain Jack Sparrow
Eragon
Willy Wonka
Star Wars Stormtrooper
Galadriel, from Lord of the Rings

We’ve also heard rumors that some of the fine men of the Fighting 501st will be joining us for the event.

And we have a second date set for our Murder Mystery Dinner Theatre at the Santa Barbara Clubhouse. Mark your calendars for March 21, when we perform “Clubhouse Murders.” More details to come.

In the meantime, enjoy the photos of our fun at I Rigazzi.

Sean Genther, who plays Lucas’ father Blake in Light, is currently appearing on stage at the Sidney & Berne Davis Art Center in downtown Fort Myers (the old Post Office/Federal Building on First Street) in a modern retelling of William Shakespeare’s Macbeth, and does a fantastic job playing both Ross and Caithness.

Death in the Family Cast

Tonight we did our first performance of Death in the Family, written and directed by Marty Wisher, for the European Business Council (EBC).

It was very well received. lots of laughter, lots of applause. Everyone at the dinner party thoroughly enjoyed the night of entertainment and the whole cast did a superb job and had a good time doing it.

Thanks especially to our good friend, John Nicolette for helping us out at the last minute with a much-needed role.

Check below for some various photos of the cast at the event.
