The Hollywood Outsider – Film and Television Podcast | Reviews An award-winning film and television podcast for the fan in all of us
John Depew is unlike many filmmakers, as he was already an accomplished businessman when he decided to finally follow his dream and become an actor. After years of successful and award-winning work – including 2 EMACT awards for his theater work – John decided to go all-in and open his own production company, Wild Beagle Productions, as well he began directing his own films.
With Lazarus Rising, John Depew throws his talents behind an action-thriller revolving around a team of assassins. Listen as Aaron sits down with John for an exclusive interview to discuss Lazarus Rising, what it takes to make an independent film, how he manages to round up quality actors on a smaller budget, and much more.
A hit man and a woman with a secret try to evade teams of assassins headed by the lethal and relentless Mr. Gray, a low-level mob enforcer. Michael Fitzpatrick’s life was simple – nights with the beautiful Emma; then days littered by violence and bailing his genius, heroin addicted brother, Sean, out of trouble.
When Emma turns up on the hit list, everything changes. Michael (Mike Pfaff), Emma (Devon Ogden) and Sean (Sean Carmichael) find themselves on the run from the mob, led by mid-level dispatcher Dallen McCormick (Sal Rendino) and the merciless Mr. Gray (Adoni Maropis) who is called in to clean up the mess.
As the group evades death – Michael presses for the reasons behind Emma’s inclusion on the deadly list, Sean presses for Michael to ditch her and Emma presses to keep her secrets in order to get a fresh start.
With an election nearing and Senatorial hopeful James Connelly (Eric Roberts) unexpectedly getting involved, all paths converge and an explosion of wills and violence is imminent in Lazarus Rising.
