Project By
Has not connected their Facebook account.
After shooting hundreds of concerts (Elton John, the Eagles, George Harrison, and the Bee Gees), Deborah moved to Los Angeles and created Starart, a coffee-table book showcasing the fine art of Joni Mitchell, John Mayall, Cat Stevens, Klaus Voormann, Commander Cody, and Ron Wood of the Rolling Stones. She then began her film career, freelancing as a still photographer, designer, actor and reader. Her design efforts were instrumental in garnering millions of dollars in foreign and domestic feature and video revenues. Deborah produced and starred in Final Placement at the Tiffany Theater, raising thousands of dollars for the child abuse charity, Childhelp USA. She later produced and directed the filming of a Mick Fleetwood concert in Coachella, CA. She wrote her first screenplay in 2002 and has since optioned two screenplays. Her second book, Everybody I Shot Is Dead, honors 48 musicians she photographed who have since passed away.
Its amazing how much work and time goes into a short film of about 25 minutes - months and months. Looking forward to finally seeing the final product when I get my signed (preference Joe Lando) DVD copy. Thanks for all you are doing to make this movie a success right from the start.
Hey Deborah. Can you give us an update about End of the Innocents film? Is it in any festivals yet and how's that going?
Hey the trailer is fabuloso!! Enjoying it and making sure to visit the trailer often and get other to see it to push End of Innocence right up to to Numero Uno!!
Hi Deborah, just to let you know that I really enjoyed the trailer and am looking forward to seeing the whole film. I can't tell you how great it is to be a part of this process. Thanks for the opportunity.
Thanks for the push, Penni. Just posted an update.
What is the status of the new site?
I will be putting more of Joe's interview on the new site. In the midst of building the public pages and then need to figure out the private portion of it.
Thanks for your patience and being such a great supporter!
Hey, Deborah, great to hear about your radio blog. Can't wait to hear whats going on. I am so jazzed about being part of the backers for End of Innocense, and can't wait to see the finished project. In Update #10, you promised some more videos on Joe Lando, is there any possibility that we could see those? Hey, sorry for being a pushy broad! Just another die hard fan, like the millions of other broads out in the planet. Sylvia
News is coming...been really busy with the film.
No news to share with your faithful backers? Anecdotes from behind the scene? A small video? Please. Thank you.
Hi Deborah,
I echo the words of of Isabelle Claire. It is Wednesday (W.Australia) here and still Tuesday there so I do believe you may have completed the project. I do sincerely thank you for the oppotunity to be part of your project and sincerely wish for its success. Also for future success of all the cast and crew. I am looking forward to seeing and hearing of the outcomes from here on in.
Hello Deborah,
Now, the shouting must be completed. I hope everything went well. I can't wait to read your thoughts on this great adventure. This is the first time I participate in the financing (even small) of a film and I'm very excited to follow the steps of your project. Thank you for sharing.
Way to go, getting rolling so soon! What Church are you shooting in?
Thank you, Sylvia!
Congratulations! Wonderful cast, wonderful crew, lots of caring fans. I knew End of Innocence would score in the big time. And such talented actors/actresses how could you miss. Hey, break a leg! Again, I am glad to be part of it all, in a small way for a big time!! Thanks, Sylvia
Congratulations on reaching your goal. Knowing you, this film will be another success.
I'm very pleased to see the quality of actors you are amassing for this project that means so much to you and I hope, as I'm sure most of us do, that fans of certain actors, with very specific wants, will not try to supersede the needs of all aspects of this wonderful project and develop some patience. and respect of boundaries when it comes to families and neighborhoods.
I'm not sure what you mean. It's a narrative short which means it's a fictional story. The actors all play characters within the story and it's acted out on location sets. It is not narrated though. The actors talk to each other as the characters.
Deborah congratulations on more than reaching your goal. I do have a question though. You call End of Innocence a Narrative Short, does that mean that there will be no actual movie with Joe and the others? I mean, do we get to see a movie and find out what the ending has in store for us, or is it just a narrative about this child that is kidnaped? Thanks again, Sylvia
There will be more clips posted and special behind-the-scenes postings as they come up. We also have to dedicate our time to prepping for the shoot or the movie itself will suffer. So, please be patient.
Deborah, you have a 3 updates mentioning Joe Lando, and only two interviews, A Walk in the Park, and Talking about his character the Congressman, where is the other one? We can't get enough of Joe, what else is new!!. Hey, I did come over from a Joe and Jane site, graces-cafe.net, to which I put a link to Kickstarter request for pledges to End Innocence with Joe. So, finally glad to get some current info on Joe and be a part of a film with quality actors and a great story. Sylvia
