An 800 lb Monster at Full Speed



"Blood of Ohma" has been almost 2 years in development, so I take a certain pleasure in finally having some forward momentum on the project.

'Momentum' is an understatement really, because this week we saw Ohma get up to a full speed run.

First, the Official Movie Site is live. For right now, you can take a look at the full cast and see who's on the Principal Crew. The 'Video Blog' button is going to bring you right back here, where I'll be documenting our hunt for Ohma with the help of Ron Vollentine who will be our Set Photographer.

Our first Video Blog features The French Creek Valley Trading Post, which will be the 'Oddities Shop' we open the movie on and where you'll first meet Jody. Here's Marie Madison, giving us the 'Walk Thru' in 3D. If you don't have 3D Glasses handy just select 'Turn Off 3D' from the 3D Menu.



Principal Photography begins July 18th and runs thru August 1st.  So, that's 'Handled'.

Now that I was able to lock in the Production dates, I was able to finalize the cast and the principal crew. This isn't news if you're following along on Facebook, but I'm proud to announce that Angelina Leigh has joined the cast of "Blood of Ohma" as 'Anna', co-starring opposite Larry Laverty.

Joining the crew is Bobby Jones as 2nd Unit Director. He'll be coming off principal photography on his own "Girl Scout Cookies" which will be arriving later in the year (or whenever he decides to unleash it on us).

Also, Dustin Austin will be doing a couple of tricks with 3D Digital Effects. He was the Director of Photography on Jason Hull's "The Four" which just wrapped photography a week or so ago.

Today, I am heading out to what I hope will be the principal location for most of the shoot. It's several acres located in the middle of nowhere, where we'll be unleashing the hunt for Ohma and film the tragic events that unfolded on Jody's family a long time ago.

More photos and video from the set soon.

What the F*ck is a "War Dog"?


If you're following any part of the Maddy G Productions 'Network', you've no doubt seen this "War Dogs" art popping up. So, what the fuck is a "War Dog"?

It's a new Original Series for MaddyGTV that is scheduled to Premiere during the Fall Sweeps this September. The six episode First Season tells the tale of an average guy who finds himself involved in an underground fighting circuit that turns out to be way more devious than just 'fighting'. It features the area's best indie film actors and the region's fiercest MMA Fighters in a throw down that has more twists and turns than the Malaysian Grand Prix.

Plus, it's got some fucking smoking hot bitches in it.

I managed to lure Anna Davidova out into the open once again. If you thought she scared the shit out of you in "House of Bedlam", you're not gonna believe what she's gonna make you do after this one.

"War Dogs" is actually my second date with Angelina Leigh. I worked with her on Snowdog Studio's "The Four" on which I was a Production Assistant. I'm proud to be getting the chance to direct her on this.

And it wouldn't be a GMD Films without everyone's favorite Bad Girl, Marie Madison.


It's probably not what you've heard. With her name above the front door, you already know what to expect from Maddy, but this show might surprise even her hardcore fans as she returns as a villian you're going to love to hate.

And this is just the start of it. We're in the earliest stages of casting, so I'll be updating you as we round out the ensemble. There are 17 characters in the first season alone, so we'll have a lot to talk about in the coming weeks.

This whole thing is the brain child of "Blood of Ohma" scribe Adam Moore. This isn't officially our second colaboration, it's more like a race to see which one we can finish first.

Because that's how we roll.

We're just getting started on "War Dogs" so if you want to be a part of it, either as a cast member or crew, then e-mail me right away. We're on the prowl for some serious athletes too, so if you are a local MMA Fighter, Boxer, Wrestler or if you can just seriously kick a guy's ass... then body slam my inbox.

If you're dying for some "Blood of Ohma" news, just relax. It's being 'handled'.

We're seriously just waiting for the world outside to grow into a little color and we'll be shooting.

Oh, and we have to build a life size dead horse.

And we have to find a late 70's Family Roadster.

And we gotta nail down that 'Oddities Shop' location.

And I gotta go meet the live horse who's playing the dead horse.

But other than that... yeah, we're almost there.

Stay tuned folks... it's gonna be an interesting summer.
