The Skull
Rosary is an adventure featurette shot with a
micro crew in 2012 and making it may be one of my fondest
memories. I wanted to write something specifically for
Tony Wayne, Kenny Cooper, and myself to play in. At the
time we were regularly
exploring the Verdugo Mountain range in Burbank while I was
simultaneously playing a lot of the video game Uncharted.
The combo inspired the tale of our fictional treasuring
group, "Le Trois Vaisseau." It was the most
ambitious thing I had ever done and came with a hefty 45
minute hike to and from location every day. But thanks
to an incredibly dedicated cast and the help of some
very talented friends, I
was thrilled with how our mini adventure movie turned
out. It features a truly gorgeous score by Dan Martinez and
some ingenious and brave no-budget camera work by DP Brian Barrow.
TSR won and was nominated for a wide variety of awards
at festivals nationwide.
My only regret was never having Jericho (Michael Foster)
stand directly next to Weston (Tony Wayne) to show how
huge he is! What a waste of great casting. In any case, I hope you
enjoy it as much as we enjoyed making it. Truly some of
the most fun days of my life.
