Fearless Kid Makes A Movie

By Biagio on June 29, 2010 in Case Studies, Featured Post, Scream Queens with 20 Comments

Filmmakers and TV producers dream of creating work that changes lives. Inspires people in some way. Affects even the smallest change in our every day world.

Today, a 15 year old filmmaker in Toledo, Ohio, has become our inspiration.

Make a Wish

Albert Bryant, suffering from a form of Mitochondrial Myopathy, a muscular disorder, watches our TV show Scream Queens. At the end of last season, he shared his one request with the Make-A-Wish Foundation: to meet Scream Queens’ acting coach John Homa.

Never Stop Dreaming

Albert says the meeting inspired him to make his own movie, and that’s just what he did. Shaving his 86 page original script to 25 pages due to “budget concerns” Albert’s now in production on his first film, “Vampire Chicks.” Total budget: $140.

Albert, You da’ Man

You’ve got more courage and determination than the most hardened of Hollywood moguls. We’re honored that you’re a fan of John and the show. The whole Scream Queens family is a fan of yours.

You are a shining example of what we call a Hands-On Producer, and we can’t wait to see your movie!

    Heck, I’d come out of acting retirement to be in his film! It sounds way cooler than my time on Kenan and Kel!

    Hi Albert, want to wish you all the best with your film “Vampire Chicks” Great title. Just read your story. Not many people inspire me, but you are certainly one of them! Agree with you about Hitchcock too. He was the man!

    All the best bro and look forward to seeing your film. You rock dude!

    Albert, we should all be so motivated and focused. Plus, your practicality (shaving down your script) shows great maturity. Congratulations on making the decision, sticking to it, and doing what it takes to get it done. Best of luck!

    Way to go, Albert! Keep at it, I’m betting you can get Biagio out of retirement if you’re persistent enough. :-)
