Coming Soon…‘The Confession of John Wilkes Booth’ -Starring John Ramaine
I have had the pleasure of interviewing the talented John Ramaine, Actor, Writer, and Director in the past.
I recently learned about his upcoming project, “The Confession of John Wilkes Booth.” It was written and is starring John Ramaine. As a history buff, I was eager to learn more about his upcoming film. With the actors, producers, and crew involved, it will be a hit!
Thanks to John for taking the time to answer some questions about the film to share with my readers.
Q: Who directed “The Confession of John Wilkes Booth”?
A: There were actually two who directed the production. Initially, Josh Koehn, of Stag and Lion, directed the theatrical staging, which allowed the actors to find their grounding, as well as rehearse the role for which they were cast. After working with the actors, a couple of times, Chelsea LeSage of Golden Grand Piano, would then direct the actors, using Josh’s established blocking, in fine-tuning it for the camera, which was operated by Dan Guindon, also of Golden Grand Piano.
Q: Who are the Producers?
There were four producers who manned the actual production, and one who will handle the release and promotion of the film. Chelsea and I managed to work the finer details; the SAG/AFTRA contracts, release forms, establishing social media links, developing distribution contacts, and working out of agreements that included but were not limited to profit-sharing percentages. Dan, as producer, jumped into editing the three stages of the production; the teaser, the trailer, and the film itself — each of these having their own release dates and promotional campaigns. Josh supplied the theater space and costumes, which proved invaluable. And finally, one who was not hands-on in the production itself but will prove keenly valuable nonetheless is Karen Ammond, of KBC-Media. She will take each phase of the teaser and trailer releases and promote the project through its eventual distribution release and beyond.
