Saturday morning coffee and just a beautiful day here in Michigan. FULL MOON today so good energy is abound. Yesterday we scouted 2 locations for our western town and I think we locked our location for the town in "Wild Michigan"! We looked at an old western town that opened around 1964 much like Ghost Town in the Sky and they have so many 1800 period items but this is the last season. It is sad because I went there as a young boy and loved it. It was in bad shape and we would have to work around the packing up of items for sale. It was sad because the town was in bad repair even from three years ago. Even more great actors are reading the script and we are bringing on a casting agent from LA for two of our major roles. I wanted to announce that 3 of our early films are again coming to horror fans in great box sets. They can be found on amazon.com 1) Bloody Nightmares - featuring "FROM VENUS" (Aug 19) 2) Catacombs of Creepshow - featuring "In the Woods" (Aug 19) 3) Mortuary of Madness - feauring "Knight Chills" (Aug 19) And the one that EVERYONE has been waiting for "Ghost Town the Movie" pre-sales have begun some order your DVD's now at - http://www.amazon.com/Dean-Teasters-Ghost-Town/dp/B001DZOCVY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=dvd&qid=1218770443&sr=1-1 Back to work on some script writing and20another cup of coffee! Happy weekend to you all! DJ |

LIONSGATE to release "GHOST TOWN" in US and Canada October 28th, 2008! Get ready! Included here is a pic and the story that ran in NYC. "Ghost Town" also won an award at the Action on Film Fest for Best Costumes. I'm sending that picture as well. |

| International sales on "GHOST TOWN" will start soon so all those fans worldwide we hope to get the film out to you very soon. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| We are heavy into the final financial stuff for "Wild Michigan" which is slated to start rolling cameras in the fall before the snow falls. Casting and crewing is almost complete and we have the script out to a few great actors and I'm happy that this film may finally get shot.
Ben Stiller was talking about that in Playboy that projects often take years to launch because of so many factors. I guess it is the same at various levels of the game. Don't hate the playa, hate the game...I can't because I love the game! This week is location scouting with director Jeff Kennedy and I'm producing with Tony Hornus and Dean Teaster with newbie John Demarco. I have to wrap this short because I have lots of final paperwork with Michigan Film office and SAG. Fun! More soon! DJ DJ Perry CEO, Collective Development Inc. www.cdiproductions.com |

Hazelnut coffee is flowing. I woke up late after last nights 20 year class reunion from Sexton High School. It was nice to see and talk with some old school mates. Actually many good friends were not there but it was fun to see those faces again. I had flown in from LAX and arrived at 11:00 pm so jet lag and a late night had me sleeping in. Long short is I missed one of our family reunions today. I have a soccer match later in the day so the added sleep helped. In Pasadena "GPS" won an award for Best Action Film and "Ghost Town" won for Best Costumes. John Savage (The Deerhunter) was given a Lifetime award and I had a chance to talk with him and he was very kind. Michael Madsen was there and got an achievement award and also Ernie Reyes Jr. sat nearby and so we chatted for just a quick moment. He and his group won a few awards for their movie "Red Canvas" ! I'm ready to focus and try to finalize all the financing on "Wild Michigan" with our team. It is a new process we are working with and so it has been difficult. We have a large press release coming out Monday announcing our release date with "Ghost Town" and our distributor Lionsgate. I will send this out late this evening so as to not spoil the release. We saw the artwork and such in CA and it looks great! We will also be doing a special edition release just for the theme park. We are looking at the options of releasing at the park in 2008 with pre-orders or 2009 at the opening of the park in the spring. I've been working hard on the 6th draft of "Silent Night in Algona" and that is going great. My writing on "Timberwolf" which will be Dean's next director project is also moving along and coming upon the half way mark. I have to say for all the sun and glitz of Hollywood I love coming back to Michigan. That red carpet world is not real and I love the process of making these films and I like my simple grilling and chilling in between projects. The funny thing is chilling does not mean NOT working. My head is always wrapping around projects and solutions often come over a glass of red wine watching coals char a good steak! August is here and I hope for all the great artists in our industry that the Michigan market keeps blowing up. Google Dean Teaster's "Ghost Town the Movie" and you should see the official press release. Have a great week! DJ |

