Three Documentaries by Gary WoodThe team that produced "Saving Star Wars" and
"Open Mic'rs" are producing three documentaries simultaneously
by the end of 2008. They are forming a new corporation called 3 Docs Productions
and are opening up 25 shares for public participation.
The documentaries are:
1. “My Kid Brother’s Band” will be Executive
Produced by Louise Harrison and tells about the 1963 visit to small town
America by her brother George. It was the first landing of a Beatle in
America and NO ONE KNEW WHO HE WAS. The Beatles didn’t play The
Ed Sullivan Show until Feb 1964 so, as Louise says, “He was the
only one to be able to know what it was like to live amongst Americans
as a real person.” Other exciting facts: The first Beatles record
was played on the radio during this visit to a small town, he played with
a group called The Four Vests at the local V.F.W, and he bought a guitar
in the town that he took with him all over the world and now sits in the
Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Cleveland. Again, should be fun, quirky
and high-profile. It is said that there is no new Beatles information—this
is it. It’s the story that you can’t believe hasn’t
been told yet. Louise will be in this movie and telling the story along
with residents of the town that played with and met George during his
visit…NONE of them believing George was in a band that was No 1.
in Europe until…..”Isn’t that George on The Ed Sullivan
Show?” 3 minute trailer available.
2. “One Wild and Crazy City” details the 1979-80’s
feud between Steve Martin and the city of Terre Haute. It began with Martin’s
comments in Playboy where he called Terre Haute “Nowhere-ville USA.”
The City responded with a challenge for Martin to return. He did…and
they messed with him during his entire visit. Martin retaliated by destroying
the city with a Nazi cheese mold in “Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid”
and has since ribbed the city whenever possible. OWCC will be a fun and
quirky look at this good-natured feud. The production will interview the
sons of both city Mayor’s at the time of the battle (both Mayor’s
are deceased) and, hopefully, Steve Martin.
3. "Sissies” tells the true story of two sisters
that could not be more different. One is a World Champion du athlete in
prime physical condition, never been married and is a proud lesbian. The
other is a comedian, on her third marriage…and has MS. It should
be a funny yet poignant look at how two sisters can have the same up-bringing
yet turn out so different. It will also have the added drama/humor of
witnessing the sisters discuss one’s homosexuality for the first
time. Production has already begun with footage of the athlete WINNING
the 2007 World Dualthalon sponsored by McDonald's. She is 44 and finished
FIRST in her age group and was the THIRD female finisher overall in this
grueling event.
3Docs Productions is looking for Associate and Executive
Producers of these documentaries. NOTE: There only 6 shares remaining
at this time.
