The Jolly Rogers: Pirate music, sea shanties and comedy
THE CREW:
Kurt Hanover
Headshots:
Kurt joined the Jolly Rogers
to forget the horrors of Vietnam. He was never actually there, of
course, but his job as a film projectionist forced him to see one too
many films on the subject. Over time, the flashbacks have slowed until
they only happen occasionally (with the help of extreme and
controversial psychoanalytical techniques, which for some reason
includes hamsters). Today, he remains with the Jolly Rogers to forget
the horrors of World War II, thanks to films like Saving
Private Ryan.
In addition to his work with
The Jolly Rogers, Kurt has been acting in various independent film and
television projects! His work includes:
SHUNNED: A low
budget slasher film set in the Old West in which Kurt plays the local
sheriff - and meets an untimely end! THE SHUNNED was screened in
Kansas City in March of 2005 and was picked up by Silver Nitrate
Entertainment for distribution on DVD; it was then purchased by Anchor
Bay Films in 2007 and gained wide DVD release across the country.
Following are some pics from the premiere:
An alien is
accidentally released from a secret government lab and wreaks havoc!
Kurt plays Sgt. Hicks - who meets an untimely end! What a shock! XELINE is
still in post-production getting the final spit-and-polish
before it's released! During production, Kurt had the great
opportunity to work with B-movie scream queen legend Below is a picture
of Kurt with Brinke and local actor Gaitan:
OF LIFE: A story
about a man who is forced onto an unconventional path in coming to terms
with his daughter's alternative lifestyle. Kurt plays a supporting
role and does NOT meet an untimely end! It's a breakthrough!
CHANGE OF LIFE is currently being submitted to film festivals.
Set in the seedy and
dangerous world of illegal underground boxing, RIGGED is a story of two
unlikely friends coming together to beat the odds and their past.
Kurt plays the film's villain, Clark Richter and does NOT meet an
untimely end! It's a trend! Shooting began in November 2005
under the direction of Jonathon Dillon. Principal photography
officially wrapped in July of 2006 and since then the film has been
going through the post-production process and has already been submitted
to various film festivals. Below is the poster for the film and
some production photos:
BLOOD: THE BORDER
WAR THAT TRIGGERED THE CIVIL WAR: A documentary produced by Kansas
City's PBS station, KCPT19, BAD BLOOD details the events of the
Missouri-Kansas Border Wars that took place in the mid-1850's.
Kurt plays Charles Robinson, abolitionist and free-stater and first
governor of Kansas. BAD BLOOD will premiere on KCPT on March 4,
2007!
UPDATE:
The BAD BLOOD premiere was a great success! Thanks to all who
tuned in! They continue to repeat the show on KCPT, so keep an eye
out if you haven't had chance to see it yet! If you're not in the
Kansas City area, the plan is to try to distribute the show to other PBS
stations around the country - so hopefully it'll be in your area soon!
