The first big screen screening of Paula Peril: Midnight is the Darkest Hour is planned for sometime in the next two weeks!
The big screen debut will take place at either the AMC or Harkins Theatres in North Phoenix...this is a 'technical' screening of Scene 1, (running time, 20 minutes!) and will include the new CGI additions to the scene, the CGI and practical explosions, firepower and of course lovely Paula (Valerie Perez) herself!
our new CGI director, Tim Kitchen, has added a whole new level to the film that was completely unexpected...",says director Andy Rodriguez,"I thought my directing was good and the script solid...and the music and sound effects really took the film to a whole new level...but Kitchen's work has finally given me the freedom to do a film where it would stack up well against anything out there."
"The addition of Kitchen's CGI now makes the spooky warehouse scene look 4-5x larger and spookier than it was when we shot it," says writer-director Andy Rodriguez, "It looked pretty impressive when we first edited it...but now with all the layering and the CGI Paula and so on, I would dare say we might have had one hell of a film to show..."
The screening is open to Phoenix-area cast and crew only...
also...
Black Talon 2: When Strangers Come to Town will also feature all the new CGI effects by Kitchen. Black Talon will be far more than what NPF fans have seen before," says Rodriguez,"This one is being re-worked to include more CGI...we hope our fans love the new costume, story and quality of the work..."
and...
RetroGirl Episodes 1, 2 and 3 are being discontinued.
The reason? "We have technically advanced far, far ahead of where we were in 2000,"says Rodriguez," as a result, the early RetroGirl episodes still have a certain charm, but are slowly becoming dated. My biggest hope would be to re-shoot them sometime in the next couple years with new RetroGirl Addison Keane and update them with our new HD and other capacities."
The last day to download the original episodes will be Monday June 23rd.
News Update May 20, 2008 The ActionGirl 2.5 Equinox DVD is ready for order! This DVD will not have the same extended features as the regular DVDs you've come to expect from New Phoenix Filmworks...this one is the production as a stand-alone.
This was created after quite a few requests for the format came in as we released the download...Check it out at the Order Page!
Speaking of interaction...we had asked for a little feedback on "Equinox"...and did we get it!
We received several, almost scholarly reviews of ActionGirl 2.5...all positive, and all universally calling this production our best yet, technically!---the new trailer is at the first image of Jamie below (best viewed at 320 x 240) ...and following is a review from Noel V of Boston, Massachusetts, USA:
My two cents...Overall, Action Girl 2.5 is more of a "transition" episode, providing logical framework for (hopefully) upcoming episodes. As such, it's a little difficult to "review" in a conventional sense...while certain plotlines were resolved,others are just beginning. I think that perhaps someone with absolutely no background in the NPF "universe" might be a bit confused by all the switching of time/space continuities...of course, as we've noted, there's always a part of the NPF audience who just want to see hot girls in spandex getting in and out of peril, and on this score "Equinox" certainly delivers. Jamie, Kacie and new acquisition Addison Keane look great (damn, is there something in the drinking water in your part of AZ? Your track record of finding gorgeous young actresses well outside of the big media centers like New York or LA is a remarkable achievement!) and bring lots of youthful enthusiasm to their characters. I think Jamie Thornton should be particularly commended for having the guts to play the whole episode in nothing but a black bikini & boots ..while at the same time delivering her most self-assured performance in an NPF production to date!
I was a little disappointed that Amber Collins didn't have a bigger role (no dialog, largely only there to get 'whacked)...but otherwise, looks like the 2nd generation of NPF 'babes' is coming right along...
STRENGTHS: Special Effects/Camerawork- probably the most technically strong of all NPF productions I've seen...the mini segment where Retrogirl gets blasted into a new place in time worked really well...I loved the idea of using a giant cacti as a measuring device to highlight the height of her fall. What a cool way to introduce one of your new marquee characters! The use of lighting to give the warehouse an ethereal spookiness was fantastic, and the Kacie Karlsson/Jamie Thornton extended catfight was cool. Costumes- Like the new Retrogirl outfit...seems more appropriate for the scorching Arizona heat than the tight unitard of previous productions. Liked Jamie Thornton's 'evil' hairstyle (has kind of a Faye Dunaway 70's look) , although it might have been better if you had gone back to her long straight style when she comes to as Actongirl again. But Addison Keane plus that costume is a real winner...looking forward to her solo episode! Pacing - Given the brief running time, you had a LOT to cram into this one, Andy...as well as the challenge of doing it in a manner that wouldn't put the audience to sleep! Very well done...use of screen captions was appropriate and not overdone...the time/space changes were solid, again, as the result of the solid F/X, and Black Talon's final battle was fast, furious and sexy without being gratuitous, a tough combination to pull off.
WEAKNESSES: Continuity - Okay, I know there are serious time and budget constraints here but some of the continuity was hard to logically explain. For example...if Kacie's character tries an exit door, and it's locked, meaning she can't escape Jamie/Equinox, then how do we accept Jamie opening a door and walking off into the night five minutes later? How does Jamie find a knife that just so happens to be on top of a box among the chairs and appliances? Shouldn't Jamie have been a little more banged up and disoriented after such an intense fight/alter-ego switch? And why is Retrogirl carrying around a spare Black Talon costume (she doesn't seem to have much room to conceal anything in that costume!) ?Again, this is fantasy and it's supposed to be fun, and there's certainly nothing as mind-boggling as why the Aliens were piloting their ship using Windows 98 in Independence Day ...nonetheless,(I may be the only person to notice this stuff, ) it was a bit distracting...
Music - PLEASE drop that '138 in progress' police scanner voice-over from future soundtracks... The New Phoenix 'theme music' has always been solid (am I right in assuming that, apart from everything else, you also compose the music? You are a man who can wear many hats!) with the synth tones giving a real sense of mystery and majesty to the proceedings that I always find lacking in the majority of your competition.
I've gone on for MUCH too long here Andy, but overall I really enjoyed the whole production. You've actually managed to gather together a stable of characters that are original and imaginative, instead of taking the easier path of ripping off characters from Marvel and DC...Seems like you're already well into the planning stages of the new Retrogirl production...I would love it if you brought the Sentinels back into the Retrogirl continuity...since she's the strongest New Phoenix superbabe...she needs to have an opponent who can give her a real battle...
I think NOW would be a good time to tie all the various plot threads together for this one. My advise would be TAKE YOUR TIME, and really think the plot through...I think this is the way to make the audience for NPF productions expand!"--Noel V, Boston
News Update May 14, 2008

