Michael Glover, Robyn Rosenkrantz, Paul Huebl and Gregor Marvel |
They’ve been making films with their own production company
Bright Blue Gorilla. I first met them
through their European friends after getting invited to a Hollywood Screening
of their farce film, Go With Le Flo. It
was a real Blue Carpet Event where I was handed a banana as I walked in the
door.
The Film was terrific and the reception after was filled
with cast members that flew in for the event.
It made for a delightful evening.
I knew it was just a matter of time and I’d be visiting with
them and another Berlin pal, Gregor Marvel that was in that film.
Imagine making a film in another country with several actors and
crew members that have limited English skills.
A great director knows how to get the most out of actors and doing that
with the accompanied communications challenges can be daunting. The Bright Blue
Gorilla team has delivered in spades.
Thankfully far less expensive but sophisticated filmmaking
equipment has become obtainable to these talented kids enabling their
filmmaking visions. In return they take
the audience away from their own difficulties and entertain, delight and thrill
them with their movies.
Internet Crowd-Funding has been a necessary part of their
films and it’s been paying off for everyone.
Right now they are involved in yet another project, Mr. Rudolpho’s
Jubilee. I just know it will be another fun film to watch.
I have to ask what’s next for the Bright Blue Gorilla? Will he come to the USA and make films here
too? If the monster talent agencies
(like CAA) spies ever get wind of the Gorilla they will quickly sign him up and
he may just bring his parents back to L.A.
I heard there maybe a surprise announcement regarding, Go With Le Flo next month! I wonder just what that may be?
Here is a trailer for GO WITH LE FLO!

Love me some BBG. The simplicity of their message, "stay calm and share your bananas" says it all. Super excited to see their next film.
