On the comic/graphic novel side, we are working with an amazing artist Mr. Adriano “Andy” Carreon who has done some awesome concept art for us and even a Vigilante Project poster.
We met Andy Carreon at the Anaheim Comic Con and we were blown away by his work. We quickly commissioned him to do some concept work for us, and we were very pleased with his first submission. Furthermore, he has designed a limited edition poster for us that we will be showing and selling at the Long Beach Comic Con. Check out a sample of his work below and on the comic page, and be sure to visit his web site at www.artstudioexhibit.com.
Also at the Anaheim Comic Con we met with actor, producer, and director Mr. Treva Etienne. Perhaps you are not familiar with the name, but I’m sure that you are familiar with his work. Click the links to check out his reel, his IMDB, and his wiki page. Treva and I have been e-mailing back and forth, and he is very interested in Vigilante Project. We’ll see where this leads.
In other news, I come to find out that my cousin-in-law (if there is such a thing) works for Skywalker Sound. I knew that she was “in the biz” and that she had worked on Avatar and a number of big films, but never did I ever think that she had ties to Mr. Lucas. This is a BIG deal for me and a RIDICULOUSLY HUGE deal for Phil who just happens to be President of the Orange County Star Wars Society. Need I say more?
I clued her in to what I was doing with Vigilante Project and she wants to handle the sound. So I guess now when I pitch the film, I can say that we have commitments from Skywalker Sound. What’s more is that she invited us up there to tour the facilities. However, she says to really appreciate the joint we need to attend a screening of a film. Well, don’t twist my arm! Okay, I’m done with the fan boy portion of the update.
Thanks to good old Craig’s List I came across Devorah (Devo) Cutler-Rubenstein and her company The Script Broker. Devo has a resume as long as my arm, and she has committed to helping us with coverage, and in developing the script. Once we’re finished, I hope that she believes in it enough to use some of her contacts to get the thing sold and made.
Lee McDermott is a stunt coordinator and fight choreographer that has appeared in 2 Pirates of the Caribbean films, but has also worked as a fight choreographer on Master and Commander, and as a director, and actor on a number of projects as well. Lee has expressed an interest in working with Yvette Avenue Productions on Vigilante Project as well.
So, that’s the update. If this is your first time here, don’t forget to follow us on Twitter, and to become a fan of (or now, to Like) our Facebook page. Also, if you need to get in touch with us for any reason, contact us as soon as possible.