News Update April 26, 2008
For a PSM, ActionGirl 2.5 Equinox is a very complex story!
This is the first time we intertwined the stories of ActionGirl, The Girl in the Black Mask, RetroGirl, and Black Talon, and the story itself takes place in two time periods: the present day, and 15 years from now, after the Devastation reported in Black Talon: Broken Mirror.
in addition to the complex story, the production is enhanced by the great work by Tim Kitchen who made all the teleportation and other enhanced effects work for RetroGirl.
Not to be outdone, the babes of the production, Jamie Thornton, Kacie Karlsson, Amber Collins and our newest member, Addison Keane will be sure to be crowd pleasers!
The production is done, and will be released the week of April 27th. New Images will be online early in the week!
News Update April 16, 2008 Taylor Payton is out, and Kacie Karlsson is in as Black Talon!
This change is due to a personal matter regarding Taylor, and we have decided to make this change in the best interests of our friend, and the production.
As you know, Kacie plays our Girl in the Black Mask, and will now own the talons...The story will play out over our next two productions, ActionGirl 2.5: Equinox, and Black Talon 2: When Strangers Come to Town.
Check out Kacie as Black Talon in the new promo

This is not story driven, like the upcoming Equinox and Black Talon 2 stories...but we guarantee you will enjoy this anyway!! See more at the Order Page!
News Update April 10, 2008
A Midnight is the Darkest Hour DVD may happen after all!
After heavy financial losses from the Paula Peril project, the decision is made to release a DVD on the "Almost Making of Midnight is the Darkest Hour".
This new DVD will include the 14 completed scenes from the film with and without director commentary… interviews with primary cast (featuring Valerie Perez above) and crewmembers…the cool explosion and underwater scenes that were shot…artwork, storyboards, outtakes and more.
It is hoped that fans will pick up the DVD to help offset the $60,000 NPF bore alone in the making of the film plus a loan to former partner Atlantis Studios (Atlantis contributed $200 to the film) The DVD should run 1 hour and will be available in late summer.
Other news...Director Andy Rodriguez will be featured in two U.S. national magazines this summer...
Indie Slate Magazine has invited Rodriguez to write on his experience on the Paula Peril film, which will be detailed step by step...also...(don't laugh) Geek Monthly is interviewing Rodriguez and others in a story on superbabe filmmakers...hopefully both articles hit bookstores and newsstands this summer.
News Update April 7, 2008 Today is the 15th anniversary of the founding of New Phoenix Filmworks! "NPF was founded as we completed the "Dark Angel" demo video, forerunner of our Darkfury film...At that time, our group was called "Mirage Videopictures", but founder Andy Rodriguez wanted a more original name...at that time, it seemed every production company ended with the word "Entertainment"--so, trying to be different, Andy coined the term "Filmworks", a word not in existance anywhere at that time...now it seems, it's everywhere!

Addison Keane is our newest superbabe, and she takes the lead as RetroGirl...new in 2008!

we are also adding some very cool CGI to our productions...our new RetroGirl will be able to do some very cool stuff and will really looked 'souped up'...so keep watching...she may turn up sooner than you think!

A second Black Talon production underway??? Yes!
A short, "flash forward" second production of Black Talon 2: When Strangers Come to Town" is in the works.
The flash-forward will be the aftermath of events that happen in the main production...and will be released before the main production...The production doesn't have an official name yet, but will will give Black Talon fans a glimpse of what she is becoming as a new super crime-fighter......and...will run roughly 5 min and will be available for download for only $3.99 USD!
The reduced price is an experiment underway...with the Black Talon flash forward and fan favorite BikiniWoman and her youthful sidekick Teeny! now available at only 1.99 USD per download...
but will NPF fans support them? Over 75,000 fans checked the BikiniWoman and Teeny video out at You Tube when we had it there, and 78 votes rated the full video at 4.5 stars out of 5...so we hope that support will continue...
We hope to find out soon!

NPF fans...feast your eyes on the new Black Talon suit, modeled by the lovely Taylor Payton... and check out the synopsis of the new Black Talon adventure on the Black Talon page! More info and images coming soon!
The Fans have spoken...there will not be any streaming video in a potential new, pay NPF site!
Fans overwhelming gave that the thumbs down...
There is still discussion if a paysite is in the future for NPF, and if so, members would be able to get hardcopy DVDs and downloads of new productions, and non-members would be able to stream the new productions at a greatly reduced price...this would also mean weekly 35mm still images updates and very short video updates for potential members...but remember, this is all still in discussion.
There is no decision whether a paysite conversion is coming.
Also...as of March 1, New Phoenix Filmworks will discontinue the Supermodels 1 and Black Talon PSM downloads...to make way for the new stuff coming soon!

