As you have no doubt deduced by my previous "La Floridiana" columns, I am a strong proponent of the independent Florida filmmaker and actor. To further broaden your awareness of their good works, I am going to take you further into that global communications domain known as the World Wide Web ("WWW").
The Internet Movie Data Base (aka "IMDb" ) In the cyberspace of the Internet Movie Data Base that's where!
This incredible web site (http://www.imdb.com) gives the subscriber a glimpse of almost every movie and associated personality to ever write, produce, direct and star in them. It was wonderful to get a glimpse of the following Florida indies:
Gus Perez (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Perez,+Gus) Jose Prendes (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Prendes,+Jose) Joel D. Wynkoop (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Wynkoop,+Joel+D.) Michael Hoffman Jr. (aka "Michael A. Hoffman") (http://us.imdb.com/Name?Hoffman+Jr.,+Michael) Where Can You Get More Information, Books, or Videos?
"Scary Tales" has a great web site, "The Official Web Site of the Movies--Scary Tales the Web Site", which features Cast, Quotes, Pictures, Interviews, the latest updates on "Scary Tales--The Return of Mr. Longfellow", and video-ordering information. "Scary Tales" is available at $29.95 and shipping at "B-Movie Theater (Sub Rosa Studios L.L.C.)". Contact them at http:/www.b-movie.com/movies/movie.php?MID=115452
Florida filmmaker Jose Prendes's book "The Harbinger" is listed at $11.95, available through Amazon.com courtesy of the IMDb.
The following movie videos also featuring Florida actor Joel D. Wynkoop are also available through Amazon.com courtesy of the IMDb.
Next Week "LaFloridiana" takes a wild romp through South Tampa as we review the latest and best book to date by Tampa author Tim Dorsey. His characters Serge Storm (a true Florida Folk Hero), Coleman and Sharon reprise themselves in a 1997 setting featuring a long suffering and rock solid Yankee transplant, Jim Davenport, in "Triggerfish Twist" See you then!
In what universe does a Tampa actor and Florida Folk Hero rub shoulders with Douglas Fairbanks Jr., Clark Gable and Al Pacino? Where do Florida film producers Jose Prendes and Michael Hoffman Jr. share center stage with fellow producers John Landis, Alfred Hitchcock and Daryl F. Zanuck?
