Back when life was hard, (the pandemic) we found a film maker from Michigan who was floating around social media looking for a way to get his documentary shown about his early days here in his home state and his love for dog racing. Yup, a family of mushers who loved the dogs, dog sledding and all that’s involved. Not every trying for something like that, and feeling like it was only “worth a shot”…..we said, “Well, we have an on demand outlet, we’ll run it, but we’ve never done anything like that before.” It worked out. It worked out well enough that Robert Anderson bumped back a little while later and said, “Have you ever thought of being an Executive Producer?” “Um….no?!?” Our 4th film debuts Friday on The Muskegon Channel and The GR Channel. Meet the Director, Producer and the stars of “Fiddle Faddle Fortune”

It’s a delight, first and foremost to help with creativity. That’s our role as EVP. We support and help promote and in return, we get the first show to publicly show the feature film to our audience. Great partnership and great for all involved to work on all that goes into the process of movie making. Planning to completion, there’s a lot to making a movie and more people pulling on the rope in all the areas from production to promotion is not only good for those making it, it helps all of of “scale up” as we grow in the industries. Mutual aid. It’s quite a thing. More should do it. I should add too, a little selfishly, to see the OMG logo roll at the opening of the film….that’s beyond the wildest dream I ever had.

On to the film. “Fiddle Faddle Fortune” is a comedy that’s just out to give us all a break. A couple enters into therapy for some issues going on….the therapist has a bit of a secret tho. From the IMDB site…. “In the aftermath of cursing someone to murder her husband, a local fortune teller summons a comical spirit to haunt a couple working through marital problems to teach them a lesson in working together.” Yep….along comes a ghost and wants to be a “help” in marriage counselling. That’s gonna work out great. The cast, including Erik Peters who plays “Winston” the conjured spirit in this film and Jasmine Haver who’s role as “Evangeline Adahma” is said to steal every scene is involved in the conjuring. Robert Anderson is the Writer, Director and Producer and we really have a great chat about the film, how the company all came together and some of the past work we’ve done, while getting to know everyone a little better.

We will have the premiere of the film Friday July 10th. When the date flips, the film will be ready to view on demand on both the Muskegon Channel on demand and The GR Channel on demand. If you have a Roku or Amazon Fire TV device, you can download the Muskegon Channel App for free and watch it there. We love supporting the arts and culture and really like supporting the creativity that goes into entertainment. Robert Anderson and his Michigan ties make perfect sense to partner with and as we all work to climb that hill, we’ll continue to find ways to learn and grow together, learn from one another, and continue to bring you top notch, outta the box fun like “Fiddle Faddle Fortune”. See ya Friday for the premiere.
