The well known Internet Movie Database (IMDb) has recognized the Crumlic Media film production "On Point: The Legacy of Jeff Korba" and granted the film a page in the official database.

The Internet Movie Database (IMDb) is an online database of information related to movies, actors, television shows, production crew personnel, video games, and most recently, fictional characters featured in visual entertainment media. IMDb launched on October 17, 1990, and in 1998 was acquired by Amazon.com.

Having an official IMDb page helps to legitimize independent film projects by placing them on the largest and most complete record of film, television and published media.

On Point gained the page thanks to it's submission to the New Hope Film Festival and their acceptance of the film for consideration. Currently three other festivals have received the film and are in the review process. One more is planned for certain submission this month and others will follow in the coming months.

Crumlic Media encourages fans of On Point to visit the IMDb page http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1580320/ and place a ranking vote to help the film continue it's sucess and growth.

CRUMLIC NEWS SERVICES HAS EVOLVED!

Since the inception of Crumlic News Services back in September of 2002, CNS has grown and evolved from simple freelance spot and assignment TV news video to complete video production and now feature film. Over the past few years it has become apparent that the  change in the company focus and direction was not being accurately reflected in the Crumlic News Services name. The time has come to make changes that will serve the company well into the future of the constantly evolving and changing field of video production and media.

Although our focus is now commercial & event video production, documentaries and film making, we still have roots in and provide our legendary services to television, web, radio and print news. All of the present television news services remain available to current and future news clients. As our stock of professional gear for high level video production continues to expand - news clients will continue to see an even heavier focus on quality of the video news products from us. We will continue to expand  event video, commercial and corporate video production to new levels and provide the exemplary customer service for which the Crumlic name has earned a great reputation.

THE PAST EIGHT YEARS

The past eight years has brought us wonderful clients and projects. Our first feature length film "On Point: The Legacy of Jeff Korba" is completed and in the promotions and distribution phase and doing quite well.  We have produced or worked on projects for PR agency Golin Harris of LA, Toyota, New Zealand TV 3, IrishJacks.com, eDavid Gallery, Verdi Square Festival of the Arts, Saint Philips Episcopal Church in Harlem, Great Notions Corporation, WNBC 4, WABC 7, WCBS 2, All network stations in Philadelphia, WFMZ-TV/DT 69 News, Service Electric Cable TV 2 News, RCN Cable News Local Edition, The Morning Call, Creo-Que Designs, the New York Mothers Television Show pilot, Saint Lukes Hospital,  Lehigh County, Allentown Fire Department & Training Academy, the International Association of Fire Fighters, The Movie Show/Willistein Productions, Interior Designer and Artist Julio Chakur, the Historic Hotel Bethlehem, Tom Carl Video Productions, Tribune Media, art galleries, museums, NYC off off Broadway theater productions and many more.

In early 2009 we purchased our first HD camera (seen on the title bar of the website) the AG-HVX-200A. This camera is an amazing peice of hardworking professional equipment and a significant step up from our overworked Canon GL2. A Sennheiser wireless microphone kit with both lav and stick mic was added to the equipment package rounding and other equipment was sent to be factory refurbished. We have entered 2010 with a feature film under our belt and the gear to continue our advancement in video production. The future is filled with continuing projects and new projects making it very bright and exciting!

PROJECTS NOW UNDERWAY

Presently, I am working with IrishJacks to produce a series of short film children's stories about the adventures of a group of Irish Jack Russell Terriers. These stories will be told in the fashion of the 1982 movie Homeward Bound.

A second video is nearing completion for Saint Philips Episcopal Church in Manhattan and the coming 2010 season of the Verdi Square Festival of the Arts will soon be upon us with fresh work and videos.

I continue to work with my dear friends David and Amy Stravitz of the eDavid Gallery and Great Notions Corporation and look forward to the next show at their gallery in Bethlehem. Just one block away from the eDavid Gallery is another fabulous client the Historic Hotel Bethlehem with whom we have produced a guest targeted video and two television commercials.

I am thrilled to announce the addition of Agora Gallery in Chelsea to the family of Crumlic Media arts clients. Their first video will be completed in early February and posted on their site and here on the new Crumlic Media site.

I look forward to returning to WFMZ-TV/DT 69 News as a "fill in" photog and Assignment Editor in late January and of course I always enjoy working with my friends at Service Electric Cable TV 2 News when the opportunities present themselves.

After two years in production a feature length documentary about Califon, NJ musician and Voorhees High School graduate Jeffrey Patrick Korba is being officially released on DVD December 1st and will be available to RCN Cable customers on their channel 4 and Video On Demand service in late December-early January.

