FILMING COMPLETED OF ACTOR
PORTRAYALS FOR F.S. KEY AFTER THE SONG
Posted by Philip J Marshall ­ in Kismetic News
These are shots of the last 3 of 13 performers portraying
dead historical characters who influenced Francis Scott
Key's life shot at Maryland Public Television Studios in
Owings Mills, MD recently. The characters, John
Randolph of Roanoke was a lifelong member of
congress and close friend of Francis Scott Key.
Randolph’s cousin was Thomas Jefferson and he is
known today as a hero of the conservative movement.
However, Randolph was a States Rights proponent and
constitutionalist which officially put him on the right but he
would have nothing to do with the conservatives of our
time, and would probably be spinning in his grave if he
knew he was being connected to them at all. The other
characters are Juba, Randolph’s slave and personal
companion, and Nat Turner the slave/preacher who
successfully mounted a mass revolt and in so doing lit
the fuse for civil war.
The actors are from top­left­right order – Phil Proctor from
"Firesign Theater" fame and recently performing voices
for popular Pixar moves. Phil did an extraordinary
performance of John Randolph and captured his unique
vocal qualities as well as his super eccentric nature.
Juba was portrayed by Baltimore based actor, Gavin
Whitt. J. Arthur Brooks gave a moving performance
recreating Nat Turner receiving the word from God that
he should go ahead with his gruesome plans.
The really fantastic news is that our wonderful patrons
have promised to get us the funds to finish and release
the project. So music is in production and I’m up to my
neck in editing. We’ve changed the release date for the
project and the three hour series along with a re­
rerelease of my first hour on Francis Scott Key writing the
song, will now be on PBS stations nationally in
September 2017.

FILMING OF ACTOR PORTRAYALS CONTINUE
FOR F.S. KEY AFTER THE SONG
Posted by Philip J Marshall ­ in Kismetic News
We filmed 6 more actor interviews with actors portraying
dead historical characters influential in Francis Scott
Key's life at Maryland Public Television Studios in Owings
Mills, MD. This makes a total of 10 out of 13 planned
performers. This was just amazing for all who witnessed,
as our group of talented actors "became" the historical
characters.

The actors who participated are from top­right in order ­
Gary Sandy from "WKRP in Cincinnati" fame. He did a
knock out performance of President Andrew Jackson and
made me feel as if I was actually talking to him. Next was
Tony Award winner Boyd Gains of "One Day At A Time"
and many other memorable performances adding his
chilling portrayal of Roger B. Taney, Key's brother­in­law
and Chief Justice of the Supreme Court/"Dred Scott"
fame. Then the incomparable John Astin played Edgar
Allen Poe, and Karen Lynn Gorney performed the
Washington socialite Anna Thornton who's slave caused
the Washington Riots of 1835. Last but not least was
Bruce Nelson of Baltimore's Everyman Theater fame
playing William Lloyd Garrison and J. Emerson
McGowan playing Samuel Eli Cornish. All of them gave
extraordinarily believable performances.
Our wonderful patrons have given additional
philanthropic donations to allow us to finish all of the
principal photography. So we can complete the last
studio filming session with three more actors as soon as
they are cast. There is still more fundraising to do to
complete the music and editorial aspects of the project
for national distribution on PBS stations nationally in
February 2017.
