Paul (Ryan M. Place) and Ryan (Paul Jason Rambo) are ultra-sophisto coffee snobs searching for the perfect cup of coffee, searching for Aquapulp. Very fun two day shoot.

[flowplayer src=’http://margravepictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/holding_on_the_musical.flv’ width=540 height=360]
Written by Paul Jason Rambo, Directed by Dave Donaldson and shot by Matt Morley, this musical short involves two friends (Paul Rambo and Bobby Darby) and one partying harlot (Caitlin Burt) and how real friendship should always trump the dangerously toxic and inauthentic relationships that plague some.

A favorite here at Margrave Pictures, this fun little short was shot in one day in Canton, Michigan. Shallow end o’ the gene pool swimmers Larry (Paul Rambo) and Krystal (Angie Wright) accidentally happen upon a priceless Angolan statue and uncover a hideous shadow CIA plot in the process.

November Belongs to Asmodeus (2009)
[flowplayer src=’http://margravepictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/09/november.flv’ width=540 height=360 splash=’http://margravepictures.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/other.jpg’]
Fun little short shot in a few hours in Detroit on Dios de Los Muertos. Asmodeus the Lust Daemon (Tim Climer) rises once a year for the entire month of November to terrorize whatever unfortunate he selects. Unfortunately, he selected the exceedingly plausible antiquarian brainfood enthusiast and wine shop employee Tweet Ripley (Dale Climer).

Written and Directed by Dave Donaldson and shot by Ryan M. Place, this video was shot for a contest and Dave gets a beer bottle broken over his noodle in this by Jason Cowan. Good showcase of Mr. Donaldson’s unrealized acting talents.