News Update February 6, 2008 New Phoenix Filmworks
Suspends Production on Paula Peril Movie
Phoenix, Arizona – New Phoenix Filmworks announced today the suspension of all production of Paula Peril: Midnight is the Darkest Hour, the original feature-length film based on the popular Atlantis Studios comic book character Paula Peril.
The production studio cited cost overruns as the reason behind the decision, and confirmed that the film would not be completed for its April 2008 target release date.
“We are extremely grateful for everyone who put their blood, sweat, and tears into making this film happen,” said Andy Rodriguez, owner of New Phoenix Filmworks and the film’s director. “This was an extremely ambitious project to adapt a comic book faithfully on the budget of a small independent film, and we just had to face the truth that we would not be able to complete it to the level of quality we had hoped.”
The low budget feature fell $40-45,000 short of completion, as no investor could be found to complete the film. Distribution through major U.S. distributors projected minimum returns of at least a quarter million dollars in international and domestic sales.
"I am disappointed for a number of reasons, and I could go on, but I would
rather focus on the next steps for New Phoenix Filmworks, including the new
productions already in progress."
All film rights for future film productions of Paula Peril will revert back to series creator Atlantis Studios effective April 1. “There has been a high level of interest in this production from the beginning, and we will continue with our plans to develop Paula as a film heroine,” said James Watson, Atlantis Studios President, “We will be evaluating options for future films, and hope to have some exciting announcements very soon”.
In the meantime, New Phoenix Filmworks has announced that it will release selected scenes from “Midnight is the Darkest Hour” for fans to view at no charge. These will be posted at www.newphx.com and exclusively on Paula Peril’s MySpace page (www.myspace.com/paulaperil). The first scene, a mini-movie in it's own right,with a estimated running time of 15 minutes, will be available for download in a few months.
News Update February 4, 2008
While we're busy with the Paula Peril project, we also have
a new production that will be out in May---
Black Talon is back!
"The new script is written, and this will be a 30 min production,"says writer/director Andy Rodriguez,"Black Talon's story moves forward 15 years, and she's harder, and meaner than she was. Because she is the last known superhero out there, she is very alone in fighting the chaos that remains...
Black Talon is forced to trust others...one of which has a new and good surprise for her. Black Talon gets souped up in a way that I hope NPF fans will be surprised by. Black Talon 2 is a solid story with what I think is a great plot, similar in tone to the last Black Talon and the recent ActionGirl episode."
The casting is open...who of the NPF women would you like to see as Black Talon? Send us your thoughts via email!
News Update November 4, 2007
After a slow start with downloads...ActionGirl 2, (part one) is unleashed on the world...and so far, the feedback is...a little short, well done, fans love the sexy fight scene and VERY sexy capture seen...and great cliffhanger ending!
"Only a few comments on the production values...I'm grateful for that,"says
director Andy Rodriguez,"but given the change in mid-stream, I'll take it. This way we can get product out faster, now that we're moving away from production-intensive values."
"Though this will kick out production faster, The only production I won't compromise on is most likely going to be our finale production, the long awaited RetroGirl Six episode late next year."
The second half of the ActionGirl 2 episode is being edited now and no release date is given.
There had been some issues with downloading instructions, but that is been
resolved.
News Update November 3, 2007 11 pm M.S.T. in Phoenix Literally just back from Los Angeles. Have heard about the download problem
and have put up the new link. It should work fine.
Those who have already paid for the download, you will be recieving a link directly from our download host, the Ridgeon Network, in England. That should be happening shortly.
News Update November 2, 2007
ActionGirl is ready, and will be online as scheduled on Saturday.
News Update November 2, 2007 The ActionGirl 2 download is ready...it runs 10 minutes. "I am dropping the price once again, to $14.95...a full $10 off the original amount intended..",says Andy,"As we have tried to keep fans happy, this is the compromise I've come up with...ActionGirl 2 will most likely end up being a 3 parter."
News Update November 2, 2007
"Not bad...ActionGirl 2: The Girl in the Black Mask for download isn't bad at all..." says director Andy Rodriguez,"it's a little shorter than I would like to release, but there is the best tension, and probably the sexiest eye candy we've EVER had in a production."
NPF fans finally get to judge for themselves with the release of the production Saturday.
News Update November 1, 2007 ActionGirl 2 will be ready on Saturday at noon, Phoenix time. Remember, the
DVD will be available on Nov 15th.
"The DVD will have the additional features and bonus scenes...I hope NPF fans like it...this DVD will be a crowd pleaser, guaranteed." says director Andy Rodriguez.
other news...the new Black Talon long form production has a story and title... Black Talon 2: When Strangers Come to Town
"The new Black Talon will be a 30 minute production, and will take place 5 years after the last episode,"says Andy,"Black Talon is still helping in her way to bring order out of chaos, but she learns that her help as the last superheroine standing is not enough. A new suped-up Obscura Prime may return in this one, as will one other superheroine who can help Talon in her efforts." Does she hang up the claws? Not saying here, but don't bet against it...
News Update October 30, 2007
The ActionGirl 2 download will be ready by the weekend. "I have decided to release it sooner rather than later, and as a result, the DVD will have bonus scenes to go with all the other bonus features we're planning, currently at least six." says producer Andy Rodriguez. "No doubt about it, it will be released Saturday morning, come hell or high water, regardless." NPF fans do get a break too: The original download price of 24.95 will drop to $19.95!
other news...New Phoenix Filmworks will undergo changes in January, the main one of which will be a new website and it may become a pay site. "Although I have resisted this for 7 years now, This probably is time for the change. We will only have people in the site who understand what we do and really support what we do...
With our other production out of the way by then, we will step up production this way--productions will become shorter, less technically advanced, and less complex to keep up with demand."
News Update October 24, 2007 ActionGirl 2 is coming along, after a couple setbacks, and it looks great! "Fans have been waiting for this one for a while, and it'll be worth it folks!" says director Andy Rodriguez, "the personal setback I had was that my home was burglarized and I lost nearly a week getting things back in order...and the Paula Peril shoot was scheduled for this week, the week of October 21st, but the full scale brush fire disaster in Southern California forced us to cancel that shoot for the time being...what a month it's been!"
This is just a quick note to update everyone...the download will be readied first...the DVD will be about a week after that. "Working as fast as we can..."says Andy.
other news...the new Paula Peril website launched last week to rave reviews...and suddenly, sales of Black Talon and Darkfury showed a significant spike."We did nothing with these two titles...I suspect someone has placed something from the films on You Tube or similar location...or...perhaps fans have discovered these two gems from New Phoenix Filmworks." says Andy.
News Update October 13, 2007 ActionGirl 2 post production is back on track....
Other News: our Paula Peril project has been picked up by a Hollywood producer rep, who will sell the film in as many as 60 world territories...! "This is great news for us on that project...it shows Hollywood
is definately interested in what we do at New Phoenix Filmworks!" That site is www.paulaperilmovie.net
News Update October 11, 2007
"Some unfortunate news to share with everyone...I had a personal setback last
week, and lost 5 days as a result."
"I won't bore you with the details, but just suffice to say that we have been delayed on ActionGirl 2. We are going as fast as we can to make up for lost time and to get you the download as soon as possible."
"for those of you in the know, thank you for the support...it's appreciated!"

