Looking to get in touch with…
I know that some industry folk read my website, so I figure I may as well give this a try.
I’ve largely relied on my research skills and various connections to track people down that worked with PM, but there are a few that have managed to elude me.
Judy Yonemoto - A longtime makeup artist and hair stylist for PM from about 1987 - 1995. She has since gone onto bigger and better things, having worked on the entire run of “Malcolm in the Middle” and, since that shows cancelation, “Weeds.”
Wings Hauser - The great actor who directed three movies for PM — Art of Dying, Living to Die, and Coldfire. I sent an e-mail out to the address listed on his IMDb ‘Contact’ page, but I have no idea if it is real or not.
C. Thomas Howell - A longshot, but why not try? Howell directed and starred in Pure Danger for the company, and according to a source had a difficult time as a result of the largely comedic script being cut to emphasize the action element of the film. He also acted in a few other movies.
Jacobsen Hart - A writer responsible for many PM movies in the mid-90s.
George Shamieh - PM Entertainment’s Head of International Sales for many years as well a partner in the company from around 1991 until the end of the company. George is now the CEO of American Cinema International. I’m sending him an e-mail tonight but if any readers know him personally it would be a big help if you shot him an e-mail as well.
Here’s a kinda related news about PM Entertainment.
Apparently Joseph Merhi’s last directed movie (after a 10-year hiatus) will see the light of the sun as a direct-to-dvd exclusive to be released fall 2008 by MGM.
I was at PM off and on from around 96 to whenever it closed. ? 1999 or 2000 somewhere in there. I edited movies Executive Target, Extramarital, and several others including the Master P’s Hot Boyz.
Feel free to e-mail me about PM. It was a fun place to work.
Best,
John
