The Believe Me Movie Trailer
Movie Preview: 
Believe Me

Riot Studios presents their first feature film: "Believe Me". That is to say, their first non-documentary feature film. 

 With college tuition coming due, four broke seniors create a bogus charity. Presumably, with hilarious results, since this is a comedy. Or with half-hilarious results, since this seems to be billed as half comedy and half drama. 

Directed by Will Bakke, who co-wrote the film with Michael B. Allen, "Believe Me" stars Alex Russell as Sam; Zachary Knighton (the guy with the sandwich truck from "Happy Endings") as Gabriel; Johanna Braddy as Callie (a.k.a. The Love Interest); Miles Fisher as Pierce; Sinqua Walls as Tyler; Max Adler as Baker; Nick Offerman as Sean; Christopher McDonald (Shooter McGavin from "Happy Gilmore") as Ken; and Lecrae (The Lecrae, Christian rapper Lecrae, who is credited in the movie as Lecrae Moore) as Dr. Darnall Malmquist. 

With Lecrae on the bill, the movie mustn't be offensive, or, at the very least, not too offensive to Christians. Or maybe it's not offensive after all, I just found out that Riot Studios is run by Christian filmmakers. Which also explains why Lecrae got on board. 

 But no matter what your faith is or isn't, if you're looking for a religious film, this probably isn't the movie for you. But hey, neither was "Noah". 

But if you like con movies, like I do; and comedies, like I do too; this could be the one for you!

Turns out it's half comedy (parody) to make you laugh; and half drama to make you think (ponder). Looks like they do what The Dean James Version did with "Holy Laughter!"; and that is, make cross puns. (See The Crosscheck Cookie Game Answers for the Kindle Edition.) So don't be cross, check it out for yourself. And don't worry, there won't be any altar calls or offering baskets. Although an empty jumbo popcorn bucket would work nicely.

Believe Me: I Need Your Help



When I first watched the trailer for Riot Studios’ first feature film “Believe Me”, I thought, “Oh, just another typical secular flick making fun of the gullibility of Christians.” But as it turns out, the fine film-making folks at Riot Studios are Christians! What? 

They claim their movie is part parody to make you laugh; and part drama to make you think. They like to raise big questions with their films, the previous two being the documentaries released under the Provident Films banner: “One Nation Under God” and “Beware of Christians”. What?! 

The plot involves a college student who needs to raise tuition money fast, so he gets his friends to help him form a bogus charity. His theory, or rationale, is that people like the feeling they get when they think they’re giving to a worthy cause, so he’s helping to provide that wonderful feeling for a nominal fee. What?!? 

Part of the cast includes Lecrae, a Christian rapper, so that must mean it’s not offensive, or at least not overly offensive, to Christians. And again, the producers themselves are Christians too. So my guess is that before the movie ends, the Schemer will learn a valuable lesson. 

Please click the following link to visit the “Believe Me” home page where you can watch the 2:11 trailer for yourself; and let me know what you think: 


Please Help: I really, really want over 10 million people to click this link.  

My goal of over 10 million people clicking this link to watch the trailer may seem like a lot, but after you click the link to watch the trailer; invite at least 100 of your friends; and when they each click this link and invite at least 100 of their friends; and each of their friends each click this link and invite at least 100 of their friends who each click this link; and each of their friends each click this link and invite at least 10 of their friends who each click this link; that right there’s over 10 million people clicking my now famous link to watch the trailer. Of course, that only works when everyone clicks this link and invites others to do so too, so I’m counting on your full participation. Thank you so much.

Bonus Post: Channel Surfing Is FREE Sept. 5-9, 2013


Channel Surfing [Kindle Edition]

Dean Burkey (Author)


Channel Surfing


Laughs, Chills, Suspense, Thrills

From comedian Dean Burkey, the author of Monster Laughs, Seasons Without Reason, & Exit Strategies, comes an Action-Packed Comedy Thriller!

Surfer dude Brad is dying to catch a big wave; and he does. Die, that is. The big wave catches him.

Paramedics bring him back. But he doesn't come back alone. After sunset, he channels ghosts.

Unable to control the voices blurting out of his mouth, Brad embarrasses himself and others.

Channeling the dead isn't always as fun as it sounds. Especially when slain informant Tony hijacks your vocal chords. Incurring the wrath of those who murdered that rat in the first place.

