Reverse Sword Hit test

Director Joshua Siegel filmed a test shot with a Canon point & shoot to see if "reverse acting" would be an effective way of filming a quick decapitation. Watch the results!

Midsummer welcomes Dedeker Winston to the Cast as The Feyist!

Yes, I know that the Feyist picture is already up, but we thought it would be nice to actually show everyone what Dedeker actually looks like. (My fault - Steve).

Dedeker Winston has been acting, dancing, or performing for most of her life. She graduated from CSU Chico with a BA in Theatre Arts and shortly afterward relocated to LA to act professionally. She has recently made appearances in SpikeTV's "1000 Ways to Die" and The Discovery Channel's "The Science of Fear". She is currently in production for a new comedic television pilot, "$1 Book Heaven."

Midsummer welcomes editor/colorist Mike Wilhelm to the Team.

Mike Wilhelm has been involved in shooting and editing video for nearly fifteen years. He is motivated by a passion for visual storytelling. In 2005 Mike graduated from California State University Chico with a Bachelors of Arts in Communication Design. For the past five years, Mike has worked as a professional television commercial producer. Throughout his career, Mike has produced hundreds of television commercials, as well as assisted on and off set for local cinematic projects.
