About the Crew
Brad Alsobrook - Brad Alsobrook was born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee. He is an avid film buff and DVD collector. Brad always had an interest in filmmaking but never had the opportunity to get it started, until he met Anthony Howald. Anthony, who also had a longtime interest in filmmaking, approached Brad with an idea... The Idea was to make an independent film. That idea also led to the birth of Rusted Sun Films. Rusted Sun Films first attempt at filmmaking was "The Visitor". It was chosen to play at the Indie Memphis Film Festival in 2003.
In 2004, Rusted Sun Films would take on their first feature film. A local actor had managed to convince Brad and Anthony to make his feature script, "A Cowboy's Silver Lining" into their first feature length film. Over six months of weekend filming, they completed filming and editing, making a slot for the premiere showing at the 7th Annual Indie Memphis Film Festival. The show was the first sell-out in the 7 year history of the festival.
In 2006 Rusted Sun Films premiered their second feature film, "Divine Manipulation of the Threads", a comedy film about a gang of thieves planning a heist to rob the Federal District Reserve Bank. A series of pulp gangsters come out of the woodwork bringing back events from the past and debts that still have to be paid. Somewhere along the way all of the 'Threads' pull together for a clever heist that seems too good to be true.
In January 2007 Brad and Anthony met with Ken Axmaker to discuss some movie scripts Ken had and they all became instant friends and have been working together ever since.
Ken Axmaker - In his final semester of college, Ken Axmaker, Jr. realized he wanted to be a film maker. He graduated MTSU with a B.S. in Aerospace Administration, and then attended film school at the University of Memphis where he made several shorts on film. He also worked in such films as The Firm, The People vs. Larry Flint, and Walk the Line. He turned to the still camera in 1996, and became an accomplished photographer.
Ken has been published on the cover of several phone books and in national magazines. His company, Time and Motion Publications, published a calendar of Memphis in 1998 featuring his photographs. He took a five year hiatus from photography and video and film production to be a pilot.
Returning to the business in 2002, Ken started Time and Motion Productions where he has been producing video memories and photography services. In the spring of 2004 he did the production stills and behind the scene footage for the feature Rookie Bookie. He finished production of his shorts Man-tute and A Waste of 02 in 2004. Man-Tute was selected for the Script-2-Screen Independent Film Festival 2006 and won Best Comedy Runner-Up at that fest. A Waste of O2 was shown in the Indie Memphis Film Festival in 2004 and at the Bare Bones International Film Festival in April 2006.
Ken completed directing and editing the production of Service With a Smile in July 2005. Service premiered at the Script-2-Screen Independent Film Festival in October 2006. He also has a part in the upcoming movie, Curbside Confessions. Ken is presently hitting the film festival circuit with, Bad People and is busy with the monthly LTTM Shorts Festival that airs on WYPL, channel 18 in Memphis, Tennessee.
Anthony Howald - Anthony Howald started Rusted Sun Films with his friend Brad Alsobrook in 2002. As an audio engineer and musician, Howald had dreams of putting together a short film "just to see if he could do it." That short project became RSF's first short film, THE VISITOR (2003). The short gathered some acclaim as the production quality was far above and beyond that of a first time effort. Through making his first production he become engrossed in Memphis' local film community. Making friends through actors and NO-BUDGET filmmakers alike, he coined what is now referred to as "The Rusted Sun Films Family."
Howald was later approached by Bevan Bell to help put A COWBOY'S SILVER LINING (2004) into production. Howald would serve as Co-Director, Executive Producer, Audio Supervisor, and Assistant Camera Operator on the project. Through a heavy process of overcoming obstacles with No-Budget, A COWBOY'S SILVER LINING went on to win an award at the Barebones International Independent Film Festival.
Howald and Bell would again work together on completing, DIVINE MANIPULATION OF THE THREADS (2006). An agreement was made and Anthony would this time take the helm as Director of the picture as well as his other duties as Production Manager, Assistant Camera Operator, Audio Supervisor, and appear in the film through a cameo taking on the silent role of Sebastian the Gay Cowboy.
Howald continues to use Rusted Sun Films as a platform to produce high-quality, low-to-no-budget films in the Memphis, TN area.
