FOR IMMMEDIATE RELEASE
DEVOR & MUDEDE ANNOUNCE THREE PROJECTS FOR ’08
“Dynasty”, “The Cloud Room” & “You Can’t Win” Follow
Up 2007′s “Zoo”SEATTLE, WA – Robinson Devor and Charles Mudede, the
filmmaking team behind the critically acclaimed
features “Zoo” and “Police Beat”, announced a slate of
new feature films for their new company “Hard Living
Pictures”.The company’s first film, “Dynasty”, is a comic fairy
tale about a middle aged couple who kill a black bear
and attempt to sell its gallbladder on the black
market for $10,000. It is being co-produced by Scott
Macaulay’s New York-based Forensic Films (“Gummo”,
“Raising Victor Vargas”, “Off The Black”). The
company’s second film, “The Cloud Room”, is an
ensemble mystery that explores the social and
psychological reverberations of cattle mutilations in
a small Montana town. It is being co-produced by
NY-based Lodge Films (“The Hawk Is Dying”) and Touchy
Feely FIlms (“Pretty Bird”). Devor and Mudede are also
signed on to make “You Can’t Win”, the autobiography
of career criminal and opium addict Jack Black,
adapted for the screen by Barry Gifford (“Wild At
Heart,” “Lost Highway”).“We wanted to make two or three films in ’08, so we
took last year off to write”, said Devor. “We’d been
thinking about animals, so “Dynasty” and “The Cloud
Room” presented themselves as a kind of animal
trilogy.”Devor and Mudede are repped by Creative Artists Agency
in Los Angeles. Devor is also repped as a commercial
filmmaker by Non-Fiction Spots, an LA & NY-based
production company that connects documentary
filmmakers with the advertising community.
