A working class, married couple are coerced and locked in their own home by a soldier in order to be routinely questioned, but as they move through this strange and absurd circumstance, James and Mary are tricked into admitting guilt for living their daily routine, and as a result, it is the soldier’s job, duty, and responsibility to make sure that these blue collar workers are eliminated because of their class in life and as a result of new government laws.

Short-Film “Jordey The Movie” to be Screened at “Action On Film 15th Annual International Film Festival” in Brenden Theaters Inside The Palms
July 27, 2019 by VegasNews.com
Forgotten Artist Productions, a production company based in New York that develops and produces creative and artistic work and projects for film and theatre, will screen its short-film “Jordey The Movie,” written by husband and wife team Michael Thomas Cain and Kristy DiPalma, as part of the Action On Film 15th Annual International Film Festival and Writer’s Competition and the 3rd Annual Hollywood Dreamz International Film Festival and Writer’s Competition.
Both festivals run Wednesday, July 24, 2019 – Saturday, July 3, 2019 at the Brenden Theaters inside the Palms Hotel and Casino, 4321 West Flamingo Road, Las Vegas, Nevada 89103. Individual tickets are $10.00. Screens in Theater 2 during the 6:00 PM Block on Tuesday, July 30, 2019. The film is nominated in two categories, Best Family Short and Best Children’s Film.
“Jordey The Movie” is also directed by Michael Thomas Cain and stars Jordey, a ten pound, ten- year-old rescue dog from New York with a lot of love to give. Jordey is a faithful companion and has quickly become an important member of Michael and Kristy’s family. It only seems natural to develop a story around Jordey’s normal behaviors and everyday events in order to emphasize the importance of rescuing animals and the joy that these pets can still bring to human lives. Cain also plays the Burglar in a scene which pays tribute to Charlie Chaplin, the silent film era, and black and white films.
Jordey (also referred to in life as Little Jordey, Jordey Pocket Pants, Little Buddy, Tiny Dancer, Little Peanut, etc.) is a rescue dog who’s living life and enjoying it! Most of the time. As the protector of the house, Jordey also has to chase off any unwanted burglars, and there’s one pesky burglar who frequently visits. What happens one day when Jordey is forced to square off against his cornball rival?
Forgotten Artist Productions and Michael Thomas Cain have also produced the award-winning films “Eliminated” (written and directed by Michael Thomas Cain) and “Thumb Wrestler” (directed by Michael Thomas Cain).
The London-Worldwide Comedy Short Film Festival writes that the short-film “Thumb Wrestler” is a, “Funny, well-made film.”
nytheatre.com writes this about writer and director Michael Thomas Cain’s work, “Cain’s script is sharp and subtle…Cain also does a fine job directing a talented cast of two…Enough’s Enough is good fringe theater. It is fresh, dark and out of the ordinary. FringeNYC is good for finding bold new voices and performers. This show delivers both.”
Danielle Boss of Drama Queens Reviews says this about Fifteen Minutes with Ellen, produced by Forgotten Artist Productions and directed by Michael Thomas Cain, “This prophetic play is important for all to see with its mesmerizing characters, riveting storyline, and remarkable performances that move you to tears…truly a special and unique play that you really do not want to miss.”

Script/Story Analysis for achieving a comprehensive understanding of a script/story. This class will help you find ways of unearthing all of the gems a text may have. It conditions you to find obvious, direct meaning and hidden, indirect meaning.

This class is ideal for:
Actors who want to create deeper character development and attachment to the story.
Directors who need further guidance in developing a far-reaching appreciation of the material.
Writers who want to create more complex work.
Dramaturges who want to brush up on certain examination and interpretation skills.
Students will develop a better understanding of basic literary elements like plot, character, setting, themes, and symbolism, and use these literary elements to fully sit with text in order to build a complex perspective of the material. A variety of dramatic literature, texts, and stories will be used. This approach provides skills that will be used in preparation for years to come.
