Dead Gentlemen Productions

We will be appearing at the show as featured guests—signing DVDs, promoting JourneyQuest, and enjoying the costume ball—but you’ll also want to catch musical performances by Tricky Pixie, Sharon Night, Heather Dale, and many more.

If you’re in the area, you should come to this con!

Jen Page has an all-consuming passion for film acting. She is open to exploring all genres but there is a special place in her heart for sci-fi, fantasy and action films. Among others, Jen has played a chaotic sorceress rogue, a rebellious alien, a vampire and a godling. She loves the opportunity to work with a creative, passionate crew and take on characters that challenger her emotionally and physically.

Jen Page herself is a bit of a bohemian/geek/artist/nonsensical/tough girl/gamer/fey who really digs pixels, nerds, roller coasters, gaming, sci-fi/fantasy, music, and squirrels.

But not necessarily in that order.

Don Early is the director of Dead Gentlemen Productions, a group of filmmakers located in the Seattle/Tacoma area of the Pacific Northwest, as well as Los Angeles, CA. Their recent film The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, is currently distributed byAnthem Pictures and Paizo Publishing. Dead Gentlemen met each other over 1996–97 while attending Pacific Lutheran University in Tacoma, WA. Between 1998 and 2000, the Dead Gentlemen filmed two feature films: Demon Hunters, and its sequel, Demon Hunters: Dead Camper Lake. The films were met with great acclaim on campus. In 2001 they shot what would be their flagship property for many years to come, a 45-minute featurette called, The Gamers. With the success of The Gamers, in 2002 the group founded Dead Gentlemen Productions, LLC.

Since then, Dead Gentlemen Productions produced several comedy sketches and short films, the high definition feature The Gamers: Dorkness Rising, and co-produced with Margaret Weis Productions, creating the Demon Hunters Roleplaying Game, containing the newly canonized world of their original Demon Hunters and a short film entitled: The Brotherhood Orientation Video. To this very day the Dead Gentlemen exercise their super power of unmatched collaboration to create projects together.

We return to our alma mater, Pacific Lutheran University on Friday, May 7th at 6pm in Ingram 100. That’s right folks, this is where it all began over 10 years ago, with the creation of Demon Hunters. Ben Dobyns, Matt Vancil, Steve Wolbrecht, and Don Early will be talking about how it all began, how PLU has influenced the past 10 years, how the Classics Department influenced our work, and where we are now and what’s to come.

We’ll be showing clips from our work, as well as scenes from Matt’s new project JourneyQuest. The event is open to the public and it’s free.

A big thanks to Dr. Eric Nelson and Giovanna Urdangarain for inviting us for this event. Incidentally, a little known fact is that Giovanna Urdangarain wrote the Spanish Subtitles for us on The Gamers!

Come see the Dead Gents at Emerald City ComiCon!

We’ll be at the Comic Book Ink booth (#1017) SATURDAY, March 13th from 1:00pm – 4:00pm down by the food court! We’ll be selling DVDs and signing DVDs. Feel free to bring stuff you want us to sign. See you there!

Medieval Zombies Needed!

We are looking to find a few more medieval zombie extras for JourneyQuest. We are shooting Tuesday March 9th near Astoria, OR. Potential extras must have medieval shoes! Please send a photo of yourself in distressed medieval clothes (brown, grey, old, even tattered if you have such, unlikely but you never know), and another picture of your shoes.  Interested? Please contact nebutron(at)gmail.com today.

We will feed you human food only, no actual brains (this time). Lodging is not available – carpooling is recommended.
