Matthew Ewald Releases Second Novel, RAGS Premieres Tonight, and Around the Horror World in Sixty Seconds on Fridays with MVP.

Whispers In The Cries by Matthew Ewald.

Welcome back for another edition of Fridays with MVP on Mutantville.com.  It’s been another busy week of post-production as the Mutantville Players have been busy with post-production in a race to get several films ready for the upcoming Nevermore Film Festival in Durham.  MVP was fortunate enough to have our slasher short film Scarecrow At Midnight play at the Nevermore Festival earlier this year and we are hoping that one or more of our new films makes the cut for next year.

In G.H.O.S.T. news – the HD conversion has been a source of many headaches during post-production – but we’re still working hard to get it all to come together.  Meanwhile in England, Martin Bowes is hard at work on the original new score for MVP’s full length Gothic horror.  The final plans for the premiere are coming together so look for an announcement from MVP soon.
MVP is hosting a night at the movies with indie cinema tonight as Kristopher Rufty screens his latest release RAGS on the Mutantville Mothership.  RAGS stars the always lovely Vanelle as a backsliding addict that sets out on a mission of revenge.  Keep watching Mutantville.com for exclusive photos and reports from the screening.

More “G.H.O.S.T.” Casting News: Davis Osborne Accepts Role In “G.H.O.S.T.”

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. . .”

Matthew Ewald Joins Cast of G.H.O.S.T.

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.
