If you want to work in Indie Film, you
have to believe sanity is over-rated cause you won't find it there.
That has never stopped the truly dedicated bands of guerrilla film
makers who will suffer for their art. Maybe they take some
satisfaction in causing cast and crew from suffering along with them.
In spite of the madness, everybody
stills shows up.
This explains the obsessive dedication
of all who have been involved with the production of The Adventures
of Indiana James. It is a web series like the old movie serials with
cliff hanger endings that leave the audience on the edge of their
seats, panting for the next installment.
The series covers Indiana James and his Search for the Lost Shaker of Salt.
I know what your thinking, “Hey, the
name is Jones and that's the dumbest mixing of metaphors ever.”
Well, stretch your mind, as it all makes sense except when it doesn't
but it still works.
I don't know how the team came up with
the concept of taking an Indiana Jones adventure and turning it into
a web series about the quest for legendary lost shaker of salt, but
as they are still at large, their quest for support should be heard
as they can't afford therapy.
The impresario of the project is Thomas
Pimentel. He is also the CEO of TNT LTD. PRODUCTIONS. TNT is a
natural outgrowth of Thomas' love of movies and media production. TNT
is a full service production company with oodles of experience in all
aspects of the business. TNT owns all its equipment and has been
part of numerous productions.
TNT brings to any production a team
competent professionals. So what do they do with all that equipment
and teamwork on the days off?
Make the Adventures of Indiana James .
They have the equipment, the props, the
team. What don't they have?
The money.
This is where the humanity needs to
step up. Now we know that not all of that entity known as the
general public gets it, so we are appealing to people with
imagination, a sense of humor and love of a bizarre if intriguing
plot. Oh, and if you have ever heard yourself singing along to a
Jimmy Buffet tune, this too should appeal to you.
Tom has been a busy lad, He is going
to be significantly featured in the upcoming documentary, Parrot
Heads. As you can imagine, this is going to have something to do
with Jimmy Buffet. Bryce Wagoner, the director contacted Thomas
about the project.
As webisodes, there is a likelihood of
it being featured on Jimmy's web channel, Margaritaville.tv. Indiana
James also hopes some important names will do cameos.
Team Indiana James has done a lot with
little. A sand dune in New Hampshire doubled as a Caribbean island.
The old navy ships at Battleship cove in New Bedford were
appropriated for a day of shooting. An Aztec temple was found near
the Salsibury coast.
Everyone, however, sooner or later hits
a wall and needs to lean on others to help and encourage them to push
on over the finish line. Help Indiana James and the Search for The
Lost Shaker of Salt and history and a web series.

To paraphrase Nigel in Spinal Tap,
let's make this one go to eleven.
