The Mean Green

In every great Canwell Film there is going to be scenes that don't quite make the cut. Over Spring Break I was in Fairmont, B.C. and filmed one of these types of scenes. It was a commercial for The Mean Green, a device created by Johannes Fackenthall. It's not that the device was lacking. And it wasn't the actors; in fact we had a star-studded cast including Devin, myself, and my sister and brother-in-law Chelane & Johannes. No, it had to do with the lack of planning, no tripod, bad lighting, and in-camera editing. Yes, it might make the extras on the DVD, but not the movie. Canwell Films has a name to uphold, and by golly it's going to uphold it with style!

Animal Crackers

Here are screenshots from our first day of shooting on Sunday. I was privileged enough to recruit the acting abilities of Aaron Vizcarra, flown in from Southern...and Tori Shelton, fresh off the stage of The One Acts. This is a scene reminiscent of the animal crackers scene from Armegeddon...only a little bit less scandolous. I was able to talk Aaron into an onscreen kiss. I didn't post any pictures of the kiss, so you'll just have to wait and see the movie!

Channel 27

Shooting is underway for our next movie, "Channel 27." A brief synopsis is as follows: A college student is faced with a tough decision...watch the season finale of his favorite T.V. show, The C.P., or go on a date with his girlfriend? While contemplating the decision, he flips through different T.V. shows such as: a tennis match, a soap opera, a cooking show, a movie, a music video, a sci-fi show, and more. Will he decide to spend quality time with his girlfriend or does T.V. have a death grip on his life?

This being a 3 Bachelor's Production I will have the help of Phillip Sherwood and Andrew Wyman. We have had some debate over if Phillip still qualifies as a bachelor even though he's dating Anika Clark, but considering he still sleeps on a mat on the floor in my room, we will consider him a bachelor. "Channel 27" will premier in late May.
