Hello all.
Michael Clark here from Scallywag Entertainment. For those who know me Hi, for those who don't...Hi... Will give you a brief background of who and what we do and then we will just dive into the fun. I started Scallywag Entertainment a few years back to express my inner film geek. Been in love with all things film since I was a wee lad, was lucky enough to be raised in the 70's, my favorite era of celluloid. One fateful day, May 25th 1977 that love turned into an obsession. DO ya know what that day was??? Do ya? Yup the day Star Wars was released and it changed my life. Now it wasn't like I feel in love with the Princess or I was some closet sci fi fan, but it showed me what was possible in films. I collected the toys, the posters and all the usual fare that 12 year olds love to collect but I also read anything I could find that was Star Wars. I found myself reading about John Dykstra, Ben Burt, and other faceless nobodies that were behind the scenes. The motion control cameras that were built to make the movie, the extensive sound design by Ben Burt, the model builders the prop makers, all of the stuff no one else seem to care about.... I was hooked. I wanted to be a film maker. That started my journey but sadly the teen years and puberty side tracked me into a life of girls, Van Halen, weed, girls and 80's new wave music... Funny how life gets away from ya. Fast forward to 2008, my business toppled, and lost my house in the big real estate bubble burst. I was flat broke and had nothing but my dreams. What dreams you may ask? Well to be Michael Lucas of course. I jumped back into film with both feet and started ( blindly I may add) into the unprofitable thankless job of being an independent film maker.
So here we are , 2012, I have started earning my stripes in the local film world. Made some award winning short films, some commercials and on my way to huge stardom and riches.....Well I made some films anyway. So thats the short version of Scallywag in a nut shell..Wanna know more? Didn't think so , but if you keep coming back here you will will get more info, like it or not as we all journey through the life of an independent film maker.
Thanks Michael Clark.
