Apsis Motion Pictures proudly presents: “The Reclamation of Louis Ledbetter” , a 48 Hour Film Festival Baltimore entry. Paul R. Sieber and Dylan Hintz star in this dark comedy about a group of post apocalyptic refugees who encounter bad luck and slave traders when trying to rebuild a machine and restart civilization. Be sure to check out the trailer below!
Be sure to check out this trailer, and give full credit to the rest of the cast: Sam Slater, Jasmine Guillermo, Robert Novich, Dan Carter, Tyr Rollins, Anthony D. Paul, and more! I provided stunt coordination, Denise Loukus of Apsis Costuming and Clothiers provided the wardrobe, and ADG Creative was a sponsor on the project!
In this episode of Genre Wars directed by World War 2 enthusiast Christian Swanberg, a squad of WWII soldiers encounters a posse of outlaws, both in search of the mystical “Onium”- an object of unknown properties.
Special thanks goes to Bob Novich for saving our bacon and pitching in as the lead character- his first major acting role since our own post-apocalyptic kung fu western, Line of Sight. Tyr Rollins of Apsis Motion Pictures also came out to lend a hand. Me? I was just happy to be the coordinator on a lot of great western action moments, and have a hand-to-hand with local fight performing legend PJ Megaw!
I got a really great call today from Mike Merino of MCM FILMS. He wanted to inform me that, based on my audition I was a qualified candidate for the role of PARK RANGER JOEY in “DISMAL CREEK”, the upcoming Appalachian-set horror film by the production company known for The Haunting of Pearson Place.
Here’s a plot synopsis, as well as a teaser trailer:
In the 2000 plus miles of the majestic and mysterious mountains in the Eastern side of North America, a dangerous killer plagues the foothills and canyons of the Appalachia. Relentlessly, he preys on the blood and fear of the unsuspecting… as a local Sheriff desperately tries to save six hikers from a terrifying and horrendous death. He’s aided in his quest by two Mountain men, but are they with him or against him. Only time will tell.
Park Ranger Joey is a fun supporting role where I’m sure I’ll get to do some crazy stunt work, share a movie with my good buddy Daniel Ross of Ninjas Vs. Monsters, potentially work with Kane Hodder (in talks!) of Hatchet 1 and 2 (IN TALKS), and get scared out of my mind! I can’t wait for this, it will be an awesome experience!
A few months back I was a guest on Indie Capitol– a local talk show about film makers in the DC/MD/VA area, shot out of Arlington Independent Media in Arlington, VA. The show is directed by Cheryl Brown and hosted by Pamela Nash.
A few weeks ago I was called up by my friend in the Eastern Shore news industry, Kiya Amajioyi, and asked if I’d like to come onto his show for an interview. Of course my immediate response was a cross between “Heck yes I’ll do it!” and “Wait a minute, why me?” Well, Kiya was asking me to participate in his interview segment entitled “FUTURE SUCCESSORS”. I unfortunately couldn’t make it into the studio due to a little storm we had earlier this month…but I participated via Skype and had a fun time doing some telecommunication interview!
Kiya’s show, shown locally on Salisbury’s very own PAC 14, aim’s to inform, hopefully “Changing the world one television show at a time”, as is their mission statement! Anyways, here’s the video, with my own segment taking place around 5:45. Be sure to check out the other two guys book-ending the segment as well.
I hope somehow talking about the hard work put into my film and acting career, a story moderated quite efficiently by Kiya, will help others in their life paths.
Mostly, I’m hoping people see my crazy face on TV talking about movies and acting, turn off the video, and say to themselves:
“Man…that dude was crazy. I think I’m gonna be a doctor. Or a nuclear physicist.”
All-in-all though, this counts as our first “press interview” for Bite the Hand, and features some in-game footage of me fighting Tyr Rollins in THE BRIDGE.
Thank you so much for this opportunity Kiya! I was glad to be aboard and hope to come back to your show later when I am truly a rich and powerful Future Successor!
