LOS ANGELES, CA, October 30, 2008
/24-7PressRelease/ -- It's a long way from Yale drama school for Victor Bevine, but he, along with David Richard Thompson, business partners and co-owners of Ruff Magic Entertainment, will unveil a new extreme action sports multi-media project in the first part of 2009. Bevine (an alumnus of Yale) and Thompson are in the final stages of bringing a brand new extreme sport, which has until this time been relegated to exposure on Youtube and the internet, to the American and International stages. "This has been a dream in the making for us for the last four years," says Bevine. "We have been working hard and now we have a launch date and the rocket is ready to blast off!"
What's the sport, we ask? Why so cryptic? Thompson tells us why. "Well, yes we're being a bit discrete until we have our international launch in '09, but I can assure you that this is a huge sports movement and people know what it is. When I ask any male between the ages of 10 and 30, they know exactly what this sport is." Bevine ads, "They've not only seen it on YouTube, on t.v., and in the movies, but lots of them are already participants in the sport. We have been around the world signing on the top athletes, from the UK to Sweden, Latvia to the U.S., New Zealand to...well the list goes on. Our top athlete has over 30 million hits on YouTube for his videos, so the buzz is there! I'm just asking everyone to be patient a little while longer."
Thompson spent much of his childhood growing up with his American family in Morocco and the Middle East and also lived in Paris, France as an adult. However, he also has lived in the United States in Virginia, Ohio, Georgia, New York and California. So you can see that the idea of helping to grow a sport that has its roots overseas in Europe, but is gaining a huge popularity among the new extreme action sports generation in the United States, puts a big smile on his face. "This is an extreme sports movement that is already bridging cultures from around the world. And in the last few years, it has started to expand into the American sports mainstream, so what could be better."
Victor Bevine and David Richard Thompson formed Ruff Magic Entertainment in 2007, as a natural progression of their careers in television and film, both in front of and behind the camera. . Bevine has had an illustrious television career as an actor and his script "Certainty" has won several screenwriting honors and is currently in development as a major motion picture, which he is set to direct. Thompson has a very diverse professional background having worked with world class fashion and celebrity photographers such as Herb Ritts and Mario Testino, as well as having a varied music and acting career (he played "Roz's" boyfriend "Leon" on the popular sitcom "Frasier".) He was also the VP of T.V. and film development/acquisitions for Willis International, and for the past seven years has served as an independent T.V. development consultant. Ruff Magic Entertainment was formed, by Thompson and Bevine, to support their desire to create their own brand of sports television, reality television, scripted television and film, documentary film, and music. They have partnered before to create the documentary film "Starfish" which won as Best Documentary in the Elevate Films International Film Festival in Los Angeles in 2005. They have also served as mentors and consultants with numerous non-profits helping "at risk" youth through filmmaking and writing. Besides their 2009 multi-media sports project, they have several other television projects in development which they expect to bring about in the next year.
