The dramatic conclusion! Thanks for watching!
Sarah Bleakley, the producer of The Eyes of St. Anthony also worked with Paul Devlin on the rockumentary, CutTime – a nostalgic look at the exciting independent music scene in New York City in the early ‘90s. That’s our next web series, so stay tuned!
What’s up with Tony? Do the glasses have something to do with his freakout or is he just upset with Corrin? Kevin decides to confront Shah.
During his audition for the role of Shah in The Eyes of St. Anthony, Ronald Ballard was asked to play one side of an improv with a young actor who was auditioning for the part of Tony. They were given opposing objectives. The young actor was told his girlfriend was being brainwashed by this guru and he needed to save her. Ronald was told that one of his followers was suffering an abusive relationship with her boyfriend. The young actor made a valiant effort to engage the guru, but Ronald remained utterly silent during the entire audition. Then he looked at the young man, slapped him in the face, and said sternly, “Wake up!” Everyone in the room was stunned, especially the other actor who tried to regain composure and continue the scene. But Ronald went back to complete silence.
Needless to say, he got the part.
Tony escapes his mom, only to run into trouble with Corrin. What did she see in the glasses?
Jim Denault was the gaffer on The Eyes of St. Anthony. Jim went on to have a very successful career as a cinematographer, with credits that include, Nadja, Boys Don’t Cry, and Maria Full of Grace.
How fantastic to be able to find anything! Who wouldn’t want a pair of those glasses? But the temptation to find lost youth can be bittersweet.
A few friends of the director, Paul Devlin, made the music for The Eyes of St. Anthony. Rob Wagner and Billy Donohue of The Blasés composed and performed the jaunty guitar and piano music associated with Tony including the poignant piece during the attic scene. John Kayne, guitar player for The Loaded Poets, composed and performed the eerily, etheral music associated with Shah and the glasses. And Tony’s mother’s house was actually the home of Jim Wood, also of Loaded Poets and star of Paul Devlin’s upcoming movie The Front Man.

The ring is lost, but Tony pops the question to Corrin anyway… sort of. Now he feels more lost than ever. Maybe Shah’s glasses are the answer after all.
Rebecca Kyler Downs who plays Corrin in The Eyes of St. Anthony is also a talented singer.
Something is definitely up with those glasses and Tony is intrigued, but is he willing to be a guinea pig? And what happened to the engagement ring?
Ronald Ballard, who plays Shah in The Eyes of St. Anthony was a venerable Beat Generation stage actor in New York City. He was also a Korean War veteran who was suffering from painful tumors on his spine that made it difficult for him to walk. Shah turned out to be the ideal role for him because he could sit during the entire shoot.
