GREAT NEWS! Rebel Pictures is proud to share that our short film, Off-Key, received a Nomination for BEST FILM NOIR & NEO NOIR at The Dark Fest in Antioch, CA!

This neo noir short was originally made for the 48 Hour Film Project: Detroit and it's done well at festivals since. It's one of the last RP films my Pop was a part of. I wish there were so many more. So many more. He helped sculpt this cool little dark tale and I'm forever thankful and grateful for his involvement. 💔

GREAT NEWS! Rebel Pictures is happy to share that our newest sci-fi film, Reverb, is accepted into The Monkey Bread Tree Film Awards in London!

Congrats to my creative team on this cool film and a special thanks to Scott Baisden for his patience and incredible talent. ❤️ 🎬

The pandemic and the passing of my Pops made this a much longer project to finish than intended, but it's done now and getting out in the world. A local showing will happen down the road.

Hello everyone! My Pop's car show event is coming up fast (June 21st). I'm asking for help with the event insurance, flyers, and our hand made original trophies for this free event in downtown Lansing.

Please share and help anyway you can. I just want to keep his memory alive with something he loved; classic cars and great tunes!

I used to get this magazine JUST for this section.

This one from the late great Robert Duvall is terrific. ❤️ 🎬

What do you think? Would any of these great movies be made nowadays?

Some brilliant and bonkers films from 1976 that couldn't be made today, 50 years later.