HEADING HOME! Dressed up and did the whole glitzy film festival thing at Kevin Costner's place in Pasadena. Nice surf & turf and a few captain and cokes. John Savage from "Deerhunter" was there and was very nice. Michael Madsen got up and spoke for a few and in the end we had a win for "Ghost Town" in Costumes and a Best Action Film of the Year for "GPS." A few red carpet photos and it was back to my buddy Dave's for Jack in the Box tacos and packing. We are still pounding away trying to get our foundation in place on "Wild Michigan." We are close and so I sincerely hope we can launch that project. I've got some writing to finish up on and we'll have promotion leading up to the October 28th release of "Ghost Town." The coffee pot is gurgling so that means java time! I'm almost packed so a quick shower and I'll be off in 2 hours. It has been wonderful seeing some fellow actors and friends this trip. I have a class reunion when I get home so that will be fun to catch up on old classmates. Take care! DJ |

California dreamin'! Had my coffee and I've been a busy bee trying to work with the team to get all the pieces in place for "Wild Michigan" this fall. It is a new process and so a bit more crazy but that is anytime you have to run a new process. The Action on Film screenings went great and I was happy that we could play the "Ghost Town" film for our CA friends and also for general movie goers. We already have our distribution lined up and we even saw the artwork-COOL STUFF! The release date is October 28th and we now have the gag order off us but next week we will do a major PRNewsWire release. I will say that there is a jungle cat in the distributors name. "GPS" was awesome to see back to back with "Ghost Town." It was a very good film and I know they are working to pick the right distributor. It will be a good year of releases. I got to see some friends and cast members and some nice folks from the festival. We had a few nice meals and toasted a few drinks poolside for all the hard work. I'm now in Marina Del Ray staying with my buddy Dave Borowicz and we have been kicking back while doing some business. The awards deal is on Thursday and I'm representing both "Ghost Town" and "GPS" that I helped produce. I hope they both take a few honors! There is my quick two cent update! More later! DJ |

