“Inked” Takes Off & “WISP” Casting News

fred-zeiber-02

If you’ve been following me on Facebook at all during the last 6 weeks, you’ve no doubt heard plenty about “Inked in Erie”.

It’s a Reality TV show we’ve been producing for start up Cable Network
I AM TV Erie, which can be found on the Time Warner Cable System at Channel 180 in Erie County.

It’s actually the reason it’s taken me awhile to get back to the Production Blog. I’ve been, well… in production.

The I AM TV Network went into ‘Soft Launch’ this week, testing the network and adding programming to the schedule. It’s a bit of Erie History happening right now, with a brand new Cable TV network launching. It’s not something you see every day around here, and it’s been an awesome experience to be involved.

I’m proud to say our show “Inked in Erie” was the first to air on the network during the initial test, so we made history once again.

If you don’t live in Erie, or don’t have Cable, don’t’ worry. You can check out the show at the Official Show Site on the web, and it will be coming to your usual ‘Digital Outlets’ soon.

While we’ve been busy producing the new show, we haven’t slowed progress on pre-production for “WISP”.

A casting change has just been made, with Paul Marcinaro Solinger taking the roll of not one – but TWO characters, playing both of the “Klem Sisters”.

And just as a bit of a tease, I’ll let you know that we’re on the trail of a Horror Movie Icon that will change our cast list from “Incredible” to “Unbelievable”.

Stay tuned… there’s lots more to come.

Johnny Solinger Starts “WISP” Soundtrack

Johnny Solinger

It’s a little early to be picking songs for the soundtrack, but Johnny Solinger sent me a wicked little tune in the mail that could have been written for “WISP”.

If you don’t recognize his name, you’ll recognize his voice as the long time front man for the infamous hard rock band Skid Row.

Having just completed the new Skid Row album “United World Rebellion Chapter 1” and embarking on a World Tour with ‘The Skids’ in April, Johnny Solinger has still managed to carve out a remarkable solo career with his own brand of gritty Country Rock.

The song is “F.U.C. Me Coming” off his recent solo CD “Chain Link Fence” and when you hear it, I think you’ll understand what I’m talking about.

You can check out the whole album on Spotify or you can buy the single now on Amazon.com for $0.99

Either way, give this one a listen. It kicks ass.

“F.U.C. Me Coming” is the beginning of a, uhm… killer soundtrack.

The shear volume of talent that is lining up for this film is already beyond my wildest expectations. “WISP” is going to be one for the record books.
