A message from Carl Herring Jr. President of Three J Productions, LLC

Like most businesses Three J Productions, LLC is trying to manage during these difficult times.  And as we make the most of staying indoors and keeping our distance, while we wait for our lives to return to some semblance of the life we use to know, I would like to take this moment to say thank you to all those healthcare workers out there who put their own lives on the line everyday to help those infected with the COVID-19 virus.

Healthcare workers like Dr. Kim who cared for me as I battled the virus.  For three weeks I fought the virus from home, but not without daily phone calls from Dr. Kim to monitor my progress and make sure that I was taking my medications and keeping an eye on my temperature.  Once I was finally feeling better, I returned to her office to get my blood test done, Dr. Kim greeted me with this big smile and began to thank me for getting better.  Of course it was I who had to thank her for all of her constant care and true dedication to her profession that makes her and healthcare workers like her so special.  To Dr. Kim and healthcare workers everywhere, thank you for all that you do.

I feel very blessed to have survived this virus and would like to take this moment to say my prayers are with those who may be currently fighting the virus and to the loved ones of those who lost their fight.  May God bless us all as we get through this together.

Three J Productions, LLC and Carl Herring Jr. Gets Demented 1

Doing a follow up to my last post.  I talked about Demented 2: The Beginning, a film that I have a small financial stake in and I'm credited as one of the film's producers.  The film is the creation of the very talented writer and director Nigel Hartwell who is currently working on Demented 1.  The film is in post production and Nigel has a new Kickstarter fundraiser going on to raise funds to put the finishing touches on the film.

Below is the link to his fundraiser for those who would like to contribute.  There are some really great rewards for your contributions and you'll have Nigel's undying appreciation for your support.

Please share the link with people in your network and thank you for the support.

Meeting the star of The Last Dragon at the Hudson Valley Comic Con

I took a ride the weekend of April 21-22 to the Hudson Valley Comic Con in Poughkeepsie, NY.  It felt great getting back on the convention circuit and seeing old friends and making some new ones.  I was particularly thrilled to meet Taimak, martial arts champion, actor, stuntman and star of the 1985 Sony Picture cult classic film The Last Dragon.

 I'm standing on Taimak's right side and in the picture are a couple of my buddies.  It was a real pleasure talking to him about his training and future plans.  What a great guy and a true star. 

In coming months I will be on the road visiting more comic book conventions and sharing some of my pics and stories in future blogs.  I hope you will stop by Three J Productions, LLC blogspot and share in the moments.  - Carl Herring Jr. / President Three J Productions, LLC

Carl Herring Jr. branches out from Comic book writer to Film Producer

Since the first day that I started Three J Productions, LLC my goal was to take 3JP's collection of comic book characters from the printed page and branch out into the animation and film industry.  My absence from the blog these past few months has been due to my desire to reach this goal.

I've been using my time away from the blog to network with some very talented filmmakers, which has allowed me the opportunity to invest financial and promotional support to several film projects.  These projects are not the property of Three J Productions nor do they feature the company's characters.  But the film projects do represent a move in the direction that I want to take for the company, which is to make it more than just a comic book company, but an entertainment media company that has Intellectual Properties that span all avenues of entertainment distribution, from Film, TV and Web.  My association with the projects and with the filmmakers has taught me some valuable lessons about the film making process.  I am confident that the lessons I've learned and the relationships I've made in the film community will help me reach my ultimate goal.

To learn more about the film projects that I've been attached to as a producer and associate producer you can go to my IMDB page by following the link below.

As always, I thank all of you who have shown your support to Three J Productions, LLC and hope you will continue to support 3JP as the company moves towards bigger and better things in the coming years.  Also, check the blog for future updates about upcoming publications like the Black Tao graphic novel, Chase and Hunt(TM) in an all new adventure and the ongoing exploits of The Enforcers.  Three J Productions, LLC the first name in visual arts entertainment.(TM)   - Carl Herring Jr. President Three J Productions, LLC.

3JP Superhero Spotlight

I'm excited to announce that the Three J Productions, LLC blog will start publishing monthly spotlights on the superheroes and villains from the 3JP comics universe.  Each month a different character will be highlighted with an origin story, plus the title were the character can be found.

Each spotlight will also feature character artwork from talented artists like Tod Smith, Ed Coutts, Scott Ambruson, Chris Torres and Ejay Russell to name a few.  Plus, each month the blog will supply Links to were our line of Books, Posters and T-Shirts can be purchased.

With the new monthly superhero spotlight, the blog as always will continue to keep you updated with the latest news from Three J Productions, like our move into film and television productions later this year.

2013 looks to be an exciting year, so I hope all of you who have supported us, will continue to follow the blog to see how the year unfolds as we push to be the first name in visual arts entertainment(TM).

An Evening with Michael Jai White

I recently had the pleasure of attending a fundraising event for The Ralphola Taylor Community Center YMCA.  The event was An Evening with Michael Jai White.  It was great to see the multi-talented actor, writer and director Michael Jai White back in our hometown of Bridgeport, Conn. to help raise money for the local community center where he spent much of his time as a youth.

The evening was filled with music, food and entertainment supplied by the RTCC YMCA Dance Ensemble.  The highlight of the evening was when Michael began sharing stories of how important the Community Center and the staff were in helping to shape him into the man that he is today.  He also stressed the importance of having The Ralphola Taylor Community Center YMCA open to the future youths of Bridgeport.

Gene Colan RIP

Just read that comic book legend, Gene Colan has passed away at the age of 84. Although I never met Mr. Colan, I credit him with fueling my passion for comic books as well as my desire to one day become a comic book creator myself. Reading Gene Colan's work on titles like Captain America and Daredevil during the late 60s and 70s brought me such pleasure as a child that instantly I knew that I would create my own comic books one day and try to pass along the same pleasure that I got as a child, to those who would read my books one day. In honor of Mr. Colan, I'm about to take some of my old issues of Daredevil out of the protective plastics and sit back with a cold soda and a bag of chips and enjoy myself. Gone but not forgotten, your works will live on, to be enjoyed for years to come. Thank you Gene. My condolences go to Gene's family and friends. -
