Ken Locsmandi comments, “As the primary details of our plot is under wraps, I don’t want to be esoteric, but will say that White space offers commercial appeal. A science fiction thriller/monster movie is a hard thing to say no to. I’m a nerd at heart so being able to explore themes within a genre that is thrilling and visually unique is a trophy for a storyteller and a director.”

He continues, “The majority of my career has been on the post-production and visual effects side. Many people that work with me quickly say, Wow, you’re not just a visual effects guy. It always makes me smile. In Hollywood you get pigeon holed. This film will allow me to really use all my talents as a renaissance filmmaker. I love visual effects but I tend to dislike visual effects films for their lack of character and story. Story and character are always paramount.”

A recent success story similar to the production circumstances of ‘White Space’ (produced by VFX house with up-and-coming cast, low-cash budget and high production value) was last year’s ‘Skyline’, which reportedly sold to Sony Pictures which brought in over $11,000,000.00 on opening weekend domestically and has since garnered in excess of $67,000,000.00 on international theatrical (does not include DVD, VOD, etc.)

“As we’ve noted before,” states Mike the Pike Productions CEO and White Space Producer, Mark B. Newbauer, “The magnitude of services which Filmworks FX is providing, in line with its strategic relationships with New Deal Studios (www.newdealstudios.com) is significant and has already amounted to millions of dollars on board for the feature. To have Kenny as director is an enormous asset for all involved as, alongside a strong creative vision for the project with a solid story to match an impressive array of visual effects, Kenny has devoted his entire staff and studio to countless hours on ‘White Space’ through to the end, which we’re all confident will be just the beginning for Mike the Pike Productions and all involved with ‘White Space’.”
