For weeks, we’ve talked about Max, Jake’s, so far unseen, pet that was created as a result of an explosion in science class.  But for a variety of reasons, we kept Max under wraps so far.  No longer.  It is time that the world sees Max in all, okay, most of his glory.  Thanks to some clever model work and a couple of long nights of puppeteering and compositing, we are now proud to show off the most unusual character from Light, Max:

Honk Along With Me

Tim Ullio & Caleb Williams

Two of the teenage actors we worked with on the film Light appeared this past weekend on their high school stage.  The boys appeared in Honk, a musical based on the story of the Ugly Duckling, at North Fort Myers High School Center for Media & Arts.  Caleb Williams, who also starred as Jedi-in-training Grill in Grill’s War, played the father of the unfortunate duckling, Drake, and Tim Ullio, one of our teen bad guys from Light was in just about every scene as part of the chorus.  The musical was very funny and the kids did an awesome job of singing a variety of musical numbers.  A lot of talent for a high school.  We can’t wait to see what they do next!

Starlight In the News

Friday, March 20th, 2009

Well, we’re just 24 hours away from taking the “stage” at the Santa Barbara Clubhouse Grill & Bar in Cape Coral for the premiere performance of “Clubhouse Murders” interactive comedy murder mystery dinner theatre show.  The Fort Myers News-Press Gulf Coasting was kind enough to publicize the event for us.  The cost is only $40.00 per person for dinner and the show and there are still some tables available.  Call 239-574-7050 for reservations or directions to the show.

And our own Marty Wisher was interviewed for the online newspaper, The Examiner, about “Light,” Starlight Productions, and her work as an actor.  Check out the article, along with a few others about acting in Southwest Florida from former United Film & Television Artists President Deb Ford.

Clubhouse Murder Coming

Tuesday, March 10th, 2009
A little worried here...

A little worried here...

Fresh on the heels of their success at the Cape Movie Magic Event, Starlight Productions returns to the Santa Barbara Clubhouse Sports Grill & Bar for another fun evening of interactive humorous murder mystery.

On March 21, 2009, Starlight Productions presents their original humorous murder mystery show, “The Clubhouse Murder,” for the patrons of the Santa Barbara Clubhouse.

How far would you go to get what you want? For money, fame and love, they’ll cheat, lie and manipulate. If the clubhouse manager holds the keys to make any of their dreams come true, which one of our skillful suspects is willing to risk it all to get what they want? As the twists and turns mix with laughter and surprises, can you figure out whodunit before another unwitting accomplice is done in?

Join us at the Santa Barbara Clubhouse Grill & Bar on March 21st at 6:30pm.  They’ve lowered the price this month to $40.00 per person.  The Clubhouse is at 2114 Santa Barbara Blvd., Cape Coral, FL, near Cape High.  Call 239-574-7050  for reservations and directions.

The Final Shots

Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

light_031Wow, 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.
