Head of the Class: Little Shop 'Til You Drop: Part 2 (1989)
This was a fun shoot!
My best friend and I were hired as extras for this show. It was the most unique experience. We were audience members for the play, and the cast performed Little Shop of Horrors just like it was a real play. It was such a thrill!
The acting was done so well I can still remember the 'plant dance' that Dan Schneider did. The singing was spot-on and a real delight. I turned to my friend and said, "Are they really paying us for sitting here, because I would have bought a ticket to have this much fun!"
At the end of the play, when all the 'audience member' extras were exiting, all of the cast members lined up and shook our hands, just like in a real play! I was so impressed by their graciousness and professionalism.

Beyond Lemuria (2007)
Excellent Campy Sci-fi Movie
Beyond Lemuria is a wonderful campy romp through the esoteric underpinnings of the Magical Western Occult Tradition. This flick is filmed in the style of an old 40's or 50's sci-fi thriller and has the excitement of people who are embarking on a quest for things that are hidden to the average person. The seekers are separated into two camps, like an old-time western we have the good guys that wear white and the bad guys that wear black. The difference is they are not fighting each other, but are developing their own personal power. The good guys have a new-age feel and pursue inner knowledge and enlightenment. The bad guys seek supremacy and dominion over the people of earth.
The plot twist is the good/bad guys are played by the same actors, to intimate their stories are reflections of the two paths that can be pursued. The main character is the only one who is presented as someone who is at the crossroads and is in the process of needing to make a choice of which path to blaze. By following both his stories one can pick up many philosophical concepts that are utilize in the modern occult world.
I was surprised to see how good of an actor Ed Fitch is. I have seen him at a few Pagan Pride gatherings and was pleased to see what an amazing job he did portraying a fundamentalist TV preacher. While the picture is low-budget and does not have the high-tech film effects that are in current blockbusters, I felt the simplified special effects were fun and got the idea across. They added to the 50's feel of the picture. I give a big "Bravo" to Poke Runyon and Company for taking on this project and I enjoy sharing the movie with my friends.
