NEPA natives hope to ‘Cruise’ to big screen

Tim Gavern left Scranton for the West Coast nearly 20 years ago. But he’s only now venturing into the film industry. Tim, an East Mountain native and 1979 Scranton Central High School graduate, is hard at work on his first feature film, “Cruise Night,” which he’s co-producing with his cousin, Clarks Summit resident Philip Gavern.

Described by Tim as a 1970s version of “American Graffiti,” “Cruise Night” revolves around a car-savvy Southern California teen who uses a cruise night as a diversion to take on his rival in an illegal street race. Along the way, he endures a series of challenges and setbacks as he gets his car ready for the big race.

Now three years into the project, Tim, who has worked as an editor, graphic designer and photographer for more than 50 car and truck magazines since moving to Los Angeles in 1989, recently shot a big-budget trailer to drum up interest for the film, which he hopes to begin shooting in early 2010. The trailer, which can be viewed at the project’s Web site, www.cruisenight.com, features a souped-up Camaro Tim built in less than a month from an empty shell.

“The trailer was shot in two days and nights around Los Angeles,” Tim said. “The final cost of producing the trailer was a little over $900 per second, but it has opened many doors for us.”

Throughout the next year, Tim and Philip will be buying and building period-correct vehicles, including street machines, custom vans, choppers and Sting-Ray bicycles. And, for marketing purposes, they’ll be pursuing partnerships with performance automotive companies and showing off the movie’s cars at the 2009 Specialty Equipment Marketing Association show in Las Vegas.

If all goes to plan, they’ll have a finished film by Christmas 2010.

Veteran Producer Signs on to Cruise Night Crew!

Jasper Jan may be young to be a feature-film producer (he's 32), but his fifteen years of experience in the film industry make him an outstanding asset to Cruise Night. The man knows everyone. Jan has worked mainly as a producer, but has also written and directed films, so he understands what it takes to make a feature film from every perspective.

Cruise Night Director, Tim Gavern, says, "To put together a cast of young people, you need a young producer who has worked with young actors lately. Jasper, who currently has four films in post-production, has an exceptional amount of experience working with today's young actors, who are the superstars of tomorrow. I'm thrilled to have him in the producer role. I already feel like ten tons of weight have been lifted from my shoulders."
