Filming wrapped for Bubba the Redneck Werewolf

It's been awhile since I last last posted, but quite a bit has been going on. My comic creation "Bubba the Redneck Werewolf" has gotten the film treatment I've been wanting to do for almost ten years.

It came out as good if not better than expected. With a mixed bag of of all ages, races, backgrounds and ability, Bubba was truly grown like is said of a village raising a child. Admittedly, A very ornery child though. (Insert laugh here).

It was not easy or fun most of the time as making an independent low budget comedy that has a costumed character involved is probably the worst first time project for anyone.

The crew was filled with well experienced people who have worked on major motion pictures and stage shows in the past. then add new talents and lightly experienced people who had dedication and the willingness to learn and contribute.
What I enjoyed best is that everyone pulled together like a crazy rollicking family and now quiet a few of them have new friends and associates to call, hang out or work with.

We had Cos-Players, Burlesque performers, vetted stage and screen actors all giving unique (in the good way!) performances. Some of the rough footage has been test viewed by everyone from just fans of the comics to Oscar and Emmy award winners, who were surprised that it did not look like a typical "B" film and the comedy and slapstick resonated well with them all.

There is a Bubba website being built, but for now you can go to the Bubba Facebook page and see behind the scenes stills and get familiar with the cast and crew.

As to where and whom is distributing the movie...Out shopping that now. Had some offers, but patience and the best deal for us all wins.

The one thing I'm proudest of besides our amazing cast and crew is that there were just the usual 'down home' values that I always made sure were part of the comics and Bubba mythos.

I personally went over it all to ensure that there was nothing more offensive in this than the usual Slapstick and goofy humor Bubba has always been known and appreciated for. The characters show growth in personality and ability.

We also did not use "names" (Although I was offered some right before filming began from contacts in LA and NY), we decided that as generous as this was, we would attempt to make 'new' ones we hope you all will enjoy in this and their future work to come.

I also have a feeling that like "Animal House" and "Star Wars" we found some new household names to come. Only time will tell.

I want to thank all the fans and our incredible crew for a job well done!
stay tuned...Be posting more soon!
