We have several details to consider when producing our feature film Lucky, including crew, props, locations and scheduling actors. It’s a considerable amount to handle on top of learning lines since I will also be in front of the camera when I’m not behind it. There is a deadline for this film, so we are […]

We have cast our feature film Lucky shooting this summer. Gabriel Schreiber plays Peter Wilson, the bullied boy who must learn to fight.     Joshua Stinson plays Lucky, the stuffed dog who comes to life before Peter’s eyes and helps him deal with the bullies through humor and a healthy dose of love.   […]

Brad produced content for this trailer for over two months. When he’s not at work, he’s in his home office designing shots and rendering on two, sometimes three computers.
