September 2000:  The official release date for Plunge is October 1, 2000.  The site will have photos and purchase information up by that time.

June 2000:  Please read here to find out how you can support the film by becoming a Sponsor.  The needed voice dubs are recorded and the computer editing system is getting set up this coming weekend.  A few small shots remain.  Everything is on target!

May 2000: Apart from a few small shots, principle shooting for the short film PLUNGE is complete.  A rough edit is being made right now with plans to finish the final edit by the end of summer.  PLUNGE will be available on VHS when it is completed sometime in August/early September.

March 2000: FINAL SCENES are scheduled for March 19th.  Editing will begin in April.  Take a look at the publicity stills and behind the scenes photos of the cast in crew in action on the Production page.

Shooting began on August 22, 1999. We shot the majority of the river/factory scenes, and fortunately it was a fairly nice day. We have also shot one of the classroom scenes, the hallway, and all of the pool and underwater shots as of September 15. Everything has turned out wonderfully.  Written by Michael Kouroubetes (co-writer/assistant director Bloodlines, writer/producer A:kill) and directed by Tim Richardson (writer/director Revelations, co-writer/director Bloodlines, director A:\kill) this short has plans to be entered in any of the many video festivals across the country.  It stars Joseph Scheibelhut (Boys in Black, Revelations, Bloodlines) who has has gained much notoriety on the net as a result of high exposure on the Young Male Star Homepage, various interviews, and his very active official fan club which assists a literacy program in California. Chicago stage actor Randy Colborn has joined the cast. Jamie Talboom (Revelations, A:\kill) and George Schricker (A:\kill) have signed on as well. Go to the photo gallery to see stills from the film's progress.
 

5-27-99:A rehearsal was held in late May at the river filming site. American Teen Video Magazine Producer Bob Lamb came out to get some shots for their video and do an interview with Joe. It was an overcast day, which actually worked well with the tone of the scene. The test gave us a good sense of what to expect as far as audio and lighting for shooting the real deal in August. A rehearsal at the pool location will be set up during the summer.
