Hello artists,

As many of you has been aware of, I've been planning a short fan film
since February 2004 and it is now soon to start principal photography
next week starting Oct 14 till October 17, the crew and cast of our
project is composed by members of this list and I've been very grateful
to have their expertise, support and interest in making this happening.

Unlike other projects I've done in the past whether for myself or other
performing artists and clients, this is perhaps, the most time consuming
of all, many elements within the film is to create the look and feel of
the Gotham City realm of the 60s TV show and up to the dark atmosphere
of the 90s Tim Burton's Batman movie including combining the comedy and
wire-fu stunts.

This also will have the most elaborated wire-stunt work ever done by
independent filmmakers in Cleveland (as far as I know), which we have
created a complete wire-rig tacks that novelize actors from one point to
the other. Although in stage performances, making a person fly has been
done numerous times, it is a tedious work to make sure we can do the
same in a film plus the frame-to-frame removal of the wires during post.

The reason I am mentioning this is because without the talent pool of
advisors, cast and crew that are extremely helpful and interested in
this project, this wouldn't be possible. They are putting their time and
effort, voluntarily and taking off work, plus several paying their way
flying in from Los Angeles, Boston, and Michigan. Because they believe
in the project; and because we are all has a little bit of Batman in us.

Here, I would like to formally thank them (in no particular order):
Jeffrey Lubell, Margaret Wong, May Chen, Annie Jones, Adam Glazer, Al
Tuskees, Andrew Schofield, Andrew Sokol, Annie Jones Casting, Aryavarta
Kumar, Audese Green, Bill Johns, Jeff Rodgers, Christine Chapman, Donald
Gregory, Doug Fill, Edward Ostrander, Erik Holmberg, Kathy Fitzgerald,
Janet Cannata, Debra Weiner, Joe Thompson, John Sheetz, Keith Kline,
Larry Cada, Mike Bove, Richard B. Ingraham, Robert Banks Jr., Robert
Wadden, Robyn Griggs, Stephen Lebed, Thomas S. Ballard, Timothy Gunn, TJ
Bencin, Tom Luhtala, Wayne Orris, Morgan Fox, Mark Pittenger, Talkies
Film and Coffee Bar, Kenn Szorka, Dan Wilbur, Bob Bennett, Chandler
Chapman, Dana Aritonavich, Dave Milam, David Levy, Ellen Friedman, Gerry
Keating, James Orosz, Jason Morris, Kyle Znamenak, Michael Littlejohn,
Christian Ramamacher, Cathleen S. Schmidt, Margo Maxwell, Tumblemonster
Productions and many others.

A Joker's Card is a fan film, not a commercially viable project; we
intend to give away finished project (5.1 surround sound with many
behind-the-scene clips)  and it is our interpretation of characters
created by DC Comics. For more information about A Joker's Card, please
