| Maniacts is the brainchild of Writer/Director Curt Cressler. It was filmed at the old state pen in Santa Fe, NM. Once again Ric found himself cast as an inmate, this time he played a homicidal maniac. The shoot was fun because it was the most film work Ric had done to date. The cast included (although not pictured) Leslie Easterbrook [Police Academy] The crew was an outstanding group of professionals in the industry from LA and locally from New Mexico. It was a priviledge to work with these fine people. Thank you Mr. Cressler and a tip of the hat to all the other fine folks! |
