was shot at Ballyhoo Ice Cream & Candy<\/a>, West Pittston.<\/p>\nYou can view \u201cBitter Souls\u201d on demand at Tubi at any time.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurvive the End,\u201d according to IMDB, is a \u201cgripping tale of family, resilience, and the dark secrets that rise from the ashes of a fallen world.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s a post-apocalyptic movie,\u201d Savakinus said. \u201cWe are filming scenes at the Moonlite Drive-in as a background for the wooded area. We are using the screen itself, the concession stand, where you have a bunch of looters tearing the place up, and we have a law enforcement vehicle (courtesy of Pittston Twp.), military vehicles, and we brought on actors Jeremy London and Vernon Wells.\u201d<\/p>\n
London stars as one of the featured characters in the movie, as well as veteran Australian actor Wells, who has appeared in over 235 productions, including \u201cThe Road Warrior\u201d (\u201cMad Max 2\u201d), \u201cHomicide,\u201d and \u201cMatlock Police,\u201d as well as 18-year-old Richmond, Virginia resident, Arianna Harris, who has appeared in over 20 productions.<\/p>\n
London, now 53, was a child actor who appeared in 89 episodes of \u201cParty of Five\u201d (1995-2000), 37 episodes of \u201c7th Heaven\u201d (2002-2004), and 38 episodes of \u201cI\u2019ll Fly Away\u201d (1991-1993).<\/p>\n
His film credits include \u201cMonsters Anonymous\u201d (2016) and \u201cMallrats\u201d (1995). In total, he\u2019s appeared in over 120 productions.<\/p>\n
Savakinus is happy to have London\u2019s name attached to the move, giving the project credibility.<\/p>\n
\u201cHaving a name actor attached to a project means potential distribution,\u201d London said. \u201cAnytime you can get a known actor\u2019s name, even if it\u2019s for one scene, just helps. The way selling a movie happens, it works when you have a celebrity in there; if you can put it on your poster, it just helps selling the project.\u201d<\/p>\n
Success came easily early on for London when he was attached to a high-profile TV series.<\/p>\n
\u201cI went from one award-winning show to the other to the other, and I wasn\u2019t ugly, so that didn\u2019t hurt,\u201d London grinned. \u201cI was so fortunate to work and learn from such actors as Sam Waterston (\u201cLaw & Order\u201d), Regina Taylor (\u201cI\u2019ll Fly Away\u201d), and a lot of incredible actors.\u201d<\/p>\n
London said it\u2019s never easy to transition from a child actor to an adult one; opportunities become more competitive and harder to land, but he said he\u2019s never giving up acting.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs actors, having steady work is not easy; it\u2019s not a realistic endeavor unless you get on a television series, which is very hard,\u201d London admits. \u201cI\u2019ve always had my hands in other things like teaching, and I had a landscaping business, and now I\u2019m a project manager, brand ambassador, and will be opening a restaurant in the near future.\u201d<\/p>\n
London said he moved from Miami, Florida to Bucks County several months.<\/p>\n
\u201cSurvive the End\u201d will be released mid-fall this year with premieres at the Moonlite Drive-in, the Circle Drive-in, various other drive-ins, then eventually to a streaming service.<\/p>\n
