Discrimen Cast Overview: Mark Odlum is Abercrombie Taverner

Each day Filmman will be profiling a character and cast member of his next project, “Discrimen”.

We’ll include a brief bio. and a portion of one or more of their scenes and include pictures and any other relevant information.

Discrimen:

Set in the near future, Discrimen revolves around a defining moment of the APD Wars, and of the greatest soldier of that conflict, Nike Wiknam. Beaten, hungry and exhausted from fighting, Nike Wiknam and his men have been pushed to the border of the large city-state of Suffolk (formerly Boston). With no options and limited resources and a bureaucracy that would rather see them dead, they must now make one of two decisions: declare civil war and march on their homeland or face certain death. For the greatest soldier of his generation, that decision may not be his alone to make.

ABERCROMBIE TAVERNER

Actor: Mark Odlum

Throughout history there have been political wunderkinds and masterminds of all types and descriptions:

Mark Odlum is Abercrombie Taverner

Karl Rove, G. Gordon Liddy, Henry Kissinger, Niccolo Machiavelli.

To that list can now be added another name:

Abercrombie Taverner

The youngest political advisor ever admitted into the hallowed halls of the APD, he was only 17 when he helped administer and coordinate the largest coup of any political system in the known world to that time.

His position solidified with an already-preternatural ability to craft even the smallest speeches into epic moments of oratory, his deft handling of his opponents and quick-thinking when even the slightest bit of hope seemed all but lost assured that Abercrombie Taverner would never fear for his elevated place in the APD political spectrum.

He has spoken to billions through the greatest leaders of his age with his words.

He has been one of the key members in crafting the largest, most powerful political party known to any world.

He is now the closest and most trusted advisor to the most powerful individual on two worlds.

Leaders of all types listen to him; men of any type who aspire to power know they will someday have to deal with him.

He is everywhere. But never seen. He is well-known. But no one knows anything about him.

He is Abercrombie Taverner.

And many believe he will always be the most powerful man no one will know existed.

ATALIA OBERLAN

Actress: Manuela Farina

Manuela Farina is Atalia Oberlan

One of the greatest engagements fought on any soil in any war:

The Siege at Kulkulkan.

One injured General-Soldier. One Brazilian Civilian of Italian Heritage.

The great pyramid at Kulkulkan.

2,000 Insurgents stopped dead-cold by sheer force of will and one superior modern weapon.

Atalia Oberlan: Aimless. Homeless. Living a life with no true meaning. In the right place at the wrong time but lucky enough to survive through the greatest single defense of a great man ever recorded.

Two souls on far different paths converging in the dense rain forests of Mexico.

One: a great man escaping death.

The other: an aimless soul wandering her adopted country.

Both will meet at the steps of an abandoned ancient wonder.

And both will be tested beyond anything they ever thought either would experience.

Both would pull through. And one would grant the other immediate award and entry into his world. It wasn’t what she asked for and it wasn’t what she expected. But it was, once again, where her life had led her.

Many live a life of expectance and dream of a life spent experiencing.

One woman of a life spent experiencing made decisions in a moment that gave her a role she never expected.

Spotlight on: Emmanuel Sutter

Today we put the spotlight on one of the greatest minds of the APD: Emmanuel Sutter.

David Lamberton is Emmanuel Sutter

“The only true way is for the many to give up what they want so that a select few can benefit from what they can achieve.”

It is he who drafted the original Articles of Incorporation;  the original and still-in-use-to-this-day Incorporation Manual; the original plan for the terraforming of another world, that led directly to the push to send the original colonists to Mars…and the only man to ever make the return trip from a foreign planet.

Emmanuel Sutter has shaped his world as much as Edison shaped his age; as much as Einstein shaped his.

Arguably one of the most brilliant scientific minds to ever grace the world stage.

We have been granted access to talk about this man and his work. Easily the most revered scientist to grace our world stage and perhaps the most popular scientist of all time.

