Director Statement

We ask our viewers to kindly remain patient and give “The Punisher: Nightmare FAN FILM” a fair chance. Despite being produced on a low budget with limited resources and featuring non-professional, younger actors, this film is brimming with heart and determination. Every member of our team poured their energy and commitment into bringing this story to life, and we are incredibly proud of the result. We also want to take this opportunity to give thanks to God for protecting us throughout the production process. Despite facing challenges such as filming without permits, executing high-speed car chases, breaking through walls and doors, enduring fight scenes that left us bruised and bloodied, and navigating icy rooftops, we persevered with faith and determination. We couldn’t have accomplished this without divine guidance and protection.

Director Statement

For many years, I have had the great opportunity of working with students in the Oliver Springs Music Club to create short films. We typically make 1 film every couple of years, and during that time, the students learn a great deal about the filmmaking process. During production, the children have recording sessions for dialogue and singing, and get to shoot on location with a film crew. Upon completion, we release the film and the children get to see their hard work pay off.
Our latest short film is a tribute to the Indiana Jones Film Series called “Indiana Jones and the Treasure of the Aztecs”, which is a tribute to the Indiana Jones film franchise, and on this project we’ve been blessed to have a cameo in our film by actress Karen Allen, who reprises her role as Marion from the Indiana Jones films. Thank you so much for taking time to watch and consider our film!
