Presentation

I have worked alternately as EP/Producer/Writer/Director/Composer and Actor on award-winning shorts and feature films and in television and theatre over many years. I was infused with a love of cinema, TV, and theatre from a young age, and it has become a career for me over the years. I alternate between writing, directing, composing, acting, producing--basically anything that an indie filmmaker needs to make his vision a reality.

I have had the opportunity to work with Academy Award-winning and nominated stars and envision myself with the best and making wonderful content. I have two films in post as we speak that I'm very excited about Letters from Heaven (Par Deux), and The Accompanist Awakening (Par Deux). Those trailers/POCs will be available within a month or so.

If you want to see a screener for any of my award-winning films mentioned below, it would be my pleasure to send you a screener link.

Pitch Deck / Synopsis

Jimmy Comes Marching Home (feature film, pre-production)

Written by Robert Gulack and Frederick Keeve

Starring Frederick Keeve, Bob Shatto, Angelle Brooks, and more.

Logline: Jimmy Stewart, a certified war hero, has been discharged from the Army and returns to civilian life, now faced with a Hollywood that has changed and doesn't want him anymore. Faced with no job offers and no place to live he crashes at best friend, Henry Fonda’s sprawling Brentwood ranch, where he lives in the “dollhouse” that Henry built for his kids, Jane and Peter Fonda.

Synopsis: Jimmy Stewart, a certified war hero, has been discharged from the Army and returns to civilian life, now faced with a Hollywood that has changed and doesn't want him anymore.  After being photographed for the cover of Life Magazine, and welcomed back to his hometown, Indiana, Pennsylvania, he returns to a very different post-war Hollywood. No longer the hot up-and-comer, he faces competition from newer stars like Gregory Peck, as well as a studio system that is at the beginnings of being dismantled in favor of stars being “independent contractors.”

Stewart is advised by his former agent Leland Hayward to re-invent himself to stay competitive. Faced with no job offers and no place to live he crashes at best friend, Henry Fonda’s sprawling Brentwood ranch, where he lives in the “dollhouse” that Henry built for his kids, future movie stars, Jane and Peter Fonda.

No longer the “bon vivant” ladies’ man before the war, Stewart is near suicidal, suffering from an undiagnosed severe PTSD as the result of leading over 20 terrifying bombing missions over Germany to help turn the tide of the war against Hitler and the Nazi’s, where he saw many of his fellow pilots and comrades die in the brutal air battles over Germany and France. Even former co-stars and girlfriends Lana Turner and Ginger Rogers barely recognize the shadow of a movie star who looks 20-years older than his actual years.

It is up to three-time Oscar-winning writer/director Frank Capra to convince his beleaguered star, badly damaged by the horrors of aerial combat in wartime service, to once again step into the saddle and reinvent himself as an actor, in what would turn out to be their favorite film, the classic It's a Wonderful Life.

Pitch Deck / Synopsis

Vine

Writer: Frederick Keeve
Time period: Modern day
Locations: Culver City, Amazon Rainforest
Genre: Teenage adventure/thriller with an environmental twist. Arachnophobia,
Gremlins and Stranger Things meet An Inconvenient Truth. (The first two films
combined grossed over $200M worldwide. Equivalent to $500M today. Stranger
Things is a billion-dollar franchise)
Tagline: “Nature Fights Back.”
Genre Pitch: Deep in the Amazon jungle the rainforest has begun to rebel against
its own impending extinction by fighting back against its principal predator: Man.
Logline: The Johnson family moves into a rundown house in Culver City, and
while cleaning up the backyard, deadly vines from deep in the Amazon
rainforest become entrenched in the neighborhood with frightening results. It’s
a thrill ride through the worst fears of a typical suburban neighborhood.
Synopsis:
The Johnson family moves into a rundown house in Culver City, and while
cleaning up the backyard, a mysterious gardener, Francisco Chavez, befriends the
Johnson’s teenage children, Nick and Steve. He teaches the Johnson boys about
carnivorous plants so Nick can win the high school’s annual science fair. What
they don’t realize is that Francisco has escaped the multi-billion-dollar Jari River
Project that has destroyed thousands of acres of rainforest in the Amazon, because
a group of renegade vines are making humans their hosts.

The vines become entrenched in the Johnson’s suburban neighborhood and one
by one, the gardener’s assistants, the pool man, the nosey neighbor next door,
even the kids’ science teacher become victims of this deadly and highly
intelligent form of plant life. The clever vines easily outwit the adults, so it is up
to Nick, Steve, and their teenage friends to figure out how to destroy the vines,
and fight for “survival of the fittest,” before it is too late. Linked to Man’s
destruction of the world’s rainforests, with years of in-depth research about the
Amazon Rainforest, lianas, and carnivorous plants, it’s a scientifically based,
fun thrill ride through the worst fears of a typical suburban neighborhood.
Background:
ABC News confirms that "fires in the Amazon rainforest are up more than
80% this year." Residents from Sao Paolo have reported black rain from fires
in the Amazon. The severity of the fires has prompted the state of Amazonas to
declare an emergency. Scientists warn that if the Amazon fires reach a “point of
no return,” the forests could be replaced by fire-prone brush and savanna,
causing the death of millions of species, according to the World Wildlife Fund.
CNN reports that the Amazon rainforest is an ecological marvel. It’s twice
the size of India, according to the World Wildlife Fund, and it’s the largest
remaining tropical rainforest in the world. It’s home to a least 10% of the
world’s biodiversity, produces 20% of the world’s oxygen and helps regulate the
temperature of the whole planet. Without it, climate change could become
irreversible

