I screened Nora's Hair Salon 3 Saturday night at the LAFSC theater as sort of my birthday party. It was fun watching it with an audience, the director came. Thanks to those who attended.

I found a clip of Walk By Faith 2: After The Honeymoon on Youtube:



HA! I think that's the first fart scene I've ever written into a movie and I'm sure it won't be the last. As I was writing it I was thinking 'Am I really going to go there?... Yes, yes I am.' Those socks are inspired by my life. For more relationship comedy and drama check that movie out. Here's a customer review (the only review on Amazon actually):

Walk By Faith 2 After the Honeymoon, February 15, 2011
By Larry Tate
This review is from: Walk By Faith 2 (DVD)
I received this movie as a gift and I was reluctant to watch it but I have to say that this film was very entertaining to watch with some stand out performances by Keikabou holland and Lance Gipson and the rest of the ensemble cast, nicely directed and edited by Brett Stumpp. Despite a lower budget this film was beautifully shot, great lighting and camera work by cinematographer michael woxland. This is a religious based movie about two couples where one couple married for many years and the other newlyweds who are both struggling to make there relationships work. I found this film to be very entertaining and touching and I would recommend it to anyone.

That's really nice.

Also, this is from the The End. blog:

 

We recently shot a several episode arc of The End. with an incredible new character (the most electrifying and controversial character since Chad The Casual Cannibal) played by a veteran Television and Film STAR. If you already know who it is don't spoil it for anyone.


Also, Bryan Mayer (The End.'s Johnny) got a haircut!!

Please watch all the previous episodes and spread the word about our guest star.

Thank you.

-The End.

We'll release the info in a week-ish, I'm not positive exactly when. We also put up some more behind the scenes photos on the blog.

No new news about any of my other writing projects but that could change any minute.

The Independent Film Channel has heard of Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster and has included it in the DVD new releases for 2/8/11 here.

Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster (2011)
Directed by Rico Johnson
Released by 1-2-3-4-Go

Amazingly, this "Barbershop" knockoff for the ladies has stuck around for one more film than the original that inspired it, bringing Miguel A. Nunez Jr. into the fold as a reality show producer who wants to do a series on the salon, but may not be as benevolent as he appears.

Barbershop for the ladies, I like the sound of that. I just got my copy of Nora's but I won't be able to watch it all weekend due to work and shooting for The End.

Big The End. news coming soon by the way.

I haven't seen NHS3 yet (soon, soon, soon) but I think this would make an awesome double feature. 

Two movies I wrote were released today! Here's what Rob Gonsalves over at http://dvdnavigator.blogspot.com/ had to say about them:

Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster - I guess there was more story to tell that wasn't explored in Nora's Hair Salon and Nora's Hair Salon 2?

Walk by Faith 2 - Sequel to a movie nobody except devout African-American Christians even knew existed.

Haha, although super sarcastic he's kind of right! I'm sure he'll never watch either of them though, but he should, I have yet to see NHS3 but Walk By Faith 2 turned out pretty good.

Synopses!!!

Walk By Faith 2
A warm faith-based movie about two couples and the
parallel lives they lead that will ultimately cross. First we
are introduced to the young newlywed couple, Shannon
and Jamal, who are struggling to figure out if their new
cohabitation will work or if early jitters will destroy what they
are hoping to build. Meanwhile, Yvette and Clarence, an
older couple who have been married for over 25 years, find
themselves stagnated and must overcome a desire to end
their union after all these years. 

Nora's Hair Salon 3: Shear Disaster 
Delicious (T. Ashanti Mozelle) is in charge of maintaining
Nora's legacy and tradition by running & managing the shop.
The dysfunctional group of hairstylists consisting of Janelle,
Nina, Xenobia, Tashina, and manicurists Ming and Ling are
still up to their old antics!
One day, reality show producer Charles (Miguel Nuñez)
enters the shop. Captivated by the goings-on inside,
he proposes that Nora's Hair Salon have its own show.
Immediately, the salon crew signs on with hopes of money
and fame, but they get more than they bargained for when
they learn that Charles has ulterior motives. Now, the crew
must come together to see that this reality tape never sees
the light of day.
A hilarious urban comedy not to be missed!

A Peter L. Huber Joint

So I found out yesterday that Walk By Faith 2: After the Honeymoon, a movie I wrote, was released on DVD at Wal-Mart on January 11th, the release date for everywhere else I think is still February 8th.














Along with Nora's Hair Salon 3.













So, after work last night I drove to a 24 hour Wal-Mart to buy a copy of my own movie, which I didn't mind doing, it was an adventure. I had asked the Producers for copies and they said they didn't have any yet and I couldn't wait to watch the movie to see how it turned out.

On the back cover of the DVD it says Written By Peter L. Harmon, which is so cool to me, it's written in that standard movie credits font, awesome.

Then, I put in the movie and the first thing I see is that the movie is written by Peter L. Huber!!!! They didn't really misspell my name as much as just use a fake different silly name instead of mine. At this point I'm sure it's too late to do anything about it, in the opening and ending credits a lot of people's names, as well as simple words like Background, are misspelled.

I'm not too mad, it says the right name on the back cover and IMDb, Ash and I have been joking about it all day. The thing that does suck though is that the movie is actually pretty good, good acting, shot well, lit well, it actually looks good EXCEPT for my name in the opening credits. What I'm saying is so close to being an entirely positive experience.

Oh well.

There are some exciting projects brewing, as well as some writing I'm doing for myself because it's fun, that's how it started and how it's supposed to be.

The other day Orlando Brown called with an idea for a movie that he wants me to write for him. I outlined it, we talked about the outline on the phone and he's into it, we're hopefully meeting soon to finalize the outline, talk about possible payment(!), then I can write the script.

I also talked to an actor from Walk By Faith 2 last night, he said that he loved the script I wrote. It's rewarding for people to respond to things I've written and it helps me continue even though it's hard to work a full time job, have a family, and try to pursue something creative. January was tough but I think 2011 in general will be an exciting year (I mean, I know it will because Christian will join us in June, but I mean writing wise).

For my birthday this year (I'm turning 25, which is crazy) I'm going to screen one of my new movies that I wrote, I probably wouldn't get to see them on the big screen, or with an audience, otherwise. If you're friends with me on facebook the invite is here.

In conclusion, this is an awesome still from the The End. episode I acted in.

Janu-hairy

I'm in this week's episode of The End. I play Chad the Casual Cannibal.



If you haven't seen The End. please check it out. You can watch every episode here. I grew that beard just for the episode and I had to get a professional shave to get rid of it because it was pretty thick.

We had another shoot day for The End. on Sunday, we shot four more episodes and they're pretty ambitious, we have big things planned for the end of The End.

Also, if you're going to buy the movies I wrote please buy them from my blog. I haven't gotten copies of them yet but I hope to soon!














I have another draft of Happenstances to do but I finished the drafts of those two projects I was working on before the break so I'm currently writing something that I just want to write, for fun, that might never see the light of day but it's fun writing it and it's another addition to the world I'm creating with my work.
