I had some unfortunate recent car issues (always with perfect timing) that cleaned out what money I had set aside to attend the Bare Bones International Independent Film & Music Festival in Oklahoma at the end of this month.
Rebel Pictures has 4 projects accepted into it this year, which is also their 20th Anniversary! I won BEST DIRECTOR at this festival for Fairview St. and many other RP projects have received nominations and awards at Bare Bones Film Festival.
So this is one of those that I really need to be in attendance. It's at the end of this month, so time is of the essence.

GREAT NEWS! I'm beyond proud to share my NEW solo radio show, The Magic Hour with Michael McCallum!
This show is brought to you through the Michigan Business Network, like Show Biz Weekly with Taylor Kelsaw was.
I had a wonderful 2 1/2 years as official co-host for SBW and hope to be a part of it again. Taylor Kelsaw gave me a great opportunity and I'm forever thankful for that.
When he moved to Arizona this past summer, Jeffrey C. Mosher reached out to me and asked if I'd like to start my own show. It's taken some time with schedules and getting things in place, but I couldn't be more excited and honored to do this.
The Magic Hour with Michael McCallum is a film/photography reference, "the period of daytime shortly after sunrise or before sunset, during which daylight is redder and softer than when the Sun is higher in the sky."
This show will cover Movies, Arts, Government, Independents and Community!
Our first episode is up on SoundCloud and can be listened to NOW! My Father/rock/best friend, William C. McCallum, is my first guest. Check it out, share and support this NEW positive endeavor.
Thank you to Jeffrey C. Mosher, Michael J Steibel, Chris Holman and everyone at the Michigan Business Network for the opportunity.
Our incredible theme song, "Sinking Ship", is by my long time friend and collaborator, Jen Sygit. It is off of her NEW album, It's About Time. Look her up on iTunes and her music is also available on her site: jensygit.com
I also want to thank my sponsors: 517 Living, River City Studios, Ltd., Bad Trip Designs, Rebel Pictures, Blue Heaven Pictures, The Robin Theatreand META Collective! Support these wonderful Michigan businesses.
Episode #1
The show can be found at both:

I'm so excited to share that the GRFF 36 Hour Film Challenge!, through the Grand Rapids Film Festival, is launching TOMORROW!
As the NEW Director for this event I'm looking forward to bringing my own experience as a filmmaker for almost 20 years and also a filmmaker that has recently made 4 competition films in the last year, that are all multi award-winning. This is a challenge where teams will have to use common elements and write, shoot, edit, and deliver a film in only 36 hours. Up for the challenge? Sign up and create something wonderful to share. We will be holding BOTH the launch event (Feb. 8th) & the showing/after party (Feb. 22nd) at the famed Wealthy Theatre in Grand Rapids! https://filmfreeway.com/36HourFilmChallenge *Logo design by Scott Baisden. #36HourFilmChallenge #NEWDirector #GRFF #WealthyTheatre#FilmFreeway #BridgingtheGapInMichigan |

GREAT NEWS! Rebel Pictures is honored to share that we've made a NEW music video for talented singer/songwriter, Jen Sygit!
Love Is Wild is also featured on her new album It's About Time, but this music video is a LIVE performance of that song featuring a bunch of beautiful Mid-Michigan friends and couples showcasing the only thing we really need...Love.
Her pre-release cd party will be at Wheatland Music Organization this weekend and then the formal release is at the Ten Pound Fiddle Concerts and Dances, Fri. Oct. 12th!
I've known and had the privilege of working with Jen for many years now. From my first feature film Fairview St. to Two For the Show, she and her music have been an important part of my work and life. Jen and one of her powerhouse bands, The Lincoln County Process had music in my last feature film, Buffalo, and RP also made a music video for her song, One Thing. Each time it's something magical and special and memorable. This time is no exception.
Love Is Wild is an important song with a much needed message at this current time. I'm honored to share it with the world now.
Enjoy, share and leave a comment!

Thank you to everyone that came out to support the Renegade Theatre Festival!
I directed a powerful one-act show, Buzzkill, that was written by Rollin Jewett and starred the talents of Michael Boxleitner, Omar Karim and Scott Baisden. I can't thank my actors enough for giving me everything and making our show memorable.
We only had 3 rehearsals to put this show up and I thank Kathryn Willis and The Downeaster Theatre for allowing us to rehearse last second when our previous location fell through. She and the DET are lifesavers.
I want to thank Paige Dunckel for again having faith in me to direct some live theatre and a be a part of this cool event. I look forward to next year's.
Also, the first ever Renegade Ruckus shows were put on at META Collectiveand a big shout out to friends, Trisha Wilcox and Greg Zivic, for allowing these shows to go on in their awesome space. They were so much fun and I tip my hat to all those directors and actors. You all have pairs of brass between your legs.
Until next year!

INCREDIBLE NEWS! Rebel Pictures is proud to share that our short film, Breaking Wheel, was just accepted into the International Shorts Film Festival in Victoria, Australia!
This marks it's 8th film festival and the 300th Festival Acceptance for a RP project!
Breaking Wheel was originally made for the Capital City Film Festival's Fortnight Contest where it won the Audience Choice Award!
Congrats to my cast & crew and every one that has worked on the previous RP projects. It's a huge accomplishment and I couldn't have done it without your time, talent and love. I've enjoyed working with all of these collaborators over the years, but none more so than my Pops, William C. McCallum. I owe him everything.
I've been making films since 1999 and released my first RP feature film, Fairview St., in 2009. Since then my films have been accepted into 300 film festivals all over the world. These films have won an astounding 126 awards & received 127 other nominations.
I'm growing, changing and striving to always be better. I make mistakes, but only new ones.
Check out some of this award-winning work at REBELPICTURES.NET!
Thanks for supporting me on this journey. I'm just getting started. Stay tuned.

As a few of you know Rebel Pictures participated in the 48 Hour Film Project: Detroit last year, where we created a cool sci-fi short, Foreword.
The film has done extremely well on the festival circuit and this year I decided to get as much of that same team back to make another one.
We did that this past weekend.
We created a dark little tale, that I'm keeping under wraps until it's showing later this month.
In the past I had acted in and co-produced many of these competition films. I never really felt the want or need to make one myself until earlier last year. I had acted in 2 back to back that I just wasn't very happy with how the films turned out or the management of time. Those experiences were the catalysts for me to want to throw my hat in the ring as they say.
Earlier this year RP also made a film for Capital City Film Festival's Fortnight Film Contest. Some of the same people from Foreword were brought abaord and we created another dark sci-fi gem with Breaking Wheel.
I couldn't be more proud of my team this past weekend. We are reminded on these challenges of why we truly do IT.
It's about collaborating, friendship, creating something that would never be created if not for this specific event and capturing lighting in a bottle when you have such intensly creative people around giving it their all and giving it their all with NO ego and solely for the greater good of the project at hand.
It's magic. These people are magicians and I'm honored to lead this talented group.

Friends, I am gearing up to participate in another 48 Hour Film Project: Detroit.
The first one I directed/produced, Foreword, has done extremely well on the film festival circuit.
Know I might reach out to some of you to help with props/locations, etc.
If you have a cool spot that you think I should use or want to help, let me know.
I get asked and challenged a lot about making money doing movies. It is about the love, not the money. There are many things that are more stable and lucrative than film.
I've worked with and collaborated with a few in the past that misused and abused our friendship and collaboration.
It was only about themselves and the $, not the work.
It's nice, but not the only reason for doing it.
