THE CRUSADER
By E.C. McMullen Jr.
Feo Amante alumni, Kelly Parks wrote the webseries, THE CRUSADER, back in 2008. Then he directed it in the Spring of 2009. I worked as Art Director and acted as "Rodney".
Now Kelly has re-edited the webseries into a single 30 minute short film.
This is not Horror, Thriller, Mystery, or Suspense. It is what a couple of Horror Thriller guys can do when they turn their sights to comedy.
Continued at Feo Amante/ Crusader.
AND
MINE GAMES
By E.C. McMullen Jr.
In 2011 I worked as Head Production Designer on the Horror Thriller movie, MINE GAMES. MINE GAMES is an Australian independent movie venture directed by Richard Gray, who made his first appearance to American audiences as a contestent on Ben Affleck and Matt Damon's Project Greenlight.
MINE GAMES stars Brianna Evigan (THE DEVIL's CARNIVAL), Julianna Guill (THE APPARITION), Rafi Gavron (SNITCH), Ethan Peck (IN TIME), and Alex Meraz (THE TWILIGHT SAGA).
Release in Australia in 2012, MINE GAMES now has distribution in the UK.
I still haven't seen it, and I'm looking forward to how my work translated from the page to real stages. But... I'll have to wait for the U.S. release.

You thought it wouldn't happen, but ...
Youree Dell Harris aka Miss Cleo from the early 2000s Psychic Hotline TV ads, is back. This time as Miss Cleo VEVO.
