Southside Security Patrol: Short Film

So here it is yes, finally finished the film…..yayyyyy…the poster for the film can use some work, but sometimes simple is smart. Sometimes weird is different. Well here’s the basic premise of the film…..some security guards run into daily troubles while securing the perimeter of a building…this film was made to see how this story would look on film and what not…..there’s more coming from this story but not pulling all my hats out of the bag as yet…as any good card player never does…..but for now..enjoy this short film…clip….and thanks again all who actually came thru and made this happen.

 

Here’s the link to the film and trailer…………

Aaron did a wonderful job on set and was pretty creative with his wordplay and coming up with conversation on the spot. I thought he did an outstanding job. Aaron also works as a stand-up comic in addition to acting. We know we’ll see him on the big screen. A.J. is pretty funny, if you have ever worked security you always have that one guy who takes his job way to serious, A.J. is that guy.

Amanda Martin…….as Savannah

Amanda was a sweetheart to work with. Her and Aaron made great partners and were truly a dynamic duo. Amanda was the A.J.’s partner in the film. If you ever noticed someone who is always doing too much on the job or taking things really serious? They usually have a partner who supports and backs them up in whatever they do. So Amanda held her own and backed up A.J. Amanda was very manageable as well.

Armond Edward Dorsey……..as Marcus

Armond was great to work with…Armond brought Marcus to life. Sometimes…I thought to myself is this Marcus or Armond..he just naturally did stuff that Marcus would do..great personality…and forgiving…as we started kind of late after a few setbacks…but the show must go on. Armond was Marcus the guy who’s lazy and doesn’t really do much. Many of us know people like this on any job from IT to bodybuilding….so check Armond’s bio here.

Gemma Alfaro….as Janet

Gemma played Janet in Southside Security Patrol. Gemma was pretty funny and the lines that she came up with in this unscripted comedy was pretty funny. Gemma brought Janet to life and stood her own as well as partnered well with Marcus…..but on any job just like the hard working person has an ally the lazy person has the same ally. Janet and Marcus like to hang out and hardwork is a foreign concept to them. Gemma was very easy to work with and she was very Coachable as well. Thanks again. Gemma.

D’Andre Johnson….as Dacian Banks.

Dandre was and is a very talented actor. Dandre was supposed to be a member of the cast but things changed last minute and Dandre was chosen as the villain. So it worked really well…and he quickly switched roles from being apart of the group to being a villain. Dandre was a very formidable villain for the guards of Southside Security Patrol…so I guess you’ll have to check it out to see what happened. Thanks again Dandre for being so flexible.

Comedy Writing for Screen Writers

This is a great article that I found online about Comedy writing. I always wondered how some of the actors were so funny. Then I realized that the writers have written a lot of the material that the actors and actresses deliver. So hence the new study of writing and learning how to make common things funny. Enjoy.

So finally made the second short Film called, “Silly Sharkeisha Gets Lost in the Valley of Hope” is a short film about a girl named “Sharkeisha who is on a trip traveling through the land of Hope to find the pot of gold. But they run into mean people. LOL. The basic underlying premise is open to interpretation as there are many. Here is the cast: Sharkeisha Tina Renee Tina played Sharkeisha for the fill and did a wonderful job. She was very funny and just as silly as the role requested. She is very easy to work with and follows thru with what she says. I was late to filming and she and everyone were really understanding. Tina played an excellent Silly Sharkeisha looking forward to working with her again in the future. Here’s a link to Tina’s backstage page and her bio. https://www.backstage.com/actresstinarenee/

Tina Renee, an Arkansas native moved to California at the age of 13. Her parents immediately took note of her one and only dream of becoming an actress and immediately placed her in various acting workshops and classes. Tina has stared and co-starred in three independent films and has hosted several radio and web programming segments. Tina’s advise to anyone following their wildest dreams is this: When life hands you lemons, make some of the best chocolate milk anyone has ever tasted then leave the onlookers puzzled wondering how you did it *wink*

God Bless

Tina Renee…The Doll

make that dream come true”

Amber      Tiffany Kieu Tiffany played Amber. Amber was the guiding force that was supposed to help Sharkeisha along the way because she just happens to get lost at different times. Tiffany was very modest and played her role effortlessly. I look forward to working with Tiffany in the future as she was very humble and a pleasure to work with. Until her bio posts her is a link to her backstage page. https://www.backstage.com/Tiffany_Kieu/ Bio Tiffany Kieu is a 24 year old Vietnamese American originally from Irvine, Ca. She self-prescribed Drama class in 7th grade to overcome her fear of public speaking, and not only that, but also discovered her passion for acting. This passion sat latent in the following years as she turned her focus to getting her bachelor’s in Biology from UC Irvine. Upon graduating in 2011, Tiffany reconnected with her love for acting and fully committed to pursuing her dreams. She packed up and moved to Silverlake, emerging herself in all that LA and acting the world had to offer. She began studying the craft with Eric Morris (from whom she continues to learn) Scott Sedita, Jack Stehlin and Alfred Molina, while actively auditioning and filming as often as possible. Her latest achievement was playing the lead role in the indie psychological horror film, “The Purgation”. When she isn’t acting, Tiffany explores modeling and helps behind the camera as a production team member.

Wiccard the Wallow/Franswa the Dreamer           Waleed Hussain                   Waleed was very energetic and jumped right into his role of being Wiccard the Wallow and Franswa the dreamer. Waleed has a lot of energy and is very quick on his fight. As most of the dialogue was improvised and he flowed from scene to scene. I really look forward to working with Waleed in the future as well. Here’s a link to his backstage page and his bio. https://www.backstage.com/waleedhussain/

Yummy The Eater            Prince Tez/Dontez Sharpley                  Dontez has a very warming smile and friendly personality. He makes you feel as if you’ve known him for years. He is very approachable and manageable. Some of the lines that Dontez came up with during the filming were really funny. The costume design covered up Dontez’s face for most all of the shoots but he still was motivated to finish the film which I take my hat off to him for. He is a great all around guy and I look forward to working with him in the future. Here’s a link to his bio and backstage page. https://www.backstage.com/dontezsharpley/
