As some of you may know, Denis McGee's son, Gerry McGee, is making the film. His wife just passed away this spring. He could be taking some time off.

He did state the following:
"making a film is a long process'...if yu r on a '..tight ' budget'..yu shoot as much as yu can..in a few days''..sometimes maybe ..reshoot something...because it didn't work...so there .anyway..i should have it done by October..then the editing process...then..."

If you're on Facebook, Deedy had posted some photos during the shooting of the film:

Deedy for some time was posting updates about the film and general history of Denus and Amede here:

Thanks a lot, Wade.

I certainly enjoyed that. I didn't know there was an Amedé page on FB. Of course I "liked" it rightaway and watched some pictures of the shooting - with among others the famous "handkerchief" moment - and was amazed how much Gerry McGee looks like his father.



PS: Is it Denis or Denus?

Peer, he was born at a time when most parents had no education, so names were written on legal documents (like birth certificates) phonetically. His name was written on his birth certificate as "Denus", which is the way it was pronounced, though English speakers later would refer to him by the English equivalent of "Dennis". For me that would be like called a "Pierre" as "Peter", so I always use the way it was written on his birth certificate and the way I knew it was supposed to be pronounced.

I agree. Interestingly enough, his family knew him as "Dennis"; well enough to put that name on his gravestone.

Not really, Wade, he was my great grandfather, and he was always referred to by "Denus" by all I knew, including Gerry. I think they just went along with the spelling that had become accepted over the years. Kind of like Balfa and Bolfa.

And I guess what I'm saying is regardless of how it is spelled, the people that knew him called him "Denus".

Thanks Bryan.

The patron saint of Paris, France is St Denis (Dyonisius).
My sister's name is Denise. In French, these are the correct spellings of both names. But whether it's Dennis, Denis or Denus, we all know who he was. A great- grandfather to be poud of.
Thanks for the info and I'm looking forward to the film.

Thanks, Peer, just another clue that his name wasn't Dennis.