| QUESTIONS FROM DOWN UNDER & UPDATE
JULY, 22nd 2008 Hello Lindy! My apology to you for the delayed response and to Pepper who said 20 days had gone by since my last update. We leave Thursday for Pasadena to see the screenings of "Ghost Town" and "GPS" both are up for numerous awards at this Action on Film Festival. Win or lose we will have fun for sure. Always good to see old friends like the big T. Knox. I mentioned my co-starring amigo because I see a few of these questions discuss our friend T. Knox. Hi DJ. My name is Lindy. I'm an Aussie and a huge "Tour of Duty" and Terence Knox fan. DJ: I knew it. (Smile) Lindy: I am also an online friend of your very talented webmistress Pepper, as Ive chatted to her for a few years on the Tour of Duty messageboards. DJ: Yes Pepper is a big TOD fan so you are in good company. Lindy: I recently purchased the DVD of "An Ordinary Killer" (which was an unbelievably good film by the way) I really was most impressed. DJ: Honestly, thank you! I feel that film has not gotten the release that it should have and we are working on a few new deals with that movie. I can confirm that Tony is developing a new script with my Detective Lynn Kendall at the heart of it. I don't know if T. Knox is involved yet. Lindy: Ive also heard a lot about "Ghost Town" and hope to acquire that on DVD too. DJ: Oct. 28th timeframe is what I'm hearing but sometime before Halloween we hope you have a hot little DVD in your little hands! Lindy: I was extremely disappointed when I couldn't get enough funds to go to Maggie Valley for the premiere with Amy, Trish and Pepper. But I'd already had the privilege of going to L.A. that same year and I got to meet Terry Knox and a few other cast members at the Tour of Duty mini-convention. So I shouldn't complain too much LOL. DJ: I would say that you made out just right. It is a long flight from down under to the mountains of Maggie Valley. Gas prices! It was a good time had by all and I love the fact that they came out and supported the film. More and more we have fans flying in from all over and I think that is just great. We make these films for all of you out there. So again, thank you. Lindy: I'd like to ask you what it was like working with Terence Knox? DJ: Big T. Knox was all about "watch and learn" and I did. He has a powerful demeanor on camera and we really clipped right off the get go. He still gives me a hard time about the scene when we were fanning out to cover the grounds looking for Dee's body. Did I tell you we were talking about "An Ordinary Killer" ?? Anyway a squirrel or something was running up above and so I looked up. Knox see's me looking up into the treetops and he gave me a really hard time... well to this day. We laugh about that everytime we get together. You fans will also love him in "Ghost Town." He and I don't interact much but he plays a cool mayor. I needed someone powerful because otherwise Bill McKinney will walk right over them. Reseach Bill McKinney and you'll know who I'm talking about. And also Tony Becker, if its not betraying a confidence? Tony Becker is the biggest son of a bit...just kidding. Tony Becker is another PRO in every sense of the word. I enjoyed having him on our film "Ghost Town" and I hope to work with him again. He is truly professional and a great actor. If you don't see Tony working much that would be because Tony doesn't want to because he is very good! He and I had some good scenes together. Also Becker and Knox shared a few scenes together as well. Lindy: I'd also like to ask how you go about finding the most suitable actors for your movies? DJ: Right look, marketability, off set attitude. I don't do the diva or spoiled actor thing. We usually hire 98% of the time off recommendation. The vouch is really for their behavior and the other factor is just them fitting the role. Many people use a casting agent and we may soon for a few roles but I like casting via recommendation because there is accountability. Lindy: How did Terry and Tony get chosen for their roles in "Ghost Town?" DJ: Terry was cast in our minds early as I stated we needed someone tough to play opposite McKinney. I didn't want the typical wussy mayor you always see in westerns. He has some grit and muscle himself. Terry was the political while McKinney was the corporate business. Tony was almost in "An Ordinary Killer" there was another role and then when we had a drop out on a different actor due to schedule we thought of Tony Becker. If movies were a sport then Tony would have been a great pick up. He brought more to the role than what was on the page. Lindy: Do the actors/ actors agents usually come to you? Or do you advertise? DJ: More actors are coming to us now that we are getting a good reputation as a production company. We are really getting to a point of making some good material. Otherwise we seek out like Tony Hornus knew he wanted someone like Knox. He had a list of about 3 actors he really liked. Knox was enthusiastic and I think that won the day. Lindy: For the record, I think Terry was perfect in the role of Ben Bannister in "An Ordinary Killer." DJ: We thought so too:) Lindy: And you were just terrific in the role of Lynn Kendall. You both gave your characters such warmth and realism. DJ: Thank you again. Lynn Kendall has much more of himself unexplored. His personal life was left somewhat out of "An Ordinary Killer" and I think that was part of the lure of revisiting that character. Also the story line is very good. It is a sequel but also it stands alone. Some may find the sequel first. Lindy: I wish you could come along to one of our fan-chats one day, and talk to us about your time on set with both Terry and Tony, as that would just totally rock. If you're interested, we have an online group chat on the last Sunday of every month which Pepper can provide you the link for, OR alternatively, just hitch a ride over to the Hum90 website, www.hum90.com Go to the messageboard, and then its just a matter of posting a new thread and saying whatever it is you want to say. The "Tour of Duty" fans are a really friendly bunch and theyd make you feel most welcome. DJ: Sundays are my soccer days and soon to be the only day off once we get into shooting on "Wild Michigan." We have been scouting, casting and crewing. More in that on our next update. I'll let you all take my words to the message boards. That show TOD only had one problem....no DJ Perry. No I'm kidding. I would probably keep looking up into the tree tops with Knox yelling at me. Lindy: Looking forward to your reply Dj. Cheers for now. Lindy xx DJ: Cheers and give my love to the land down under! Demand "Ghost Town" from your TV stations! DJ |

