SANTA MONICA, Calif.,
Dec. 16, 2013 /PRNewswire/ --
RegalWorks Media, Inc. (OTC Markets & OTCBB: RWMI) today
announced several key developments on its first feature film,
Jake's Run. "With two additional films expected to be
green lit in the next few weeks, we felt it was important to create
momentum on Jake's Run heading into the New Year," said
Dane West, RegalWorks CEO.
According to Adam Miller,
president of Genesis Pictures, RegalWorks' production partner,
"Having financing in place has allowed us to engage our casting
director, Joey Paul Jensen ("Soul
Surfer," "Hey, Arnold: the Movie," "Space Warriors," "That's So
Raven"). Her extensive experience in family oriented TV and
film projects and deep network in the industry has helped us
identify prospective cast that will be known and loved by audiences
around the world." Targeted cast for several lead roles and their
agents have been contacted and offers have been extended.
Another key development has been the selection of Charlotte, NC as the location for principal
photography. "The production team has conducted extensive
location scouting and has selected Charlotte because of its access to skilled
crew, suitable shooting locations, and a state of the art
production studio," states Mr. Miller. The state also has one
of the most favorable film incentive programs in the country.
In addition, a studio distribution commitment is pending and is
expected to be announced soon.
Jake's Run is based upon the true-life events of
Jake Porter, who won ESPN's ESPY
Award for the Most Inspirational Player in 2003. Jake has a
severe form of autism known as "Fragile X Syndrome," but through
his invincible courage and the steadfast determination of his
mother, Jake breaks through the adversity and social prejudice of a
small Ohio town and dramatically
transforms the life of the football coach. He won the respect
not only of those around him but of millions who thrilled to his
astonishing story in events that were re-played on ESPN, YouTube
and other social media. Jake was featured on ESPN, Sports
Illustrated, USA Today
and elsewhere.
