Documentary subjects
1. Mark Metzger
Mark Metzger is from Toledo Ohio. I first met him 10 years ago when our bands played a show together. After the course of these 10 years Mark has gone on to start his own Screen Printing company, gone on tour over in Europe with his friends in Hit The Lights, and also maintained 2 off his own bands back in Ohio. Mark most recently started a non profit organization in his home town of Toledo after a recent water crisis called "A Greater Toledo" to gain funds to donate to water.org to help fund projects for clean water for people who need it.
2. Zack Blackwood
This is Zack Blackwood. Over the last year or so Zack and a couple of his buddies started their own business called Burn Em' Brewing, and in case you didn't know from the name, they brew beer. They have created a quick niche for themselves in a short amount of time and growing quickly, so quick that Zack was able to quit his part time job to focus on his business full time. Burn Em' is part of a tight, thriving micro bee community that helped them get their feet off the ground.
3. Jon Silveus
Jon Silveus is my dad. I know its kind of strange to want to interview my own father, but he's kind of awesome. He's a dad and a grandpa that works at a factory full time by day. But by night he helps work for Top Shot Armory selling, trading, and buying guns and ammo at their store or Gun shows. Did I mention he's also a Pit Master? He's especially into catering and barbecue competitions. He's won a great deal of awards ranging from county Fairs to nationally KCBS sanctioned events, using his own smoker/cooker and grill set ups that he has built himself.

Video Treatment
Title: Rock
N’Roll Is Back
Tagline: Rock’s
Not Dead
First you
will see the band enter an old movie theatre with ROCK N’ ROLL IS
BACK on the kiosk over head. Then we will cut to a shot of
them sitting down in a
row with food and drinks. Then the movie starts. The movie is
going to be in
black and white and
look like old monster movies.
It starts off with a far away exterior shot of a castle and
slowly fades into a dark
hallway. We look from the cameras point of view and continue
down the
hall way through a door at the end and turn the corner.
Slowly you see the camera
pan across lab equipment, jars of body parts, etc. to see
two scientist, which are
played by two band members, working over a table with a body
under a sheet.
The exam
table and scientists will be centered and show them working on
the body. An “Igor” type of character, a third band member,
walks up with a bag and
starts pulling out body parts. He delivers a heart, an arm,
and offers the scientists a
brain which they refuse. He quickly turns back around with a
guitar and the
scientists accept that.
The Igor character walks off screen while the scientists start
to add the parts to the monster on the table, the 4th
and final band member.
Igor
returns with a bowl of eyeballs and allows the scientists to pick a couple
out that he wishes to use. When the scientist starts to put
those in the body, the
camera pans back a little and Igor and the second scientist
are standing off to the
back right and the scientist in front operating becomes
blurred. Focus is now on the
two in back, Igor starts just watching and eating the
eyeballs out of the bowl like
popcorn as he watches the scientist. He offers them to the
other scientist who
refuses and appears very disgusted and Igor shrugs it off
and keeps eating as if he’s
thinking, more for me. Cut to the band in the theatre and
they kind of stop eating
their popcorn out of disgust They sew up the monster and now
its time to move him
to the reanimation chamber. The three, hilariously move this
big monsters body
down stairs and place him in the animation chamber.
The scientists are now turning on
the machine and lights start flashing and
smoke starts billowing out. One of the scientists starts
mouthing “IT’S ALIVE!!”
inserted into the frame will be a title card that says it
instead like an old silent film,
there will be others placed through out the video as well.
We cut back to the
machine being opened and as the big guitar solo comes in the
Monster emerges
from the chamber with guitar in hand wailing the solo. We
pan back to see the rest
of the band playing with him. The chamber will be in the
center with the lights and
smoke and the monster in front of it. The rest of the video
will be various shots of
the band rocking out to rest of the song like it’s a live
show, with props from the lab
and their coats and glasses draped over amps. End the video
with the credits and
pull back to see the band sitting in a theatre making
remarks about the film and
leaving film.
