Wow. Big Thank yous to Bros. Scott and Patrick Bryant, owners of Budget Tire & Automotive. I don’t want to imply the service department of the Toyota dealership where I bought my car was trying to rip me off. Nor do I want to name said party. Let’s just say they said it should be a priority for me to replace my water pump for more than $500, because it was leaking badly… Besides the fact Budget offered the same job at $300 – when they got under the hood they found there was absolutely no leak, and no need for servicing the water pump at all. Gee… “I just want to thank you”, Scott and Patrick. For everyone else:

Ethan Marten – busy, busy, busy.
Sci-Fi fans, off to LA in morning finalizing “Atlantis Down” with MaXaM Business Partner and Director Max Bartoli. Pick up scenes to be shot, with Travis Quentin Young, Mae Flores, Greg Travis, and Dean Haglund. Interviews to be executed with the writers, and Michael Rooker. A family reunion literally and figuratively to be had. Life is good.

Co-starring in “The Perfect Breed”, a horror movie with vampires set against the backdrop of the Civil War. Then tapped to co-produce the movie. Vampires, witches, werewolves, war, pyrotechnics, underwater scenes, sword fights , FX…. What more could a boy ask for? Working with Director Scott B. Hansen, Writer/Producer Cyril Augustin, and Actor/Producer Brandon Cordon was sublime. Four funerals is highly conservative, but made a better headline!

Shot two other films back-to-back; “Don’t Mind Me”, and “Dog With Two Bones”. “Mind”, co-written by Nathan Galvez and Lauren De La Calzada , co-stars Marty Terry, Shawn Estridge, Justin Clements, Nick Ventura, Jonathan Reiger, Alexandria Clark, and newcomer (sure to be heard from) Zach Holder. Brandon Cardon produces, and seems to be everywhere these days! I play “Cave”, the reptilian part of our hero’s brain.

“Dog”, written by Joshua C. Mims and Directed by Randall K. Maxwell, co-stars “Atlantis Down” Star, Darla Grese. Darla gets to be the alien this time. Wedding bells, perhaps, for two interstellar crossed lovers?
Directed DreamZ (Documentary) for Sean Holder, and producing “Watermen” (shooting August, 2010) for Writer/Director Matt Lockhart. Casting to take place within a month.
Visit the IMDb for updates.
Bringing back from L.A. episodes 6, 7, and eight of “Atlantis Rising: The Making of Atlantis Down”.
That’s a wrap(up)!
Best,
E.

Saw a short subject, Sea of Trees, written, shot and produced within 48 Hours by Idyl King Entertainment. Intrigued is putting it mildly. Wrote Screenwriters William Dresden and Grayson Wolfe to congratulate them on such a splendid piece….
This last weekend I found myself driving, giddy as it were, to Newport News in what was becoming a blizzard to take part in their follow up entry into the 48 Hour Film Festival, and a possible exhibit at NAB – Chaz + Jones. It was well worth the drive. No spoiler alerts needed. Suffice to say, this pic is another well-written bit o’ dark comedy, drama, and a buddy movie to boot. I was not alone in laughing out loud when reading the script. Pamela Good, one of the area’s premiere actors was heard remarking she observed the makings of young Coen brothers. Quentin Tarantino was mentioned a bit as well. Influences notwithstanding, it was obvious there was a lot of talent flying around the set. The production team was loose & easy going to be around, yet tight & efficient to watch in action. Always fun to be creative – even more fun to do it in a collective. Thanks Idyl for a thoroughly enjoyable collaborative experience. Photos Courtesy Idyl King Entertainment
