THE DAY AFTER…

TODAY is “the day after” both the Hawaii and the International premiere on 25-26 September 2021 of the K. Simmons Productions’ “The STATIC Movie.” As the lead actor, Daniel S. Janik (“Will Gardner”), I want to thank everyone for the myriad texts, emails and phone calls letting me know about your personal experiences watching the movie. As author Raymond Gaynor (aka Daniel S. Janik) it is through such “real life” feedback that both my acting and writing continue to improve and mature. Right now, in between movies, I am focusing my energy on “Prophecy,” the sequel to the Amazon genre bestseller, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0999693859 — the second in what promises to be a literary trilogy, the first being TOTAL MELTDOWN (Borgo/Wildside 2009) by Raymond Gaynor and William Maltese — https://www.amazon.com/dp/1434403556.

These three books take a sideways look at what I call a “plausible” (Science Futuring – SciFu) or, if you prefer, a very probable future involving ever increasing technology and challenge.

For today, however, I plan to take a celebratory day off at with lunch at a fine hotel restaurant and a night at a fine Waikiki hotel. Movies and books can wait to tomorrow. And, yes, I’m committed to continuing pursuit of both. In fact, you can catch me at 6 PM Hawaii Time on an interview about acting-and-authoring with Gina Crabtree on 690 AM/94.3 FM “The Answer” — https://www.audacy.com/am690theanswer.... So much for a totally movie/book free day!

1:1 ODDS OF WINNING!

IN the words of Edna, played by Setsuko Tsuchiya, award-winning Savant author of IN SEARCH OF SOMATIC THERAPY (Savant 2017) — https://www.amazon.com/dp/0997247231) in The STATIC Movie, “I won, I won, I won!” Everyone who has ever heard the saying, “Don’t blame the player, blame the game!” wins watching the international premiere of the K. Simmons Production of “The STATIC Movie” on 25 Sept 2021 at 7 PM Hawaii time and 26 Sept 2021 at 7 PM Eastern Standard Time live-streamed on https://www.khon2.com.

As an author, physician, and member of a family that struggled with dementia as well as lead actor playing Will Gardner in the film, I’m honored to be part of this dramatic, heart-warming story of human courage and fortitude. Will Gardner is a curmongenous old veteran who’s seen and conquered every challenge life has thrown at him. Until now. This time he faces Alzheimer’s disease, a battle he soon realizes he can’t win. And yet…in The STATIC Movie, he discovers a way to deal with this final challenge in the form of an old Philco radio that plays only static.

Working under the direction of Mr. Kenneth “Kenny” Simmons with such an accomplished cast has been one of the great experiences of my life, and I look forward to seeing my latest book, THE EDGE OF MADNESS (Aignos 2020) by Raymond Gaynor appear in manga, animated and cinematic forms in the not so distant future.
