Here's fearless leader John Ellis at the REELSTUFF film festival in Dayton Ohio last Thursday, March 12th...just hours before our special presentation of the Steve Canyon standout episode OPERATION INTERCEPT. John also delighted the audience by "interviewing" Steve Canyon creator Milton Caniff interactively on stage by utilizing a promotional film Milton recorded in 1963. More on this later.
I'm back from the whirlwind Dayton excursion which will have some surprising benefits to Steve Canyon TV fans. We met two people at Reelstuff that will have an impact on the upcoming Volume 3. Suprisingly, it was revealed that famed Korean War flier Dean Hess was the USAF Hollywood Liaison Officer to our TV series, and we were able to shoot a brief interview with him for our Volume 3 documentary. Then our second new friend Marc Malis, Vice President of Television Casting at Universal Studios for many years, who is helping us to try and find some production materials from Steve Canyon that have so far eluded us.
I want to mention that I had a GREAT time meeting all of the fans that showed up, and it was a lot of fun having a chance to chat about the series. Ron Kaplan and the crew at NAHF are to be commended on putting on such a class-act of a show, and I appreciate and am honored to have been asked to participate. Hopefully we can be a part of next year's ReelStuff as well!
On Wednesday of last week my hometown newspaper, the Wilmington Ohio News Journal did a nice little front-page(!) article on me (and ReelStuff) that some of you might enjoy, you can find it here.

Note that though Volume 2 is a bit late in being released it IS COMING and hopefully before the end of this month...and it is (in our humble opinion) really terrific! Please understand that there is a huge amount of work involved and we are unfortunately understaffed and underfunded...but hey, we are doing the very best we can to make this worth the wait.
We recently recorded OUTSTANDING commentary tracks with Aviation Historian James H. Farmer and Star Wars alumni Peter Kuran, also actors Sylvia Lewis and Richard Anderson. We are also about to finish recording the remaining two (of four) commentaries with Abel Fernandez and Robert Hoy together for the episodes they both appeared in, and commentary with artist and entertainment historian Brad Ulvila...and more!
Please reserve your copy of Volume 2 today! It's coming (right around the corner now) and we need as many pre-orders (as well as sales of the Special Edition DVD, caps, and Volume 1) in order to help us to bring you the remaining two volumes.