Happy 4th of July! It has been nice and cool here in Michigan which made for a wonderful week. Monday morning last week and I only suffered a bit of stiffness after our Sunday soccer battle where we tied the #1 team! Good stuff. Here are a few new updates! "Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation" has been selected as the Opening Night's Attraction at the Osian's Cinefan Film Festival on July 10, 2008 in New Delhi at the Sirifort 1 Auditorium at 9.30 pm . This is a really high profile event as the festival is also part funded by the government of Delhi. The Delhi government ministers and bureaucracy are there in attendance and so are the central government ministers and bureacrats as Delhi is where the national government is lodged. On July 11th we have a press conference only for our film through the festival organizers. I'm also hearing that the movie will play theatrical in Poland. They said something about fall for a US release but I don't know in what form. It is a busy month of July with the Action on Film Festival. I'm so proud to have two of my films playing there. The award nominations are in and here they are. "GPS" was nominated for: Your film has received award nominations in the following Categories: Best Visual Effects for a Feature and Action Film of the Year! It is a beautiful film shoot in the Seattle wild. Like I said before I kept thinking I was going to see Bigfoot or Ewoks. "Ghost Town" has received award nominations in the following Categories: Best Special Effects - Feature, Best Costumes and Best Western. We had some great folks involved such as Katherine Coombs and her folks AJ, Danette and Roger Moore even helped out. Add rigs from Malibu Mike and his company Trading Post and lastly some good gun fights but it was a major explosion that I think got their attention. All departments deserve a deep thanks for all the hard work they put in so THANK YOU! I will fly out on July 24th and be back August 1st after the awards dinner. My first cup of coffee is slowly doing its work and so I'll make this short. We have been getting the foundation ready for our fall shoot. It is the first time using the Michigan rebate program and so it was two days getting all that information and paperwork filled out and submitted. Just to let everyone know that our team is looking at EVERYONE cast and crew and we'll make some decision. We are looking at a spring shoot in N.C. and so location and character breakdowns will play into all decisions. Have a safe and wonderful holiday. DJ |

| June 21st, 2008 Drinking coffee and enjoying just a beautiful day in Michigan. Busy, busy as I've been working on two scripts. One is the 6th draft of "Silent Night in Algona" the POW-WW2 project I'm working with some great folks in Iowa. I feel bad with all that has happened in that state with the flooding. The other script is Dean Teaster's follow up Smoky Mountain western and I have to say it really is coming together nicely. Other updates include - "Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation" We are selected as an official entry in the mosaic section of the popular Osian's Cinefan Film Festival in New Delhi in July 2008. Also in Pasadena, CA we are having a double showing opening the Action on Film Festival www.aoffest.com on July 25th. "Ghost Town" plays at 6pm and "GPS" plays at 8pm with an afterglow. I will be in CA as will most of our key producers, co-director Dean Teaster and most of our CA talent. Speaking of... I was flattered when I came across this on one of the Xena fan sites. It is a fan fiction story set in the Ghost Town world with the characters I created. It centers on a "What if" with Little Jack. (Renee O'Connor's character) http://www.xenafiction.net/scrolls/dinasbran_tlatsoi.html I can tell you that we have some great updates in the works with Ghost Town. I've had a slew of local auditions in Michigan. In between the big projects I wouldn't mind picking up a few days on something especially a Clint Eastwood project. I read for that movie last week. I read for an ABC pilot and I have a movie read on my Birthday tomorrow. I'm sporting a small beard and the hair is getting long so help or hinder we'll see. Michigan is still seen as just commercial actors and the roles are smaller day players. All my major roles are coming from the outside. I honestly think it will get better as agents and or casting agents learn to sell talent here better. Like I ALWAYS want to see a DVD reel. Yes it is great to see them do your lines from your project but let me see what happens on camera. I want to see that someone has put faith and big $$ behind someone's performance. Also show me what you look like in final product. Then WOW was that Terence Knox from "Tour of Duty" and "St. Elsewhere"??? Why yes it was! So I close deals with my reel all the time but Michigan seems hesitant to push it. Maybe it is because the reels here in Michigan are weak from lack of good TV/Movie footage. That is my guess. Well Birthday lunch with my dad then a soccer game (We've won the last 2!) then Detroit Run tomorrow and Birthday with my momma! Hope everyone has a wonderful end to their weekend and a productive week ahead. DJ |

