made on micro budget By Elsa Maxey There’s a new Sugar Land movie about to undergo a premiere at the Alamo Draft House on Thursday, Aug. 5, 7 p.m. at 1000 West Oaks Mall. The new release entitled The Legend of Action Man is directed, edited, and financed by Andy Young, Jamie McEnelly and Derek Papa, a team of college students from Sugar Land. Get this, it is being released in what is considered the most unconventional way, says one of its promoters--on iTunes. This is believed to be the first full-length feature movie shot in Sugar Land since Spielberg’s Sugar Land Express. The cast and crew, all college students are intent on helping revolutionize
the way movies are made and released. This first feature length film by Dingoman Production Cast and Crew cost less than $200 and its producers are probably the first in the nation to release it on iTunes, their first choice for the movie release and among the latest technology representing a favorite of younger audiences for information and entertainment. As for the plot, The Legend of Action Man features Action Man, a wanna-be superhero. His life changes when he’s asked to be interviewed for the news. The plot thickens when a murder is reported and he springs into action on his first case. Check out the movie trailer at www.youtube. com/dingoman9126.
