“ROCKABILLY BABY”By Ken Farmer

Synopsis

Baby Boy Watkins almost destroys his rise toRock and Roll fame before he comes to termswith the impact his success has on thoseclosest to him. This rollercoaster dramaemotionally intertwines the lives of threepeople during the Rockabilly era.

Rockabilly rolled out of Tennessee and tookthe world by surprise. It was a time whenJerry Lee Lewis, with his boogie-style piano playing and a young ElvisPresley created a phenomenon known as the Rock Concert.

It was a time when Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, Buddy Holly and theEverly Brothers were combining Negro rhythm and blues with acountry-western sound and “tearin’ it up” all over the Southeast.

It was the ROCKABILLY ERA... and when it was over... Nothing wasever quite the same.

From an original stage play by Leslie Jordan. Adapted for the screen byKen Farmer.

“ROCKABILLY BABY”DIRECTOR’S STATEMENT

Twenty years ago, I met Leslie Jordan in Los Angeles. Hewas going to do the stage play he had written, Rockabilly Baby, inBurbank. My wife, Kathrine Steele, auditioned for the part of‘Jollene’ and as such, got a copy of the play. I read it through as Ihelped her prepare for the audition. I told her that this was one hellof a story and would make a great movie, one day. Well, as itturned out, Leslie’s money to do the play fell through and the playwas never produced.

But, ten years later when I started coaching acting, I pickedsome scenes from the play for class work. One of my earlystudents was a skinny kid named Denton Blane Everett. I gave hima ‘Baby Boy’ monologue from the play, he absoluted devoured it and said, “Coach, wegotta do this as a movie.” (There’s something I heard about great minds, don’t rememberwhat.) I told Denton, I had come to the same conclusion and called Leslie for permissionto write a screen play based on his stage play. He thought that was a wonderful idea. Icranked out the screenplay and started the inevitable process of looking for money. And,surprise, eight years later, we shot it.

I had become good friends with a retired Delta pilot in Gainesville, Buck Stienke,about three years ago. He became interested in the movie business and asked to readsome of my scripts. To make a long story short, he liked “Rockabilly Baby” and askedwhat it would take to shoot it. I told him what I thought. Buck replied, “I can come up withmost of it, let’s do it”. He found a couple of guys in Gainesville for the balance.

With only 30 days of prep, we started shooting. Eleven days later and 421 set upsand with only two hours of overtime, we finished primary photography. We broke for sixweeks to finalize the music performance numbers and shot those in two days plus half aday for pick-up shots with an additional 126 set-ups.

I was asked by many people how we managed to shoot 106 pages in 14 days. Myreply was, “We had a hell of a Producer and DP, Jim Roberson, a dedicated ExecutiveProducer, Buck Stienke and a very talented Cast. My philosophy on Directing is four fold;1. Have a great Script. 2. Cast (get the right actors for the characters). 3. Supply the Visionto cast and crew. 4. Stay the hell out of everybody’s way and let them do their jobs.

"ROCKABILLY BABY" PRIVATE SCREENING (SNEAK PREVIEW in DALLAS, TEXAS - May 29, 2008)

From Leslie Jordan, writer of the stage play, "Rockabilly Baby".

Ken... I cannot tell you how impressed I was. What I noticed that Ihad never noticed before was what an amazing "character study" thepiece is. Those actors gave such fully realized performances that you sawthe "wants and the dreams" of each actor in a very vivid, clear cut way.It really is a beautiful marriage of writing, directing and acting. Had anyone of us not done our job to it's fullest (since there really is not a lotof action) the whole thing would have fallen on it's face. That is alwaysthe biggest concern, I think, when taking a theatre piece to film... thelack of action. The "rule," if there is such a rule, is that on stage youTELL the story but on film you must SHOW the story. Well, you didboth and it worked. Most importantly, IT WORKED.

Thank you and thank your cast. I tell you what, those boys sureain't hard on the eyes either. I am an aging homo who has been blessedwith a deep appreciation for BEAUTY and watching that film was likegoing to a FINE ARTS MUSEUM!!!

