Winter 2024-25 Patrick Scully Films Update

Good news to report...

Dear fans and patrons for the films about Patrick Scully,

I hope this finds you all warm and happy with your loved ones. As many of you remember, It's been over two years since we had a successful fundraiser and almost 6 years since I began making this film. We've done a lot of work in those years and we have used most of the resources that you generously gave.

I was really hoping that I would not have to ask for more, Luckily it looks like I may not have to! A fairy godmother (of sorts) has told me recently, the Mn State Arts Board has awarded me a modest grant to finish the film! This may be enough to pay for its completion. Thank you to the state for stepping in, and just at the right time! This is our first grant!

As I said in the last update, We have submitted 'The Dance Is Not Over' to a few festivals. We are still hoping for a Spring 2025 premiere. We have asked a few experts to look at the "fine cut", we've gotten good notes from them on how to make the film a better watch and more historically accurate. We are getting so close! Wish us luck!

If you still would like to give so we can be fully funded or to recieve producer credit, Our goal is to finish raising $41,450 to ensure that Patrick’s story – which in many ways is all our stories – gets told.I want to thank Susan D. for donating $50 earlier this year.

All donations will be designated for the completion of this work.

Funders giving $20,000 will be credited as Executive Producers

$10,000 will be credited as Producers

$5,000 will be credited as Associate Producers

Any amount will also be listed in the credits of the film

Lots of things are getting done...

Dear fans and patrons for the films about Patrick Scully,

Thanks to those who came to my Northeast studio during Art-A-Whirl. It was great to talk to friends of Patrick and the film and meet you. I know Its' been awhile since my last update but we've been working hard editing the film. I gave my team a deadline of Sept 30th and they delivered to me a "fine cut" of movie. This cut has custom titles, an audio mix, songs spotted in and end credits. It basically looks like a film, it is a film. I can't wait to show it to you.

We have submitted this to a couple of festivals so far. We are hoping for a spring 2025 premiere, wish us luck! I am really happy with overall vibe, look and feel of the film. While there are still things to change, clips to enhance and more audio mixing to level up or down, we are getting so close!

As we continue to polish the film we are running out of financial resources, your donations have gotten us this far. The big looming cost I need to fund raise for is paying for the supporting images and video clips in the film. I am haggling with media sources, filmmakers and photographers. I'm doing my best but it looks like I need 5-8K to finish this film. Can you help?  If you're able to donate more to this film I would greatly appreciate it.

As you know well, our goal is to finish raising $51,450 to ensure that Patrick’s story – which in many ways is all our stories – gets told.

I want to thank David P. for donating $100 earlier this year.

Wojahn Props Bucks Star for Mad Max

I have some newly released work to share from Art Class, Furiosa & ESPN
In the spring I propped in Milwaukee for Furiosa and ESPN. As a super fan of the Mad Max franchise since the 1980's, (I own all the blu-rays), it felt like a signature moment for me to be able to work these three commercials. It was filled with Mad Max props and a NBA all star Damian Lillaird. LA production designer Johnny Love made great choices, especially with the hero Wasteland car and MKE art director Gene Rueter crewed a great local dept. Local MKE producer Nicholaus Langholff wrangled a lot of out of town action to pull this one off. The spot continues to promote the film during the NBA playoffs on TV, Youtube and other medias. I will be going to see Furiosa a second time. Yes, it was that good.


MKE Art Dept Crew with the Wasteland Car

This spot, Dame's Daily Routine was 1 of 3 spots directed by Vincent Peone, DoP was Federico Tamburini, MKE Propmaster Mark Wojahn, Local Producer was Nicholaus Langholff.
