most cutting edge tool I could ever wish for, but it also enables
us to deliver our product quickly, with unlimited creative freedom,
sufficiently and way below budget. And don't let me forget to

Dan
and Sherrie work very closely with writer, director, producer

insure that every role, from day players to the lead actor have
been filled with the most talented and appropriate actors. "Before
the special effects and action sequences the Thrillseekers cast
is the utmost most important element of the film. If the audience
can connect with the cast they will be drawn into the story
and the characters. It's important that the actors accomplish
that emotional connection with the audience." says Pfitzner.
"The
character of Melanie Hendy, which is based on a real-live person
is really the heart and soul of the film." Dan states.
"We are very careful in finding just the right actress
that can imbody the spirit and feel of the real life Melanie.
It's all about finding the diamond in the raw. Actors that have
the perfect look and feel, and a great ability to become the
part. This picture definitely has a lot of heart, next to a
lot of action and spectacular effect."
Sherrie
Henderson comments: "We are very particular about the projects
we take on and this one is very close to my heart. It's got
all the great action and effects of the original Star Wars,
Aliens, Terminator or Indiana Jones movie, but it has a very
unique perspective and incredibly human story behind it. I can't
wait to see how Robert will bring out all the emotions and feelings,
which the script holds. The audience will be on the edge of
their seats, running, ducking, fearing and cheering with the
characters and at times will have a tear or two in their eyes.
Pfitzner is a top-notch filmmaker, who demands the best results
from the people he works with. It's up to Dan and I to provide
him with the best new talent possible and we are willing and
able to give him that!" Pfitzner says, "In the short
time I've worked with Dan and Sherrie I was very impressed with
their professionalism, knowledge and connections that they bring
to the table. I have a strong feeling that the cast for Thrillseekers
is going to be spectacular!"
