Rebel Pictures  is proud to share that our short film, Deadbolt, was selected and played at the recent   Hollywood Verge Film Awards! This was it's very last film festival submission. I actually had entered it at the beginning of last year and didn't realize the date went into 2021. Either way it's a wonderful send-off to the film.

This gritty noir crime drama has done so well so far on the festival circuit and I couldn't be happier for my wonderful cast & crew. It won 11 awards, received 29 other nominations, and was accepted into 25 film festivals!

It’s available on the RP Shorts Vol. 2 DVD at REBELPICTURES.NET and can now be rented in our ONLINE RENTALS section as well as at this link:   Deadbolt Rental

"An excellent film! Suspense, gritty drama, humor, it had it all. Reminiscent of a classic from another era. I’m really glad I got to see this."

Jones Soda lovers! Check out this cool contest that I have a photo in!

The photo is of my Father, William C. McCallum, and Scooter during a pre-production/location scouting day for the Rebel Pictures film, Buffalo.

Something really special about this photo is that our baby boy, Scooter, is no longer with us. At the beginning of this year he crossed the rainbow bridge, but he's always in my Pop's and my heart. He was truly an angel and my best friend. I cherish that time we had together.

The other cool thing is that this photo was taken in front of a mural that our dear friend, Gary Glenn, painted that was on the side of his sign shop. He passed in 2013 and that mural is gone now.

If you like the photo please vote for it and share and maybe just maybe it will be chosen to be on a bottle of Jones Soda.

#PickUpLansing is a campaign started by my good friend Omar Karim and myself to help pick up the Lansing area.

We both noticed, on our separate daily walks, that there was a lot of trash and garbage around. We are hoping to get folks out every week to do a walk and pick up and to take photos and videos of the progress and to share those on social media. 

Our goal to clean up the area and have some sense of community and love for Lansing. It would be great if this campaign spread to other areas and cities as well, but it starts here on Aug. 8th, 12noon-2pm, at the   Michigan State Capitol. 

Please share this event page and lets get a big group to help pick up our city!

​Good news and bad news. I wasn't even going to share this because sadly the   Open Projector Night   at the   UICA    is cancelled. It has been for some time, but I still wanted to share that the    Rebel Pictures' comedy, The Pewter Bros., WAS accepted into this.

I'm really bummed because it would have been the first time a RP film would have played there. This short comedy was originally made the   Capital City Film Festival's Fortnight Film Contest. 

Overall it is still a positive that it was even selected. I hope and pray this doesn't become the new normal for us filmmakers and artists and movie lovers. 

Stay strong and stay safe and keep creating and supporting your local artists.

As I head on the road to finally do some editing I'm hanging on to that good feeling from this past weekend.


This past weekend Rebel Pictures created a film for the 48 Hour Global Film Challenge. We made a really cool dark piece called, Photalgia.

I really can't thank my team enough for their creativity and positivity. I consider each one a dear friend and to collaborate with them especially during all this chaos in our world was a much needed oasis.

I wanted to share our first poster for this film, which stars my Father, William C. McCallum, Wulf Hogan, Bobbi Newman and myself. I had a great cast to work with.
We are waiting to hear responses from the judges and look forward to submitting the film to festivals after.

I want to give a special thanks to those listed above for their talent and support and Eric Shalayko for his patience, ability and easy-going nature through this wild ride of movie-making. I also want to thank Kristian Bringedahl for making this project sound so damn good with his sound editing skills. I have to give some love to Andrew D. Sandstedt and Cedar Street Art Collective for such a great location to meet, writer and film this dark tale. (The air conditioning saved us.)
​

Stay tuned, stay safe and stay creative my friends.​

Yesterday was a day of rest and refocusing. Rebel Pictures made another really cool project and fought the odds with all the current things going on to get it made.

I can't thank my team, who are all dear friends as well, enough for their creativity and positivity.

Some bts stills and a poster for this 48 Hour Global Film Challenge will be posted soon.

It was so nice to create again with a talented team and focus on something other than all the chaos going on. A break was needed even if it was only 48 hours long.

I'm happy today. I haven't been able to say that very often lately.

I'm holding on to this feeling.

Stay safe and stay creative my friends.

Happy Halloween everyone! GREAT NEWS! Rebel Pictures is excited to share that Breaking Wheel was Nominated for the prestigious JEAN LUC GODARD AWARD for Best Horror/Science Fiction/Genre at the Cult Critic Movie Awards in Kolkata, India!

Congrats to my wonderful cast on crew on this cool dark sci-fi film originally made for the Capital City Film Festival’s Fortnight Film Contest where it won the AUDIENCE CHOICE AWARD! Danica O'Neill and Richard Barnes give dynamic emotional performances. Kristian Bringedahlcaptures the sound wonderfully as usual. Scott Baisden does double duty like no other behind the camera and in the editing room showing his talent has no bounds. Anne C. Cope does wonders with make up and continually (for these dark stories) makes the actors look awful. :)

Lastly, I couldn't do any of this without the love and support of my Pops and best friend, William C. McCallum.

I couldn’t be more proud of everyone involved and will get shit for not mentioning every single person individually, but I am proud of them all.

It’s done extremely we’ll on the film festival circuit since it’s release. It’s crazy how things change and people pass, buildings are torn down and people move on, but these projects stay in stone.
​

I am looking to set up a showing this time next year with all of these dark shorts from RP.

​I’m a day behind, but wanted to share that Rebel Pictures is honored to share that our music video for talented Michigan songbird, Jen Sygit, Love Is Wild was accepted and played yesterday at the Austin Micro Short Film Festival 2019 at the Alamo Drafthouse Cinema in Austin, TX!
​
Congrats to Jen and my team that helped with this moving project. I can’t thank Scott Baisden enough for his talent and skills with shooting and cutting and Michael Robertson for recording Jen’s live sound so perfectly. My heart goes out to all of the wonderful people IN the video that showed their love and vulnerability to the world.

It’s a beautiful message. We need more of that right now. More than ever it seems.
Please support Jen and this music video. Check it out and her work. See her live. It’s an incredible experience.
