Aimee Mann joins the cast of The Seventh Python

Acclaimed singer-songwriter Aimee Mann filmed a segment today for The Seventh Python, our nonfiction film about the wit, wisdom and career of musical comedy legend Neil Innes.


Academy Award-nominated Aimee has known Neil since she lived in England in the early Nineties, and featured his vocals on her album, I'm With Stupid, as well as on her classic recording of Harry Nilsson's One, which was featured in PT Anderson's film, Magnolia (along with her song, Save Me, that scored the nomination).


Aimee praises Neil as a songwriter, a satirist, and even remembers where she was-- "and what the room looked like" when she first saw The Rutles on TV. “I have to say that some of the Rutles songs are my favorite—I like them more than the Beatles songs. I think that I had more kind of hero worship and I had more of a crush on Ron Nasty than I ever had on John Lennon.”

The three-part, three-hour Presidents told, for the first time, the history of the White House screening room and showed how a oresident's taste in movies could reflect-- or even influence-- his leadership style and decisions.

Michael Deaver was gracious enough to allow us into his officeat Edelman public relations in Washington, DC and regale us about stories speak to us about the Reagans and the movies. The master media manipulator also served as a conduit to Nancy Reagan, who did not agree to appear on camera, but through Deaver confirmed the accuracy of details we had gathered, provided new information to us, and led us to new contacts.

All The Pesidents' Movies is now in workldwide television release, most recently seen in Japan and Israel. Its release on DVD has been delayed but it will show up for sale one day soon.

Hudson Brothers reunite for The Seventh Python

As post-production work and additional shooting continues on the Frozen Pictures nonfiction feature film, The Seventh Python, producer and Frozen partner Brett Hudson is reuniting one of the most legendary, acclaimed and influential pop groups of the Seventies as he prepares the film's soundtrack.



Years after their official split as a performing act, The Hudson Brothers are handling the musical segments of the film about the unplanned career of Monty Python collaborator and chief Rutle Neil Innes. Mark Hudson, well-known music producer and songwriter has joined kid brother Brett as music supervisor, and brother Bill Hudson, the flash guitarist, film producer, composer and author of the upcoming book Fool's Gold (it's about his marriage to Goldie Hawn, but that's a different documentary), is at his in-demand Water Tower recording studio in Malibu, beginning to "clean up" concert tracks from Innes' now-legendary stands at the 1650 Club and Lava Lounge in Hollywood.

"We've gotten offers to reunite on stage," says Brett. "But behind the scenes, we work together all the time. We're brothers."

Neil Innes and the Hudsons share musical, comedic and Beatle connections dating back to the Sixties...

Keith Walker is a well-respected producer and charismatic dealmaker who’s worked closely with many celebrities in the television, movie and music fields, including Phillip Michael Thomas, Lee Majors, P Diddy, Jeremy Jackson, Fat Joe, The Ying Yang Twins, Steve Harris and Neely and many more. Keith is one of the talents turning Atlanta an entertainment hotbed. he's A&R director for the music label Warrior Records, a consultant for the new entertainment channel BSPN-- and filming top-grade movies withut leaving town.

As a matter of fact, after producing the Atlanta-based film Fate, starring Majors, Thomas and Michael Pare (Eddie & The Cruisers) and workign as associate producer of The Unseen, starring Steve Harris (Heist, Diary of a Mad Black Woman), Keith's most recent picture, Lynch Mob ("A Mob movie with a horror twist") has the canny timing of starring Sopranos regular Tony Darrow and is set to hit theatres soon.

We expect to be doing a lot more work with Keith Walker, who along with cameraman extraordinaire Lewis Bailey, is helping turn the great state of Georgia into Frozen Pictures South!
