Overview
I've been a huge fan of the Mitch Rapp books written by the late, great Vince Flynn since I first read "Term Limits" in 1999. Rapp is the ultimate hero. As an actor, I'm grateful to have worked in a lot of cool projects, but I've always dreamed of portraying Mitch in some amazing action! I've teamed up with Filmmaker Paul DeNigris to make a short film worthy of Mitch. We've gathered a team of hugely talented professionals who are cool/kind/crazy enough to feel as passionately about this as me!

Mitch Rapp: Off Book

  • After graduating from Northwestern University, I was a professional soccer player, then a martial artist, then a tactical officer, and now an actor.  Throughout all that, I've been a massive Mitch Rapp fan. The combination of my adventures makes playing a guy like Mitch a dream role for me.  http://www.imdb.com/name/nm4103212/
  • When I heard that they are FINALLY making a Rapp film (American Assassin), I was fired up.  But, of course I'm not an A-List Star, and they cast Dylan O'Brien as Mitch Rapp.  No doubt, he's a huge teenage money-making star, and I hope the movie is great- really, I want it to be cool!  
  • BUT.  As happens with many feature films that are based on well-loved books, a lot of Rapp fans are anxious that American Assassin won't meet their expectations.  So, I am highly motivated to give the people what they want...  
  • I asked my friend and Filmmaker/VFX/jedi Paul DeNigris to partner with me in creating a world where Mitch can be showcased. http://www.pauldenigris.com/ 
  • He and his writing partner Steve Briscoe drafted a compelling story. http://www.stevebriscoe.com/ 
  • A great actor named Ayman Samman (American Sniper, Blindspot, NCIS:LA) http://www.aymanation.com/ and other talented actors loved the idea of the project and are excited to come and portray some iconic characters. 
  • Paul and Briscoe grabbed Martial Arts Master Richard Ryan, who is expertly designing some ridiculous action and fight scenes. https://www.facebook.com/actorRichardO.Ryan/  
  • LA-based Cinematic composer Mike Patti is creating a powerful score. http://www.michaelpatti.com/   
  • A hardworking, professional crew is chomping at the bit. 
  • We have secured a fantastic filming location in downtown Phoenix, AZ.    
  • Appropriately for this heart-pounding thriller, we are filming over three days of Halloween weekend.
  • Truly, I'm humbled by how this awesome team has come together! 

 

We Need Your Help!

  • This is a LOW-BUDGET short film.  Thankfully, because it's a passion project, everyone involved is truly excited about what we're doing and willing to "donate" their time and energy for so much less than they are really worth!
  • We need to raise about $5000.  This will be just enough to pay for all the people and places involved.  Cast, crew (camera, lighting, grips, assistants, etc), location, security guard, insurance, set dressing, props, makeup artist, costuming, and whatever unforeseen expenses pop up, which always do! 
  • If we can raise more than that minimum amount -PLEASE! :), that money will go straight into such awesomeness that I don't dare dwell upon too much yet, but trust me, it will be well-used!  Just for example, we'll be able to buy a couple of fake hammers that the bad guys will hit me in the head with instead of real ones...

Please Share!

We're hoping a whole bunch of people will give a couple bucks, since this truly has been a Team Effort from day one.  If you can, thank you!  If you can't, then maybe consider sharing with some folks who might be one of the lucky ones to have a few extra bucks lying around?  And either way- THANK YOU!!!