Detective Rusty hears of Brad's newfound gift and protects him from thugs Ben and Jerry, who aren't as competent as their crime boss hoped. Seeking to avenge his partner's death, Rusty cons Brad into impersonating the informant on the stand.

With danger all around, Tony double-crosses Brad too.

What's a channeling surfer to do?

Action, excitement, and laughter abound in this comedy thriller, which also includes romance and mystery, to provide something fun for everyone.

Excerpts and Snippets


Brad furrowed his brow further.  “How long was I out?”

[Cindy]: “Since yesterday.”  She thought about the bizarre talking-in-his-sleep, or in his case, talking-in-his-coma incident.  “Or less.”

Brad ran his fingers through her curly hair.  She cooed.

He sighed.  “Oh, good.  People who are out longer than that often suffer weird side effects.”


[Brad]: “You hated me being empty-headed; and now I’ve got a convention in here.”


Brad opened his eyes, gawked at the disheveled man before him.  Too clean to be a beggar.  Too unkempt to be a cop.  And too vertical to be a junkee.  “I’m no angel.  Who are you?”

[Rusty]: “I’m no angel either.  But I carry a badge.”

Brad gulped.  Not those guys again.  How did this one get away without having to follow the basic rules of grooming and hygiene?  “Thought of another joke, after you threw me out?”

[Rusty]: “I didn’t throw you out.  I’m crazy enough to believe you.”  Rusty held out his hand.

Brad glowered at Rusty’s hand.  “If only I were crazy enough to believe you, we’d have it made.”  Unkempt or not, he didn’t trust cops.


“Is this place?” He gulped. “Safe?”

Rusty nodded. “I think so. But I get shot at everyday. So safe may mean something different to me than it does to you.” 


“Don’t fret Blondie, you’re not crazy. But the voices in your head are.”


“Hey, Benny.”  Jerry asked, “Where’s your gun?”

“Shut up!”

“That’s coming out of your pay.”

“I said, ‘Shut up!’”

“Whatcha gonna do Benny?  Shoot me?  Ya’ don’t got no gun.”


[Rusty]: “Cheer up.  You don’t look that stupid.”

Brad pounded the dashboard.  “I don’t look stupid at all!”


[Rusty]: “Why do you suddenly make my ex-wife seem emotionally sound?”  Although he and Sheila hadn’t finalized their divorce proceedings, he didn’t believe they could reconcile, so he already considered her his ex-wife.

[Brad]: “You wouldn’t understand, Tin-Man.”

Rusty laughed.  “There’s not a super power in the world that can save you from love.”

Brad blushed.  Love is the ultimate kryptonite.


Disobeying Rusty’s orders, Brad stuck his head out the door.  “Don’t get ice from the machine here.  I need frozen spring water.”

[Rusty]: “I’ll fetch organic, fresh-squeezed, twice-filtered, rain water from a spring surrounded by aloe plants and daffodils.”

[Brad]: “Don’t sweat the daffodils.  Although aloe sounds cool.”


Rusty drove at a steady pace down Beachview Drive. 

Brad fidgeted. “Looks like she misses me.” 

Rusty shrugged. “Or she’s allergic to flowers.” 


“Bad guys go bang-bang at us. We go bang-bang back.”


“I’m a lover, not a shooter. Make love, not shoot.” 

“Aw, that’s sweet. Your gal can say that at your funeral.”

Cover Info: 



Bonus Excerpt:


Two muscular male nurses Chip and Mark bounded toward Brad.  
Chip clenched his fists.  Rehabilitated out of a bike gang, he missed the adrenaline rush of a testosterone-fueled, hand-to-hand altercation.  “We’re trying to save this man’s life.”  
“So am I.”  Brad grabbed the gurney.  
As Chip and Mark huddled around him, Brad’s eyes rolled back.  “Back off punks!  Ya’ don’t scare me!”  
As Chip and Mark lunged forward, Brad yelped and ducked under the gurney.  
Dr. Monroe, Chip, Mark, and the rest of the medical team rolled their eyes.  What a goober.  Macho moron afraid of his own shadow.  
While the others considered him an easily frightened coward, Brad unlocked the wheels.  
As Chip and Mark reached under the gurney to nab him, Brad darted out the other side, wielding a scalpel and a hypodermic needle.  “Say, look what I found.”  
While the other medical personnel gasped and backed away, Chip stepped forward with clenched, pulsating fists.  
Brad brandished the scalpel and hypodermic needle.  “Split or be split!”
