Eye of the Beholder

Tim is currently working on a new short movie, "Eye of the Beholder". He wrote the script and he also directed it on February 3 and 4, 2006, on a "spooky" deserted marine base in Tustin, California. Right now the movie is in post-production, with the editing almost finished. Charles Denler, who won the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and his first Emmy in 2004 for the PBS film "Bentley Creek", is scoring the film. Like "Déjà Vu", the movie is produced by Robert Michael Conrad and James Nestor. Once again, Mr. Conrad and Mr. Nestor have provided me with a preliminary draft of cover art and some pictures from the production site. Many thanks! Chances are good that the DVD will be ready for the Vegas convention in August! At any rate, there are plans to introduce the movie there. For information on the convention check out the Creation site. Tim, Garrett Wang, Chase Masterson and producers Bob Conrad and Jim Nestor will all be there to discuss "Eye of the Beholder", "Déjà Vu" and the latest project, Story by Amy Niles.

"Eye of the Beholder" premiered in L.A. on April 21, at 7:00 PM at Creative City Cafe. This premiere screening was attended by "Xena" producer Steven L. Sears and a group of independent Los Angeles film makers. It was a big success. The audience (full house and standing room only) loved the film.

May 15: If you can't wait to see it, there is a short trailer up at bobandjimprojects.com. I think it looks terrific!

Also, if you have any questions for the producers, Mr. Jim Nestor and/or Mr. Bob Conrad, about any of their projects, especially those with Tim, feel free to contact them at bobandjimprojects@yahoo.com.

The movie is about a woman, Natalie, buying a framed picture of a mysterious woman at a garage sale. But taking the picture home leads to problems for her, when she slowly falls under the pictured lady's spell.

The stars of "Eye of the Beholder" should be fairly familiar. Two of them have worked with Tim on previous projects. One of them is Chase Masterson (Leeta from DS9), the female star of "Déjà Vu", who also lent her voice to Flo, the Fly, on "Bugsters".

More about Chase at her official webpage.

Actor #2 is Bruce A. Young from "The Sentinel", who you may also remember from "Art Police".

The original team from "Art Police": Dan Chase, Tim and Bruce Young (l. to r.)

The third actor is no stranger to Star Trek-fans either, since Menina Fortunato portrayed the Orion Slave Girl "Maras" on Enterprise. I am trying to get a picture of her as well. In the meantime check out her official website!
