Major film helps put N.B. on the map

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

Sean Patterson has at least 15 years of film experience behind him to prepare for his first gig as first assistant director for the recently completed Global Universal Inc. production “American Sunset”. The Saint John native played a major role in the overall process of guiding the shoot, aligning himself with Director Michael Masucci’s vision and perception of every scene. He then ensures the set synchronicity reflects what the director requires, even demands.

To do the job you must be a master of all trades (if not in practice, at least in theory) to obtain the maximum from any and all skills required on set. You have to know what asking others to do is possible, practical, effective and safe. You have to be clear and concise, communicate effectively “” your call is the production’s command to do something and their work/safety is in your hands. You must be decisive while under time and budget constraints. A movie set is a constantly… READ MORE

N.B. actress gets her break

Thursday, June 4th, 2009

angelac“Isn’t it ironic?” laments Alanis Morissette, but living proof is soon to be displayed, for all to see, by Angela Cullins, as the lead actress in the Global Universal Inc. feature film “American Sunset”. Playing alongside the reenergized Corey Haim and New York’s dynamo Frank Molina in this suspense-filled thriller, written and produced by Jackie Giroux, Cullins is ecstatic. “My dream is coming true, hell it’s every actor’s dream, to have a lead role in a major production,” proclaims Cullins. “I have to almost pinch myself because not only has it happened but to have it happen here in New Brunswick is surreal!”

American Sunset, shot in the Moncton and Fredericton area, is a suspense-filled turnstile of emotional demons engulfing one man’s obsession to be in the real moment amidst his wife’s abduction by a man he believes is a crazed kidnapper. Corey Haim plays “Tom”, an ex-soldier home from Iraq who is on the edge as the police are unable to help find his wife “Samantha” (Angela Cullins). As Giroux says “a sinister voice calls up and gives clues that must be followed. It’s completely action-filled; you have no idea who… READ MORE

Thriller wraps up filming in N.B.

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

American Sunset shot in Moncton, Fredericton, Parlee Beach

american-sunset-1

A second major movie to be filmed in Moncton in as many years is wrapping up production downtown.

The film, American Sunset, is scheduled for release this summer. The popular teen movie Growing Op, released last year, was also filmed in Moncton.

The film is produced by Global Universal Inc. out of Hollywood, but most of the 40-person cast and crew is from New Brunswick.

“It’s been really great for me,” said Nicky Destres, production manager and Moncton native. “It’s been giving me the opportunity to prove myself in the New Brunswick market.”

This is Destres’ first time as a production manager for a feature film.

“New Brunswick film is underrated, but I’m hoping this film will change things,” Destres said.

The film was originally set for the … READ MORE

Local actress’s talent ‘knocked our socks off’

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

Corey Haim may be hoping for a comeback with his latest movie, one of his first top billings after years of struggling with addiction.

But American Sunset may be a bigger boost to a local rising star.

Angela Cullins, the thriller’s leading lady, hails from Hartland. She said the film gave her a rare opportunity.

“I was thrilled when I read (the script) and found out who I was working with, because not much is offered to Canadian talent in regard to female leads,” Cullins said.

“We get the leftovers because people just don’t give new talent a chance. There’s not an opportunity to excel and grow here without projects like this coming to our area.”

Jackie Giroux, American Sunset’s writer and producer, said she wanted to come back to Fredericton after shooting her last film, Blue Seduction, here in October. She said she wanted to take advantage of the scenery, crew members and extras the area has to offer.

Giroux said she especially wanted another chance to work with Cullins, who auditioned for a role opposite Billy Zane in Blue Seduction, but was passed over because the director felt she was too pretty for the part.

“The first time she walked in, I thought she was Charlize Theron. I’d never seen … READ MORE

N.B. scenery the real star of American Sunset, actors say

Film | Producer says tax rules need to change if N.B. wants to star in more films

Corey Haim may be the star of American Sunset, but he said New Brunswick had the biggest role to play in making the film one of his best

american-sunset-2

“The location has made it such a better movie,” said the star of such hits as The Lost Boys during a news conference at the Delta Fredericton Hotel on Friday. “You can actually see the river. There’s no yellow clouds of smog (here). It all feels so real.”

“I think New Brunswick is the first character in the film,” said co-star Frank Molina, who’s been shooting scenes with Haim and the rest of the cast at Kings Landing Historical Settlement, El Burrito Loco and other Fredericton hot spots this week.

“The whole area, to me, worked (for) the trials and tribulations of our (characters’) demons. In scenes, I’m looking around and I forget that I’m working, because I’m just so overwhelmed by the beauty. It wouldn’t have worked anywhere else.”

But Jackie Giroux, the film’s writer and producer, said the … READ MORE
