| with Juan Riedinger -Spades shoot |
Kudos to filmmaker John Wesley Norton for the premier of his two films, "Spades" and "Dr. Spine" which I thoroughly enjoyed. Two great films, very different from each other yet both carrying the same grip that grabs you by the throat. The acting performed in Spades was exceptional, just full of fire and wit. The writing was intelligent with twisted sick dangerous turns around every corner; I loved the ending. I could see where John's inspiration came from in making "Spades" Watch this film and I promise, it'll wind up along side your other all time favorites. The ending....Wow. Dr. Spine...Awesome! If you want to go on a crazy roller coaster ride, here you go! This is a bloody, wacky, cool and sexy film with a lot of Chicago actors. Another keeper. The turnout was huge, several celebrities attending.. (Joe Caballero - actor/filmmaker/audience member review)
Juan Riedinger is a very talented actor from Canada! He has been in many tv shows and films. He recently won a Leo for his film work! Keep an eye out for this guy!
