1st official teaser poster from the 2nd film in the QUEST Trilogy
This blog update is coming to you from Yuma, AZ. Now I’ve just gotten my first solid sleep since arriving. I do not have any coffee (yet) but I do have a little one brew about to be put to work. I have a whirlwind of things to do on my “day off” including the “40 Nights” Champion Church “thank you” showing/premiere tonight at 6:00 pm.
Last night we finish our 1st week of production on “Chasing the Star” and we had some incredible talent in here doing some incredible work. You can read a new release about some of these good folks.

The storm cometh
Wind storms, camels and such are only a few of the amazing highlights from the week of shooting in the deserts around Yuma, AZ. What a great team of dedicated people working hard to tell the story. Our food has been great due to sponsors and our amazing Chef Eddie who has been spoiling us. This follow up film in the QUEST TRILOGY will be aiming at a Christmas 2016 release.
“Bestseller” which will be releasing in a few months has an offer for foreign sales representation. We will be discussing that next week upon my return to Michigan.
“Ashes of Eden” and “Donors” are also releasing in the coming months and stay tune for more updates on that front.
I have a 101 things to get to today so I’m going to keep this short. I promise a more in depth update once I get back to the Michigan. The weather here has been a blessing even though we have had a few chilly nights. I’m looking forward to getting back to the start of soccer season, mushroom hunting and getting the garden prepped for another good year of growing. I have to bottle “The Return of the Green Goblin” wine when I return home.
I hope you all have a great day and if your in the area for tonights showing in Yuma – I will see you on the big screen!

Today we are doing final prep on “Chasing the Star” the second film in our QUEST TRILOGY. I’m happy to announce that these three gentlemen are the actors we landed on after looking at reads from around the United States. These three are representing the Texas, South Carolina and NYC (By way of Michigan) markets. If you work hard you can make it happen from anywhere. It’s been fun to see all the artist come together – every day new props, new wardrobe tests, new gear arriving and new family. Yes. The film family is a unique experience and as a producer I’ve always strived to create an experience that people will remember. I think we’ve been doing that at Collective Development Inc. for some time. Even those early films like “From Venus” and “Heaven’s Neighbors” were filmed with great care creating lasting memories for all.