Something a little different...a bit of fan mail I wanted to share with NPF fans everywhere...this is from Mark in the United Kingdom....
Received Darkfury this week ...Fantastic DVD.
I was so impressed, as I was with Black Talon.
A great story with very good performances....
I really admire your style and what really appeals to me is that each production is not spoiled by stripping or exposing the main character.
Thank You so much ...will order Powercat 3 upon its release.
br>
Dark Fury DVD:
I have now viewed this DVD twice and have to say it is another superb entry from Andy Rodriguez (and New Phoenix Filmworks)
Far more watchable than some big budget titles such a Electra, Aeon Flux, and Underworld that just bored me with its CGI overkill - easily done if you have the budget.
Dark Fury is a high quality, well acted, and cleverly directed film that deserves far greater worldwide acclaim and recognition.
The main character is played by Lisa More. She is sexy, stunning and looks wonderful in her skin-tight lycra leotard that accentuates her ample assets and long legs.
Unlike other superheroines, Dark Fury thwarts her opponents with gymnastic athleticism and attitude, not super powers. Not that she has everything her own way ! - She is knocked out, tied up and given a torrid time by her antagonists.
The combat is plentiful and perilous situations occur throughout.
Highly Recommended at a very reasonable price...I for one will be ordering EVERY DVD from the back catalogue in the very near future.
Mark

Just thought I would share...

PowerCat 3 is going to be ready for download soon, but we are going to give original NPF Members the option of getting it on DVD.
"PowerCat 3: Imposter is running roughly 20 minutes...short for a DVD, but if original NPF members are interested, we can make that happen for them,"says executive producer Andy Rodriguez,"This is part of the deal we had with original NPF members and what they are to receive...but the deal is still good, where most still have two productions coming to them...they will have to let us know if they choose to exercise this one."
"Also...Now that we are phasing Paula Peril off this web address, we will soon be back up to speed to our original style of production."
News Update August 7, 2007 Paula Peril is moving to her own website soon!"Because the scope of the Paula Peril project is so large, I'm beginning to feel that to do this right, the "Darkest Hour" project needs it's own website,"says executive producer Andy Rodriguez,"The new Paula Peril address is
www.paulaperilmovie.net
The new site goes active in a couple days and will be under construction for the next few weeks...

