Some 'before' pictures of the locations we'll be shooting in. These are "Leroux's" death warehouse, & the others are the Detective's offices, interrogation room, the locker room etc...
I just wanted to show you what goes into a location. When you see the final film, these locations will have taken on a totally different look & feel...
Gotta love the magic of the movies!
Some shots from our first read through...
After the "FBI" scene
Executive Producers Willie Galarza & Chris Pascale
Tiana & Pedro get Kristen ready for her 'debut'
**Note the 'logo' on the table, we will say no more...
Chris gets the good jobs! Hardcore Chris, someone had to clean the blood off!.
Fun shoot at 'The Burger Chef". My good friend Dave was nice enough to let us film a scene in his place. Linda Prussen came all the way from LI for the scene and did a nice job!
Linda Prussen as "Shirley the Waitress"
After the big 'arrest' scene! We were lucky enough to have Curtis come down for the shoot & with him he brought a friend that had a 'legit' vehicle that we used and to boot he's a musician and may be doing some work for LF's...
This was a fun shoot, people were slowing down to see the 'arrest' in progress!
Chris & Sal hard at work in making "Captian Tucci's (Catherine Pierce)" scenes look great!
The scene in action!

*On a side note, she was brave enough to get into a real bodybag!!

After shooting the 'crime scene'
A letter from Actor Mark Armstrong regarding his experience on the film...
"Confessions" is in the "Can" & is in Post-Production. The editing is completed and now the final color correction can be completed as well as the audio editing & sound effects. The film is in the process of being shipped off to be scored and the trilogy will be totally done! In the meantime Brian is turning out awesome posters and artwork.
I have to take this time to thank everyone involved, my unbelievable cast who did a great job that exceeded my expectations and my crew who are always there helping me make great films. Thanks guys, can't wait until July when "Final Edition" hits the screen, and this year we expect 150+ at the premiere!

After the shoot is over we make memories with our actors & crew!
Everyone, eat this chocolate!
Seriously, we'd like to thank the owners of Superior Confections for letting us use their facilities during production. We never would have gotten the 'look' we achieved at this location. And yes, the chocolate is good!
The Producer even worked on the props, I'll tell ya, indie filmmaking! (L)
