   - Chris Deaux's documentary "The Last Western," about Pioneertown, Calif., plays Saturday at 2:30 p.m. at International House (3701 Chestnut). "The Last Western" tells the story of a town that was built to serve as a lot for shooting westerns and that's still standing.
   
   It chronicles the bygone era of the B-western and Pioneertown's citizens who celebrate its history.
   
   Deaux, a graduate of Plymouth Whitemarsh High and Temple, also directed "Talk Fast," a festival hit in 2001, and worked for Banyan Productions.

   (Los Angeles - June 14, 2003) Talk Fast, a feature-length documentary by Philadelphia filmmakers Chris Deaux and Chris Emmanouilides, will be featured on an upcoming episode of Oprah!
   ...
   Chris Deaux, the film's Director, will be featured on the program along with several subjects from the documentary.
   
   Talk Fast chronicles the lives of five screenwriters - a puppeteer, a cult film star, a fallen starlet, a former stockbroker and a new mother - all struggling to make it in Hollywood. The film captures a week in each of their lives as they scramble to prepare for "Pitch Mart," a bi-yearly event that gives many first time screenwriters a rare opportunity to sit down with major studio executives and deliver their best "two minute pitch."
   
   "We find some very dark irony in the fact that two guys who set out to make a documentary about trying to get your film sold have spent the last several years of their lives trying to get their film sold," quips Deaux.
   ...
   Chris Deaux, of DeauxBoy Productions, is the director, editor and co-producer of Talk Fast. He first heard about Pitchmart several years ago on a radio news segment. "The first thing that went through my mind," says Deaux, "was the opening scene from the movie The Player with all these film makers frantically trying to pitch their movies in just a couple of short sentences. I thought it would be fascinating to see if that was the way it happens in real life. And, it turns out that it's not too far from the truth."
   
   A year later Deaux pitched co-worker and collaborator Chris Emmanouilides - they are both employees of Philadelphia's Banyan Productions (Trading Spaces, A Wedding Story, A Dating Story, A Makeover Story) to help develop the idea, co-produce it and serve as the director of photography.
   ...
   Deaux and Emmanouilides spent nine days in Los Angeles following Pitchmart founder Ken Rotcop, an award-winning writer and former studio executive, and members of his screenwriting workshops.
   ...
   "The people we met had these unbelievable stories about trying to make it in Hollywood" says Deaux.
   ...
   "We feel very close to all of our subjects mainly because we share passions, dreams and frustrations that are very similar to their own" adds Deaux.
   
   Chris Deaux founded DeauxBoy Productions (www.deauxboy.com) in May of 1998 with the goal of creating reality-based television programming and documentary films. In addition to Talk Fast, the company produced a television pilot, Love at First Sight? and is currently in pre-production on a new documentary. In addition to running DeauxBoy Productions, Deaux has worked for Banyan Productions for over six years and currently serves as the company's West Coast Director of Development helping to create, produce and package new television programming. During his tenure with Banyan Productions Deaux has also served as Executive Producer of The Learning Channel's popular series A Wedding Story, Executive Produced a series for Lifetime Television titled The Things We Do For Love and Produced and Directed Atlantic City Casino, a prime-time Discovery Channel documentary.

   (Los Angeles - January 2, 2003) Talk Fast, a feature-length documentary by Philadelphia filmmakers Chris Deaux and Chris Emmanouilides screened as part of the First Glance Film Festival on Friday November 8th, 2002 at Raleigh Studios in Hollywood and was awarded second place in the documentary category.
   ...
   "The film is very timely for a number of reasons, one of which is the public's seemingly endless fascination with show business, as evidenced by television shows like HBO's Project Green Light or Bravo's The It Factor," concurs Deaux.

   "I have to admit that I do find great irony in the idea of two struggling, independent film makers making a movie about a group of struggling, independent screenwriters with a soundtrack by struggling, independent musicians," quips Deaux.
