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.

The Movie Theatres at The Villages in Florida screening patriotic films 2020

Powerfully Patriotic Films Programmed At The Movie Theatres at The Villages  

https://www.thevillagestheaters.com/

In honor of our Nation’s 244th anniversary, The Movie Theatres At The Villages have programmed some very powerful patriotic content to be shown on the big screen. 

Opening at The Barnstorm, Brownwood Paddock Square, in it’s premiere national theatrical run, the independent narrative film, “The Outpost”, based on the novel, “The Outpost: An Untold Story of American Valor”,  by Jake Tapper. 

Scott Eastwood stars in a powerful story of badly outnumbered US Soldiers banding together to battle a force of Taliban fighters at a remote outpost in Afghanistan. The film is rated R and runs for 2 hours and 3 minutes.

The Old Mill Playhouse in Lake Sumpter Landing, welcomes US Army Chaplain Justin Roberts’ film “No Greater Love” for a fifth anniversary encore week booking. 

“No Greater Love” explores Chaplain Roberts’ deployment as he and his men fight through a hellish tour in one of the most dangerous places in Afghanistan. The film also deals the team’s struggles to reintegrate at home. 

The Old Mill Playhouse is extremely honored to have Chaplain Roberts introduce the film and bring audiences up to date on his current projects  live via Skype from his home in Louisiana at Sunday and Tuesday nights show at 6:30 pm.  The film is not rated and runs 1 hour and 34 minutes. 

Visit nogreaterlovemovie.com for more information about this exciting and courageous film.

To sing in the 4th Of July in style, both the Old Mill Playhouse and The Barnstorm Theatre welcome the theatrical premiere of the wildly popular and patriotic Amazon title, “National Anthem Girl”, a new documentary about gratitude and The Nation Anthem. 

Janine Stang, aka The National Anthem Girl, commits herself to a goal of singing our Nation’s most sacred of songs in all 50 states and takes our Villagers community along in this 78 minute unrated documentary.  

Janine herself will be introducing the film in person via Skype Friday night at the 7pm show at the Old Mill Playhouse and at the 7 pm show on Saturday night at The Barnstorm Theatre.

Restarting the Film Industry with John Duffy and Tony Boldi

When times get tough we start to find out who our true leaders are.

This has been true in Hollywood during COVID-19.

I would like to spotlight Mr. John Duffy, Hollywood Producer who always has a winning attitude and leads by example.

Have you heard about 

the weekly Town Hall 

meetings called 

Restarting the Film Industry?

This meeting is uniquely designed.

It is a consolidated group of entertainment business professionals, film crews, health care leadership, and government representatives all coming together to share information about the best practices of getting back to work in Hollywood, CA.

As an independent filmmaker, I am proud to see this type of collaboration with union filmmakers for a common cause. 

Mr. Duffy has leveraged his resources to help our entire union and non-union film community make sense of the rules and regulations that will govern the film industry.

This digital Town Hall is a perfect place where everyone has a chance to voice their opinions and ask questions. I really enjoy that the awkwardness of a typical Hollywood mixer is taken away on this platform...

That’s easy, when the common bond why people are on this call is John Duffy. He’s a natural motivator, and builder.

Even though there were about 50-75 other people on the call, I still felt like I was on a familiar film set with my friends.

Leadership totally sets a friendly and approachable vibe, and we all learn a lot too.

Also, Great job to Mr. Tony Boldi for keeping the program flowing so smoothly and keeping things fun.

Interested to be a part of the action?

Clovis Veterans Memorial Film Festival 2017

#CVMFF2017

Shot on actual FILM.

ALL event info can be found here:

http://www.cvmdistrict.org/veteransday2017

The short is a visual expression of what it was like to be a new Navy officer from a woman’s point of view.

When she first shows up, she’s lost and not welcomed by her subordinates or superiors. 

Still shot from film

Through hard work and dedication, she gains the respect of her crew but must still go to head to head with the tyrant that runs the department.

She succeeds at taking over the department and wins his respect as well.

About the Director:

Adrienne Camille

Originally from Texas, I’m a trained actress that sings, dances, and knows martial artist. I came to Los Angeles after finishing my time in the US Navy. 

As a producer, I have worked in nearly every facet of entertainment. I’ve taken scripts from concept to finished product. 

I’ve worked studio lots and in living rooms. I have a finance degree, which gives me a much better understanding of balancing creativity with the reality of budget constraints. Let’s make art, not drama!
