I know we have so many options to watch these days, but we want to share a couple of fun options with local connections.
First, there is this true-crime documentary being released this Friday, August 22nd, on Netflix, The Truth About Jussie Smollett. For the recreations of the “mugging”, the RMP team turned Adams Street between First and Second Avenue into downtown Chicago during a “Polar Vortex”. Here is a link to the trailer. It was such a fun shoot. We also shot all the police office scenes in the studio at First Studio.
Our client RAW TV sent Directer, Gagan Rehill, and DP, Ryan Parker, for the three day shoot. The local cast featured Antonio Berry, Andrew Jones, Tony Crossetti, Aamani Anderson, Tina Dickens, Josh Kontak, Richard Dickenson. The local crew included Shelly Ortiz, Stephen Russell, Christina Felix, Ryan Hart, Hector Primero, Jarrod Wilson, Mark Harrison, Lee Lutsby, Mike Rea, Aeni Domne, Jennifer O’Bannon, Daniel Koneugh, Zack Shisslak, Chuck Morriss, Cris Rankin, Daniel Hagner, Jonathan Hinkley, Patrick Matheson, Nathaniel Burns, Dani Green, and Randy and Theresa Murray.
The second show you may want to watch is a local TV show called The Morning Show hosted by Melissa Farley and Marshall Shore. Both are long time friends and amazing talents. You can catch the show on line and stay connected + , , .
I was a guest on Episode 70 talking about the film industry and Arizona’s film incentive. If you are interested you can see it here, https://onthemorningshow.com/blogs/watch/ep-70-talking-the-arizona-film-industry-with-randy-murray. They also just kicked off season two. Please pass the word about this fun show. Enjoy.
Thanks,
