Script Frenzy 2010

0 comments Published Sunday, March 28, 2010 by C. Phillips.

I am going to participate in this year's Script Frenzy. Anyone can do it so check out the site! It's free and going to be a lot of fun. Basically it's writing a 100+ page script in the whole month of April. :-) I've been lucky enough to find, she really found me, a writing partner Kelly Johnson.(Heat On The Street) So by the end of April we'll have a feature film length script done! A good writing exercise in creativity. I'll try and post and keep this blog updated through out the month of April.

2010 Harold Lloyd Birthday Bash

0 comments Published Wednesday, February 17, 2010 by C. Phillips.

Harold Lloyd was a one of the biggest silent & talkie comedians from the 1910's-1940's. He made well over 200 films in his film career.
Harold didn't stop there he went on to pursue many hobbies and to become Imperial Potentate of the Shriners of North America(1949-1950). People all over the world still love and adore his characters he created on screen. Come celebrate Harold's birthday, life and movies with us at his childhood home(corner of 4th & Pawnee St) in Burchard, NE on May 1st starting at 4pm.
Our main film showing this year will be "THE KID BROTHER" from 1927. Our bash will be themed around this movie.

The events of the day include...
-Touring Harold's childhood home. ($2 a person)
-Trivia games for both children and adults. Prizes given to the one who knows the most!
-"Kid Brother" Scavenger Hunt. Can you find all of Harold's glasses around town?
-Supper time! Have a hot dog, chips and a drink. Don't forget a piece of Harold's Birthday Cake!
-Movie time! At dusk, we will set up a 16mm projector and show "THE KID BROTHER" on the side of Harold's house. Free Popcorn for everyone!
There's much more we have planned but those are some of the key events of the day. All the money made at this event will go back into the upkeep of Harold's house.

This year's event is possible because of the generous donations from the Pawnee County Promotional Network, The Harold Lloyd Foundation of Burchard, NE and fans like you that have given!
We welcome any and all donations! As an example, DHP Designs' head graphic artist volunteered his time and talent so we could have a great logo for the 2010 Bash. So it doesn't have to be a money donation, use your talent for Harold!

Can't make it to the Bash but still want something cool to remember it by and still help with our fundraiser? Just head on over to our NEW Harold Lloyd Birthday Bash Merchandise Store!!

Day 3 of filming

Day 3 of shooting on the comedy pilot was fun! We had Charla Phillips Roller and Carlea Stafford back on set today for filming. Plus Kathy Phillips made her acting debut as well in a fun bit cameo role. Below are photos from the 3rd day of shooting. It looks like one more day of filming is needed and then we'll be wrapped on this movie. Enjoy the photos!

Day 2 of filming

0 comments Published Tuesday, July 28, 2009 by C. Phillips.

We are continuing to shoot on our new comedy film. We were joined yesterday by Rachel Riley, (which I last worked with on Spaghetti Noon) & Michael Reiser (who I last worked with on Swindling Charade). It was fun being around and working with these two again. We shot a scene that takes place in a coffee shop. A few weeks ago I posted that DELISH:Bakery and Coffee Shoppe was kind enough to allow us to come in and shoot. It went great! Plus they got great coffee and danishes that we had after we wrapped filming.

Just goofing around! :P