Korba inspired friends and family in the short 19 years before his life was taken in an automobile accident Thanksgiving weekend in 2007. News of the accident was picked up by various television stations and newspapers in New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Montana and featured comments from people who talked of his free spirit and positive attitude. His wake and funeral drew hundreds of people from across the country.

In the film Jeff Korba’s humanity is explored through interviews with friends, family and peers and supported by video of his musical performances, home videos and photographs.
The film’s director Bill Crumlic was a friend and business associate of Korba. “I was devastated when I found out about the loss of Jeff. We were more than business associates, we were friends. We had several projects in the works together and lots of video already shot for them. The fact that I was so moved by Jeff, lead me to reach out to others and I quickly learned this kid meant the world to others too.” The raw video that was shot by Crumlic for music videos and promotional projects for Jeff’s various bands made the film possible. Bill Crumlic added “There was all this raw source video that we gathered in 2006 when Jeff was with the New York City band Monument, and from what turned out to be the final performance of Fresh Dub, a band that Jeff co-created with Mike Valeri in his hometown of Califon.” Crumlic says he and Korba joked that the payoff for providing video services would come in a few years when the A&E Network would need early band shots for Jeff’s Biography.  Crumlic said “Everyone was positive that Jeff was going to make it big, myself included. He naturally knew how to play to the camera and when to ignore the camera.” 

Jeff Korba had all the right elements in his life for a great career in music. He had the talent, drive, ambition, connections and good karma. Jeff’s father John Korba is well known for his work with Hall & Oats, Phoebe Snow, Bernard Purdie and for the past ten years as Associate Conductor of RENT on Broadway before the show closed. In the film John Korba talks of his son’s future. “He was very self motivated and he picked up on things by himself.” said Korba. “He never really said that music was going to be his career. He just wanted to play… He was open to a lot of things.”

Crumlic traveled to Montana, New Jersey and Pennsylvania to interview Korba’s friends and family. He heard stories of how Jeff made a positive impact on each person’s life.  With more than sixty interviews shot the film covers Jeff as a baby through the evening of the accident on November 25th, 2007. It includes professional performances and Korba’s own music creations from college.

DVD pre-release orders (by special invitation to friends and family) shipped last week to arrive on December 1st.  On Tuesday (12/1) orders will be accepted from the general public through Crumlic News Pictures and the films website www.onpointfilm.com

On Point: The Legacy of Jeff Korba is the first feature length project from Producer/Director Bill Crumlic.

Crumlic is available for interviews and can supply video and images from the movie for any news, critic or trade organizations interested in this compelling film about a young man who proved that one person can make a difference in the world.

This is a five minute sneak preview of the feature length documentary about musician Jeff Korba set for a New Jersey screening on June 22nd. Friends, family and fans of Jeff are able to see this screening for free but MUST be on the guest list. Read the copy of the announcement below to get on the guest list.

News Release Announcement made on 5/09/09:

Today, I am thrilled to announce the New Jersey screening date and details for On Point: The Legacy of Jeff Korba! Dave Steffan, the principal of Jeff’s high school has graciously agreed to let the school auditorium be the location for the first screening of the feature length documentary. To see this work of love and inspiration brought to the big screen is very exciting and it is certain to be a moving experience for Jeff’s friends and family. I cannot express how deeply moved I am that On Point will be shown in the very high school that provided Jeff with his education and encouraged his musical talent. We will watch the film on a screen above the very same stage he played so many times in talent shows.

I have always wanted friends and family to see the movie without having to pay a ticket charge and thanks to Principal Steffan and Voorhees High School there will be no charge to see this screening. To make sure we have enough seating for all who wish to attend and to assure we can make arrangements if the attendance is more than we expect we must require everyone to RSVP me at bill@crumlicnews.com before June 15th to be on the guest list and attend the showing. If you are not on our guest list and the show fills up you will not be allowed to attend because of maximum occupancy laws in public gathering spaces so it is important to RSVP as early as possible. I will send back a confirmation e-mail with the school physical location, directions and a Google Maps link to all who RSVP before the 15th. Those who are unable to RSVP by e-mail may call the Crumlic News Services phone at 646-596-6652. If you get voice mail leave your name, spelling and a way to contact you (in case of changes).

The screening will take place on Monday, June 22nd. The doors will open at 6:30 p.m. and the film will begin at 7:00 p.m. The movie is 85 minutes long. We have been fortunate to not require any sponsorships or commercial messages to fund the film and the various services it has taken to complete the project. In keeping with Jeff’s spirit everyone will be able to see the film for free before I take it to the film festivals and pitch it to HBO, Sundance/IFC Channel, Television networks and other venues. Please take advantage of the opportunity to enjoy the film on the big screen for free and to enjoy the fellowship of Jeff’s people! RSVP today!