Good news...Val Tasso, an LA based actor/producer/director has been signed by New Phoenix Filmworks to be line-producer on Paula Peril as we shift our focus to shooting in Los Angeles.
"Val is an experienced producer, has an impressive demo reel, and the fact he's also playing Carleoni (the film's heavy) makes for a good fit," says executive producer and director Andy Rodriguez,"Val will be in charge of locations and other line producer responsibilities. He'll do a great job for us. It will take the producing pressure off me and allow me to direct without too many distractions."
News Update August 5, 2007 New PowerCat 3:Imposter images are coming to the PowerCat page! The production is just about finished and a release date will be announced by Aug 15th.
News Update July 31, 2007
Now that's how a New Phoenix Filmworks shoot normally goes!
...A great shoot last night in Prescott, Arizona with Valerie Perez and Dave Vescio as we shot the scenes of Paula meeting with her shadowy informant Delphi...the first new scenes from Midnight is the Darkest Hour
"We were shooting in the alleyway behind Whiskey Row in Prescott, Arizona to get the right ambiance for the scene," says director Andy Rodriguez," The red brick buildings date from 1900, and made for really creepy shadows...Dave as Delphi looked great and mysterious in the foggy shadows and Valerie as Paula filling out a skin-tight top and very short miniskirt was a rare treat for the hundreds of locals who stopped by to watch the shoot!"
The shoot of these scenes was a unmatched success, compared to earlier efforts. "We have the right team in place now, and everything went like clockwork...Valerie and Dave are real Hollywood pros and I was very, very pleased with their approach and professionalism...our crew is back to the right size and loaded with experienced, talented people who know how to put together great filming....I hope we can match or exceed the visuals we captured last night in the rest of the shoot, but it's going to be tough!" says Andy.
The coolest, sexiest, mysterious images from the shoot will be added to the site on Wednesday morning!
News Update July 24, 2007
The two Paula Peril scenes we're shooting with Delphi will be up on our site next week...plus a sneak preview of one of the scenes, starring Valerie Perez and Dave Vescio!
"It feels wonderful to put the boots back on!" says Valerie,"Playing the noir genre, comic book heroine Paula Peril is great fun. I enjoy physically demanding roles like this and I am deeply invested in her from contributing to the character development, since before the “Trapped In Flames” film short, as a consultant and model for the creator, James Watson."
Valerie will have a major presence at the San Diego Comic Con this week before flying to Phoenix to begin Paula Peril.
"I will be autographing my September issue of Femme Fatales Magazine at their booth in the main hall Friday afternoon and Thursday through Sunday from 10:30 to Noon I will be co-presenting the Comic-Con Film School upstairs in room 26AB"

"The choice was easy," says director Andy Rodriguez,"Valerie has already played Paula in the first Paula short...has a great look, and has excellent experience playing a comic book heroine...she has first-hand knowledge what it takes to be an action heroine."
"We're going to shoot two scenes with Valerie and her co-star Dave Vescio as Delphi, and then we go into hiatus on the project...Valerie is booked on a film or two, and then we resume plans to finish Midnight is the Darkest Hour in November." says Andy.

News Update July 9, 2007
We are going in a different direction on the Paula Peril film. There
is a change with the lead character and the Paula Peril role is now re-opened.
"I have released Leanne Saint John from the production, due to differences in
technical, some creative and professional vision of the production,"says executive
producer Andy Rodriguez,"This has been a tough shoot, and made tougher by this
decision. It's too bad things didn't work out with this casting. Leanne is a
very talented, passionate, beautiful talent who we know will do well in her
future endeavors."
"In 23 years of professional film and video production, I have to admit, this
film has nearly the greatest challenges I've ever faced. Only Darkfury, my
first film in 1994 was tougher."
So, what's next? "New casting is underway and already, 7 talent say they're
ready to audition for the Paula role. That will happen this week. Also, I am
going to devote more time to our New Phoenix Filmworks business that has frankly
suffered in the last 2 months, starting today.That means PowerCat 3 is our top
priority for completion, now."

News Update April 25, 2007
Hello Los Angeles-area actors looking for auditioning for Paula Peril: Midnight
is the Darkest Hour movie...Here's the basic information:
Casting for Secondary roles will be held at Studio Stage 520, southeast
of Paramount Pictures on Thursday May 3rd. Studio Stage is located at 520 North
Western Avenue in LA, just south of Melrose Avenue. Parking is limited.
Auditions begin at 9am and conclude at 4:30pm, so bring a headshot and resume. Sides
will be posted online and we'll have that information for you shortly.
Casting for Primary roles will be held at Paramount Pictures Studio
30, and we are working to get sides online asap. Casting begins promptly
at 9am and will conclude at 2pm. Parking is at the Gower lot. Parking in both
places are limited...all auditions will be on camera.
"I'm very much looking forward to directing this vision of Paula Peril," says director
Andy Rodriguez,"this is a step in a new direction for us, and I fully expect
'Paula Peril' to be an international hit. Whoever gets the lead for Paula Peril
will definately get plenty of buzz and support from us, Atlantis Studios and
beyond."
"I'm encouraged 'Paula Peril' has acquired bank financing...that's
a first for us, and I believe it's the first time an Arizona independent has
ever recieved bank financing," says Rodriguez," another reason to believe with
so many people behind this one, 'Midnight is the Darkest Hour' could be a hit."
Paula Peril Synopsis: Paula Peril: Midnight is the Darkest Hourretells the origin story
of Paula Perillo, an intrepid reporter for Big City’s Daily Gazette with a nose
for stirring up trouble, and attracting plenty of it. She’s on the trail of organized
crime lord Anthony Carleoni, a very tough guy who made it out of the old neighborhood
the old fashioned way: through crime and intimidation. He has a knack for breaking
skulls and organizing people around him with gusto in equal ability. Paula finds
that Carleoni is taking control of the Pier District, but learns that taking
on organized crime can be, well, perilous. We also find Carleoni’s plans lead
to something a little unexpected from a crime lord.
Paula Peril is a general audience production intended for nationwide
and international release with no nudity or adult situations...Paula Peril is
sort of a "Nancy Drew meets Indiana Jones" style of heroine for your reference...this
production would most likely be rated PG-13 if submitted for classification review.

