SlickWill Productions began with the first
film entitled "Wash Your Hands - PSA" in 2006. It was the
first project that Mike Williams (Willy) wrote with the help of Matt
Daldoss and Justin Malloy. That year they won first place at
Indiana Senior High School's IATV Film Competition, under "Top IATV
Film of the Year," and Willy winning "Student of the Year."
After that, Willy began following a band
called "The Alluminati," from Indiana, Pa. After a
couple months of filming various live shows for the band, Willy
filmed, edited, and produced a biography for the band to add to
their merchandise. While "The Alluminati" was still a band
they decided they wanted to have an official music video for the
song Merciless. Jordan Tomb (Guitarist for The Alluminati)
wrote, edited, and directed the video. Willy filmed the video.
Near the end of 2007 "The Alluminati"
broke up and two members of the band joined a band named "Solegion."
Following the same routine as he did with "The Alluminati," Willy is
working on a biography for the band as well to add to their
merchandise. One weekend when the band was not booked
anywhere, they decided to shoot a music video for the song, Familiar
Ghosts. Willy wrote, directed, filmed, edited, and produced
the music video.
While all of this was happening, Willy took a
break to make a short film, which was a parody based off the MTV
show, "MTV Cribs." Willy filmed, directed, and produced the
film. Justin Malloy, the main actor in the film, helped Willy
write the script.
Currently SWP is in the beginning stages of
their first feature length comedy film entitled, "Kung Fu Keith."
The film draws from all aspects of the Japanese film industry.
It is a story of two guys that like to bird watch the one kids
neighbor Mary, when she sun tans outside. Her boyfriend, Mark
challenges Keith to a fight. The two boys decide that they need
to learn the ways of old-school fighting tactics in order to conquer
the evil Mark so that they can keep the one thing that makes them
happy in their lives...bird watching Mary. One of the major
spoofs is how translations from Japanese to English do not match-up
the audio with the actor's and actress's actions. All voices
will be done by Mike Williams and Matt Daldoss. The film is
planned to finished by December 2008 at the latest. This will be
the first full length movie by SWP, written and directed by Mike
Williams (Willy) and co-directed by Matt Daldoss. Starring
Chris Freeberg, Matt Daldoss, Justin Malloy, and Lizzie Stein. |
