PSB Slumber Party

Another vintage set of pictures from our first night hanging out all together at the hotel in Saint Louis the first night before shooting Season One of PSB back in January 2008. Brings back memories!

BFFs: Chris, Alex & Sara.

Getting to know Nick.

Chris and Habeeb: High School Buddies.

Always affectionate Alex.

Chris and Sara: Always Fierce!

Sam and Habeeb: Bro-tastic!

Sara and Andrew fooling around.

Here's some serious flashback boys and girls. Way back when we first started, the PSB cast and crew had a pool party at the Renaissance Grand Hotel in Saint Louis so everyone could get to know each other before shooting and go over some script/character notes. Pics below of the first and only PSB POOL PARTY!

Director Chris Conner with the actors.

Habeeb bares his hairy chest.

Nick always clowning around.

Looking over the next days shooting script.

The Boy King

Experience the magic, the mystery and the romance of the Arthurian Legend from an entirely new perspective, showing the young King Arthur and the cursed Prince Lancelot as soul mates bonded by an act of compassion, only to be torn apart the the manipulative Guinevere.

Inspired by the extraordinary photographs of Julia Margaret Cameron and the beautiful prose of both Tennyson and Mallory, now online, my silent mythological epic from film school: "The Boy King" (Parts 1 and 2) Starring Tyrus Cukavac and Sara Smaltz from Prep School Blues.

Part One. After drawing a mysterious sword from a stone, the Boy King Arthur undertakes an epic quest to release the soul of Prince Lancelot, trapped in the body of a hideous beast. On the way, he must contend with two mysterious witches. When he finally reaches the lair of the beast, will he be able to break the evil enchantment?

Part Two. Arthur has freed Lancelot from his beast form, but the machinations of the beautiful Lady Guinevere will destroy forever the spiritual connection between soul mates Arthur and Lancelot. Following a wedding and a betrayal, a terrible act of violence will bring about the end of a legend.

For more information on the Arthurian Legend, check out the amazingly extensive database online at the University of Rochester's Camelot Project for poetry, scholarship, artwork and more.

Vote most fabulous girl on PSB!

Who's the most fierce, fabulous, glamorous lady on the show? You decide.

Gabrielle (Sara Smaltz)

Rachel (Alyssa Peterson)

Cecelia (Emmy Yu)

Edgar (Andrew Fanelli)

He counts too!

TheComeOnGuys

Hey everybody, check out my cousin's webseries: The Come On Guys. It's a crazy slapstick comedy. You might recognize the location from Prep School Blues Season Three. In their own words:

Our comedy is random and on the spot. Its fun and enjoyable. We do whatever we think is funny and sometimes take it a bit overboard. No nonsense comedy!
