Sam Cable and Chuck Walker began Walker Cable Productions as a moderate budget feature film company, soon going public under the name MSH Entertainment Corporation in the late nineties. The new entity expanded to include music and television. They produced VANPIRES, a live-action/animated action-adventure series which quickly became the number one syndicated children's show on television. Their company also produced the last album by the legendary John Entwistle and “The Who” as well as other headliners such as Sheena Easton and T.G. Shepherd.
The duo has now redirected its interests to motion pictures, having produced a slate of westerns released by Lionsgate including THE MAN WHO CAME BACK in which they partnered with developer Stephen Bowen and soap icon Eric Braeden who portrays the infamous Victor Newman on THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS. The movie starred Braeden as well as Academy Award Winner, George Kennedy, Emmy Award Winner Armand Assante, Billy Zane, Sean Young and super model Carol Alt. The movie was the number one non-theatrical release in America for its first six weeks. And it stayed in the top ten against all movies, including big cinematic releases, for two weeks…an unusual feat in Hollywood for independent features.
More recently in 2018 the company has focused creating content to be viewed as episodic television initially for the burgeoning OTT Market, most recently producing four episodes of the proposed series INVADED…the story of five teenagers trying to survive after a cataclysmic event in the modern day. Also on tap is a series entitled LONGHORNS AND SIXGUNS, a presentation of classic western movies with a series host who offers bits of information about the films, their stars and the circumstances of their production. The pilot episode has been shot.
Additionally Walker Cable will be providing some production services to the Ronnie King Group for its forthcoming show RONNIE’S ROOM (see News and Updates link above).
Subsequently they have produced a number of direct to video films including A LITTLE CHRISTMAS BUSINESS and RETURN TO VENGEANCE, both with Lorenzo Lamas and Daniel Baldwin. Their film BACKSTABBER won a Platinum Remi Award at the Worldfest Film Market in the thriller/horror category. And in December of 2017 they released BORDER CROSS featuring Danny Trejo. The film is now on virtually all platforms including Walmart, Red Box, Amazon, Hulu, Best Buy, Target, Barnes and Noble, I-Tunes, and a deal has been reached with Netflix.
Walker Cable is currently in final post production with the faith/family film EMAILS FROM HEAVEN and expects to see a release by the third quarter of 2019.
