Hello everyone,
I couldn't help noticing the web referrals coming from this forum (that I knew nothing about) so I had to come over and check it out.
I'm Daniel Millican, the Writer/Director/Producer of "A Promise Kept" and also a purple in AKKS. I started my training after finishing the shooting of Promise this past March. My six year old son had been in karate for several years and not knowing anything about the disciplines, we happened upon a great Kenpo school for him (Colleyville Family Karate in Dallas-Ft Worth area
www.kenporocks.com).
So I was writing "Promise" while my son was beginning karate and started writing in more and more Kenpo into my screenplay. Mr. Rob Hazlewood, the school's instructor, told me about Jeff Speakman and as we came closer to shooting the movie, we were able to contact Jeff and fortunately he liked the script.
Jeff's role is not a huge one, but it is an important one. Also, we probably won't get a theatrical although I have done some screenings at a few theaters and might do a few more. (If you want to keep updated on future screenings, join the egroup at
www.apromisekeptmovie.com).
We will be coming out on Cable and Video pretty soon (maybe next spring). Again, updates will be sent to the egroup and posted on the website.
BTW, I'm writing my next script... does anyone know anything about Penchak Silat? I can't find a forum here for it and will probably do a Kenpo versus Silat thing in the story. (A lot of the story takes place in indonesia, hence the Penchak Silat).
Anyway, thank you all who visited the website. Take care!