Love. Light. Leslie Jordan - Writer of Stage Play, ROCKABILLY BABY

Dear Ken,

As I sat there watching it unfold I felt privileged and grateful tobe there. Most of the time on the edge of my seat.

What a splendid job by all concerned! I was riveted. And no carchases, extravagant scenery, nudity, blood and violence, justconsummate, compelling performances by extraordinarily talented actors.

18

If you had the world to choose from you could not have come upwith a better cast. Great job of casting and kudos to you for staying outof their way and letting them rock and roll. The best kind of directing.My hat is off to you and your "kids," Denton, Todd, Brandi, Kelly,Maeghan and all the rest. Denton, Todd and Brandi carried the piece likethe giant stars they are bound to become. Didn't get to meet Todd buthope that I will sometime. Congratulations to Buck for having the goodsense to support y'all. I was also impressed with the quality of thedigital photography. Pretty neat.

God bless you and the best of "British Luck" to all of you. Thanksfor a great experience. Sincerely, Alex Cord (www.alexcord.com)

From Linda Dowell, SCREEN ACTOR’S GUILD

Hello, Ken & Buck.I just wanted to extend a big JOB WELL DONE for the wonderful

film you have created. I was very impressed with the performances andappreciate the opportunity to experience the sneak peek.

You've made the stars of Dallas shine!

Linda Dowell / SCREEN ACTORS GUILD - Regional Branch DivisionExecutive Director

From Linda McAlister, Linda McAlister Talent

Texas talent totally SHINED and glittered in this excellentcharacter driven film: talent, director, crew, music, equipment, locations,wardrobe. A total top shelf production that truly makes us all veryproud. AND with no nudity, no action, just crisp, sassy dialogue. Someclichés, yes, but it was the era that clichés were created. Fun times.

19

I do hope you can arrange a screening for the film critics. This isworth it! No major stars are in it. They aren’t needed and I don’t thinkanyone will care since all performers in this little gem of a movie are starquality.

This Texas is very proud of what our industry can do! With theright resources, it’s magic. Truly.

Ken, you did an incredible job! Please do keep us posted for futurescreenings and developments.

Staying tuned!LindaLinda McAlister Talent

Rikard ErricksonFilm Critic - DVDFORUM - STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN

Hi Ken!Now I’ seen Rockabilly Baby, and here are my thoughts:

I think it's very brave to do a period film on a limited budget. It alsosuceeds in a place where other period films most often fail: The dialoguefeels very realistic. Of course I wasn't born back then, but I hate itwhen movies clean up the language and soften the drama. It feels likeRockabilly Baby depicts the time, and not people’ sentimental memories ofthe time.

Of course this couldn't happen without great actors and you reallycasted gold here. I had to imdb Todd Farr and I was so surprised thathe hasn't done more. He's astounding in this flick. It been a long timesince I saw someone so hard to read and to know what to think of. Ican't help to like him even when he's at his most unlikeble. His andDenton's performances also makes for one of the most realistic depictions

20

of male friendship that I ever seen. That's exactly how I am with myfriends and I'm sure that it is how best friends have interacted in alltimes.

The negatives are that due to the limited budget the flick spends alittle too much time in the apartment. It shows that it is very faithful tothe stage play, but maybe a bit too faithful. Then it's a very smartmove to cut to the lovely flashbacks, but this also leaves me aching formore. Especially Dirty and Jollene's first meeting at the car. I wouldhave loved to see that scene continued into a full-on love scene. I alsolove the split-screen between the b/w past and the color "present" whenBaby Boy realizes that his music can't save all people. This scene and thevery powerful end shot are the two strongest scenes for me.

Overall Rockabilly Baby is a fine low budget movie. Not really thekind of film that I usually like but it kept me interested from frame oneto the end of the credits.

Thank you for the opportunity to see your film before the Europeanrelease. Keep me posted about Berlin and other European film festivals.It would be great to meet you at a sold-out screening in any Europeancity!

Rik

Ken,I know you are swimming in some glory at the moment, but I just

wanted to say thanks for the invite. I enjoyed Rockabilly. It was a greataccomplishment. I still can’t believe you shot it in 14 days. That isamazing. Great adaptation and directing.

Thanks for the evening.Ben Dane
