The first appreciation goes to David E. Stanley, step brother to the King, Elvis Presley. He is currently writing, along with Dr. David Gruder, his soon to be published book, Conversations with the King, Journals of a Young Apprentice.   

We have been friends with David for eight years. We assisted him with the making of the behind the scenes video of his feature film Protecting the King, the story of The World's Youngest Rock n Roll Body guard.

David grew up in Graceland as Elvis's "brother" from four years old, when his mother married Elvis's father Vernon Presley. He lived and traveled with Elvis as his personal bodyguard until David was 21 when in 1975 Elvis died. He protected the King from everyone but...himself.

David is a much sought after motivational speaker, author of several books, black belt and film producer, writer, director. 

David is quick to point out that the book is not another insider book exploiting the life and times of the King, Elvis Presley.

It's a book about the extraordinary lessons that Elvis, the private mystic and healer, taught his stepbrother David E. Stanley during his seventeen years as his young apprentice.  

It is also about the equally important lessons David learned from witnessing Elvis's titanic struggle between his most authentic spiritual self, his private demons and his feeling imprisoned by the public icon he had become.

This is the one Elvis story that has never been written because David E. Stanley is the only one who could tell it. Only through his own transformation did David at last understand the lessons instilled in him by Elvis well enough to share it in ways that will be healing to many, perhaps including you.

One Productions recently produced David's social media videos that he is wisely using to pre-promote the release of the book. We combined personal interviews with clips from his feature film to give the videos emotional impact.

"It's so important that this powerful book makes a good first impression. That's why I chose One Productions, to make our high quality video presentations. Their videos will help create a " tipping point" to accelerate the sales of the book."  

In the short few weeks that the videos have been active on his face book page and website, David is experiencing great results on presales.

David will be making a personal appearance at the anniversary fund-raising screening of my feature film, Captain Milkshake on September 16th in Carlsbad California where he will announce the pre-release of his book.

 Conversations With the King 

I'm deeply appreciative regarding the return of my motion picture Captain Milkshake to the big screen in San Diego this month September 16.  

I created and produced the full-length war protest feature film in 1969, and premiered it in 1971 at a time when we were deeply entrenched the Vietnam War.  

Profoundly felt, Captain Milkshake was the first dramatic full length feature film to deal with the controversial political and cultural issues surrounding the Vietnam War era.

I co-wrote the script, produced, and directed the film in San Diego and Berkeley even though I was advised that nobody makes a movie about a war while it is still raging! As an artist I had to say something on film about the division growing in the people's attitude regarding the rightness of the war.

Thousands of fans came to see "Captain" because of its content of sex, drugs, rock 'n roll and Vietnam. It had an immediate appeal and it played in 150 cities in 1971, primarily in the South and became an extremely popular breakthrough movie hit.  

Then the primary investor decided that he wanted a bigger cut of the pie and used "contrived" litigation to gain a larger share of the motion picture proceeds for himself.  

Greed, fraud and malfeasance brought him down. He lost everything and Captain was lost in a convoluted web..a legal nightmare not to be untangled... I lost control of my film.

It was unavailable for nearly three decades and only recently I regained all of my rights and now I have full control. Captain has become known as a lost treasure returned to the screen...an underground counter-culture classic.

Now the world is experiencing the film through the Internet and film festivals and it can be found on Amazon, at Captain Milkshake.com and soon streaming on You Tube.

Recently, international audiences eagerly received Captain Milkshake when screened as a special guest presentation at the Viennale, Rotterdam, and Leeds International Film Festivals.  

To celebrate "Captain's" return to San Diego and the film's 40th anniversary of its release, supporters, fans and first timers will be attending a special celebration screening on Friday September 16th at the Carlsbad Village Theater located at 2822 State Street Carlsbad, CA 92008.   

Part of the admission price will go to benefitting returning Iraq/Afghanistan war Veterans through the Troops in Transition organization's "Reboot" program that provides "re-entry' consulting and training so Vets can reintegrate and join the work force again.

The celebration will begin at 6:00 PM with live music from members of the psychedelic rock band Strawberry Alarm Clock, best known for their 1967 hit "Incense and Peppermint." The band will premier their new album at this event as well.

I am thrilled to be bringing the film back to the San Diego area where it all began for me as a director and to have the fundraiser support returning Vets. David Stanley will also be attending to announce the release of his new book, "Conversations WithThe King."
