Feature Story / The
Co-founders of VRA TelePlay Pictures were named by
TeleKey to head the studio production for its
$100-million -- NBS100 Wireless Telephone feature
film.
Troy Cory and Josie Cory
have distinct styles. Both may have to learn on the
job.

•
To overcome their lack of
experience in completing a major studio film, the
Cory's are expected to rely heavily on a major
Hollywood Studio chief that has a ranking producer
ready to team up with the Cory's first major
feature film
effort.
•
•
"In addition to that," says
Pete Allman, of Celebrity Scene News, "not only
must Troy and Josie Cory court a Studio that's a
member of the "big six"-- like Warner Bros. Disney,
Paramount, NBC-Universal, Fox, or Sony, but a
director and lead actors that can fit into the 2008
marketing and promotional plans for a few of the
major Wireless Telephone™ companies."
•
•
2008, is the 100th year
celebration of the Wireless Telephone patent issued
in 1908, "and TeleKey's Video Record Albums of
America, along with their telephone company
sponsors will be celebrating the NBS invention."
Pete Allman networks his CSN news report through
Troy's exclusive VRA China Expo Internet
outlets.
•
•
Troy clashed with China's
VRA officials last year over the release date of
Allman's boxing news series, "Filipino Man" --
before CATV begrudgingly agreed with Troy's
decision to hold back the V-series until China was
ready for boxing. Allman said, however, "Troy
didn't make that decision hoping to see my CSN
Report
lose."
•
•
For her part, Josie is a
virtual unknown among mainstream Hollywood
filmmakers but, like Troy, is considered highly
competitive, having learned the film business as a
young Miss Executive at the feet of Summit Films
co-founder Martin Green, and Bavarian film and
music executives, Gabor Wagner, Franz Seelos and
Wm.
Janovsky.
•
•
Despite working a "lifetime"
with each other in the Arts and Sciences, Troy Cory
and Josie Cory only occasionally have crossed paths
in decision
making.
•
•
Now, they will be working
closely together, side by side, again runningVRA
TelePlay Pictures, the production company they both
co-founded in Hollywood, in 1974, and spun off to
TVI-TeleKey in
1987.
•
•
In what amounts to an
arranged marriage, the two were officially named to
produce the "Wireless Movie NBS100," bringing
together their Vine Street and Rosemont Studios,
and TVI Publishing they purchased in 1976 and 1987,
respectfully.
•
•
In particular, their long-time personal friends in
the movie business, lauded the Cory's decision to
take over the producer duties of the NBS project.
It's because of their knowledge of the Internet,
finance and the banking industry that'll make it
happen.
•
•
"At one time," said Troy, "I felt that I couldn't
afford to take the monetary risk Hollywood
requires. It was after I read that Warren Buffett
said he couldn't afford Hollywood . . . because
there's no money in the stuff," -- that I changed
my mind about this present Wireless Telephone™
movie."
•
•
"They'll attempt to climb up the value food chain,
and it's not very easy, in Hollywood" said Toni
Covington, a movie consultant company based in
Burbank, that is handling their Smart Daaf Boys
movie book deal. "They're not very good yet on
finding a plot to fit the story-line about his
inventor grandfather, -- but knowing Troy, it won't
take him long to get the hang of it. It totally
makes sense for them to enter the film business,
just for this one NBS100 movie project."
•
•
"I feel very confident that
they have complementary skills and they are not
going to clash with each other," said Bernie
Schwartz of VRA TelePlay Pictures. Josie played
matchmaker in naming VRA TelePlay Pictures
Studios to replace the German Production Group,
FFF Group of Bavaria, who at one time planned to
film "Wireless" -- in
Munich.
•
•
VRA TelePlay Pictures
becomes the latest independent studio to hand the
reins over to two executives, a sign that top film
jobs have grown increasingly taxing as companies
expand internationally, adapt to new digital
technologies and launch complex, big-budget
projects.
•
•
"There are really hard
decisions to make out there," Troy said. "What
movies to make first, 'his or mine?' How to make
them -- 'his way or our way, and at what price?"
Hollywood is still very challenging on how to
market and release them. When Kodak had a film
monopoly in Hollywood, "it was simple," says Josie.
When video moved in -- it became like the wild
west. While heading Vine Street Video Center, Troy
defined their game play as "a battle between the
cattlemen (film) and sheep herders, (video). Now
it's just about an all-digital movie-making
business, the herders finally won out, from studio
to silver screen
projection."
•
•
All of the Major "big six"
Studios, have some sort of shared management
arrangements with their off-shore
partners.
