Paint, The Movie
by Gerald Martin Davenport
based on a concept by Adam Vesely
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 will surprise you, you tend to roll your eyes and scoff. So we are not going to say that even though we think it is awesome, exciting, action-packed, and funny. With 22 years, 2 months, 0 days, 18 hours, 32 minutes, and 22 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.
Illusions of Grandure
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 and some of the cast played the other team. It turned out pretty good compared to what he wanted.
Gerald wanted to continue the story further thinking he could only do thirty-minute shorts, there would be a part 2 and 3; however, he did not it was going to take five years to get ready. Making parts 2 and 3 after that much time with the same actors was not going to happen. The story was suppose to continue a month, maybe two, after the first one.
Combined and Made Into Three
The three short stories were combined with new additions and a full-length film 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?
Parts 2 and 3 exist as their own stand-alone full-length feature that connects to the previous one — very ingenious.
About the Novel
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?
