Another Set of Shoots Down!

Happy New Year everyone!  We truly hope your holiday season was a fantastic time, spent with all of your loved ones.

The one studios crew has been working diligently to ensure Fight 4 Your Life stays true to its course.  The holidays may have been upon us, but we continued to push!  From January 1st through January 5th we had F4YL star Brandon J. Woods back from the east coast, where he is attending the Harvard School of Medicine, to shoot a string of scenes.  The shoots went great!  And it was awesome to have Brandon, aka Fleet Blackwood, back on set.

As we progress into 2014….WOW…..one studios will be shooting further scenes/shots without Mr. Woods during the months of January, February and March.  Our teenage Fleet, Antonio Mulqueeney, will be taking the reins for several of these shoots.  Wish him luck!

In addition to these shoots, we will be preparing with much vigor for having Brandon back in the spring for his final shoots, which happen to be the final scenes that will be needed for Fight 4 Your Life‘s completion!!!  Exciting news indeed!  We can’t wait to finish, but we are taking in every moment of this journey.  It’s priceless.  And we have some great stuff coming for you to check out over the coming months to show our progress….one being the first official teaser trailer for F4YL!!!

Thank you, as always, to everyone involved throughout this strenuous process.  And for those that are not directly involved, thank you for your support!  Fight 4 Your Life would not be possible without each and every one of you.  A very special thanks to all of the location providers for this past week’s shoots:

Craig DeLuz

Craig is well known throughout the Sacramento Region as an actor, writer, media personality and community activist.  And as an actor, he is best known for his work on stage.

He has starred as “Louie”, short for Lucifer, in Calvary Christian Center’s original stage production, Oh Hell No: A Revelation of Hell, which he also helped write. He also played a major role as “Roman” in, and was the principal writer for, Jesse: A Modern day Easter Story, which was another Calvary original. Craig played major roles in numerous other Calvary Christian Center productions as well, including Where Are the Fathers, The Cup, Christmas at Myrtle’s House and Before It’s Too Late.

On film, Craig played a principal role as “Julio” in the groundbreaking independent film Dark Truths: The Movie in 3D.  In California Kings, a crime-drama web series, he plays a a violent drug trafficker named “Andre”.  Craig is also in the midst of producing his own web series, DOA: Diary of an Assassin, where he plays “Gideon”, a hired killer with a moral code.

Craig was a natural fit for his role as “Craig” in Fight 4 Your Life.  In fact, before Craig joined the cast his character had no official name, only simply known as “Hanson’s Sidekick”.  But Craig’s ferocity with the role on set gave creator / director Bryan Bachar inspiration to add to the hyper-mouthed character.  He also realized Craig’s own name fit the character perfectly!  We’re truly blessed to have had Craig on board.  He’s a valuable member of the F4YL and one studios Family!

Hence Singleton

As a child of the 80‘s growing up in Milwaukee, WI, Hence has been entertaining since grade school.  In high school he participated in talent shows, as well as choir and drama club.  He also has made is part of his repertoire over the years to do impersonations of people like Michael Jackson, Tiger Woods, Muddy Waters and Jimi Hendrix.  Hence started comedy in the mid 90‘s when the MC did not show up for a male dance revue show.  So, the owners of the club tossed him out there for the wolves.  After 20 minutes of having the crowd eating out of his hand, a comic was born.

Hence has been inspired by such great comics before him like Richard Pryor, Andrew Dice Clay, DL Hughley and Ron White.  He found that comedy was a good way to express his views on life and all the strange things that happened on a daily basis.

The always busy Hence has performed at The Comedy Store, Haha Cafe, The LA Improv, The Laugh Factory, Jon Lovitz Up’N Comers Show, The Purple Onion, Tommy T’s and more.  He has also performed with Donnel Rawlings, Reginald Ballard, David Raibon and Mike Robles, amongst others.  Since Hence moved out to California, more opportunities have opened up to him.  He has appeared in La-Mission, The 420/360 web series and High Crimes.

Fight 4 Your Life is a step away from comedy for Hence.  But he has welcomed the opportunity with open arms and enthusiasm.  And his dedication to the project is astounding, having to regularly travel from the San Francisco Bay Area to make his obligations to the film.  We thank Hence tremendously for all of his diligence.

Look for Hence on Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, IMDb, YouTube or his own site HERE.  And here’s a quick snippet of Hence doin’ it up at one of his comedy shows!

Brian Jagger

Co-host of FitBody Focused & Weight Loss warrior on FitBodyRadio, Brian Jagger is an entrepreneur, working actor, writer, marketing consultant and personal trainer.  Jagger’s most recent short film screenplay entitled “The Lottery Ticket” is one of the ten winning scripts for the 14th annual Place Called Sacramento Film festival put on by Access Sacramento.  The film premiered October 6th, 2013 @1pm, at the Crest Theater in Sacramento, California.

In early 2013, Jagger helped co-found the video based social media platform VidGage, a social media platform that allows users to post video updates and uniquely allows followers to comment via video replies created through the platform (commenting with video).  VidGage even allows comments on comments.

