Short When the Nazis begin killing Jews in Holland, a group of youth fight to save the lives of the innocent. Medium In Holland during WWII, Corrie ten Boom’s army of untrained teenagers including Hans Poley, Piet Hartog, and their friends navigate a deadly labyrinth of challenges to rescue the Jewish people in their panicked exodus from death. All the while, they embark on a nonstop, action-packed hunt with the Underground involving Gestapo hijacks, daring rescues, codes in windswept old windmills, and stunning miracles in one of history’s most famous dramas. Climaxing in the true, breath-taking rescue of an entire orphanage of Jewish children marked for mass execution by Hitler’s assassins, audiences will both cheer and weep at this exciting, sobering true tale of Hans and the youth resistance movement that dared to resist one of History's cruelest tyrants. Long When Corrie ten Boom realizes the rising Nazi empire will swallow Holland and create the holocaust of every innocent Jew in secret death-camps, she faces the deadly threat of these “Death-Skull Storm Troopers” with a surprising remedy: an army comprised of untrained teenagers. Around that same time, brilliant young physics student, Hans Poley, chooses not to join the Nazi party. To protect him, his parents force him into hiding in the home of Corrie ten Boom. While in hiding, he witnesses the atrocities toward the suffering Jews and decides he must do something. Hans is drawn by resistance fighter, Piet Hartog, and love of Piet’s life - Aty van Woerden (Corrie ten Boom’s niece) into an intricate web of espionage and clandestine activities centered in the famous Hiding Place. As part of Corrie ten Boom’s army of untrained teenagers, Hans, Piet, and their friends navigate a deadly labyrinth of challenges to rescue the Jewish people in their modern-day, panicked exodus from death while embarking on a nonstop, action-packed hunt with the underground involving Gestapo hijacks, daring rescues, codes in windswept old windmills, and stunning miracles in one of history’s most famous dramas. Climaxing in the true, breath-taking rescue of an entire orphanage of Jewish children marked for mass execution by Hitler’s assassins, audiences will both cheer and weep at this exciting, sobering tale of Hans and the youth resistance movement that dared to resist one of History's cruelest tyrants. Copyright 2011 Return to the Hiding Place | www.hide-movie.com | 210-892-0654 | pg.3 DIRECTOR'S STATEMENT - Peter Spencer I’ve always been a fan of events in history which were pivotal turning points for mankind. The smallest of decisions, the most innocent of contemplations - where the consciences of men, women and children prevailed against the popular and social acceptable norms of the day. As a younger man, I was privileged to meet a humble, gentle man whose act of rebellion against Nazi tyranny in World War II during the invasion of the Netherlands reminded me of that eloquently simple figure we all remember - standing alone and solitary in Tiananmen Square as the tanks of the Chinese military ground to a halt inches from his beating heart. Hans Poley became a dear friend to me through the decades and inspired me to write of his exploits, many of which were so traumatic and horrifyingly unpredictable as to their results that he was unable to even broach the subject in his home with his dear wife in the decades following the war. They never recovered from the shock of their teen years that should have been filled with innocence and laughter. For years following the war, Corrie ten Boom (of the famous Hiding Place) delivered speeches before millions world-wide. She would reference the unique resistance fighters who did the actual smuggling of the Jews into her hiding place and then out of her Dutch home to places beyond the deadly reach of the Nazis throughout Europe. She called this underground resistance her “teenage army” – mere kids aged 13 to 19. After 14 years of writing and seeking funding for this film, the perfect storm of historical events has gathered for a world ready to hear this incredible tale of innocence lost, and immortality gained. I have lived 56 years doing commercial work producing ads, speaking publicly, writing and producing documentaries with a sense of an unrequited love. My vision since I was a boy and the only true expression of my gifts, passions and expression has been through writing and directing films where truth alters the audience long after the credits have run. And thus the perfect storm: a great story with real historical characters in a stunning story of self-sacrifice for the greater good, brought to life by the most gifted and devoted actors, crew and fulfillment of my life-long dream, all climaxing into what I believe to be a moment in time that will impact society for generations to come. Copyright 2011 Return to the Hiding Place | www.hide-movie.com | 210-892-0654 | pg.4 BIOS - Actors John Rhys-Davies Eusi Acclaimed British actor John Rhys-Davies graduated from the University of East Anglia and is probably best known to film audiences for his roles in the blockbuster hits Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) and Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (1989). Rhys-Davies was introduced to a new generation of fans in the blockbuster trilogy The Lord of the Rings in the role of Gimli the dwarf. He has also had leading roles in Victor Victoria (1982), The Living Daylights (1987) and King Solomon's Mines (1985). Rhys-Davies, who was raised in England, Africa and Wales, credits his early exposure to classic literature for his decision to pursue acting and writing. He later refined his craft at London's renowned Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts. His television credits include James Clavell's Shogun (1980) and Noble House (1988), Great Expectations (1989), War and Remembrance (1988) and Archaeology (1991). Rhys-Davies has a host of theater roles to his credit, including The Misanthrope, Hedda Gabler and most of Shakespeare's works. He divides his time between Los Angeles and the Isle of Man. David Thomas Jenkins Hans Poley David Thomas Jenkins hails from South Carolina where he studied acting and playwriting at the College of Charleston. David performed in numerous plays at school and in the regional theatre community as well as qualifying for the Irene Ryan award, winning playwriting awards from the Association for Theatre in Higher Education, and taking home the “Best Local Actor Award” from the Charleston City Paper in 2000. After graduating, Jenkins moved to Los Angeles to further pursue his acting career. Since the move, he has appeared in many TV shows (CSI, CSI: Miami, Dawson’s Creek, The Bold and The Beautiful), independent films, commercials, and several plays from LA to Scotland and in between. David continues to keep his skills sharp working on writing and acting projects ranging from shorts with friends to working with the likes of Lance Henriksen, Daryl Hannah, and most recently, John Rhys- Davies.

  • ''What Lips These Lips Have Kissed'': Refiguring the Politics of Queer Public Kissing
    Communication and Critical/Cultural Studies Vol. 3, No. 1, March 2006, pp. 1Á/26 ‘‘What Lips These Lips Have Kissed’’: Refiguring the Politics of Queer Public Kissing Charles E. Morris III & John M. Sloop In this essay, we argue that man-on-man kissing, and its representations, have been insufficiently mobilized within apolitical, incremental, and assimilationist pro-gay logics of visibility. In response, we call for a perspective that understands man-on-man kissing as a political imperative and kairotic. After a critical analysis of man-on-man kissing’s relation to such politics, we discuss how it can be utilized as a juggernaut in a broader project of queer world making, and investigate ideological, political, and economic barriers to the creation of this queer kissing ‘‘visual mass.’’ We conclude with relevant implications regarding same-sex kissing and the politics of visible pleasure. Keywords: Same-Sex Kissing; Queer Politics; Public Sex; Gay Representation In general, one may pronounce kissing dangerous. A spark of fire has often been struck out of the collision of lips that has blown up the whole magazine of 1 virtue.*/Anonymous, 1803 Kissing, in certain figurations, has lost none of its hot promise since our epigraph was penned two centuries ago. Its ongoing transformative combustion may be witnessed in two extraordinarily divergent perspectives on its cultural representation and political implications. In 2001, queer filmmaker Bruce LaBruce offered in Toronto’s Eye Weekly a noteworthy rave of the sophomoric buddy film Dude, Where’s My Car? One scene in particular inspired LaBruce, in which we find our stoned protagonists Jesse (Ashton Kutcher) and Chester (Seann William Scott) idling at a stoplight next to superhunk Fabio and his equally alluring female passenger.
