I am excited to announce that Wild Rej Productions is taking the next step towards our long term goals. We have numerous projects in various stages of development, and we are starting a new program for anyone who wants to participate. It’s called “Fun to be a Fan” and here’s what it is…

Anyone who becomes a fan of Wild Rej Productions on Facebook OR who signs up for our email newsletter will be listed in the credits of our next film. We are prepping the film now for production. We’d really like to make it fun for people who are fans of what we do.

Furthermore, this website will be drastically changing soon. The company has grown, and the site is going to have different needs in the future. We will still offer great production services include video and audio, and we are going to move towards producing original stories.

We are excited to move forward!

The reasonable man adapts himself to the world, but the unreasonable man tries to adapt the world to him. Therefore, all progress depends on the unreasonable man.

The “Raiders” Story Conference

I came across this post on Mystery Man on Film and thought I would share it with anyone who is interested in how film concepts are flushed out. This is an awesome look into how one of the most successful movies of all time developed from idea into a blockbuster.

If you enjoy Raiders of the Lost Ark, check this out!

Anyone else think this is fascinating?

Corrado

I just finished reading the collected blog of the production of the film “Corrado”. If anyone is a filmmaker, or someone who loves inspiration, guts, entrepreneurism, and general business savvy, you NEED to read this.

Produced, written, and directed by Adamo Paolo Cultraro. He chronicled the making of his first feature on dvxuser.com and then put all of the forum posts together in three sections: pre-production, production, and post production. Here’s the link again. I recommend starting with pre-production and reading in order.

The guy has a great story and a fantastic way of living his life. If you want to know how movies really get made, how distribution works, how Brandon Lee died, how to raise $300,000, how to be a better salesman, how to get an agent, and how to hire a name actor without any money… READ THIS!!!

Just remember one thing – “It is a mistake to doubt me.”

Here’s a link to the trailer for a short film that I helped shoot recently. I look forward to seeing the finished product!

The film is short and designed to be fun. But it has also been a great learning experience as we move to bigger projects.

If you like this film, look out for more work from Cinematic Bebop Productions.

Let me know what you think!

Fairview Street

I just had the pleasure of meeting Shane Hagedorn, producer of Fairview Street. Fairview Street is a mid-Michigan produced drama that is playing at Celebration Cinema in Lansing, MI. There are 4 showings coming up at 2 pm and 7 pm on both February 15 and 16.

I have seen Fairview Street and also Shane’s first film, The Model Father. I have to say I am impressed. One of the most striking things I noticed about Shane is that he is incredibly grounded in who he is and what he wants to do. He has stories to tell, and he wants to tell them in a way that makes sure he remains true to the characters, but also to himself. He is going to be around for a while, and I am going to support him in his endeavors as he makes more films.

If you’re a music fan, Fairview Street has a fantastic soundtrack. I really enjoyed the film.

Please support these local filmmakers!

After talking with Shane and watching what he and his crew created, I thought of a quote:

What you can do, or dream you can do, begin it!
Boldness has genius, power and magic in it.

If you see the film, come back here and tell us what you thought of it.