As a writer Jagger has previously earned a “Best Original Script” ELLY nomination for his original play “The Interviews” which has been produced by three different theater groups in the Sacramento region since 2009.  Jagger also wrote and helped produce the webseries “Now Hiring” which is loosely based upon the play “The Interviews”.  The series can be viewed online at www.NowHiring.TV

As an actor, Jagger earned his Screen Actors Guild eligibility with a principal role in the Paul Thomas Anderson directed movie “The Master” in a scene opposite Phillip Seymour Hoffman (which was unfortunately cut, but still earned Jagger his SAG-E).  Jagger has also had guest lead or primary supporting roles in four different national television shows and has appeared in over a dozen national television show episodes.  He has also been in several regional television commercials and multiple short films.

Jagger also works as a marketing consultant and promotions specialist helping small businesses as well as artists and athletes with their publicity and promotion.  In addition, Jagger works part-time as a Certified Personal Trainer, something he became after losing over 120lbs.

Weighing in at 316lbs, Brian Jagger knew (and was flat out told by his Doctor) things needed to change.  After losing more than 140lbs, Jagger became inspired by those who found inspiration in his success.  To continue to help and inspire others to get fit, Jagger became an ACE Certified Personal Trainer (CPT).  Jagger currently trains and coaches from Anytime Fitness in Roseville, CA.

Far from easy, and littered along the way with more than the usual amount of difficulty, Jagger has lost the weight with more than a short-story to tell.  Marriage and family lost, medical complications, behavior and personality change, criminal activity… all that and more, Jagger has come through.  Fighting through the negative and focusing on getting “back to old Brian”, Jagger has persevered, gotten healthy, built back his family and dedicated himself to helping others get through the challenge of weight loss and fitness transformation, all while avoiding the pitfalls he encountered.

Now that things are “normal” medically for Jagger, he has earned his CPT and is proud to be helping others in their fitness goals.  He has also begun the foundations for his professional writing and acting career.

Brian came onto Fight 4 Your Life after having met creator Bryan Bachar via mutual colleague Marc Gardner.  Both Brian and Bryan had small roles in Marc’s short film, The Within.  Since then Brian has been in several one studios productions, including landing a role in F4YL.  We’re thrilled to have Mr. Jagger on board and look forward to continuing to build a lasting relationship!

Keenan Johnston

Brian Keenan Johnston has worked in public-policy and communications since 1985.  This work entails public speaking, non-profit administration, ‘community organizing’ and effective advocacy.  Principally based in Sacramento, he has worked with legislators throughout the world as an advocate for the medically vulnerable, having testified and worked legislation in all of the state capitols of the Mountain and Pacific states, as well as Washington, D.C., and the national legislatures of New Zealand, Australia, Belgium, and South Africa.

As an administrator of a non-profit corporation and a public-policy and communications adviser, Brian provides advice predicated on creatively achieving three basic goals:
 
1) affirming the dignity of the human person.
2) communicating in an accessible, entertaining and motivating way
3) giving effective agency to the ideas expressed…”GET IT DONE” (‘Activity is not the same as accomplishment’)

 

As the single, most effective tool of mass communications is the moving image, Brian has made a specialty of focus on the medium of film as both art and business, having ‘cut-his teeth’ in the employ of an entertainment law firm in the 1970’s.  As an avocation he has subsequently worked films and documentary productions throughout the world, and on both sides of the camera.

Keenan, which is Brian’s stage name, has acted in many film productions over the years.  It was in 2011 that he met F4YL director Bryan Bachar for a short film project called Passerby (Pass Her Bye), in which Keenan played the lead role.  Since this film, Keenan has been a loyal friend and colleague to the one studios crew, having been in several other one studios films.  So, it was a no brainer to ask Keenan to be a part of the Fight 4 Your Life feature film project, as he had also been in the short film version of F4YL in 2012.

Yes, we’re more than pleased to have Mr. Johnston reprise his role, as it’s always a pleasure to work with him…and his comedic antics on set.  He’s a busy guy who never seems to rest!  In fact, if this character actor is not in front of the camera, he’s behind it, also partaking in running events such as the Life Fest Film Festival in Hollywood, CA.  Truly, we are fortunate to have Keenan aboard.  And we wish him nothing but success in his adventures, giving him the same ongoing support he has given Fight 4 Your Life, and one studios!

Be sure to check out the Life Fest Film Festival!

Matt Wilson

Matt Wilson is a twenty-seven year old aspiring actor and online video host for Synthesis Magazine, as well as his own YouTube channel, Video Matt Presents.  This energetic and extremely positive media entrepreneur is ecstatic to be a part of Fight 4 Your Life.  Matt says:

 

“Working on Fight 4 Your Life was such a blast cause not only was I coming together with other creative individuals who love filmmaking in the Northern California Valley, but I was able to be apart of a film project that has a killer story and a lot of potential to be seen by many people.  I feel like everyday I have to fight to get one step closer at achieving my own goals regardless if I’m in a cage or not.  So I feel like Fight 4 Your Life has a positive message we all can relate to, and that’s keep fighting for what you believe, no matter what your personal ring or cage might be.”

 

Matt’s excitement towards F4YL is addicting.  He’s brought with him not simply a passionate mindset, but also an excellent overall attitude.  We thank Matt for his continued commitment towards F4YL and wish him the best in his own adventures.  To keep up with Matt, follow him on Twitter and visit his YouTube channel.  Both links are below…
