Neal Fredericks' Birthday!!!
People! My people! Sorry we've all been out of it for so long, but we've been going through some things over here, things that I can't really talk about yet, but things that will make you glad you’re not a filmmaker, if you aren’t a filmmaker, and if you are a filmmaker, things that will make you very glad that you’re not us. We’ll hopefully be able to talk very soon.
In the meantime, it’s NEAL FREDERICK’S Birthday today, and to honor our friend and collaborator, I’ve put up a few pictures here that I just found in a box of his old junk in my basement.
Above is Neal at Towson, trying to look cool. He didn’t smoke, so I’m not sure what was going on here.
Ann Lu’s film EROSION just came out on DVD and I think it’s Neal’s greatest work of cinematography. Check out the website (another KARCHER work of genius) and rent or buy the DVD. It’s on NETFLIX, HOLLYWOOD VIDEO and BLOCKBUSTER.COM. It’s a pretty cool movie and be sure to check out the doc that is on there, which I think is one of the best making-of films I've ever seen.
Above, Neal in his luxurious room in Orlando that he shared with Mike Monello. We were editing GABRIEL’S DREAM and broke but having the time of our lives.
This one brought me back to a time when I had a ridiculous amount of hair and we all could’ve used some fashion consultants. This was in 93 or so, at the premiere of a film called OSCEOLA SHERIFF’S OFFICE, but later changed to MIAMI BEACH COPS, even though it had nothing to do with Miami AT ALL. Neal and Dan worked their asses off on this film and got nothing except a close run-in with a runaway van and a massive fire-ball that almost killed them. Other than that, it was a great shoot.
From left, that’s right, that’s Dan Myrick, looking quite frosty-haired and all, our man Neal, my then girlfriend and now wife Stefanie, me in the back, looking all...hell, I don't know, my in-laws Billy and Tina Plank, a long-haired Mike Monello behind them, a very young BLAIR WITCH and ALTERED composer Tony Cora, Stef’s sister and BLAIR WITCH PA Carolyn DeCassan, and our good friend from Montgomery College and UCF, Pete Rohan. Man, that was quite a while ago.
Anyway, Happy Birthday, Neal! We miss you and your stinky pinky every day, my friend! I love you, man.Neal Fredericks' Birthday!!!
