HELP US SAY NO TO RICK SNYDER
by Brad Leo Lyon
    Rick Snyder wants to end the Michigan Film Tax Incentive,
    and put all the thousands of Michigan residents it employees
    out of work. Obviously, he doesn't care who his policies
    would hurt.

    We here at Lyon Productions are not willing to just sit around
    and do nothing about it. As such, we are going to produce a
commercial featuring many of the people who would loose their jobs if he becomes
Governor. Now the election is in weeks which means we need YOUR HELP to make
this happen. I will personally fund $1,000.00 of this production. We need your help to
fund this project. So please click on the below link and pitch in to make this
commercial happen. If the donations surpass the $1,000.00 I'll match what everyone
brings to the table. (Well, to a limit, I'm not rich after all, until you guys buy more of
my movies!) Every dollar helps so please send in anything you can!

LYON PRODUCTIONS ANNOUNCES LITTLE CREEPS
by Brad Leo Lyon
On the slate for this March is Lyon Productions' next feature
length film Little Creeps. Set to begin principal photography,
Little Creeps is a Comedy Horror movie with a loaded cast
including Lee Arenberg (Pirates of the Caribbean
1,2,3/Waterworld/Dungeons & Dragons), Robert Z'Dar
(Maniac Cop 1,2,3/Mobsters/Tango & Cash), Dustin Diamond
(Screech from Saved By the Bell), and Jake the Snake
Roberts (Wrestling Legend).

Just because something is a myth doesn't make it fiction.
That's a philosophy that Professor Vern Drake (Arenberg)
believes when it comes to the Demonicron, a book said to
open the gates of hell. After locating the book, he decides
to conjure the demons the book contains to do his bidding
and get revenge on those who ridiculed him.
However, when he only manages to translate half the words required to summon
them, he only gets half size demons. Now the demons are anxious to prove that
though they are half the size, they are double the trouble!

At the helm is Brad Leo Lyon who will be directing his first horror genre  film since
Beach Vacancy which is scheduled for a DVD release this March.
