Paint, The Movie

Paint - Full-length version

A remake of Paint (2006) 19-minute film, only this time it is a full-length feature.

We are looking for producers and supporters — anyone interested in being involved with producing positive, family entertainment that is exciting, action-packed, and educational. Become a film producer and be a part of something special and make money back on your investment.

When people tell you that their story is not what you would expect, is different than what you have seen, or that it is going to surprise you, you tend to roll your eyes and scoff. So we are not going to say that even though we know it is awesome, exciting, action-packed, and funny. With 22 years, 8 months, 13 days, 23 hours, 23 minutes, and 50 seconds of rewrites, revisions, read-throughs, and critiques, plus being disassembled and reassembled every three years, the story, characters, and subplots are ready for the big-time.

Origin of Paint

The idea came from a discusion Gerald and Adam Veseley had while attending California State University Chico in 2003. Adam had a concept idea but no time to write the story. Gerald wrote a story in a week and titled it Paint and Adam loved it. They began working on doing it together, but life and school got in the way and they lost connection with each other.

Let's Make A Movie

After Gerald graduated from Video Symphony — a post production school in Burbank (now defunct) — Gerald thought it would be the perfect project for a first self-produced film. Adam was busy in 2005 and could not participate in the production of the film. Gerald did not want to wait and he was fresh out of film school, so Gerald spent $5,000 of his own money to make PAINT (2006) with a rag tag group of teens, which included his son Aria Leven Davenport, whom Aria Pictures is named for, and his daughter, Kyriè Sierra Davenport, who was not written in it until her read-through with everyone's lines when she helped out with auditions, and several others including Gerald's nephew Reid Young.

Dreams bigger than Reality

There were plans to have a second team that they meet at base camp, but with no one really knowing who Aria Pictures or Gerald was, people were not lined up to be in the movie. Gerald had to be creative using some of the cast to play the other opposing team. It turned out pretty good, considering what he wanted.

Wanting to continue the story, Gerald wrote parts 2 and 3; each one a story on its own, but part of a whole. However, five years passed when the opportunity presented itself to make them. Continuing the story with the same actors was not going to happen — the story was suppose to continue two weeks, maybe three, after the first one.

Destiney or Circumstance?

Parts 1 and 2 were combined along with some of part 3 and some new additions to create a full-length story packed with action, comedy, drama, and hope. Why not make Aria Pictures and Gerald's first full-length feature film be the first movie they made, but BIGGER?

The original short part 3 is now a full-length part 2 along with a new full-length part 3 as part of the story, but exist as their own stand-alone story.

Paint in Print

The novel is an extention of the screenplay: there is more description, thoughts, and insights than a movie can show — any one who reads knows this — but the question is: should it be one long 2300 page novel or three medium sized novels?

Characters

The story was written with non-specific nationalities for characters. The original Paint was cast with available actors. The full-length version's characters have no intended nationality other than Carlos. The genders and nationalities could change based on the strength of actors — which is what is important. The story and characters can be rewritten based on the actor's features and how they intermix with the rest of the characters which is the fun part making the character more real to the actor.
