A Brief Introduction to this Page's Purpose

Not Another Dime! is dedicated to documenting the assorted, and sometimes wild, details of Mr. Ken Whitman's business dealings within the Role Playing Game (RPG) industry. This place is NOT intended to be a medium of discussion about Mr. Whitman, pro or con, but instead be a "jumping off" point to enable the reader to make their own informed decision about Mr. Whitman's history and business character. (Editor's Note: After years of this documentation, we simply cannot be anything BUT "con" when it comes to Mr. Whitman)

Whenever possible, links to the original source material will be provided, but in many cases that information may have been deleted or secured behind restricted-access (like a private Facebook page) accounts.

Anything posted here is the opinion of the retrospective author and any content shown is to be considered "fair use" and posted for educational purposes only.

Note to authors: Please begin each post with the original date of the event being documented in the format of YYYY.MM.DD (i.e. If the event being recorded happened on March 15th, 2015 and today's date was August 8th, 2018 the beginning of the post's title would be 2015.03.15 and not 2018.08.08) so readers can use the Chronology page to find specific information. Please use appropriate tags when possible for the same reason.

Note to contributors: If you have some valid data to send, screenshots, links to other Ken Whitman stories, etc., please feel free to send a gmail to notanotherdimeblog. We'll look into it and post if appropriate.

2024.11.19 Checking in on Ken "Whit" Whitman's 1st Movie Premiere

2024.11.19 Checking in on Ken "Whit" Whitman's 1st Movie Premiere
It looks like Kenny FINALLY managed to get one of his films finished as Home Less for the Holidays had a premiere last week in New Albany, Indiana.

I know, starting a film and actually finishing it, in a year no less?!!!

Shocking.

While looking for some word about the premiere...the best we could find is one attendee/cast member posting some pictures. Not one pic of our main man, which is odd if he was the Director & Writer....

...also odd that, aside from trying to sell tickets to the premiere and an after-party (Hey, we've seen that before, and you can see where we got the idea for our name!) there is no mention of this movie on the Little Monster Entertainment website. 2024.11.27 Edit There is, just the page is only linked from a single spot elsewhere.

What we did stumble upon, and made us laugh, is this article from January that had some choice words from our main man (and our commentary):

"Like any production, I am making a hundred decisions an hour....." Ninety-nine of those decisions are how I'm going to make a buck off of this...

"We are on schedule and that is what you want to hear about halfway through filming a movie. On an independent film, you do not have the pleasure of a large budget 30 day production." On schedule? He's running what...a decade or so behind on some of his other films. Pretty sure this is the first one to actually see the light of day.

"We do education equity, we are running a school where a film happens to be made. The students do classes in the mornings, we want to get everyone up to par so when you see them on camera you are like oh, those are real actors. We are like an acting school on speed." So the students are the product being generated, not the movies. He's creating "real actors"? Ken "Whit" Whitman being on speed would explain a lot....Freudian slip?

"Being the writer I always try to make sure an instructor is in the scene with the new actors...I used to play college football..." Had absolutely nothing to do with the interview/task on hand.

Later in the article Actor Al Snow states, "Kentucky Joe suffers from CTE and a little bit of dementia." Hmmmm, our boy wrote that and dipping back into the CTE seems to reiterate that Kenny thinks he has this degenerative brain disorder.

Of course the article ends mentioning that Little Monster Entertainment has "several upcoming actor retreats".
