Poster for The Right to Bear Arms

The Right To Bear Arms

• Oliver Tuthill's newest feature length film The Right to Bear Arms starring John Savage (The Deer Hunter, Godfather III, Salvador). It tells the story of illegal gun dealers targeting a United States Prosecuting Attorney for assassination. Tara Walker (The Auteur, Cathedral Park, A Star for Rose) also is featured in the role of Willow, a runaway girl who is befriended by the leader (Denitra Henderson) of a gun gang located in Seattle. New comers Lionel Flynn, Kelley McIntire and Rick Walters also have featured roles. Tuthill (Bogie, Dysphoria, Quincy) plays the role of the attorney.

Flynn plays the son of the prosecuting attorney who is battling homicidal impulses and a serious drug problem. Much of his anger is directed at his father who accidentally killed his sister when she was 12 years of age in a gun accident.

Tuthill, who scored the film, feels this feature will resonate with viewers throughout the country. "While we were in the middle of production the Supreme Court ruled on the individual's right to bear arms and the impact of this ruling will be felt for years to come. This is a controversial movie that will upset a lot of people because of the violence, language and sexual content, but it addresses an important issue that touches the lives of all of us."

Kitty Jones from The Girl Who Loved Animals

The Girl Who Loved Animals

• Award winning filmmaker Oliver Tuthill is now in production on his full length feature documentary on the life and work of animal rights activist Kitty Jones. The working title of the film is The Girl Who Loved Animals. Jones has been profiled in the blogs of The Humane Society, Vegan Score, the ASPCA, and Washingtonians for Humane Farms. She has volunteered over 1000 community service hours and has won the President's Volunteer Service Award. She is the founder and President of her school's Animal Rights Club and has won awards and honors from Rainforest Action Network, Action for Animals and the Humane Society. On the 2011 Washington Farm Animal Cruelty Prevention Initiative 1130, which provides for more cage space for egg laying hens, she collected over 10,000 signatures in favor of the ballot. She believes that the commodification of animals is a root problem in our society today and that all suffering is interconnected. The film will follow Jones while she is at school, volunteering at various organizations and will feature extensive interviews on her beliefs about how our society is designed to exploit animals and the environment. The film is scheduled for completion by the summer of 2012 when Jones graduates from Shorecrest High School in Seattle Washington.

Poster for Constantine the Great

Constantine the Great

• Oliver Tuthill's take on the Roman Emperor who saved the Christians from persecution and unified the Roman Empire. He ruled from A.D. 306 to 337. Based on his play The Nightmares of Constantine The Great which he directed and produced at the Erickson Theater off Broadway in Seattle in 2008, Tuthill plans to film the feature like a Shakespearean play. Tuthill refers to such films as Roman Polanski's version of MacBeth, Franco Zeffirelli's Hamlet, and Joseph L. Mankiewicz's Julius Caesar as models for his own production. Tuthill believes there will be a market for the feature in the Christian marketplace. History buffs and educational institutions would also find the film of interest. Tuthill plans on using three to five name actors in supporting roles. Tara Walker (A Star for Rose, The Right to Bear Arms) has been cast in the role as Constantine's sister. Pierre L. Lorillard has signed on as Line Producer. Production set for winter of 2012.
