FREEZER GEEZERS IS COMING!! Check out our hastily put together film trailer!
I am now back in Detroit after living at the US Embassy in Baghdad for about 15 months working the production of the Saddam Hussein Trials. Kinda learned that career and work isn't as important as living and having a personal life with friends and family. I was an idiot for too many years and trying to make up for it now.
Life for me is the balancing and juggling of friends and family, film projects... and laundry. Anyway, I don't matter, but my films do...
WHATANTICS PRODUCTIONS is what keeps me off the street and out of trouble. My projects are kind of important to me. Let's take a look!
Watch our award-winning short film WHIPPERSNAPPER! 'FREEZER GEEZERS' follows 83 year old coach Ray Tuller and his team - Millenium 75's - from Springfield, MA, as they challenge three other teams from around the world competing in the world's oldest age division, 75 and over, in the annual Snoopy’s Senior World Hockey Tournament created by beloved artist Charles Schulz in Santa Rosa, California. The story is sometimes hilarious and sentimental, but always inspiring. It is like Cocoon meets The Mighty Ducks… meets The Bad News Bears meets Grumpy Old Men!
The film runs 1 hour and 25 minutes.
The film stars the most world's oldest inspirational, hockey-playing, 75-year-old-men from all over the United States, Canada and Japan.
'BE FUNNY' is a brutally honest documentary that follows Mike Green and a number of Detroit-area comedians across the country as they continue to keep working while struggling to hold on to their dreams, their families and their jobs. This powerful examination into the mind of the comic is a story told through real-life examples by the men and women who battle conflict with past and present drama who choose instead of unraveling into personal chaos, turn their darkness into material to entertain through stand-up comedy.
The film stars comics MIKE GREEN, MARK RIDLEY, and HORACE H.B. SANDERS. Co-starring Chrissy Burns, Johnny Ginger, Gilda Hauser, Joe Johnson, Brendon Lemon, Tim Lilly, J. Chris Newberg and Marv Strait.
JAMES DEAN: BORN COOL, the first documentary film on the life of James Dean executive produced by Marcus Winslow, Dean's cousin and head of the Dean Estate features a wealth of never-before-seen photos, offers insights and anecdotes by those who knew Jimmy best, his friends and family.This two-disc DVD, produced by Whatantics Productions and Flim Flam Film, is absolutely loaded with extra features. OVER 6 HOURS OF BONUS MATERIAL!
Fans will be able to see for the first time the complete raw footage of James Dean's home movies with commentary by Dean's cousin, Marcus Winslow. Also included is the complete raw footage of home movies by an extra on the set of Dean's first film East of Eden with commentary by famed Dean collector Marlin Wilson.
Fans will also be able to view three separate video tours! Marcus Winslow gives a tour around the farm house James Dean grew up on and also of the Fairmount Historical Museum that houses the family's extensive collection of Dean Artifacts. The second tour is by legendary Dean Historian David Loerh who gives a tour of his brand new (and now closed) James Dean Gallery Museum. Third is a driving tour of James Dean's hometown of Fairmount, Indiana showing all the key Dean locations hosted by Phil Zeigler.
This DVD also contains hundreds of photos of James Dean, many never seen before, set to music by recording artists such as Tricia Concepcion, Makkafroi, A Thousand Times Yes, The Resonators and Nick Moretti. Included in this is a complete tour of James Dean's yearbooks including page-by-page scans of Dean's Senior yearbook.
JAMES DEAN: BORN COOL has the most comprehensive filmography, quotes collection, timeline, and interactive trivia. It has two separate audio commentaries by the filmmakers and Marcus Winslow, deleted scenes and MUCH, MUCH more!
Actually, to be honest, unless you're a really big James Dean fan, you may be bored. It is put together well, but it is such a specific perspective of his life which may not be for everyone. However, I recommend buying it for the bonus disc. So think of it as buying it for the bonus material and getting the documentary for free. Man, I am such a bad salesman! On the plus side, quite a few people around the world actually claim it to be their favorite out of all the James Dean documentaries out there... go figure!
...and our failed project: Being Custer. One day it will still be shot!
