Brandy Brook Production News 2011

Brandy Brook Production News:
Hi Gang! "Welcome!" It's Dave, there's more to tell than I can go into at present. This will be a 'very busy year'.
We formed a new company to specialize in "bringing entertainment resources
together" called, 'Eclecttico'. We are Illinois people that want to bring
films to our great state. As long as Illinois keeps it affordable to make movies
here, we will be here. There are great Production Incentives in a few states
we're looking at. We also have interests in partnering around the world, doing the business of making Films.
We've been working with writers/producers/and investors to
get feature films going, that will prove to be monumental.

I've included some of my favorite photos for your enjoyment on this blog.
The Dates with each of the photo's Do Not correspond..(the dates are there only to keep them in the order they are in..)

Patience, persistence and great scripts', are all you need. "Believe me , I'm a producer!" (from the play, The Producers).
More updates to come. Check out a few pictures at the end of the blog of my trip to China (SHANGHAI is Fantastic) and "I'm headed back for EXPO 2010"May 1st- October 31st, followed by a Video clip, called "Gone Fishin' "shot in Panama.
"Thanks to you all from around the World" for clicking on my Site Map on the end of this blog!

A view of downtown from a favorite spot.

Chicago..South Side!
Photo taken by my pal Peter Pintozzi
on a COLD winter night.

My first speaking part in a movie 'bout 15yrs. ago

I played a "Hippy College Proffessor" from the sixties.

You know..Flower Power ..Beads..Berkley..Be sure to wear.. A flower in your hair...
Note: the 'hair'..didn't shave for a few weeks either. I guess I looked the part.
That's when, I decided I'd rather be on the other side of the camera.

Fishin' is sooo goood !

When you catch fish like this
in Panama with your best pals..all day long...of different speices..and getting larger..with every other cast..HEAVEN

OK I love to fish...

Like I said they just get bigger and bigger. Don't think I want to fish anywhere but here again, thanks to Geano and Sam and Rosemary for shareing this slice of fishing paridise with me.

Acouple of kids from the village
near the camp we stayed while fishing in Panama this last summer.

"BRANDY BROOK", it is real !

It's hard to see..but it is a real part of my family
history. It was built by my great
Uncle, from logs on the property and a saw-mill from the late 1800's, and purchased by my Grandfather, who also helped build it, as a young man. My folks live there in the summer. I spent a lot of my childhood there. My father keeps it in golf course condition/resort quality.
It's breathtaking, just being there! God, I love this place!

Barry Goldwater and my Pal Geno

'G Man,' as I refer to him, is a part of Brandy Brook
and my good pal.He has a good eye for a still shot and has been published in magizines, newspapers and books. Geno grew up calling him "Uncle Barry".
I'd tell you more but...

Eddie Munster! and Dave (Me)

Shot a scene with Butch Patrick, aka 'Eddie Munster',
He's a super dude! No, I don't think he's flashin' a gang sign.

Shot a couple of scenes with Larry Thomas

Larry, aka 'The Soup Nazi' from 'Sienfeld', was a joy to work with!
He's a kind, polite man and all around good dude. "NO SOUP FOR YOU!"

My Pal Arthur from Australia and Steve from Jerry Springer

Arthur stays with me for a few days a year in Chicago.
I took him to meet up with Jerry Springer and his crew.
He's known "Down Under" as Australia's Meanest Traffic Cop!
They looked like "twin brothers of different mothers"!
