Grey Agenda's Mad Scientist Robb Hudspeth

Meet Grey Agenda Star Robb Hudspeth

Actor:  Robb Hudspeth plays Mad Scientist Dr. Pruitt in 

Slo Rowe Entertainment's upcoming film Grey Agenda

 Tell us about how you got involved with Grey Agenda

Robb Hudspeth: Grey Agenda Producer Suzanne Racz sent out an audition notice to the students in my acting studio (TBell’s).  I saw the breakdown and instantly zeroed in on Dr Pruitt.

How did you feel after the audition?
RH: I was asked to audition for some additional roles but wasn’t interested.  For me it was Dr Pruitt or bust, I felt like the part was written specifically for me.  I knocked that audition out of the park, where it landed in another park, bounced and then flew out of that one as well. 

You play Dr. Pruitt, tell us about him
RH: He’s just a misunderstood genius who wants to make a better world.  If you want a beautiful garden sometimes you have to pull some weeds… and then you pull the guts out of those weeds.

Robb and guard Morris Jones getting ready for a take 

What kind of research did you do for Dr. Pruitt?

RH: None,  Got it and understood him right away,  he’s JUST LIKE ME!

Dr. Pruitt has been called a mad scientist. Who are some of your favorite film mad scientist? 
RH: Jeffrey Combs as Herbert West in the Re-Animator movies, the Peter Lorre-like mad scientist in the old Bugs Bunny cartoons and of course Steve Martin in “The Man With Two Brains"

You also teamed up with Director Larry Stanley on the Films Mr.Happy Pants and An Innocent Hell. How does Grey Agenda compare to those?

RH: All of Larry’s previous films dealt with his sex life so it was refreshing to work on a film more firmly rooted in reality. 

Robb and Larry are forced to dance at gun point on set.

You have also worked with several members of the cast before,how was working with such familiar cast? 

RH: Everyone already knew I was a weirdo so I didn’t hold anything back, I wouldn’t dare disappoint them.

Looking at your imdb page it looks like you worked on Carter High, is that the biggest project you ever worked on?

RH: It was cool to have a scene with Charles S Dutton (Roc), so definitely the most accomplished actor I’ve had a chance to work with.

Are you a football fan? If so,what team (or teams) do you route for?

RH: Dallas Cowboys and SMU Mustangs.  I’m a homer.

Dr. Pruitt wondering Why these cages are empty

Your character Dr. Pruitt is obsessed with creating an Alien-Human Hybrid race. If you were creating a an Alien Human Hybrid race, who do you abduct?
RH:Carly Capra, Savannah Low and Sandra Abernathy… why mess with a good thing?

Do you believe in Aliens? 

RH:I believe in a belief of Alien believability.

You can ask a Grey Alien one question, what would you ask?

RH:What is reality?

What was your most memorable moment on the set of Grey Agenda?
RH: The final fight scene.  I had bruises and a sore eye for days!

Any upcoming projects?
RH: Yes, really looking forward to the release of the web series “Yoga Garage” and “The Front” as well as some features that are currently in production.  please be sure to like my Facebook and IMDb pages to see what’s coming up!

After people watch Grey Agenda they will say:
RH: I really hope they find a way to bring that scientist guy back for the sequels!

Meet Grey Agenda Star Kasey Darlene

Actress:  Kasey Darlene plays Katie in Slo Rowe Entertainment's upcoming film Grey Agenda

How did you get involved with Grey Agenda?

Kasey Darlene- I found the casting online in a couple different places and decided to audition. I have been a ballet dancer since I was three years old, but I wanted to get involved in some more film acting.

Tell us about your character in Grey Agenda

KD-I see Katie as being kind of a sporty, all-American social butterfly. She also has an authoritative side that I (Kasey) haven't really had up until this point.

 How does Grey Agenda relate to other projects you have worked on?

KD- My role in Grey Agenda was my first speaking role when it comes to acting so it was very exciting for me! There is some acting involved in ballet, but it's not quite like film acting.

Kasey's first day on the set of Grey Agenda

Really, first speaking role? How did you prepare for that?

KD- My dance partner who is also my best friend has done some acting and was so kind to help me with my audition script! Other than that, just plain old practice. 

 

Grey Agenda has a seasoned cast and crew,  did they give you a hard time about being a newbie? 

KD-No. Which was very kind of them. =)

What did you learn working on Grey Agenda?

KD-How detailed movie making can be. It's almost as detailed as ballet... almost... haha! Just kidding. Kind of. I also grew tremendously as an actress. My character was a stretch for me at times.

What did you expected your time on set to be like going in, what was it like in reality? 

KD-I knew that it would be a pretty detailed job, but there were so many details that I just didn't think about until I got on set. Example: I am portraying a sporty character so I need to make sure I am not carrying myself like a ballerina princess... and that I don't mess with my hair too much so that it looks the same in every take. I also started with one of the most emotional scenes so I left the set feeling unusually emotionally tired.

What was your most memorable moment on the set of Grey Agenda?

KD-I guess I would have to say the first day. I just learned a lot about what it was like to have an important role on set and it was just a fun experience! 

Kasey and Andrew Sather are watching the blocking for the scene

Grey Agenda is about Aliens, do you believe in Aliens?