Many, however, believe him to be simply a tool of the corporate world to which he so easily seems to relate. Undoubtedly influential, but to what end? And for what means? And when a scientist decides to use his nearly limitless gifts for furthering any state’s agenda…does everyone not have the right to use and profit from the advancements he finds? Where is the line and who draws it?

Emmanuel Sutter. You live by rules that he drafted. A new world has been created from his discoveries and breakthroughs. It is impossible not to revere the man, but can we question his choices? And would the brilliant man care what you think? All that matters is what he’s done, and what he’s done…has changed the world.

Excerpt from Volume 1 of Frances Palatine’s epic account of the APD Wars: The Rise of the APD

Frances Palatine:

Brilliant.

Eccentric.

The foremost chronicler of the modern age of the APD.

His books have been read by millions on two worlds.

Last known public photo of Frances Palatine

Presidents, kings, rulers and shahs have consulted him on the important facets of his age.

And we have been granted access to write about the man and his work.

Much can be said in regards what is arguably the largest figure to ever grace the intellectual stage.

We will start by presenting each Volume of his epic masterpiece trilogy chronicling the APD Wars.

This is Volume 1: Rise of the APD

____________________________________________________________

Rise of the APD is Volume 1 of Frances Palatine’s epic opus, his trilogy chronicling the greatest corporation of his age and the people of both worlds living within its large grasp.

His is a trilogy borne of the blood of his family; of the men and women he knew intimately who gave their all to build a new world on a foreign planet.

His is a trilogy of great men who led the way, and average men who gave all so a select few could change the world.

His is a chronicle of a world many know, but few could ever have imagined.

His is a chronicle of the “The Rise of the APD”.

Volume 1 excerpt 1:

Many believe the APD was created solely for the purpose of colonizing other worlds. Many more believe, perhaps rightly so, that the APD was created solely for the purpose of subjugating millions.

But what few, if any, realize is that the APD wasn’t ‘created’ at all.

For those who care, the APD is hundreds of years of the greatest legal and strategic business maneuvering either of the two worlds has ever seen. The APD is trillions of dollars and millions of man-hours of negotiating, cajoling, attempting to inveigle, working to influence and scurrying furiously to de-regulate business regulation. The APD is every strong corporation ever started by young men with dreams looking to sell high. The APD is as powerful as that, and more-so. The APD has a hand in every facet of your life. And for better or worse…the APD is here to stay.

“The APD was no more created,” in the words of one of its greatest leaders, “than it was birthed, fully-formed, from the sweat and hard work of thousands of men and women who gave everything, from the lowliest independent business owner who sold all he had to the APD in exchange for a comfortable retirement, to the largest corporate leverage of a fellow corporation that itself wanted to do what only the APD had ever managed. The APD is a great beast of everything that has come before. No one could as much have predicted its forming as they could have predicted we would colonize a second world. But we did, and we’re all the better for it. The world allowed the APD to form, and regardless what you hear, we are all that much better for it.”

Volume 1 Excerpt 2:

And that was when the leader of the largest corporation two worlds has ever seen realized: his was a different war, at a different time in what became his near future. For this was not a foreign land; a foreign place, but a land known all too well. It was the remains of a once-proud America, now a loose confederation of city-states, and he lorded over it all: over city-states ravaged by civil war and governed by a corporation so large, even he wasn’t aware of 375 of the thousand most-senior officers.

But if anyone will tell you, he will, in his throaty eastern seaboard accent, that it wasn’t necessary for him to know them, it was only his to know what they had ever done. And he knew it all, and he controlled it all. He controlled the only corporation to ever legally wage war. The only corporation to ever legally draft ‘conflict participants’. The only corporation ever to legally occupy a foreign, sovereign land. And he did it publicly and proudly. And perhaps that was his greatest strength: he didn’t care. What anyone thought, what anyone said, what anyone wrote. His was a simple answer, used so effectively so many times: “I have only to think about this company and the millions who depend on it to live…anything else…is useless.” (ed. note: So many times this author thought it was done so well once before, in many situations, by another leader, with a simple…’so?’. But perhaps that’s why that man is remembered as he is today and why this man has maintained a steel grip on the world few could ever claim. )

NIKE WIKNAM

Actor: Scott Neufville

Scott Neufville is Nike Wiknam

Nike Wiknam.