Sitting at Fort Perry drinking Hazelnut coffee and trying to recall all the updates I need to pass along. We had some major storms in Michigan that left my CDI partner Jeff Kennedy and our post guru Dennis Therrian without power. We are trying to get our hi res trailer of "Ghost Town" to our distributor. Those big announcements are coming. We are with Fireshoe for some west coast screenings. The first set up is at the ACTION ON FILM FESTIVAL (see www.aoffest.com) It's a double-feature on opening night July 25th, 2008 in Pasadena, CA playing with another film I acted and produced on. It is the thriller "G.P.S." and so we have our stars coming out and several folks flying into the festival. 6PM "Ghost Town " 8PM "GPS" To buy tickets online, here aer the directions on how to do it: Visit: https://www.aoffest.com/store/Tickets-c2.htm Click AOF Single Program Pass Choose 2 tickets for one admission to our double feature. When you Check Out, put the following information in the COMMENTS section. MOVIE(S): Ghost Town & GPS After the two films there will be an afterglow but I do not have all the info on that yet! In Maggie Valley, NC the film is going back to the big screen working in conjunction with the theme park. It should open end of the month here! I've been working pre-production on "WILD MICHIGAN" with Cecil Chambers and Tony Hornus. Jeff Kennedy will direct and the script is being broken down for scheduling. I've been working with Dean Teaster on financing and script for his spring 2009 follow up smoky mountain western "Timberwolf" so stay tuned. We've all been looking at cast and we look at everyone we've worked with and a slew of newcomers. The nice part is we have many projects underway so I'm sure we'll be working with many of you soon. I'm ready to get back in front of the camera. I did a read for an ABC pilot as a BUM. I thought I was reading for a security guard so I shaved my bummy beard the day before. Oh well! The talented Shanda Renee one of my co-stars from "Karma" is the new leading lady on the www.djperryfanclub.com page. We have a slew of new actresses that will be showcased here. I hope Pepper keeps searching the web as I've found or have had various cool clips sent to me. This is one of a few music videos created from "Wicked Spring" footage http://pl.youtube.com/watch?v=ZKzGZ6idqbs&feature=related This was a flattering "Wicked Spring" video review - http://www.expotv.com/videos/reviews/15/150/Wicked-Spring/122857 I know some find flaws with our Civil War film but I'm proud that it is right in the mix with several of that genre's best. I will tell you these some drops of info: 1) Official talks have started with Two For Flinching "The 8th Plague" about a new project I would star in. 2) Kevin R. Hershberger and I have been in the 1st serious talks about doing another film together. Fans of "Wicked Spring" may be happy to see that. 3) Editing on "Book of Ruth" is moving along and after plans for "Judges 2 and 3" are real! So there is some fat to chew on over the weekend. I hope you all have a wonderful weekend and treat your father right! Best to you all! DJ |

I'm waiting on the fresh hazelnut coffee to be done. It was just a beautiful weekend and I really enjoyed myself. I've been doing some writing and that is always a feel good thing especially when it is really working. I've got a story meeting over that "Silent Night in Algona" script I wrote for production in Iowa. It is truly a beautiful story and we now have two other opinions into it. One is another producer and the other a book writer friend of his. I can see where I can perhaps tighten the story some but it is a strong piece about the POW camps for Germans here in American during WW2. Some of the feedback is just subjective and so it is frustrating to just try to make it different versus actually better. I like to write like a house of cards with things that the audience might not catch right away give meaning to a scene later down the line. You get to know the depth of the characters fears, hopes and dreams and then it is like "can we work this in or that in?" In Hollywood there is usually a very large payday associated with it but when you truly work towards the art as well then there is conflict. I can revisit and maybe take some new ideas generated and include them but I guess I don't want to mess up a good thing. I could easily say hey it is not a CDI picture so who cares. The problem is I do care about my characters and the story they are trying to tell. It will all work out. "Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation," "Murder at Hollow's Point" and more can be read about in the fine article below. Marcus had some great questions and it is always a joy to promote the hard work of all these productions. (Link below) http://www.evildread.com/interviews/dj_perry_interview08.php I've been looking for a good project to shoot this month and frankly I haven't found it. I liked a few but either we had a difference of opinion over character and/or pay. I will work cheaply a first time for a company if I like the production folks, the script and the role. My schedule also has to be free in that time frame. My name will bring distribution to a project or strengthen a cast with other bankable names. I just want to try and give my fans better and better fare to watch. That said I think some good ones are coming! I'm VERY excited about "Wild Michigan" coming together. It has been a long journey for that project. I went back to my 1st version and then did a rewrite. I also did that on "Holly, Jingles and Clyde" a Michigan family Christmas comedy that I would like to do one winter. Over the years these projects had gotten the run around and we can make these better and $ will follow. Well they didn't get better they got farther from the core heart of the story. Now that they are "pure" again with some updates I'm seeing good movement on them. If you have a group that would like to see "Ghost Town" in your area before our October dvd release contact www.fireshoe.com as they are handling some of the theatrical play dates. I'm almost done with all the fan questions that Pepper sent over so I'm thinking by next week those will be over and posted. I appreciate all the questions. I have a soccer game today and that has been keeping me busy along with some archery, horseshoes and some yard work. I may have to start the beard going for the last few pick ups on "Book of Ruth." I'm happy with the teaser trailer on that and I think Stephen Walker will turn out a good movie. We are really looking at doing the next "Judges" once Ruth is off and running. I hope everyone had a great weekend and I hope your week is productive! Best, DJ |

