Brad Mercer is one of the most widely known and talented entertainers known to our Coachella Valley. In his lifetime, Brad has shared the comedy stage with the likes of Jay Leno and Jerry Seinfeld. He has played music for decades in front of hundreds of thousands of fans. He has been a beloved radio personality throughout the country, and has done more to support independent artists than any other DJ in the Coachella Valley. He has received lifetime achievement awards in both comedy and music and now he is setting his sights on yet another winning adventure, and he wants to share it with you.
Brad has a new project: Sushi Anyone, a dark comedic thriller about a guy named Otto who loves sushi to a fault. It is Otto’s insane obsession that becomes the driving force of a very scary turn of events all of which are captured in the creative screen play written by Brad Mercer himself. Mercer has acted, written and produced before in his spoof on CSI entitled “CSI Alm Prings” but he wants to take it from no budget to low budget and he can’t do it alone. Production is estimated at $6,500 of which over $2,200 has already been raised. Every contributor will be credited as an executive producer sharing in the opportunity to win awards at small film festivals. This production will highlight local talent. Rumor has it, gorgeous red head and rock vocalist Kymm Galvan along with local news anchor Patrick Evans have already been cast for lead roles, and there just may be a part in it for you.
Is Brad Mercer nuts for trying to do a project like this? Probably. But just remember: That’s what everybody told the millionaire that created the pool noodle. Sometimes the only way to make your own dreams come true is to support others in theirs.