‘The Architect’.

The greatest general of his age.

The youngest soldier ever awarded the ‘Two-World’s Active Endeavor’ medal, the highest honor a living soldier of the APD can receive, awarded after the ‘Siege at Kulkulkan’. (An award he promptly gave to Roberllan Ahenabar for saving his life, right after commissioning him a Corporal.)

The leader of the ‘Elite Eleventh’, a military unit more awarded and tested and winning than any before or since.

A man so skilled in combat, living monuments have already been erected to a man many refer to as ‘the architect of two worlds.’

A man many believe to be the physical embodiment of his namesake: Victory.

Nike Wiknam. Not much more can be written that hasn’t been written already.*

Nike Wiknam, the greatest living general, the greatest living citizen, the greatest living statesman.

Nike Wiknam.

(Ed. note: All instances of writing that include Nike Wiknam, must, through a decree of the APD, begin and end with Nike Wiknam’s full name.)

*For the best example so far of the work of one of the best of the numerous Wiknam biographers who already exist, be certain to read: ‘The Architect’ by Frances Palatine.

Aramis Grayson:

Actor: Naheem Garcia

Naheem Garcia is Aramis Grayson

Aramis Grayson. The name alone engenders the utmost respect and awe. He is a man both revered and feared, a man most on both worlds know not only by name, but sight alone.

Once the most respected Statesman on two worlds, he has recently fallen in favor, fading into the bright light of the one he once mentored: Nike Wiknam.

But none have forgotten the power he once and will always represent. And none are more surprised by Grayson’s appearance in this final conflict of the APD Wars than Wiknam and the members of the ‘Elite Eleventh’.

Two military careers. Two powerful men. One a man of the people; one a man of the ruling class. Both as strong and competent and able to command as much respect as the other.

The final conflict of the APD Wars will bring them together.

One will determine what is borne of the history powerful men create.

Cornell Holcombe:

Actor: Russell Jordan

Russell Jordan is Cornell Holcombe

Cornell Holcombe is the third-most-senior executive of the APD, the Alliance for Planetary Development.

As such, he is the first and last thing people see and his words are what the world hears when the APD wants to speak to its network of ‘consumers’ on this and the newly-’developing’ world.

A loyal company man, he has always done everything asked of him and it is through this loyalty that he finally realizes the actual direction of his true fate and that he is simply not much more than an expendable ‘mouthpiece’ for the unfolding plans of his superiors.

Corporal Lachlan McLaren:

Actor: Fred Robbins

Fred Robbins is Lachlan McLaren

Lachlan McLaren is the most veteran and respected member of the ‘Elite Eleventh’, and the only other man since Aramis Grayson that Wiknam has ever once turned to for advice.

Born and raised in the highlands of the Scottish city-state of Midlothian during the IRA uprising of 2034, his mother sent him off to Suffolk when his father died from a fatal infection incurred after being in the middle of a bombing of his office building.

After running away from the family his mother left him with, and bouncing between foster homes, he eventually made his way on the tough, deserted streets of the Brookline sub-division of Suffolk.

A no-nonsense man of simple means, it was once proffered through war stories that, during the ‘Mayan Uprising’ section of the ‘Aztec Wars’, when the Eleventh finally made it to Kulkulkan, McLaren personally slaughtered  57 Insurgents with his bare hands upon seeing Nike laying wounded at the top of the pyramid and a lone Brazilian fending off 200 screaming Insurgents.

Once voted “Most likely to kill you for fun” by the rest of his colleagues.

Maxim Sommers:

Actor:  Miguel Lopes

Miguel Lopes is Maxim Sommers

Maxim Sommers is a fierce and loyal fighter who has been a part of many of the greatest battles of the APD Wars with the “Elite Eleventh”, including the ‘Asian Insurrection’, the ‘Maya Uprising’ and perhaps the fiercest campaign of the APD Wars, the ‘Laredo State Militia Uprising’.

