Writing for Showdown in Secret City Resumes
Last November we shot the opening sequence for our 4th film in the Smoky Mountain Chronicles: Showdown in Secret City. The scene is a re-imagining of the Legend of John Henry. I have always wanted to film a take on John Henry, and this version includes a dirty wager, the Spearfinger Mojo, the occult, a harlequin, and other oddball ideas that gives the story a new flava. I was thrilled to have so many old friends from EGO PRO Wrestling help out with the acting. Damned fools like Octavious Black, Spoony Mack, the Hollywood Kid, Warren Peace, and other wrestlers like Rashard Kennedy and Kris Bell. Several other thespians, lesbians, reenactment actors, magicians, clowns, friends and fans came out to help out the funky cause.
Right now, we are adding a small dose of CGI to the film. We are going to release it as a short for festivals and to promote the feature film. Speaking of, Big Luke and I are finalizing the cast/ outline/ script this week and we plan to starting filming in February. We may need your help! Keep reading to see how!
A good way to support us is by purchasing merch from our store. (DUH). Well, we opened it back up this week with a meager line up of goods, but by the end of the week the store should have some new surprises- THINGS YOU HAVE NEVER SEEN!!! Please consider buying some jive b/c making movies isn't cheap!
