The
very first film project that got off the ground for RavensFilm
Productions centered around a syndicate hitman who is betrayed by
his own people and left for dead only to survive to exact vengeance
on everyone responsible. Assembling an array of actors with a
spectrum of experience levels, lead off by a very committed and
talented actor as the wronged hitter Vance Derricks, the digital
video short started off promisingly, but fell into many production
issues after a few weeks. Between being unable to secure key
locations and having issues with behind the scenes personnel as well
as being up against an ultimate deadline of losing our lead actor,
everything quickly fell apart.
While the footage has nostalgic and sentimental value to myself, it
certainly is very run n' gun low grade stuff that did have some
energizing talent in front of the camera. However, my inexperience
at the time didn't lend to the best technical or artistic qualitites
being exercised. Yet, the experienced gained was needed in order to
grow and develop myself forward towards my next project The
Fixer. You can view select footage in the 2013 promotion reel
for RavensFilm Productions.