Environmental and climate change experts say the Amazonian fires are
mostly caused by humans, notably cattle ranchers. These illegal operators are
being encouraged to clear land by the policies of the current Brazilian
government, eager to exploit the Amazon's agricultural and mineral wealth. This
ties directly into the main themes of Vine.
Vine has been developed over twenty years, and now is ready for the
next step. Considering the recent Covid-19 pandemic that is truly a global
epidemic, combined with the climate crises, it does seem that Mother Nature is
fighting back. Vine addresses the issue of rainforest survival as a critical link to
man’s survival in the next few decades. This story sends a crucial message,
provides some startling factual information, and has the potential to sweep across
market segments and demographics to become a huge blockbuster.
Frederick Keeve produced, wrote, directed and composed the score for the
award-nominated From Russia to Hollywood: The 100-Year Odyssey of
Chekhov and Shdanoff, which featured many award-winning actors such as
Gregory Peck, Jack Palance, and many more. Keeve’s other producer/writer/
director credits include: Maxine Waters EPC, Small Town Conspiracy, Purple
Sail, Cadillac City, Designated Caretaker Redux, The Accompanist, The
Godfather Buck, Salome: A Love Story, Back to the Heart, Jimmy Comes
Marching Home, and upcoming stand-alone sequel The Accompanist
Awakening, the faith-based Letters from Heaven and the six-episode Limited
Series by Edgar Rice Burroughs The Girl from Hollywood.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Feature Film ‘The Accompanist’ Wins Top Prize at Silicon Beach  Film Festival

LOS ANGELES - JUNE 26, 2019 - The Accompanist, a new feature film directed  by Frederick Keeve, has won the Grand Prize – Best Feature Film at the Silicon  Beach Film Festival awarded to writer/director Frederick Keeve, Friday, June  21st at an award ceremony at the Proud Bird restaurant in Los Angeles.

The Accompanist was recently featured in a ‘spotlight’ article in Film Daily.  Click on link here: https://filmdaily.co/craft/spotlight/the-accompanist/

Its win at the Silicon Beach Film Festival follows the film’s success at the Cannes  Film Market where Los Angeles-based sales company Motion Picture Exchange  (MPX) sold The Accompanist to high-profile Pro-Fun Media ensuring distribution  across a dozen foreign territories in Europe.

Set in the heart of Los Angeles, The Accompanist tells the story of a troubled  ballet star who is seeking a comeback and finds salvation in a piano accompanist  who can shape shift time with his music. When the ballet dancer’s boyfriend sees  the growing attraction between the dancer and the pianist, an all out war ensues  to see whose love will win out. The film is a timely gay love story, with music at  its heart, featuring a beautiful array of classical music. The film stars director,  writer, producer, actor, Frederick Keeve, in a leading role alongside dancer and  actor, Ricky Palomino, and actor Aaron Cavette. The film also features dancer  and actress, Juliet Doherty, currently starring in Driven to Dance on Netflix.

The Accompanist, a fantasy/drama gay love story with magical realism, reflects  my vision in the theme of the film "using the healing power of art to unite and  celebrate who we truly are." I'm very proud of my diverse cast and the portrayal  of the gay male experience through realistic, complex characters, shining a light  onto gay relationships as well as a family drama covering such areas as  domestic violence, sex, career ambition, love and connection, says The  Accompanist Director, Frederick Keeve.

The Accompanist shot in LA, is supported by a stellar cast and crew, including:  Angelle Brooks who starred alongside Pamela Anderson in V.I.P.; Juliet Doherty  who recently played the romantic lead in the feature film Free Dance directed by  Michael Damian; Cinematographer, David M. Parks; and seasoned sound  designer, Wayne Peet, who has previously worked on many classic music  documentaries about Bob Dylan and Paul McCartney, and was sound mixer  and/or composer on such film classics as Bull Durham, The Spitfire Grill, White  Men Can’t Jump, Blaze and Scream 2.

Peter Greene, Silicon Beach Film Festival Program Director, said: We are  excited to screen Frederick Keeve's exciting new feature film The  Accompanist at our festival. We showed his wonderful short film  Designated Caretaker Redux at one of our other festivals and enjoy seeing  how Frederick's filmmaking skills have grown since then. His and the film's  passion and energy are a joy to behold.

Frederick Keeve is an independent filmmaker who produced, wrote, directed and  composed the score for the documentary From Russia to Hollywood: The 100- Year Odyssey of Chekhov and Shdanoff narrated by Gregory Peck which closed  the Hollywood Film Festival at the iconic Paramount Theatre at Paramount  Studios and was a featured selection at the London Film Festival. He also wrote,  directed and produced the multi-award winning short film, Designated Caretaker  Redux starring W. Morgan Sheppard, and has been a member of The Producers  Guild of America (PGA) for more than ten years. He teamed up with British  producer, Julie Eagleton, for The Accompanist.

About the Silicon Beach Film Festival

Silicon Beach Film festival arose from the dedication of Jon Gursha and Peter  Greene, who are the creators of the Marina del Rey and Culver City Film  Festivals and Silicon Beach Film Distribution. The festival, now in its 4th year, will  screen all its official selections from June 14 to June 20 at the Cinemark18&XD  at The Promenade, Howard Hughes Center, Los Angeles.

About The Accompanist

Mr. Keeve creates his art, especially with filmmaking, from a very personal  space. In The Accompanist, the idea was born as he sat at a grand piano at  Westside Academy of Dance in Santa Monica where he plays piano for ballet  classes. He grew up trained as a classical pianist and wanted a vehicle to not  only be able to use his original piano music for the score, but to tell the story of  gay love against the backdrop of classical ballet and classical music. He felt the  LGBTQ community has been underserved as far as complex gay stories that  show gay love realistically with all its angst and beauty. Mixing in a bit of magical  realism, family drama, and Jason's (the lead character) relationship with his  teenage children, he evokes a dramatic story full of tragedy and hope.