Universal and Paramount
Pictures are the only remaining studios that do not
directly distribute their movies overseas. They are
in the process of taking over specific countries
from their overseas partner, United International
Pictures, a British-based distribution company.
•
•
By striking out separately,
Paramount and Universal are in a better position to
squeeze more money out of the lucrative foreign
marketplace, which on average can account for more
than 60% of a film's overall
revenue.
Part
02 Since, 1987) --
Josie served as the Publisher/Editor of Television
International Magazine, tvimagazine.com and
tvinews.net, a Hollywood-Las Vegas-based syndicator
of media news events. MORE
STORY
•
•
After the purchase of the
magazine, founded
fifty years ago by Sam Donaldson and Al Preiss, she
has enjoyed virtual autonomy from VRA TelePlay
Pictures while at the same time helping shepherd
such acclaimed VRA music videos of Kenny G, James
Brown, and televsion shows produced in the People's
Republic of China, the "D-Diaries Series," and
"Hong Kong Triad." The hour long China programs
feature prominent political statements. Troy's
favorite episode features himself on stage with
Deng Xioping and Jiang Zemin in Shanghai and in
Beijing, during the early days of China's open door
policy.
•
•
Although both are
experienced at running and operating a television
studio, printing a magazine, and streaming video
over the Internet, neither has overseen the
development and production of a "big studio"
movie.
•
•Troy
and Josie like always, will quickly mesh their
different personalities and learning styles in
their new Hollywood movie project. While performing
not only as a VRA TelePlay Picture's TV-stage
performer in the Troy Cory Show releases, Troy, at
the same time oversaw the studio's worldwide video
marketing and distribution of its DVD and on-line
webcast
releases.
•
•
Troy will probably retain
control of the legal aspects and production of
"Wireless," while serving at the same time, as
VRA's main liaison with the "Main Stream Hollywood
Studio." Any one of the three major studios which
have shown interest as of date, will potentially
take over total control of the production and
world-wide distribution of the $100-million "NBS100
Wireless
Telephone."
•
•
Josie will keep overseeing
marketing and distribution and its TVI news
products, and also will take the lead in expanding
VRA TelePlay Pictures's role in the international
market concerning DVD and video distribution
sales.
•
•
The Cory's are viewed as
serious, brainy and somewhat conservative, "money
wise." They have been married for over 30 years
with adult children, neither is a fixture on the
entertainment party
circuit.
•
•
"I was valevictorian of my
high school, in Germany," said Josie, who grew up
and received her liberal arts eduction in Munich,
Germany, and in England. "I'm as liberal as they
come."
03.
Troy, a California
baby-boomer, has fully embraced the "no evil"
Signet Telekey.org corporate culture, when making a
combo business/concert tour to and from Las Vegas,
Europe and China.
•
•
The Cory's attempt to put an
arms length distance from their friendly business
associates in the Signet TeleKey banking business,
from those in their show biz activities, doesn't
always mix. Troy finds it a hard thing to do when
performing a romantic song with Josie in front of
10,000 people "mixed in with our associates at a
TV-stage show financed by Signet
TeleKey."
•
•
Josie, whose TVI-TeleKey
company is based in Las Vegas, Nevada, plans to
move sometime this fall back to Pasadena. She said
she was confident that she and Troy will be very
successful in their new role as executive producers
with a main-stream feature film
studio.
•
•
"It'll be great to have
somebody, who heads a major studio, to lob ideas
back and forth during the production of "Wireless
Telephone," Josie
said.
•
•
She already has been working
easily in a partnership with studio intermediary,
Melody Jensen of MJ Productions, Newport
Beach.
•
•
Unlike Josie, who
aggressively attempted to avoid the top job of
being part of the historical production at first,
finally said yes. Troy however, whose reputation
for being highly passionate when it comes to the
radio, eletromagnetic wave Smart-Daaf Boy
controversy, couldn't wait to be
asked.
•
•
"I am one of the
co-producers and I am thrilled to have been
appointed as such, but I'm more thrilled it's Troy
who heads the story-board. It was his grandfather
who invented the Wireless Telephone, and that's
what the movie is all about, high tech, Tesla, war,
corruption, sedition laws and secret keepers in the
early 1900s," Josie
said.
•
•
To overcome their lack of
experience developing a major studio film, the two
are expected to rely heavily on co-production heads
provided by the Studio. "After Wireless Telephone,"
said Josie, we'll probably be acting as the
executive producer for several more
productions.
