Dorval Films Launches “No Good Deed” the Indiegogo Campaign

The broadcast film division of Dorval Films has launched its Indiegogo Campaign for the short film “No Good Deed”.

Says director Wayne Dorey a veteran of 53 years in the entertainment business, “if all goes well and we can build support early for the production of this timely story, principal photography will begin in October".

As the film unfolds it becomes disturbingly obvious that we are starting with something pure but we are ending with something evil. This short film is like shining a flashlight into a corner of a dark room where we are afraid to look. No one should ever have to emotionally journey to this place. It is about a random act of kindness that throws the innocent to the wolves”.

Episode one of, “Comic Book Culture” is a panoramic view of the comic book influenced culture that surrounds us. It is an episode full of expert opinions on everything from comic books, to the gathering of players at the comic book stores to play trading cards games and board games and the end-of-the-trend is nowhere in sight.

Our show is a reflection of a

world that has a taste for fantasy

and adventure.

The Hollywood has relied on the comic books to inspire some of the most successful franchise movies ever made. And that has fueled an interest in the comic book culture like never before. Our show is a reflection of a world that has a taste for fantasy and adventure. The real winner is the audience as the movies try harder and the computer geeks are having a ball CGI-ing the crap out of everything. However, if one more car flies into my face and explodes into pieces, I’m going to scream.

Geeks are having a ball CGI-ing the

crap out of everything

DorVal Films Launches “Comic Book Culture”. It is a portal to the Geek-Dome of fantasy and adventure. The question is on August 15, 2013, do you know what the other guy is doing. If it’s comic book inspired, random and cool, you will see it on “Comic Book Culture”.

DorVal Films is about to unveil it’s latest’s web series called “Comic Book Culture”

As the comic book culture expands at the speed of hype, we see signs of life and new horizons. No longer do teenage kids have to hide away in the “Comic Book / Guilt Free” area of their basement. Modern society has embraced the double-edged sword with the laser handgrip that shoots small missiles and also comes equipped with a flip out chainsaw and a... you get the picture.

Imagination and fantasy; a cure for a sole not satisfied with the day-to-day race for the finish line. There were monuments in time from a colorful human history of not knowing and it created tails, myths and quests.  There were times of great courage in the face of evil. If you take into consideration how far back some of these monsters go well it spans five thousand years. With such a deep pool of fantasy and folklore to choose from, the history of unawareness is full of great bits and pieces.

Comics can arguably be traced to the 1500th century to the clergy that painstakingly craved into a block of wood and then put ink on that wood, then they press the wood onto a sheet of sheet of paper. The process ended up bringing faith to the faithful illiterates, with a picture bible. When they placed a scroll coming out of the person’s mouth to make a comment, the modern comic strip was born.

Comic Book Culture is a reflection of the sum of all that is adventure, action, suspense, drama, danger, tension, and terror with near death “OH NO” watch out for that building…

The above is something we will never face in our lives, but to escape is the key. Comic Book Culture is the history of young imagination based on the “Anywhere Else But Here” theory of entertainment!

I was five years old, I remember watching Superman jump into a broom closet then jump out the window.  I always wondered; if I am walking down the hallway of a newspaper office in 1960 and I saw a guy that looks like one of the reporters jump out the window, what the hell? You mean no one ever saw that? I guess I was logical as a boy, kids… go figure.

The spin-offs are countless. It began; when a man in china five thousand years ago, told the story of the dragon that he saw in the local river but then we spin forward past the sea monsters to the bible where it talks of the dragon being cast from heaven forward past to the spotting and slaying of dragons in the middle ages and of course bypassing the Greeks and Vikings, over to Merlin and King Arthur days fast forward to the countless tails of quests and treasures and the monsters that hoard them.

1903 baseball trading card game is release, 1938 sees the release of Superman and the super hero business explodes into today. The Wall-to-Wall creativity keeps spinning its web and the public can’t get enought.

With a rocket suit here and a set of blades in your Swiss Army knuckles there, long overdue attention is being focused on the pioneers and the players that gave birth to generation now suffering from “Collect-O-Comic-Eye-Test”.  It turns out this is a common condition brought on by the refusal to let go of some of your early experiences… and there is the winning part to. Enter Magic, the gathering. This is billed as “Your weekly destination”. And this destination is about to explode.

More about Magic next time…

Director Wayne Dorey on; the “Short Film”

I believe that when the creative team and production expertise meet there is an explosion of inspired work that takes place.  $250.00 to shoot and post a short film is no way to treat a real writer’s vision.  If you want inspired performances, striking cinematography and real dramatic writing, time and money are crucial.

Color correcting and on-lining assembling of a theater ready digital print, is not an option. Why make a short film if your not going to complete the project?

Student short films are an excellent proving ground for skills and ideas. Every major player in the film business at one time worked on a short film and yes some were done for even less than $50.00 but, if you want to make the jump to be taken serious as a professional film maker then sooner or later you have to rise to the occasion.

I am fortunate to be joined by some amazingly talented people that will make it possible to bring  “No Good Deed” to the screen.  One member of the production team in particular is someone I have known for twenty-five years or so, John Holosko. John’s latest credits include 2^nd unit DOP for the Pilot “Defiance” the new TV series for NBC / Universal. As we carefully plan principal photography John is quick to remind me that an educated audience will not give your project the respect it deserve if there expectations are not met by the fundamental rules of motion picture production.

We are planning to shoot helicopter footage for the opening and closing sequence of the film. To check out the rig follow;
