Our Production Designer and “Asha Sage,” Logan Howe, has gone into labor! We are all wishing her well and hope she recovers safely and quickly from the miracle of life. (For those of you who thought we couldn’t make this any crazier, we just proved you wrong.)

At long last, we have substantial and confirmed news for our summer feature project!

• The title of the film will be What Light Remains. (The name Fear Itself was scrapped due to other previously existing works by the same name).
• Our cast is complete, except for one small role. We are waiting on confirmation of an offer for that part.
• Recent additions to what has rapidly become an illustrious cast include Courtney Gains. Check out the official site for our film to learn more about his previous credits.
• Our key locations have been finalized and we are still targeting a June 1 start date.
• The film will be produced under an Ultra Low Budget Agreement with the Screen Actors Guild, allowing us the flexibility of casting both union as well as non-union actors.

Stay tuned to the official site for updates as the production gets underway!

Casting announcements for our upcoming production are imminent. In the meantime, amuse yourselves with this snippet of a day in the life of Champlain Motion Pictures…

…
Jayson: the “throwing the kid” thing makes me hate it so much
Steve: it’s a comedy
Jayson: no no no
Jayson: never okay
Steve: comic license
Jayson: it is not an “airplane” movie
Steve: i don’t get your objection
Steve: superman could realistically do it
Steve: but he wouldn’t
Steve: because he’s honorable
Jayson: the kid should have been dead from hitting his arm

On Saturday, May 10th, Champlain Motion Pictures proudly presented Jayson Argento’s first feature film, Finding Providence, at Merrill’s Roxy Theatre in Burlington, VT.  Despite an early show time of 11 AM on a beautiful Saturday, attendance was high and the endeavor was an overall success.

Many of the cast and crew were in attendance, including Jayson Argento (who also played the role of Curtis) and Logan Howe (Gwyneth), both pictured above.  Also spotted in the crowd were Jim Reid (Loy Gluckman) and local television host Tim Kavanagh.