News Update March 3, 2007
As we gear up for the new RetroGirl 6 Identity Crisis production this
year, a reminder that yes, RetroGirl 5 Uninvited is online for download
now. We have had several inquiries, and yes, RetroGirl 5 is available on DVD
within Supermodels 2. RetroGirl 5 stars Theresa Baldwin, who most agree has the
most 'comic book superheroine' figure of all of our superbabes!
It's hard to believe, but we're coming up fast on the 10th anniversary of the
creation of our RetroGirl series, dating back to 1999, with our first version
of the series you now know!
RetroGirl Six will pick up from her adventure starting with her kidnapping
by the Temporal Sentinels, ending in a grave in the Arizona Territory in 1887
...and will pick up in 2247 with RetroWoman's story as she trains for a special
mission involving Retrogirl.
But in the meantime, check out RetroGirl 5 for the refresher course...available
at the Order Page!
News Update March 1, 2007

News Update February 28, 2007
We're adding a new director to the New Phoenix Filmworks team! Amber Collins,
who played "Jane Coleman in PowerCat 2: Fully Charged, and "Lynx" in Black
Talon: Broken Mirror is going to take point on a new PSM "PowerCat:
Imposter" due out sometime in May.
Amber has worked behind the scenes at NPF, as well as act for a couple years
and this is her shot to see if she can be an NPF director.
"As we begin to increase production and expand, we're going to need help at
director,"says executive producer Andy Rodriguez, and Amber gets first
shot."
Jacque Rivas will return as PowerCat in "Imposter"...and yes, Andy is
still directing the long form productions due out this year, Black Talon 2
and RetroGirl Episode 6.
News Update--February 23, 2007
Reactivated "BikiniWoman and her youthful sidekick Teeny!" to the Order
page...check it out there, or see the trailer at You Tube...
This is one of my favorite scripts...admittedly, this was deliberately silly...our
full-fledged take on a Batman parody...I think we came pretty close! Gina
Theroux (BikiniWoman) is one of the 3 or 4 best actresses I have ever worked
with! (Out of roughly 60-70!) Looked great in an itty-bitty bikini, too!
The BikiniWoman PSM download runs 9 min 30 sec...and is available for only
$4.95!

The system works, after multiple tests, and we're just waiting on the final
green light to open the productions to you...standby...
News Update--February 21, 2007,
Apparently the problem was, a paypal setting that didn't allow NPF to receive
payment from 'unknown sources' was active, not allowing the license to activate
the download to the buyers' computer. The problem is apparently fixed.
All links are active, except RetroGirl Episodes 1,2 and 3.
News Update--February 21, 2007, System is being checked out and all is apparently well, so after a final
test with our webmaster, we will be reactivating all downloads soon!

there shouldn't be any more issues...and we can get back to the business of moviemaking! All
those who have downloaded and having problems, go back to the license acquisition
window, enter your email at the paypal slot, click "Continue" and all should
operate fine!
I will have the official green light to download here on the News page soon!