I'm sitting here listening to some bluegrass music and drinking my coffee. It is a beautiful morning in Michigan and I'm looking forward to a productive day. Yesterday I spent the day writing and working on several different projects. Today I'm dropping materials off on "Figure in the Forest" which has been signed to a pay per view deal on the Sky Angel Network. We will be getting a few promos together and such for delivery. I came across this posting of "Justice for All" a short award-winning western I did with Roger Spendlove the AD on "Judges." We all worked hard despite only having a take or two but I was happy with the little film. It is also where I met Austin Two Feathers later seen in "Ghost Town." I've also posted it on my MYSPACE site. http://www.reelgood.tv/filminfo.php?film=205JUSTIC "Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation" played at Cannes and had a great reception and plays again today. The rumor is that distribution has been assigned! I'll know more soon. We are starting talks with TV networks over "Outside the Wire" which is getting rave response but it should. It is very unique footage and for once showcases the "good" that our troops are doing. We are still taking various meetings but the promo has been seen around the Pentagon and so I'm happy the work is getting out there. Exciting things are shaping up and we'll soon have many more OFFICIAL exciting bits of info for all of you out there. Hope everyone has a great week wrap up! DJ |

| It has been a busy time with working on "Outside the Wire: The Forgotten Children of Afghanistan" a Documentary which you can read more about on the www.cdiproductions.com website.
We do have several projects in development for fall 08 and spring 09 so stay tuned! Happy Mother's Day! DJ |

It was a pleasant weekend for the most part with one of the highlights being the screening of the promo for "Outside the Wire, forgotten children of Afghanistan" on Saturday night to a full house. Our special guest was a professor from Afghanistan and I have to say that the place was moved to tears. Both his stories and the footage and interviews really brought into clear focus just what is being done over there. The whole "If it bleeds it leads" mentality of our media really does not show the humanitarian aspects of what our troops are doing. It is not just a man hunt over there. We will have a small teaser up on the www.cdiproductions.com site in maybe a week. Also I'm excited to announce the first looks at the trailer for "Karma: Crime, Passion, Reincarnation" at www.karmacpr.com that will be the website as well. Please feel free to go to IMDB and let us know your thoughts on the trailer. I'm excited to see it and I should have maybe went to France but I have so much going on right now. It sounds like our "Ghost Town the movie" will play daily at "Ghost Town in the Sky" themepark. We are also going into the Fireshoe theatrical program which should have us playing in WA, Texas and New Mexico. Also "Figure in the Forest" is going to the Sky Angel Network on their pay per view so we are happy about that. Lots of stuff happening fast so I'll try to keep you informed. NEW Leading Lady featured so check up Blair Wojcik my wonderful co-star from "Murder at Hollow's Point." See that trailer at http://www.cinamour.com/hollow.html Have a great week! DJ |
