LANDSCAPE
The award winning series Spaceflight Review wrapped production at the Kennedy Space Center with the final Space Shuttle flight on July 8, 2011. The program began with the flight of STS-51 in 1993 and features launches, landings, astronaut interviews, facility tours, special interest topics, and behind the scenes specials. The program took a hiatus after 9-11 2001 because of new KSC Media restrictions which continued through 2003 due to the Columbia Accident. Thanks to all the great people at the Kennedy Space Center for all of their help over the last 18 years. Special thanks to the hard working folks at Waycross Television. The show was produced by Bob McMillan with assistance from technician, Rick Reardon.

The Midnight Hour (1962)
In 1989 I was given the opportunity to train with NASA to prepare to carry on Christa McAuliffe's dream to educate people about the space program. Since then I have produced several television programs about spaceflight and given many talks to thousands of students and adults about the past, present, and future of the United States Space Program.

Thane Maynard on The Midnight Hour
Cresentville involved about 2 months of rehearsal, about 5 months of shooting in 4 locations and about 3 months of editing. One location was an old, abandoned school which really added to the spookiness of the shoot. The movie aired on Warner Cable for about a month. The girls got the red carpet treatment again traveling by limousine to the riverboat where they enjoyed a deluxe dinner and the 2002 Blue Chip Cable Awards show live. The film won the award for Best Film in the entertainment category. The film then went on to win a Regional Philo Award for production excellence. Lisa and Annie were both featured in the local newspaper for writing the story and for the awards.

Cresentville and Cresentville 2 won both the top Blue Chip Cable Award in the short film category and the top Regional Philo Award for excellence in film production. The films feature actors Lisa McMillan, Annie Straub, Carrie Gohs, Amanda Stein, Maggie Straub Stephanie Gaffney and Brittany Dynes. Cresentville is a story is about two groups of girls who don't get along very well. One group tricks the other group into going inside a haunted, abandoned school called the Cresentville school. However, both groups get trapped inside and have to work together to get out of a scary situation. The story was written by Lisa and Annie. Cresentville 2 is a sequel that brings back the ghost from Cresentville.
Lisa and I were in a bookstore in 1999 when she found some scripts to a play. I told her that she could get some friends together and I'd make a movie. Months went by before she found enough people to participate. After a couple months of reheasal (and several cast changes)The Peabody Hotel was shot over 2 days. After several months of editing, the film played on Warner Cable. The film was nominated for a Blue Chip Cable Award so the girls were invited to the Live show and dinner on a B & B Riverboat on the Ohio River. The girls went down in a limousine and enjoyed an excellent dinner. The girls were surprised and thrilled when The Peabody Hotel won the award for Best Film in the entertainment category. The film went on to win a Regional Philo Award for production excellence. They were so excited to win that they wanted to make another movie....and so Cresentville was born.
After receiving my Master's Degree in Television and Film Production and Direction from Xavier University I began doing production work at Waycross Television. Over the years I have produced many award winning television programs and films. Below are samples of some of the programming I have produced and directed.
Cresentville 2
This program took 2 years to shoot and edit. (1994/95) I traveled all over the United States to video tape and document UFO sightings. This program has all the looks of a serious documentary. Only it's not. This is actually a UFO program parody, a satyrical look at the crazy world of UFO sightings. The title should give it away. I once entered the program in a video competition under the category Entertainment-Comedy. It was returned to me claiming I entered the wrong category.....should have been Documentary. So they must have believed all of the stuff I was saying. Really?? I actually made everything up!

Cresentville 2 was being written while shooting Cresentville. The sequel is about the Cresentville ghost getting inside Becca's house and causing problems. The film took almost 8 months to shoot in 4 locations and used a variety of special effect. Needless to say, keeping up with wardrobe, hairlength, and schedules was interesting. After nearly 4 months of editing, Cresentville 2 played on Warner Cable for a month. The girls were invited to the live 2003 Blue Chip Cable Awards program on the B & B Riverboat. The film won the awards for Best Film in the entertainment category, the 3rd year in a row that the girls won the award.

I had the opportunity to work on the set of Pacific Blue where I was able to shoot a video called The Making of Pacific Blue. The program starred Jim Davidson, Paula Trickey, Darlene Vogel, Marcos Ferraez, and Rick Rossovich. The episode pictured above was called "Rapscallions" and also starred Tom Towles as the bad guy and Anthony De Longis as the Ex Navy Seal. Most filming was in Venice Beach and was directed by Gary Winter.
