To our Friends, Colleagues and Supporters:
We at Invictus Films and Lead To Gold Productions are very pleased to announce that we have contractually affirmed our alliance in the form of the "Keystone Three", or KEY3; three Philadelphia area specific films that we will develop, produce and release as part of our collaboration! These will include:
RENDEZVOUS (Director: Alexander Emmert, Written by Alexander Emmert and Jim Waltzer, based on the short story by Jim Waltzer): many of the area's talent have known about "Rendezvous" for the past four years, since it was once part of a slate of films that was to be shot in Philadelphia in '12-'13. Unfortunately, that slate fell apart for several reasons, and W/D Emmert traveled elsewhere afterwards to fulfill other personal and professional commitments. Now having returned to the area on a consistent basis, Emmert and Producer CFA Weiss, along with Lead To Gold Productions head Troy Nelson, will rebuild the project with those originally involved (whether in older or newer roles) as well as some new local allies as well! Please stay tuned for more information on this film's preproduction activities in the coming weeks!
LIGEIA (Director: Alexander Emmert, written by Alexander Emmert, adapted from Edgar Allan Poe's novella): after beginning a brief online campaign for this film two years ago (which featured many technical problems in the online platform which we were using for funding, IndieGoGo), we are going to reboot Poe's classic tale of love, death, and resurrection in a newer format, though still utilizing our prerogatives for an independent festival run. There will be new information regarding a Pennsylvania/Delaware production of the film forthcoming!
AMERICAN KIDZ (Director: Troy Anthony Nelson, written by Alexander Emmert and Troy Nelson, an original screenplay): in the first home-grown feature from Lead To Gold Productions, Troy Nelson's "American Kidz", which had a short sizzler/teaser shot and exhibited locally in the Southeastern Pennsylvania region in 2016, local development and planning has started as Emmert and Nelson complete the feature version's script. Our many local friends and colleagues who have collaborated on the initial short version of the film will soon be contacted with information about further participation and collaboration in the production!
Additionally, we are happy to announce that we will - in addition to the above titles - also add a short film production entitled "THE SIN EATERS", which will be directed by CFA Weiss, written by Emmert, and produced by Invictus Films and Lead To Gold Productions, as well as an additional, hitherto unnamed short, which will be directed by Troy Anthony Nelson. We will be pursuing additional cast and crew for these films in upcoming months.
Alexander has returned to the Northeast, and will be handling several professional, personal and family matters in the region throughout 2017-2018, and returning with him will be yet more titles, which were to be inclusions on another slate of films; these, though they had been revised to be shot and to take place elsewhere, will be restored to their originally intended settings in the region. Thusly Emmert, Weiss and Nelson will also continue to develop and produce these and other projects as collaborative coproductions that bear the name of our production shingles, Invictus Films and Lead To Gold. Alexander will be working from Malvern, Pennsylvania (near his parents' home in Valley Forge) and also the WME offices in New York, along with Christine and Troy in Chester and Montgomery counties, PA, and in the city of Philadelphia. Many other of our postproduction, distribution, musical, and other business prerogatives will take place in between shooting dates on the West Coast with the Los Angeles team, and in London, with the British and Irish squads!
We are very excited for new phase in both companies' histories, and look forward to sharing these events, projects, productions and activities with all of you! We hope that you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday season, and are looking forward to 2017 and beyond with as much enthusiasm and energy as we have! We love you, and cannot do this without you!
Most Sincerely,
Alexander Emmert
Troy Anthony Nelson
CFA Weiss