Veteran and battle-hardened enough to be promoted to First Lieutenant, he has respectfully declined all promotion advances for, in his words, “…life is all about killing Insurgents, not commanding others to do so for me.”

It is during this final campaign, through simple words and gestures, guiding Rubio through the toughest fight of all of their lives, that he will realize, perhaps, he has something to impart to those less veteran than himself above just “…aiming for the heart and head and making sure you hit at least one of those.”

Lieutenant Porter Latrillo:

Actor: Nathan Faudree

Nathan Faudree is Lieutenant Porter Latrillo

Lieutenant Porter Latrillo has known Nike Wiknam since their first mandatory “Incorporation” classes since they were both 12 years old.

With both of their competitive natures, a pact was drawn early in their friendship of who would become the greatest military figure of the APD; Nike won.

But rather than be jealous or even worse, envious, Latrillo early on realized what a force of nature Nike was and would become and dedicated his life to ensuring he would do everything in his power to convince his best friend he would never need to think there wasn’t ever anyone not  there ‘watching his back’.

Through some of the most pressing and important engagements of the APD Wars, Latrillo has been there, steadfastly standing beside his best friend, obeying when he should, questioning when needed and fighting without reservation for the ideals they both hold true.

This loyalty to man and ideal stays with Latrillo throughout Discrimen and plays a central role in the outcome of the most important engagement in the history of the APD Wars.

Nathan Faudree Biography:

Nathan Faudree grew up in a very small cow town in upstate New York. He escaped several years ago and has been making his way as an actor ever since. He can be seen as the title character in Kottentail.  Yes, he’s a killer Easter Bunny.  He can also be seen in the upcoming films, Bigfoot at Holler Creek, The Shrieking, Hunting Season and Singularity. He has also co-written and starred in several plays with the theater company, “trip.”.  Including the critically acclaimed 4play and Finding Graffenberg. He has officially been dubbed “The Scream King”, by Fangoria Radio, and was a runner up in the “Master of Horror” competition for Arrow in the Head.com. Project Greenlight says that he “deserves his own sitcom.” Most importantly, he has an unhealthy fascination with monkeys.

“Discrimen” cast overview: Oliver Burns is Martan Cogren

Sorry for the long absence, but Filmman is back, and each day we’ll be profiling a character and cast member of Filmman’s next project, “Discrimen”.

We’ll include a brief bio. and a portion of one or more of their scenes and include pictures and any other relevant information.

For the greatest soldier of his generation, that decision may not be his alone to make.

Martan Cogren:

Actor: Oliver Burns

Oliver Burns is Martan Cogren

Martan Cogren was once a shining star in one of Nike Wiknam’s first and most successful fighting outfits.

Showing as much skill with battlefield negotiation as with the most modern weapon, it wasn’t long before Wiknam was counting on him to secure some of the most difficult, important engagements of the APD wars.

Unfortunately, being as good as he was, his ego eventually got the best of him and he attempted to secure command of his own outfit.

Once released by Wiknam and given control over a smaller “guerilla” unit far in the outlands, it was soon made clear that Martan was in far over his head. His skills with negotiation did not extend to commanding other soldiers, and through mistakes of his own and the work of many others, he soon found that, with no opportunity to return to the life he once had, he would now have to ‘play the game’ and be part of a system that will force him to make a decision that will have profound effects on what happens to Wiknam and what remains of his old colleagues in the ‘Elite Eleventh’.

Heresy

Filmman is writing the next film, entitled: “Heresy”.

The Near Future: Church and State are now one single entity. New laws have been enacted; a new shared constitution has been written to reflect this. People live under a strict set of rules and laws known collectively as “The New Moral Code”, a code set forth by a consortium of religious entities, all of whom have put aside their religious differences to create a “super-religion” encompassing all member faiths, and with a single “book” and set of “faith-based” understandings.

This organization, known as the Alliance for Religious Governing, is a religious U.N. that has consolidated and gained more power than any government entity in the history of the world. With the ARG in power, it is a time of suppressive rule, a time of churches and mosques and temples all collected under the control of one religious governing body; it is a time of religious fervor, a time when any of a number of specified “immoral acts”, no matter how trivial, is deemed an affront to the Church and is thereafter deemed a hostile act and is classified: “Heresy”.