•
•
In addition, they must court
and keep happy VRA TelePlay Picture's largest
distributor of its DVDs and CDs, Jeff Bezos, TVI's
Person of the Week, who co-founded
Amazon.com.
•
•
Troy used to occasionally
spat with VRA's distributors, like last year over
the release date of his "China Moon Ron Rice
Hawaiian Tropic Webcast," before Troy reluctantly
agreed to release the movie in early summer instead
of the fall. Amazon was right, the webcast was the
first webcast still seen 24 hours a day by VOD,
(video on demand) -- on Google, Yahoo! and
LookRadio.com.
•
•
He is passionately
competitive and he wants to win. And 80% of the
time, since I've started following the 20 years
worth of adventures with Troy and Josie, I've seen
"ourselves" win as long as "evil intentions" --
stay off the picture," Allman
said.
•
•
TVI and TeleKey officials
also hesitantly agreed to see the Cory's move in
1996 to work on the Las Vegas "China Expo" -
"Forbidden City" strip project. But just recently,
eyes brightened. Ten years later, the Jockey Club
multi-million dollar project finally turned into
gold. A religious group bought out their Jockey
Club Alliance development, for over a billion
dollars.
•
•
Allman credits and relates
Troy's success in his world of business and finance
-- to the ways he handles his Troy Cory Show
activities in China. The bizarre routes he takes in
handling ventures that sometimes go wild and
woolly, without explanation, is in direct response
to those working with him. Troy swears he picked up
the best of ethics from his legal mentor, Melvin
Belli, the co-author of their book, "The
Tortfeasors." The bottom line for Tort feasances
and the prevention of evil said Belli, "If you
treat us nice, we'll treat you nice, and now that
we're all friends, can't we get this worked
out?"
•
•
The John Carr films,
"Buster" and "Starmaker", filmed in Berlin and
Hollywood in the early 1970s, might have predicted
some of the exiting business adventures Troy has
gotten himself into. The films feature Wendel
Corey, Barbara Valentine and Troy, singing some of
his early recordings written with Josie and
Germany's, Ambros
Seelos.
•
•
Troy received plaudits for
overseeing and predicting the web-based marketing
of his last year's China concert experience, "China
Moon," and his live webcast, "First Webcast From
Harbin, China - 2000." Both television shows can be
seen on
LookRadio.com.
•
•
It's no secret around town,
that Troy is given credit for successfully tapping
into the power of Google and Yahoo! ability to
seek, find and telecast streaming video. Smart90,
LookRadio, dv90.com and various other divisions of
TVI-TeleKey have been using the Internet to promote
its movies since 1996. LookRadio streamed its first
live show in 1992 from the WNBS TV station in
Murray, Kentucky to Cory's Pasadena Rosemont
Studios.
•
•
Josie Cory, co-founder of
Vine Street Video Center, said, "Troy enlisted the
studio's sister DotCom network Smart90 and VRA
TelePlay in a DVD marketing Google KudoAd blitz.
The webpage side bar KudoAds exposed the Rod
Stewart Vine Street, and 'China, The Big Sleep'
TelePlay programs, to over 30-million viewers on a
daily basis." The DVD programs are now available
for royalty free teleplay webcasters on
Amazon.com.
•
•
"We were all over Smart90,
LookRadio, Google and that really helped," Josie
said.
•
•
To locate the film footage
of "Buster," and "Starmaker," produced and directed
by John Carr and John Harris for Hollywood
International Pictures, Josie called both
filmmakers, four times a day. The gritty film
dramas were directed by John Carr in 1970. "Buster"
was re-edited last year for DVD webcasting. "She is
not one of those 'I'll see you at the premiere'
types,' said Victor Caballero, now head of Video
Record Album Classics, Universal
City.
•
•
One of Josie's strongest
traits is her expertise in foreign film financing,
which is especially crucial for any major motion
picture company, wanting to set-up and finance its
overseas operations in China and
Germany.
•
•
She also will play an
important role with Troy in trying to keep in VRA
TelePlay Pictures music producers, Ambros Seelos
and Sylvester Levay, authors and arrangers of such
hit songs and the musical score for "Fly Robin Fly"
and Disney's, "Roger The
Rabbit."
•
•
Although both Josie and Troy
Cory-Stubblefield may be unproven with powerful
industry figures, they are popular with such
independent TV show filmmakers such as Germany's,
FFF of Bavaria, Sylvester Levay, Joseph Bamberger
(UFA), Wm Janovsky, ("Tibetan") and ARD's, Gabor
Wagner ("Christmas Around the World"), and China's
Beijing, Shanghai and Fuzhou national television
station, CCTV.
