Writer/Producer/Director Richard O'Sullivan felt like he was discovering the Beatles for the first time when co-producer John Edmonds handed him a CD by acclaimed trombonist Kenny Carr (a virtuoso who's played with such heavy hitters as Erika Badu and Jill Scott). "Kenny's stuff is so traditional, it's untraditional...and vice versa," says the filmmaker. Buoyed by the energy of Carr, Edmonds (a respected video producer whose work appears on MTV and BET) and the team of O'Sullivan & Linda Jean Marlowe joined the musician this past weekend as he helmed a video shoot for his protégé, bass extraordinaire Sam Jenkins.

Two years after the controversial sinking of his first attempt at a feature, "Radio Free Babylon," Writer/Producer/Director Richard O'Sullivan has learned to take things in stride. "I usta be a lot quicker to anger," says the filmmaker. "But since the RFB thing, I've gradually come to realize that everything that happens in this business is just another new chapter for the book. I do tend to take the smaller battles a lot more personally though. Losing six million for a distribution deal or even a hundred grand for a TV movie-of-the-week script doesn't bother me nearly as much as having someone I bent over backwards for knifing me when I'm not looking." No longer stinging from the feud he had with his former associates on the RFB set in 2002, O'Sullivan now laughs when he thinks of his old foes. "I took a look at our former ["Radio Free Babylon"] DP's website the other day. He has an RFB screen capture from a scene we did at a gas station on his home page. Funny thing is, it was a shot that I blocked when he turned his back...five seconds after he threw a fit about people touching his camera. But I dunno, I guess I'm sorta flattered by it all now. It's been two years and they still have to steal from me in order to promote their careers. But whatever...God bless 'em if they need it that bad."

Behind-the-scenes footage from the upcoming "Communication Breakdown" is now online at this website. The clips feature star Dan Lashley interacting with the film's off-camera director, Richard O'Sullivan. "Richard was in a really strange mood that night," says the actor. "He kept doing this bizarre hillbilly accent, telling everyone he was Steven Spielberg's cousin from Arkansas...Bobby Joe Spielberg. I guess stress does different things to different people."

In yet another example of life imitating art, actor/producer Fred Hueston (who plays a twisted radio station owner in "Communication Breakdown") is gearing up to hit the airwaves as a real-life radio personality. Hueston, one of the world's leading experts on stone, marble, and tile issues and a longtime syndicated columnist/frequent cable TV guest, is in the planning stages to develop a home improvement-oriented show which promises to be both informative and entertaining. Hueston recently starred in the short film "The Magic Cornflake" and is also developing a television show entitled "Set in Stone." 

Actress Jasmin St. Claire, who will appear in the upcoming films "Swamp Zombies," "National Lampoon's Dorm Daze 2: Semester at Sea," and the Richard O'Sullivan-directed "Communication Breakdown", has signed on to promote the Black Metal line of Coffin Case guitar cases. The company's founder, Jonny Edwards, is thrilled to be working with Jas. "Jasmin is the real deal, and we are very excited about working with her in 2005 as she takes on the darkest division of Coffin Case." St. Claire will be promoting the new VX series of Coffin Cases that fit flying V's, Explorers, BC Rich Beast and all XXXtreme-shaped guitars.
