MYSTERY REMAINS UNSOLVED
The Paulding Light: A True Unsolved Mystery

Scientists, researchers and astronomers have researched it for over a half a century. Speculation and wild theories are still abound.

Absolutely no one has provided a definitive answer to the light known worldwide as: THE PAULDING LIGHT.

A confirmed mystery of the upper peninsula of Michigan. Producer Director Bill Rebane the first to spend over two years investigating the phenomenon and presenting it to the public on film, to this date maintains that this phenomenon could well challenge the scientific community and its research at its best.

While the United States Forrest Service is determined to explain it away as being of “Ghostly Origin.” No evidence has sufficed to confirm such speculation.

The Discovery network show Fact or Fake batted zero with its investigations into the light. Finally giving up on it and confirming that it was indeed “fact rather than fake." In short. A true unsolved mystery.

The new re-released Digital documentary a regional best selling DVD is now spurring even further interest and investigations into the one and only mystery in North America yet unsolved.

  • SILVER STREET- THE DOCUMENTARY
    An introduction

    For over one hundred years, Hurley Wisconsin and its main drag, “Silver Street,” has received its share of national media exposure. Less much for its attributes then for its infamy.

    In the annals of history, Hurley is recorded as the “Hell hole” of the America’s northern frontier, the iron Range.

    Besides offering the nation the valuable commodities of Virgin timber stands and iron ore, Silver Street’s main trade was Booze, Sin and Corruption. With its 67 saloons to a six-block stretch of Silver Street. Whiskey flowed not by the glass, but by the barrel.

    Famous American Author Edna Ferber, immortalized “Lotta Morgan” the infamous Hurley entertainer and prostitute, in her novel Come and get it.
    MGM further brought attention to the northern frontier with its production of Come and get it winning an academy award in 1936.

    Hurley’s defiance of the law and it’s sinful ways continued from its beginning, past the days of prohibition and the times of Al Capone, Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson who loved Hurley’s profile and the ways it did business.

    Silver Street - The Documentary digs into the history books and stories which emerges as a colorful mosaic, intriguing if not riveting drama of epic proportions that could fill volumes and provide hours of entertainment for the silver screens.

    Americas Wild West. From Dodge City to Tombstone, they can all take a back seat to Early Burly Hurley.

    Independent Artists Pictures to release Dum, Dum & Dummer
    September 5, 2011

    Dum, Dum & Dummer is an action comedy filmed at the Shooting Ranch Studios in Wisconsin in late l987. Never released world wide except in Germany as a first cut, titled Twisters Revenge

    Lost film materials prevented the production company to go into final cut and the first choice title Dum, Dum & Dummer subsequently the picture ended up on the shelf for over l4 years. Dum, Dum & Dummer is a wacky action comedy for audiences of all ages lacking nothing in action and going far above in production values than the production budget allowed at that time.

    Never released as a single title DVD or on Television globally. Dum, Dum & Dummer in the eyes of IAP may garner some steam in foreign and domestic sales.

    Starring the Bungling badies, two M-2 U.S. Army Tanks and a Monster truck, complimented with a cast of Davind Allan Smith, Dean West and Richard Luka and with additional current photography, Dum, Dum & Dummer will be released in the U.S. around time for the Christmas Holiday season or earlier.
