The truth behind "Reynolds City".
The budget for this film was $5,000 and it was a grueling task to finish. I'm very happy with the outcome. People tell me they are fully entertained by the story, action and musical soundtrack. The title of the film is an homage to Burt Reynolds since I was a huge fan of his from the 70's and 80's.
The opening titles to this film is similar to the opening of "Sharky's Machine". Anyone who is a Burt Reynolds fan will definitely see what I did at the start. Over the course of 7 months I pieced this together since my auto interior repair business was primarily funding my film projects and it always took time to raise money for the continued productions process.
I met actor Peter Speach through a friend's acquaintance cousin. Sounds odd but he called me on the phone one day, we met for coffee and immediately I pictured him as the corrupt Mayor in this film. Lisa Chelenza and I met on a small horror film I had a tiny role in and she mentioned how she wanted to be the lead in an action film. So naturally, when I started this film I offered her the role if she wanted it. Also, she was a voice on Central NY radio TK99 Gomez and Dave show in the mornings. A strong comparison, she's the Robin Quivers of that classic rock radio station. It came in handy when it was time to promote the film because we had a ton of free promotion. Gomez and Dave also had cameos near the end of the picture.