Update on the new downloading system...
There seem to be various challenges with the downloading with our new system,
but in general the key problem is, paypal lists purchases as 'pending' and it
takes some time before it gets to us at New Phoenix Filmworks.
Most fans are able to download just fine with no issues, but there is a population
where this is not so...I've discussed this with Streamhoster and the following
is their response:
The licensing / DRM is working, so we must assume this is local
system issues blocking the process of the license setting on their
machines. They must review the trouble shooting guide to resolve their
issues.
so...we will include the troubleshooting guide on the website by later Monday
afternoon, Feb 19th...and we are working to streamline this process to avoid
any extra steps.
Read the Troubleshooting guide
HERE and click
your back button to return.
News--February 15, 2007 Ok, we're good to go.
The downloads are now ACTIVE, but there are some changes...especially for you
MAC users. The new host, Streamhoster, cannot interface with MAC, but our
productions are available to you via snail mail, and later through Paypal.. So
let me repeat, if you are a MAC user, the downloads will not work with your computer.
So how does the new download system work?
When you order a production, you click on the gold text and a pop up for
.wmv comes up. The production will begin downloading, and a license will come
up in the screen. You will then be directed to pay via Paypal and you will be
prompted from there. You will have the license sent to you to exist on your PC,
and with that, you will be able to play and save the download to your PC. Good
luck and now we can get back to the business of filmmaking!!
Also, we have deactivated the Paypal buttons to order a hardcopy DVD. These
will be reactivated in time, and until then, you can still order via snail mail.
News--February 14, 2007, 1pm local time
Still working on our downloading issues...so please at this time, Do Not
do any orders...we want to make sure all is well with the system and our
new hosting structure before we give you the green light!
Also...we are also deactivating the DVD paypal order buttons for now...so
if you are looking to do an order for a DVD, go to the snail mail gold order
button at the top of the Order Page...the DVD order
buttons will resume at a later time.
News--February 14, 2007 Progress report on the Order Page...we believe we've fixed the problem!
Some fans reported they couldn't open their downloads. We are in the process
of allowing you to right click on the download once you've paid for it by
purchasing the license that pops up, open the download, and select "Save As" to
your computer. The next time you open it, you should be able to open it and
save to your computer.
Also--Very Important--as you're on the Order Page, note there's THREE columns,
the Downloads are in the first column and the DVD Orders and their
prices are in the second and third, shaded columns. If you want the download,
click on the gold text below it, if you want the hardcopy DVD, click on
the BUY NOW button.
Remember, our webmaster is fixing the encoding and we should be up and
running by 10am local time.
News--February 13, 2007
The Order Page is currently undergoing an overhaul, so NO productions are available
for download today, February 13th...still getting the bugs out of the system
with our new host...we hope to get things moving by tomorrow, Wednesday...
News--February 10, 2007
You can actually begin downloading some New Phoenix Filmworks productions now, by
going to the Order Page...
Now available for download include-- Black Talon Taken Alive PSM...PowerCat
1 Short Circuited PSM...RetroGirl Episodes One, Two and Three...RetroGirl
Episode Four: Nightmare...Supermodels 1...and Supermodels 3...the
rest will be loaded later this coming week by Valentines' Day.
We have deactivated the Paypal links for orders of the DVDs, but you can still
order them on the Order page by clicking on the snail mail document on the
first line...
also...if you haven't had a chance to check out the sexy (but non adult) live
action comic books on DVD we do, there are some new samples at You Tube...check
it out and come on back for the real deal!
News--February 7, 2007
New Phoenix Filmworks has settled on a new host for downloading, and
hope to have the service ready in about a week...we'll let you know when downloading
will be available...
also...check out the new Darkfury trailer we've put up at You Tube...notice
the new DVD authoring? Very cool stuff and we hope the Darkfury 2007 video will
be the final version of this production before we get to the sequel...director's
commentary and more will be featured...
and why the four images of New Phoenix Filmworks productions Black Talon,
RetroGirl Episode Four, PowerCat 2 Fully Charged and Supermodels 3? These
are the four most popular productions bought or downloaded in 2006 and the trend
is continuing now into 2007...We suspect the new RetroGirl Episode Six and the
Black Talon 2 will be just as popular!
News--January 24, 2007
The new Darkfury 2007 DVD will be out next month...Darkfury is our first production now fully authored and with a Director's commentary...if you haven't picked up this production, do it! Running time is 90 minutes and see where it all began for New Phoenix Filmworks...
This production has also been the starting point for two Darkfury veterans who have gone on to stardom...Tarah Paige played young Alexis and is today is the star of "Stick It" and "Bring It On 3"and will have a role in the Dukes of Hazzard sequel...We hope to bring Tarah back to star in the Darkfury sequel planned for next year...check out the latest with upcoming Hollywood star Tarah HERE.
Ashley Molina played Alexis' double in the warehouse cat & mouse scene and was the gymnast double for Lisa More, was the $1 million dollar winner of the NBC Fear Factor Couples Competition in 2005, 10 years later. Check out Ashley all grown up HERE
Quick Update January 22, 2007
Hello again everyone...we had been busy, with preparing taxes and the next productions, but we're back. And boy, do we have news...
First off, our distributor Bitpass is now ceasing operations. Bitpass is the means by which we have our product available for download and this came as a sudden, without warning surprise to us.
We are in the process of identifying new relationships to hopefully continue this service to you uninterrupted. Remember, you can still order NPF productions via Paypal or via snail mail at the Order Page.Remember, the PowerCat 2 DVD has much more features than the download, and runs 1 hour 22 minutes, instead of the download's 40 minutes.
Our other major news is that we will not offer the NPF "membership" this year.This was an experiment we tried that, in my opinion didn't go as well as originally thought. This was a means to offer our product at a reduced rate only, not a 'traditional' membership, but many fans didn't see the difference in what we were trying to accomplish. Though the Members area did have some extra goodies not for general consumption, we didn't do such a good job with keeping up with it, truth be told.
We still intend to honor the original terms of the membership, with the two new productions coming this year--the long-awaited RetroGirl Episode Six Identity Crisis and Black Talon 2. The good news is, we at NPF expect both productions, especially RetroGirl Six will be another leap forward as much as PowerCat 2 is over anything we've done.
Finally, we are also going to be branching out this year, doing something we've not tried yet at New Phoenix Filmworks. We are going to try other genres for serious attempts at theatrical distribution and direct-to-home video distribution with a (don't laugh)romantic comedy I've written, a surrealistic drama a good friend has written and a horror-comedy I'm in the process of writing (now laugh). These productions will be done in tandem with the filmworks you come to know and love from us.
It's definately going to be a busy year at New Phoenix Filmworks! We'll keep you posted on the production timetable for our next production, RetroGirl Episode Six: Identity Crisis.
Quick Update January 3, 2007
Happy New Year everyone!
