We’re in the final stages of post production and everything is looking good. ADR has been done. And original score by JonPierre has been submitted along with some exceptional rock-n-roll music by the Watermarks. We’re at that point now where we have to think: she we move forward with the web series or should we hold out for the big guns, like Sundance or Slamdance? Either way it’s going to be a blast.
==========
We wrapped principle photography for the web series/film and now we have two scheduled pickups. One is a single-shot steadicam sequence through a 120,000 sq foot warehouse. It’s going to be nice — and bloody! The second sequence is a gunplay/fight scene. Your donation goes right to the direct production expense.
“Serious Rogers” is THE USUAL SUSPECTS meets THE PROFESSIONAL as a female assassin seeking redemption rescues a nanny caught up in deadly politics and must protect her from a drug-addicted FBI agent out for justice, a military hero out for revenge and the Mystery Man who controls their fate.
Serious Rogers is told via a fly-on-the-wall perspective as the story of Sarah “Serious” Rogers (Cooper Harris) unfolds via an interrogation scene between Trixie (Mercedes Manning) and FBI Agent Martin (Jamie Fishback). As Trixie weaves her tale about a highly skilled assassin who went berserk it becomes unclear what parts of the story are fact and which are fiction. As Trixie lures Martin in with her confounding story she begins to suspect that Martin’s intentions aren’t as noble as he claims. So the cat and mouse game continues, the roles changing back and forth.
As the story continues to unfold we learn about Ms. Rogers — the perfect assassin who suffered heartbreak and shame, turning her into an emotional unprofessional killing machine. We learn of the perverted senator, Victoria Ritchey (Amelia Pawlak), with a fetish for young women. Victoria calls in a contract hit for her nanny after she sexually assaults the young woman. We learn about Serious’ boss, the Mystery Man (Jeff Torres), a puppeteer of men who’s plugged into government and organized crime. And we learn about the rogue, drug-addicted FBI agent, Hooper (Philip Hersh), who’s life and career was ruined by the Mystery Man and now he’s out for biblical justice. Vanity (Nancy Corbo) promises to be a nemesis of epic proportions.
