FILM MAKERS
Dos Caminos Productions began in the summer of 2015 with its inaugural film, “Sugar & Spade”. This passion project about two life-long friends was the catalyst that brought Director/Producer-Mark MacInnis, Producer-James Ken Blackmon, and Producer-Wil Thomas III together. These three friends saw the story of a 50-year friendship between Austin ‘Sugar’ Johnson and ‘Spade George’ as the perfect opportunity to utilize their diverse collective talents. With their trajectory set towards shedding light on issues of “social responsibility” and “civil progress”, these three creatives are positioned to move forward and make an impact. As Dos Caminos Productions continues into other projects, they plan on keeping the spirit in which they were formed alive.
SUMMARY
“This film has taken me places that I’ve never even dreamt of,” Austin ‘Sugar’ Johnson
What happens after you make a movie? There’s no telling! Interest in the film ‘Sugar & Spade’ took the film’s stars and crew all the way to Morocco for a screening, and The Vintagent sponsored their trip, just to see two old African-American chopper buddies in actual Africa! This mesmerizing short film is made by the same crew – Dos Caminos Productions and 27 Transmissions – that made the original Sugar & Spade film, and Rocco DeLuca once again provided a beautiful score, “Friend to the Lonely”. This film is as simple as can be, but you can feel the depth of emotion in the narrative by Austin ‘Sugar’ Johnson and ‘Spade George’, and Rocco’s music.
RELATED MEDIA
Sorry to hear of the passing of Austin Johnson. He will be missed and always remembered.
Cool film .. cool concept …
…sorry for the loss of a legend .
( to paraphrase the band Little Feat ; ‘ You know that you’re old and over the hill when the legends you looked up to pass on leaving a void to be filled ‘ )
And let me tell you something … be it music , art , film , literature or motorcycle … we’ve lost far too damn many legends ( and mentors ) over the last two to three years …. sigh
But … Back to the film … I wonder how the Moroccans that came in contact felt about it . Hopefully they came away with a smile on their faces
And hey … two thumbs up for the soundtrack as well ! Damn .. who done it ?
ahhhh ….. pardon my ineptitude ….. Rocco Guarino done the music …. leave it to Rocco to come up with an apposite soundtrack fer a motorcycle film …. and silly me … Rocco would of been my first guess … so why like a fool did I ask ? ( note to self ; READ FIRST ask QUESTIONS LATER ) …..oh well …
Good lord … was I having a bad day yesterday or what ?? ( for those who might care … yes… I was )
Rocco DeLucca .. Not Guarino .
Sheesh … ya’d think with a whole section of my CD collection filled with his stuff … I’d of know that off the top of my head ! Damn the ongoing aftermath of the ” Sausage Creature “