I hope everyone had a great Holiday season, and enjoyed the heck out of PowerCat 2! It seems everyone did! We're going to start posting rave fan reviews this week!
PowerCat 2: Fully Charged has now surpassed Black Talon Broken Mirror and RetroGirl Episode 4 Nightmare as our most popular production!
PowerCat attacks her deadly torturer!!
PowerCat sends a deadly EM pulsewave at her attackers!
Some fans have asked if the download PowerCat 2 Fully Charged has the same features as the DVD. It doesn't. You get the full experience with the DVD, at $29.95, $5 off the online and download price! Go to the Order Page and download the Order Form to order your DVD!
PowerCat 2: Fully Charged includes the Director's and Cast/Crew Commentary, the Extended Outtakes and the soon-to-be-notorious Gratuitious But Sexy PowerCat Dance!" The best news for all New Phoenix Filmworks fans is, the production running time is just under 40 minutes...but with all the added features, the complete running time for the entire DVD is 1 hour, 22 minutes! Wow!
Quick Update December 23, 2006
PowerCat 2 shipments have been completed and many of you should receive it today...the download will have to wait until after Christmas, and hopefully our distributor will have PowerCat 2 up by Dec 26th. Our distributor is closed for the holiday and will resume business after Christmas.
Quick Update December 22, 2006
PowerCat 2 Fully Charged is done and on the way...and we would dare say...
this is far and away our best, most advanced production! "And we even got the corrections in...I'm very proud of PowerCat 2," says director Andy Rodriguez.
PowerCat 2 Fully Charged includes the Director's and Cast/Crew Commentary, the Extended Outtakes and the soon-to-be-notorious Gratuitious But Sexy PowerCat Dance!" The best news for all New Phoenix Filmworks fans is, the production running time is just under 40 minutes...but with all the added features, the complete running time for the entire DVD is 1 hour, 22 minutes! Wow!
Quick Update December 20, 2006
PowerCat 2 will be done at 5pm Arizona time today!
"2,300 edits later, we're down to our last 36 edit corrections today," says director Andy Rodriguez,"and that should be it. What a project."
"We finished the director's commentary last night at 10 pm and some of
the green screen still needs correction. I want to be completely clear with our fans...because of the rush to get PowerCat 2 out, it's not perfect, but we're going to make the release date and time."
The DVD jacket will be completed the 21st and mailings to NPF members first begin immediately after. The DVD will include outtakes and the PowerCat extended dance scene...but will scrap the 'deconstruction' of the most complicated scene we're ever done, the 'de-powering' of PowerCat. "there's simply not enough time to include it," says Rodriguez,"if fans want it, we may have it in a later version of PowerCat 2."
Despite all that, PowerCat 2 is still a success, already surpassing Black Talon Broken Mirror and RetroGirl Episode 4 as NPF's all-time best seller. Final running time is nearly 40 minutes, and with over 2,300 edits (for those techies out there, 15 layers of effects, video, audio, graphics, sfx, music and so on! Wow!Black Talon had 7 layers!)
We'll see how PowerCat 2 is received and judge where do we go from here in terms of the looks of our future productions,"says Rodriguez,"If PowerCat is a success, we know what to include next time."
Quick Update December 19, 2006
Good News...we're in the home stretch and will make the release date, as stated! "This one is far and away our most intense production," says director Andy Rodriguez,"and when you watch it, keep in mind all the sound environment and much of the dialogue has been replaced...that took 4 weeks concurrently...of course, everyone will be paying attention to Jacque and the story, and not even notice!" The effects are in, and the story is, we hope, compelling.
As we mentioned before, NPF members will get first mailings, then everyone else...the download will be up this week as well. (don't forget to scroll down to see some of the action from PowerCat 2 Fully Charged!)
Quick Update December 13, 2006
Ok, here's the latest from New Phoenix Filmworks:
PowerCat 2 is going to be released next week, the 20th.
Though this one is far and away our best, most technically-advanced production, for those same reasons, we're still working on all the literally hundreds of details to bring you what I feel will be the best product ever out of New Phoenix Filmworks.
"We hope our fans understand this, and I am very confident when you see PowerCat 2, you'll totally understand why the one-week delay," says director Andy Rodriguez," I would dare say PowerCat 2 would rival some of the best stuff you see on the Sci-Fi Channel...Many fans may remember the big jump in quality we had between RetroGirl Episode 3 and Episode 4 with Megan Redstone...This time, this is a very big jump between our current bestseller Black Talon Broken Mirror and PowerCat 2.
I have also been made aware that some fans get a little impatient and say some really unkind things in forums about NPF when there is a delay...again, I assure you, when they see PowerCat 2, even they might understand this takes time, more time than they may have realized to get it right. Believe me, it's not just 'pushing a button' to get the effect you want. If they were real fans of our work, they will simply trust us and the process, and chill for a week...if you've liked our work before, trust us on this one now."
PowerCat's running time is also stabilizing at 42 minutes, and that doesn't include the special features planned.
Quick Update December 12, 2006 (don't forget to refresh your page!)
In the final stages of PowerCat 2 in post-production, and we have some interesting news! "We're going to 'lock' the production by Tuesday, and
the running time is currently 57 minutes ," says director Andy Rodriguez,"We were all surprised at the length...originally, PowerCat 2 was projected to be a 30-35 minute production!
PowerCat attacks her deadly torturer!!
PowerCat sends a deadly EM pulsewave at her attackers!
The final lock will determine the actual production running time of course, but the projection should make PowerCat 2 at least 45-50 minutes. Remember, the DVD version will have extended features including a director/actors running commentary, the most extensive outtakes we've ever done, the breakdown of what happens to PowerCat in the EMP Chamber and how we shot it with the green screen, and what promises to be the most popular feature of all, what we call The Gratuitous PowerCat Fertility Dance, featuring the lovely Jacque Rivas shaking her groove thang in an extended sexy dance scene not on the download!!
Quick Update December 10, 2006
PowerCat 2 is going to be our best production ever!!! Not only is it a great story and the sexiest story we've done yet, it's also our best effort technically! We've done some fun stuff with PowerCat 2...like her striking back at villians with her powerbolts...

PowerCat: Fully Charged is our next production, planned for a Nov 30th release!
This will be one of the productions NPF members will receive for free, and it
promises to be sexy and action packed!
"I told Andy that I'm up for anything," says new PowerCat superbabe Jacque Rivas,"I love his ideas and I'm looking forward to wearing the tights! I hope all the fans like my version of PowerCat!"
In Fully Charged, we pick up with PowerCat walking down dark streets to KEVL-TV to unmask herself...but a couple of guys spot her and have their own ideas...PowerCat is still under hypnosis, and does anything they tell her to do!
"I thought what the script called for was provocative, and very sexy," says Jacque," and thought 'what a challenge to do a scene like this...I love it!"
PowerCat eventually confronts Jane Coleman, her boss at Fung-Weidlen Defense Labs, who is stealing the EMP technology and selling it to a terrorist organization..."This is where PowerCat goes into this dark territory NPF fans haven't seen before," says executive producer Andy Rodriguez," I caution fans to brace themselves!"
PowerCat: Fully Charged will run 30-40 minutes, and presales begin Nov 17th! The release is planned for November 30th.
