Catherine Trail – the host of “On The Red Carpet” – was gracious enough to invite several of the Mutantville Players to appear on her show. Kathy Sandvoss, Luis Machicao, Jack Stecher, Geo Swanko and director Jamie McRoberts had a great time talking to Catherine. The following videos were filmed at the Charlotte Film Community meetups over the past few months.
The lovely, talented and infamous (that means more than famous…just watch Three Amigos) Catherine Trail joins Mutantville Productions’ most recent project, G.H.O.S.T.. You may have seen Catherine in one of her many projects or on YouTube interviewing people on the Red Carpet (if you haven’t seen the later…stay tuned). We’re really looking forward to working with her. You can check out Catherine’s website here.

It’s time to pause for this week’s Mutantville.com station identification. Just in case you’re new to Mutantville.com – we would like to share links to our various presences across the world wide web.
MVP and Mutantville.com are proud to announce the addition of Charlotte-based actor Davis Osborne to the already stellar cast of “G.H.O.S.T.” Davis joins Dave Tunik on the set this weekend. He will play the part of “Joshua” in the first of a series of new scenes introducing the eponymous ghost hunting team in “G.H.O.S.T.’
Davis has appeared in a multiplicity of productions in and around the Charlotte area – including “Pursuit”, “Tolerance”, and the award winning short film “Chekov’s Children” by director Robert Fillion.
Davis initially auditioned for “G.H.O.S.T.” at the casting call back in August of ‘09 – but was unable to accept a role at the time due to schedule conflicts. Director J.T. McRoberts states, “I was very impressed with Davis’ auditions. Davis quite literally blew us away with his reading. I was always disappointed that we weren’t able to align our schedules to allow him to join us at the time. As soon as I started reading through the new scenes and thinking of the talent in the area – Davis’ name immediately sprung to mind. I reached out to him about participating and he graciously accepted.”
Davis’ philosophy on acting is proudly displayed on his website where he states, “every character . . . ever written, has an emotion to convey . . . to evoke in the silent bystander . . . the one in the shadows . . . the viewer. Pity. . .hate. . .fear. . .lust. . .love. . .concern. It is my job as the actor to search deep inside of me. . . . and find the parts of my human nature that I can use and magnify to deliver more than a performance. . .”
Mutantville Productions is headed back to the set this week as the new shooting schedule for “G.H.O.S.T.” begins in earnest! Principle photography was completed in November, pick ups were filmed over December, and the first assembly was completed over the winter holiday. After the first cut came in at a healthy 47 minute run time – producers Brent Bowers, Geo Blalock and writer/director J.T. McRoberts decided to invest in shooting some new scenes to expand the short film into a full length feature. After weeks of heavy work on the script for new scenes – the pieces are set in motion and MVP is on it’s way back to the set.
This week – we stop at a local bookstore where the fans will have a chance to meet and greet the one and only G.B. Cunningham from “G.H.O.S.T. “ Actors Dave Tunik and Davis Osborne are excited to head back to the set to bring the new scene to life. Filming on these additional scenes will continue through the few months and is expected to conclude in April. Keep watching Mutantville.com for your up to the minute MVP news!
Mutantville Productions is extremely proud to announce the addition of Matthew Ewald to the cast of “G.H.O.S.T.” Ewald is flying to the east coast at the end of the month to join actor Scott Thomas in the historic opera house for a scene based during the Civil War.
Matthew starred as Nick Bluetooth on the FOX/ABC series “Galidor” and will star as the young James T. Kirk on upcoming episodes of the award winning web series – “Star Trek Voyages: Phase II.’ Matthew has starred in several films and is currently on tour for his first novel, “. . . Human. . . Nature. . .”, now available for pre-order and due out in the coming months.
Although Matthew will only shoot for one day – his role in the story of “G.H.O.S.T.” is a pivotal one that sets in motion a chain of events with deadly repercussions for each member of the G.H.O.S.T. team.
Matthew brimmed with excitement when speaking of his role, “I’m so excited, forgive me for saying it again, but wow… this is going to be amazing. I haven’t been this excited in… well… What can I say? This is a dream role.”
MVP is proud to welcome Matthew to the talented cast of “G.H.O.S.T.” and hopes that this marks the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Streebo made the trip out to the theaters to watch the latest horror remake from the Hollywood machine and is proud to say that he had a howling good time with The Wolfman!
This week – Streebo’s B-movie poster watch takes a look at the classic poster art for the “based on a atrue story” horror film that shocked the nation in the late Seventies – The Amityville Horror! This spooky poster features the classic evil house taking up the entirety of the composition – with the classic tag line screaming down the middle of the poster, “for God’s sake, get out!” This simple design does it’s job well by creating a tone of dread by using the imposing image of the house juxtaposed against the urgency of the tagline. If you like what you see – this poster can be yours! Follow the link below to eBay and place your bid now!
Welcome to Mutantville Productions MVP Blog. Join Streebo, Brento, Geo & the rest of the Mutantville Players as they set sail on the high seas of guerrilla filmmaking in their ongoing quest to bring you the finest in genre entertainment.
