Atomic Robot News: Rachel Grubb - Eyes That Can Melt Your Heart - Film Making In A Uniquely Feminine Style

Rachel Grubb - Eyes That Can Melt Your Heart - Film Making In A Uniquely Feminine Style

Written By: Ken Hulsey / Rachel Grubb

As most of you know by now, the lovely actress, model, producer and writer (I'm sure that I missed something there) has graciously joined the blogging staff here at Monster Island News. Her recent article, "What I Want From The Next Batman Movie", really got the fans thinking, and talking. I really can't wait to see what she writes about next!

Though Rachel has joined the crew here, she still feels a little hesitant to post items that have to due with her own publicity, even though I told her that would be alright. I kinda get her point though, when you write about yourself, or your own projects, you could be conceived as being 'self-centered' or something else erroneous.

So, that being said, Rachel was kind enough to pass along a set of brand-new photos of herself, taken by photographer John Donegan in Nashville, Tn.

These images really bring out Rachels eyes, they really look as if the can see into your soul, which in many cases, can be a very scary and confusing proposition. Well, in my case anyway.

Rachel also sent along a copy of the press release for the debut of her film, "Why Am I In A Box":

The best vampire film ("Near Dark"), the best romance ("The Piano") and the best thriller ("Ripley's Game"): What do they have in common? They're all the work of women. Lady directors can rule the world. They get cinema, the magic, the mystery of these flipbooks on speed. No matter what the menfolk say, Tinsel Town is becoming a matriarchal society.

Just to prove it right, SILENT-BUT-DEADLY PRODUCTIONS, a home-grown all female production company dedicated to women in film, is having its first premiere on SEPTEMBER 24TH at RIVERVIEW THEATER. Included in the event are the feature WHY AM I IN A BOX, Written and Directed by “13 Hours in a Warehouse” star Rachel Grubb, as well as the three shorts YOUNG EYES, A BROKEN FAMILY, and A YOUNG HEART, Directed by Brooke Lemke.

Above all, Brooke Lemke and Rachel Grubb, stars of “Cave Women on Mars” and the producers of SILENT-BUT-DEADLY PRODUCTIONS, want to do things their way. Every frame will be distinctly their own. No compromise. No masculine middle man. Nothing between their minds and the movies they want to make. WHY AM I IN A BOX concerns a lazy writer and her deranged muse. YOUNG EYES and A BROKEN FAMILY look at family dysfunction, and the dysfunction between young women and their self-images.

The duo's first three films will debut on SEPTEMBER 24th at the RIVERVIEW THEATER, doors will open at 8:45pm, and screening begins at 9:30. There will be a Q&A with the Filmmakers and Company Owners until 11:30pm.

Many of you may recognize Rachel's signature pink dress in one of these shots. That particular garment, according to Rachel, is a photographer favorite. You can also see her with it on in "Strip Club Slasher", though I don't know how long she keeps it on in the movie.
