THE END OF THE RUN
a feature film written and directed by Ray Crew
An Affiliate Group of Possum Point Players
The stage and the screen have always been closely related. In the earliest days of moving pictures, films weren’t much more than static, two dimensional stages themselves until artists discovered that with cuts, dissolves, closeups and fades the movies could be so much more. As the years passed the theatrical arts and the cinematic arts contributed to each other and inspired each other. The purpose of Possum Pictures is to bring that mutual contribution and inspiration to Possum Point Players.
Possum Pictures will produce one full length feature film a year, premiere it theatrically and distribute it through film festivals and streaming services, creating exposure to new local and nationwide audiences. Short films and promotional films that support Possum Point Players stage productions will also be created. These projects will take original ideas from script to screen, developing disciplines including screenwriting, directing, acting for film, cinematography, editing, sound design and production management.
Possum Pictures will provide a wide range of new opportunities for the Possum Point Players artistic community. The feature film, End of the Run which premiered in June 2024, is a creation of that community and serves as proof of concept. It is our hope that Possum Pictures will contribute to and inspire Possum Point Players and demonstrate that community theater can happen on screens as well as stages.
Possum Pictures Presents...
The End of the Run is a full-length feature film created from script to screen by the Possum Point Players community. Described by writer/director Ray Crew as “a love story, a mob tale, and a morality play,” the film tells the story of a would-be actor, Billy, the middle brother in a mob family who has failed at everything in life and has been reduced to appearing in a cheesy murder mystery dinner theater to help his older brother steal money. When Billy is at his lowest, he’s visited by Angela, a long-lost love he hasn’t seen in a decade. She says she wants to save him but she’s concealing secrets that will change Billy… and the world forever.
"The End of the Run is a morality tale filled with intrigue and charm..."

Synopsis
You may think you know Sherlock Holmes. Chances are, you have heard many stories of his exploits. But there is one story you do not know…one case his associate John Watson did not turn into a sensational tabloid tale. Because some tales are too personal for that. In 1899 the famous consulting detective is newly and happily retired until a mysterious visitor steps out of the pages of American history to ensnare him in a conspiracy that began with the assassination of Abraham Lincoln and threatens both the Crown and civilization. In the process he and Watson will have to face their own demons…addiction, guilt, shame, lost love and loneliness as they are drawn deeper into an abyss from which they and the world may never return.
