DJ
Perry and Jeff Kennedy’s Michigan based film company Collective Development
Inc. has always been associated with diverse artistic talent. The company
boasts several in-house writers, directors, producers and tight circles of
experienced film talent. Together they
have been steadily hammering away at the film industry by releasing film after
film in various genres worldwide.
Recently the company has been associating with some new exciting
artists/filmmakers. Below are some of the 2012 films moving into distribution.
This
week at the Grand Rapid’s Celebration Cinema North (Knapp Corner) “7 Stones” a
powerful action/drama will show on May 17th, at 7 pm. This will
serve as a preview before the film starts a campaign of theatrical and festival
showings. The TV film was written and directed by Tom Norton and stars Melissa
Anschutz and DJ Perry. The story takes place in a South American prison and has
strong themes of reflection, redemption and relatable topics pulled from
current headlines.
CDI
also associated with Yuma, AZ based filmmakers Charles Pisaeno and Robert Gwinn
with the production of “Deadly Renovations”. The film is a tense thriller about
greed and murder centered on the historic Hotel Del Sol. The sales trailers can be seen www.deadlyrenovations.com. The film is due out domestically on August 7th,
2012 with Midnight Releasing after a limited theatrical.
To
tell a story halfway around the world CDI associated themselves again with
award-winning director Anthony Hornus (An Ordinary Killer) on his first
documentary film entitled “Outside the Wire, Forgotten Children of
Afghanistan”. This film has played several festivals and venues across the
country aligning itself with major organizations like The Wounded Warrior
Program.
Another
exciting international association came when CDI joined with Philippine based
film company Gothic Pictures International. Noel Tan directs this “found
footage” horror film entitled “Darkest Night”. Demonology and witchcraft plague
a Christmas gathering that had 17 people mysteriously disappear. The film is prepped for worldwide theatrical
and will screen in Hollywood for distributors in June. A series of trailers can
be seen our their website. www.darkestnightmovie.com
The
horror/thriller vein is strong with CDI’s association with At Risk
Entertainment with “Locked in a Room”. This psychological mind tease packs a
powerful scare factor. It was directed by Larry Simmons and stars Robert Miano,
Rae’Ven Larrymore Kelly, Carlucci Weyant and DJ Perry. It has started playing in Limited theatrical
with Rocky Mountain Pictures booking.