KD-No, sorry. =)

O.K. SO you are driving down the road and a UFO lands in front of you, what do you do?

KD-Pinch myself. Pray.

 What are you working on next?

KD-I have been doing a little bit of modeling and I am always dancing! In terms of acting, we'll just have to wait and see!

People leaving the theater after watching Grey Agenda will say? 

KD-I'm going to be the artistic, open-minded person who says that it all depends on perspective. But I do think that Grey Agenda is going to be an entertaining movie for sure though that will keep us all on the edges of our seats. Especially me! We have been working on this so long and I am just so eager to see the finished product!

John Baran:  I was kind of between gigs and on a Sunday I received a facebook text from Larry asking me what I was up to. I had auditioned for Larry about a year ago for a movie called “Decisions”.

"Grey Agenda" The Back Story

         Hello, my name is Larry Stanley and I am an Indie Film Producer in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. I am a partial owner of Slo Rowe Entertainment, a small video production company in DFW. I am the Slo and the other partners are the Rowes. Our latest film project is titled Grey Agenda.

As often on an Indie Film set I am wearing multiple hats on this project. I am the writer,director,executive producer,editor, director of photography, and I play Tex. Man, I got tired just typing that list of job duties, so you can imagine how worn out I was during production of Grey Agenda, actually doing them all. As off now, we have one production day left in August then Grey Agenda is wrapped, and we are on to post.

 There is no way I could have stayed on top of things on the Grey Agenda project,without a great crew! The Crew on Grey Agenda has been incredible to work with. I will tell you all about them,our very talented cast,how Grey Agenda lead me to True Love, and my run in with US ARMY Core of Engineers, in the weeks to come in this blog. Today, I want to go back to step one and fill you in on where the story of Grey Agenda came from .

 In late 2014 we had wrapped two Slo Rowe Projects; Decisions and the short film The Gospel of Thomas(both available on our youtube channel links below). The only other project we had in post was Proud Souls, but the great Andy Bowles was handling that one in New York. With two projects, wrapped and one out of my hands, that left me with that dangerous creative idle mind. I needed a new project stat! I started weighing through my options and talking to the Rowes about the next project. I had one complete faith based script we were tossing around producing next, a comedy with the Happy Pants boys we were working on that we could have pushed through, or Texas Lies , which is a script I have been talking about writing for years, but still haven't.

 Then one night while lying in bed, it happen. It was unexpected and out of nowhere! I was just lying there,watching Sports Center, and drifting off, as I often do when I heard this odd noise outside my bedroom window. It was this humming noise,that I have never heard anything like before. I got out of bed and went to the window to investigate, when I couldn't believe what I saw. There was what I can only describe as a UFO hovering, blinding me with it's flashing light. The next thing I know  I am waking up 5 hours later with no recollection of what had happen. I jumped to the logical conclusion that, I had either went on a blind date with Bill Cosby or I was abducted by Grey Aliens. Not only was I abducted, those little trouble making anal probers had implanted my next script in my head (warning parts of this blog maybe fabricated for entertainment purposes).

 Ok at least, the I was lying in bed part was true. Truth is I was lying in bed surfing youtube on my ipad when I discovered the story of an underground alien base in Dulce, New Mexico. I don't know how or why I first found this story,Aliens and UFOS weren't my usual YouTube searches. I was more into Bible Study (Seriously) and Final Cut X tutorials, but some how this story came up. The next thing I know,it is five hours later and mind is blown. I had a college like cram session and learned all about Phil Schneider,Thomas Castello,The Greada Treaty and the Alien Agenda. How could I not write some kind of story based off this?

 Two issues immediately crossed my mind, one I don't have a budget to shoot in Dulce, two I don't have a budget. Budget,Smudget I was going to write this thing. Besides the budget is the Rowe's end of the business, creating is mine. Since I knew I couldn't fake Dulce,New Mexico in Dallas,Texas I decided to change the setting of the story. What would be a perfect location near by? A man made lake, check! A city with unexplained events,check! My hometown Cedar Hill, Texas and Joe Pool Lake, check, perfect setting.

 Since the story of Dulce is a pretty popular one, I didn't want to tell it exactly as it is reported online. I liked the underground, base, loved the Aliens and Government Conspiracies elements. That morning, exhausted and blurry eyed from the all night cram session, I opened up Final Draft and started typing to tell my story Grey Agenda.

The characters were created and the script was one of the easier ones I have written, it just flowed. Sometimes while writing music moves me to write the script. Like when I wrote the film Decisions, I wrote the majority of it while listening to Ryan Bingham. Mr. Happy Pants was written during commercial breaks in football games. The film Proud Souls has a lot of Oklahoma ties. It was written while listen to a lot of Jason Boland (like you couldn't have guessed) and watching Pastor Craig Groeschel from Oklahoma's Lifechurch.tv. While working on Grey Agenda television was the background noise of choice.  The Walking Dead,Sons of Anarchy and The Lethal Weapon movies were all in my ear while Grey Agenda was becoming my next script.

 It took me roughly two months to complete the final draft of the script. Nine months later, Slo Rowe Entertainment has a new movie baby,heading to post. Pass the cigars this way! Congratulations It's an Alien human-hybrid!
