My good friend Vance Major allowed me to have a sneak peak at something he has been working on for the last 2 years as a labor of love with his son Royce, which is “The Constar Movie”. Basically Vance, Royce and all their friends and fellow film makers and actors got together and made a love letter for Royce.
The version I just watched is ROUGH, I mean, it hasn’t gone through post production, nor has it been edited together, so its just a playlist of individual scenes. but the highlight from the whole thing is Royce Major. He plays his role with the child like exuberance that a child should have. Every scene with him in it, is a dose of fresh air, because you can tell he is trying to act like a grown up actor, but his childhood fun shines through.
I could list everyone who helped out with this movie, but it would be a very long list and take the spotlight off Vance and Royce, and I really do not want to do that. Being friends with Vance, and watching Royce grow up through Facebook posts and YouTube videos has been fun, and reminds me that we should never leave that small part of child like wonder alone for too long.
I think this will be another great entry into “the life of Minard and the Constar”. I look forward to the completed film with all the bells and whistles mixed in. There are also various “thanks to people” in the credits, that show how much the film community helped with this production. Another “no budget” full of love production.
