U.S. military veterans make movie waves in Florida - Narco Sub

"Narco Sub"  

Summer of Stryker

Can a small team of independent media professionals gain market share from giant Hollywood Studios?  Yes. It takes a high level of quality experience and confidence to accept the mission of going head to head against the Hollywood machine. 

“Narco Sub” uses entertainment to bring attention to human trafficking, which is a worldwide problem that we face; and this message is important enough to defy all odds. Bringing a film to the big screen during COVID-19 is no easy task. 

Imagine an independent film like "Narco Sub" taking Big Screens away from a Hollywood movie title at the cinemas! That's a big deal.  There are a limited amount of screens in the USA, and every film project is competing for the attention of cinema owners.

Patriot Day eve, September 10, 2021 Deepwater Productions and U.S. Army veteran Mr. Marcus T. Bovee II, CEO of VetFlicks will bring new film content to the big screens. The problem is that theatres have been denied new films by Studios for the past year. It makes it very challenging to operate a business like a theatre if the people who own the content are not sharing it. Now these cinema owners will honor their exhibition family relationships with independent film distributor, Impact Releasing, by screening “Narco Sub” to live audiences in Central Florida, USA.   

Integrity and levels of high character are always in style, in business and with personal relationships. This is why when things got tough in the external environment, Mr. Bovee and his team did not lay down to die. They knew an audience was starving for new content, and they wanted to serve their community. There is a story here about resilience, true grit and doing whatever it takes to connect with the right people.   

An unexpected opportunity was created since the pandemic, and CinemaCon is where “Narco Sub” moved in to gain rapid business growth. What this team has accomplished is the glimmer of hope and inspiration needed for the indie film community.  

USMC veteran, Oscar Garcia of Magnitude Visuals has been an integral part of developing the entertainment business strategy with Impact Releasing/VetFlicks. They are collaborating with smiles and standing their ground in uncertain times.

Texas competes with Hollywood - "Narco Sub" the movie is making waves with #summerofstryker

The Texas Film Scene is proving that you don’t need to be in Hollywood to get things done.

Summer of Stryker is here!

When a person typically thinks of Texas, they might not necessarily think of Film productions and Movie premieres on the red carpet, as one of the major qualities of the Lone Star state.

This has changed recently, with Texas-based companies producing Hollywood level films and bringing in the talent to match.

Non-studio companies have not let the pandemic halt their progress. As a matter of fact, they have found more ways to produce and distribute films efficiently and with tighter budgets. Deepwater Productions has hosted a series of Military Appreciation Watch Parties, where they offer free T-shirts for a certain number of early guests.

Will the recent box office success of these independent companies attract big budget production companies and talent agencies out of Southern California, and into Texas or Florida?

Is there training and development established

for filmmakers and talent in the South?

KMP Entertainment is a Texas based company that specializes in teaching: Film Acting, Film Writing, Improv, The Business of Acting, and Cold Reading as well as serving as an agency. KMP, founded by Kendal and Michelle Murray (Son-Mother) , heralds professional development in the film world to those who aren’t living in Southern California. KMP has some great things in the works for the upcoming year.

“Narco Sub” at Lucas Cinemas - Fort Benning, GA - July 31, 2021

Army Veteran Marcus Bovee does what very few have done before in the world of feature film distribution.

Action / Adventure 

Rated R

Marcus Bovee leads the Theatrical Distribution team at Deepwater Productions/Releasing

as they deploy to Fort Benning, Georgia for a“Narco Sub” Military Appreciation Watch Party for active duty Soldiers, their families and the civilians who support Fort Benning.

If any independent film wants to stand a chance for a theatrical release in a cinema, it takes a village of people who are vey passionate about films, and who honor relationships to get a movie to the big screen.

In many cases, generally speaking,

it’s not “what you know” it’s more of “who you know”

when a person wants to get things done in entertainment business. . .

In this case with "Narco Sub", meaningful relationships with Lucas Cinemas pay off in a big way, for the independent filmmakers and for the movie going audience.

One of the most exciting parts of creating a film is when the filmmaker can share their vision and their crew’s craftsmanship,  with an audience on the big screen.

 An unparalleled experience. Another big milestone has been met, since we can now see "Narco Sub" film posters hanging up in front of the Post Exchange for the Soldiers along with movie theaters all over the southern United States.

https://lucascinemas.com/fort-benning/

This accomplishment is truly impressive, as Mr. Bovee aims to bring a dash of Hollywood pizazz, and a whole lot of integrity mixed together, to create a unique cinema experience, for the movie lovers of Fort Benning.

His professionalism and his expertise in Film distribution has been a great addition to the Deepwater Productions team. It has enabled them to bring higher quality, independently produced films, to patriotic audiences across the United States.

See you at the Movies!!

For the #SummerOfStryker campaign, we follow the Narco Sub story, as a former NAVY SEAL, Bruce Stryker hunts down a Columbian drug cartel, to get back his kidnapped wife and daughter. He deals with a serious ultimatum, to deliver a shipment of drugs via a hijacked submarine, or face certain death by the cartel.

We are left wondering,

Will he become a criminal to save his family?

Join us with friends and Family!