“Discrimen” being written…

Filmman is currently writing the futuristic thriller “Discrimen”.

BOSTON, 2099: The world is in an unstable state of continuous conflict. The last 50 years has been a time of Total War. Technology and industry has advanced at an exponential rate. The world is now separated into individual, self-governing city-states, each with their own laws and infrastructure.

Full militaries have been replaced by squadrons of “Super-Fighters”, extremely-proficient freedom fighters, trained and equipped with the latest technology and weaponry, far advanced of the “Unification Fighters”, the splinter groups fighting to unite the world under a single, socialist government entity.

And now, one of those squadrons has reached the outer-most border of the most powerful city-state in what is now the Democratic Free States.

The squad is hurt, tired and on the run. If they cross the border, they’re declaring open war…if they stay where they are…they will certainly be overrun and all die.

Among this crack group of “Super-Fighters”, one man stands alone: Nike Wiknam.

This is the story of how he and a small, battered group of his men ultimately became the impetus for what would come to be known as…the “APD Wars”.

Carto-6435B

APD Correlated Enhanced Dictionary (v. 1.1) – unabridged

carto [kahr-tø] – n. a man or woman trained and tasked for the
exo-stellar mapping of the known solar-system, galaxy and beyond.
referencing sources:
Jonathan Korman: first known “carto” (successful)
Rebecca Korman: first known “carto” (failed)
APD: first official corporation involved in “carto” operations

Jonathan Korman is the first of his kind: the first successful “carto” – a future breed of pioneering men and women tasked with surveying and mapping our known galaxy and beyond. Their mission: to open shipping and transport and navigation lanes in far space, helping to usher mankind into the next epoch of deep-space exploration.

Joining Korman on this mission is “David”, the ship’s onboard psychological nano-construct and the most advanced computer entity of its time.

While on a routine sub-area mapping mission, something goes wrong: horribly wrong.

Korman must now deal with a punctured hull before time runs out and his understanding of what happened is gone forever. He devises a plan to get the information off the ship and in the process, he learns just what “David” is capable of.

Boston-based “Recognition” being written

Filmman is currently writing a Boston-based drama entitled “Recognition”.

This stark drama follows a young man, Brian, for an entire day as he recognizes a young child as someone he is sure that he knows, but doesn’t know why. When it becomes apparent the young child begins leading her mother on a quest to follow Brian, he knows she recognizes him, also, and it leads to an explosive, shocking understanding that will change both their lives forever.

“Prequel” to Rebecca being written and will be shot before the “Boston Project”

Filmman is currently writing the prequel to “Rebecca” and will be shooting the story with Fred Robbins and Scott Neufville, and hopefully with Naheem Garcia in a cameo that foreshadows his role in “Rebecca”.

This untitled “prequel” will be shooting in and around Boston.

Updates and excerpts will be posted shortly.

Singularity accepted into the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival

Just a quick post to say that Singularity was accepted into the Philadelphia Independent Film Festival. Congrats to all the actors and to my brother and to myself. Hopefully this is the beginning of a good festival run.

This, my really first test of entering festivals has been a real eye-opener, to the sheer amount of festivals, the different levels that different festivals operate on and how difficult it is to gauge who will accept what.

Making Singularity, I never thought running time would be much of a problem. I always assumed anything over maybe 40 minutes would be full length, yes? Well, no. Most of the festivals want movies over 60 or seventy minutes to be full length and anything under a short. Who goes to festivals to see a short film over 45 minutes? Maybe some, but I don’t see how you can program an hour block of short films with a 52 minute movie in there…

So the big lesson here has been to ensure any movie from this point out is over seventy minutes, and, of course, that those seventy minutes work, or else just leave it at twenty minutes.

But, Philadelphia Independent allowed 55 minutes and under, as does Hollywood film festival, which is 45 minutes and under…they’re out there…just have to find them.

So, again, congrats everyone, hope this is one of many.
