Fan Film Podcast Episode 63

YO JOE! I mean YO SCOTT! I’m talking Scott Grass from Forsaken Filmz who has brought us the G.I. Joe fan film "End Of Peace". G.I. Joe is not a property you normally see in the world of fan films due the extensive cast of characters, intricate costuming, and potential for costly special effects. But if there’s one thing fan film makers can do is stretch the imagination to make the inconceivable conceivable. Scott and his crew have juggled what could potentially be a disastrous production into a cool film that holds the heart and integrity to what the die hard G.I. Joe fans would expect from such a project.

As all members of the fan film making community can imagine it’s not always easy making a final production, to actually get it out there for all to see. Scott talks candidly about the trials and disappointments in took to get "End of Peace" to eventually see the light of day. And Forsaken Filmz is not a one trick pony. Oh no! As the normal genesis of the people that make these fan films they progress into their own original projects in this case Forsaken’s "Thou Shall Kill".

So DUSTY yourself off. Get ready to get all GUNG HO! Grab yourself some BARBEQUE and some BAZOOKA bubble gum. Turn off the LAW and ORDER. Move into a room with LOW LIGHT. Get all FOOTLOOSE. Prepare to ROCK 'N ROLL ! And join us for some CHUCKLES only on the Fan Film Podcast.

So Fanboy Will tells me of this fan film called X-23 Terrell Culbert. What the hell is an X-23? More importantly what the hell is a Terrell Culbert? Using my keen research skills I turn to the inter oracle known as THE GOOGLE.

A top-secret program is tasked to replicate the original Weapon X experiment that produced the feral mutant Wolverine. The Y chromosome from the only genetic sample from Weapon X is unable to be salvaged. So a female clone is proposed in the form of X-23. X-23 was created for the X-Men: Evolution animated television series and later brought into the comics pretty much how Harley Quinn from the Batman mythos did a decade or more ago.

OK! That answers that. Now who is this Culbert guy? The oracle tells us Terrell is a prolific talent who writes, draws, and makes fan films. I mean, if he didn’t make fan films I wouldn’t even be writing this, but I digress. Terrell runs his own imprint and productions under the label Breathe Again Entertainment. Along with his "X" related fan film his original character sEVE is being produced in comic book form and soon to the visual realm of film.

Also in this Fan Film Podcast, Fanboy Will sums up our feelings and thoughts beautifully on the passing of Andrew Koenig who took his own life this past week. Most of you may know Andrew from his portrayal of the Joker in Sandy Collora’s Batman: Dead End. Although, certainly not an embodiment of his entire life of work, this is a performance that will have a special place here in the confines of the Fan Film Podcast. R.I.P. Andrew.

Welcome back to the FFP. We kick off our first show of 2010 with not one, but two interviews. Our first guest is Tim Brown representing Inked Monkey Productions talks briefly and answers a few questions about the third annual Superman Celebration Fan Film Competition held in Metropolis, Illinois. We’ve asked Tim back on our Podcast in June when he’ll give us a play by play of the happenings of the competition as well as the entire Superman Celebration as a whole. You can learn more about the competition, rules, and prizes by linking HERE.

For our second guest we bring you a man who calls himself Clutch! YEPPER! Just Clutch. He's the writer and director behind the unique Star Wars fan film Makazie One. In my opinion and I’ll also speak for Fanboy Will the best two Star Wars Fan Films released in the year 2009 are by far Crossroads of Destiny and Makazie One. These films clearly show that the combination of talent, technology, and simple love for the universe which these characters are based is shrinking the gap to what we see Lucasfilm release compared to what we can make with our own ingenuity. What Clutch has done with Makazie One is put his own staple onto the Star Wars mythos incorporating a different style and mood to the franchise not yet seen before. The results? AMAZING! Make sure to check out the official Makazie One website.

Clutch also discusses his original science fiction project, The Butterfly Chronicles.

Fanboy Will attended the 2009 Big Apple Comic Convention most specifically a panel that was supposed to include The Dukes of Hazzard stars Catherine Bach, Tom Wopat, and John Schneider. It turned out the only one able to attend due to various reasons was John Schneider. He did not disappoint as he talked very candidly about both Hazzard and his other SUPER acting gig on Smallville.

IN TWO WEEKS OR WHAT IS TO COME! I honestly don’t know. We’ve been in contact with Amber Moelter from Catwoman Copycat and Catwoman Resolution. It’s just a matter of nailing down a time out of her busy schedule. We’ve also been attempting to get Robert Chapin on the podcast to talk about his original property The Hunted. Again, he’s crazy busy, but they’ll both be on at some point.

I’d also like to mention Fanboy Will and I have both been hard at work on our respective sites. While Will’s Fanboy Theatre is being revamped you can visit his brand, spanking new BLOG. I’ve finally started my own site after writing for others all these years. With this podcast post I officially announce the opening of the new Fan Film Follies. Queue cheers, fireworks, and balloons. I must mention the title logo was created by fan film posterboy Jeff Hayes. Thanks, Jeff!

I'm not sure if we'll have further shows for 2009. I don't have to tell you how busy this time of year is. BUT! We WILL be back in 2010. Hope to see you then.

Fan Film Podcast Episode 59

Download this episode (42 min)
This week we’ve got two – two shows in one. The first half of this week’s show we speak to Kellen Gibbs and George Norman Lippert about the Harry Potter themed fan film production “James Potter and the Hall of Elders’ Crossing”. There’s an interesting spin on how this film came about. George wrote a full length fan fiction novel continuing the series originally created by J. K. Rowling. Kellen, in turn, found the story online visualizing George’s writing into a short film. On Saturday, November 21st that film will be put online for the world to see.

The second half of this week’s show we’ll talk to Fanboy Will about his experiences at this year’s Big Apple Comic Convention that was held October 16th through the 18th. He was able to briefly speak with Supergirl’s Helen Slater and Smallville’s John Schneider.

IN TWO WEEKS: We’ll have audio from John Schneider’s panel from the Big Apple Comic Convention. It should be a treat for Dukes of Hazard and Smallville fans alike.
