SCRATCH - Feature Film

2012-01-11T08:43:00.000-08:00

We have been working so hard to complete our feature film "SCRATCH" which was previously called: "The Stick-Up Movie".

Tagline: "Sometimes we do the wrong thing for the right reason...".

Synopsis: The Stick-Up Movie is a fun-filled comedy about two down-on-their-luck guys, struggling to make ends meet. When an opportunity to travel with their girlfriends to a tropical resort suddenly arises, they devise several “get rich-quick schemes” to get the money, with a hilarious domino effect that takes them from travel to trouble.

Why Invest... In A Feature Film?

2009-08-03T13:09:00.000-07:00

"The Power of Vision...

is Seeing What is not yet There!"

We are a company of vision. We are: HARD RAIN PICTURES & ENTERTAINMENT INC., and what we offer an individual investor or investment group is a vision never before seen in the Entertainment Industry. In fact, we're so sure that what we offer is so unique, so innovative and so lucrative that NO sophisticated investor would deliberately let this opportunity... slip away!

So... can you see yourself in the Entertainment Industry?

Entertainment, specifically, a feature film, is the best investment one can make for the up-side potential vs the risk. In fact, a feature film is better than:

real estate
blue chip stocks
gold
silver
precious stones
income producing rental properties
futures
treasuries
international currencies

better than anything with the possible exception of investing in your own education and spiritual enlightenment. There simply no business with manufacturing capital entry requirements as low as motion pictures where the potential return can be unlimited over the short, medium and long terms.

SKIDS PRODUCTIONS, LLC., is to be a limited liability Corporation, specifically, incorporated to limit the liabilities of the participants in the feature film. It is a full audio/visual Entertainment Company. It is distinguishing itself as a leader in the converging: theatrical, digital media, music, home video, video-on-demand markets and will quickly become one of the most highly esteemed independent studios in the Entertainment Industry.

Interested??? That's Great!!! YOU... are the people... we want to share our vision... with!

The Process of Landing a Great Cast & Crew

2009-07-10T05:54:00.000-07:00

Pray? Beg? Or impress them with a great story/script, a world-class director and a cinematographer... with phenomenal work ethic and creativity.

Although most of these talented individuals are always in high demand it is also quite apparent... that many... if not all of these talented people research, select, respect and look for a damn good project cause they know... usually, the money will follow. Sometimes, they go for the project... more-so than the buck. How reassuring.

We believe that, "SKIDS" is just such a project. We must check for the availability of such talent and and make a commitment to each and every one. In this way, everything is above board, the talent has enough time to arrange their schedules and we are in a better position to take the "BIG" step... to the next level.

Stay Tuned!!!!!

The Director?

2009-07-02T21:42:00.000-07:00

Could it be anybody? Sure, of course. Will it be? Not very likely. The reason is that Directors specialize in... Directing. The best are always in demand and seldom, are without a project. A great Director... gets it. He gets your budget. He gets your actors and he gets your... story. He/she completely understands your story/script and knows how to tell it... and show it on the "BIG" screen.

We have several Directors on our wish list and we will be speaking to their agents and to them, within the couple of weeks. We believe this is a spectacular opportunity for a Director to showcase his/her directing prowess, expertise and story-telling abilities simply by showing us... he/she... gets it!

Presently, we are considering eight possible candidates for the position of Director. All are extremely qualified, experienced and successful in the movie industry. Availability, adhesion to the story/script and the enthusiasm for the project are all... determining factors.

Now... it's getting... exciting!

Check back often and see what's going on.

The Actor

2009-06-30T06:04:00.000-07:00

The dictionary says: an actor is a person who acts in stage plays, motion pictures, television broadcasts, etc. Absolutely no play, motion picture or television broadcast would be complete or even come close to conveying its message without the dedication, stellar performance and expertise of an actor.

Actors come in all shapes and sizes. Some, but not all are extremely attractive. That being said, beauty is usually a bonus, in a glitz and glam industry but a true actor knows they will be judged based on their performance, abilities and character adaptation... more-so than their looks.

The most successful actors are usually those who excel at their craft and create a demand for their services. The more successful the play, movie or broadcast, the more money, an actor can expect and/or demand for the next project.

When an actor is on top of their craft... they can be extremely selective of the roles they wish to play. Some resent the projects of the past while others, add it to their repertoire and embrace the experience and what they have learned. Recognition... from their peers is an achievement and the ultimate reward for their effort. It is truly a milestone and what a true actor strives for and cherishes when they get it

Which brings us to this question, are actors made or born? Can a School for the Arts actually turn a no talent into a talent? Is such an ability learned or is it already there? If role playing is an essential part of acting... how much is taken from real experience (not acting) and how much is actually, playing the role (acting)?

Whatever the case, actors, good or bad have taken a step few of us will ever take. It's a step in which an individual has decided, against much consternation, that doing something they enjoy is really all that it's about. To be paid for doing it... is really a bonus... of sort. If an actor truly succeeds, they can make us believe that anything is possible and that, fantasy is indeed... reality. If they fail, they usually find they are less and less in demand.

Although actors are worshipped and idolized few if any, do it for the money. They do it because they love to perform. Now... if you believe that... they are better at their craft.. than most. Now... that's acting!

What's it all About?

Log Line:

Jarrett Larsen has lived at the Parkville Street Orphanage for thirteen years of his seventeen years on this earth. Along with his friends, Tommy Johnson and Marie Thompson they have seen a lot of strange things and are drawn into the seedier side of unscrupulous activities going on at the Orphanage. Along the way they discover passion, love, intrigue and danger and a bond that will last them for a lifetime.

What About the Cast?

2009-06-28T06:52:00.000-07:00

How important is the cast... to a Film? Can they make the difference between a good Film and a great one? Can a so-so script be saved by great actors playing their roles in the Film? Some experts may say yes but usually, it is a resounding... no!

HRP (Hard Rain Pictures) is presently looking for the perfect balance, the perfect melding of talent and experience. Veteran actors may save you money on the set but they also cost you more... to be in your Film.

HRP have a "WISH LIST" of experienced actors and young up-start talent. However, the key to it all is simply this. Each actor we have on our list... deserves to be on it. They all bring something to the Film. They all have something they can contribute and make the Film... a great success.

The plan is within the next month... contacting the actors on the "WISH LIST" to see if the Film role, is appealing to him/her and whether he/she is available for the production. If each actor is available, HRP would like to begin production in September, 2009. In reality, this is more likely to begin in spring/summer of 2010.

Whatever scenario we encounter... we believe BLIND FAITH is a sensational vehicle for HRP to begin making a real name for itself in the Entertainment Industry.

Stay tuned!!!
