The film also features some wonderful music by Alex Mendenall, Cyrus and the Jim Shaneberger Band.

What a fantastic night last night at the album release for my dear friend and Michigan songbird. Jen Sygit!
The band sounded great and hearing the entire new album live was really cool.
I was taking photos for Jen and during the intermission she showed the music video Rebel Pictures recently released for her, Love Is Wild.
The response both her new album and the music video were extremely positive.
I then get some great news that the music video was just accepted into it's first film festival and will play at the Experimental, Dance & Music Film Festival in Ontario, Canada!
Congrats to Jen Sygit and my co-editor for the project, Scott Baisden, as well as all the brave people that were in the video. Also, a big thank you to Moriarty's Pub and MI Blue Owl Coffee for allowing us to film in your wonderful establishments.

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!

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.

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.

GREAT NEWS! Rebel Pictures is thrilled to share that our short film, Confidence Of a Tall Man, was just accepted into the Prisma Independent Film Awards in Rome, Italy!
I am so damn proud of this project and everyone involved, especially my lead actor, John DeMarco (Johnny D). He gave a special part of himself in this film and his Father was also a part of it (through a family photo).
Today was the anniversary of his Father's passing and I know he's looking down on us all and is proud of us and especially his son, Johnny.
Films can be so personal to make and for me they are. They include things much deeper than just the almighty dollar.
I pride myself on working with the best and brightest in the state. These films also celebrate and capture the best of Mid-Michigan. Confidence Of a Tall Man is proof positive of this.
If interested in seeing the film, you can order a DVD/CD combo or rent it online at RebelPictures.net!
The film has won 1 award and received 10 other nominations in it's first 6 film festivals!

Incredible news!
We won BEST USE OF PROP out of 50+ teams at the 48 Hour Film Project: Detroit for the Rebel Pictures' film, Foreword!
Congratulations to our cast & crew! We had a great time at Orchid Ferndale.
This was my first 48/5 film competition as a filmmaker/director. I've acted in many over the years and now wanted to slay this tiny dragon.
We received our genre and elements and came up with a kick-ass story, FOREWORD, on the way back from the launch for the 48 Hour Film Project: Detroit.
What we finished with, after a 17+ hour editing session, was a cool little sci-fi/time travel film clocking in at exactly 7 minuntes.
Synopsis: A famous author is struggling to finish his next novel and discovers a postcard he has mailed to himself from the future warning of an upcoming danger.
This marks the 110th award won for a film by Rebel Pictures!
