In case you have been trying to contact Dan Fiebiger, his latest e-mail address is fiebiger5@gmail.com, effective on Jan 1, 2009 - on. After 25 years, he's recently released his soundtrack album for THE COURIER OF DEATH, available via CD Baby. A DVD edition of the film is still pending, with no firm release date yet set.
COURIER D.P. Jon Schmeer and Shaw Associate Jim Lowry recently completed a comedic short film, MAKE THE PIE HIGHER, available on U-Tube.
Oscar-winning actor Andrien Brody is currently making a similar film, also called THE COURIER, with a semi-similar story and publicity art. No release date has been set yet.
The Joey Johnson who is a songwriter linked to this COURIER OF DEATH entry is not the same Joey Johnson who stars in the COURIER. Nor is he the same Joey Johnson who has starred in subsequent films as listed in the IMDb. The star of the 1985 COURIER OF DEATH film didn't appear in any more feature films and now works for the State of Oregon in the state capital of Salem.
Likewise for Ron Schmidt. There's are several Ron Schmidt's working in the film industry. The Ron Schmidt who was the defacto co-director of COURIER OF DEATH in 1984-5 continued working in the inde film industry for several years, but was mainly associated with feature film work by Jim Lowry, Steve Lustgarten, and/or some films of Phil Roth (who later directed many films seen on the Sci-Fi cable TV channel), Look for those associated names when compiling a more accurate filmography of that particular Ron Schmidt.
Schmidt retired from the film industry several years ago. He and his wife Wendy (who also worked on COURIER OF DEATH) currently own and run two gift shops (one is also a comic book store) in Florence and Reedsport along the Southern Oregon coast.
Dan Fiebiger and Jon Schmeer are organizing a reunion of anyone who worked on the 1984- 5 COURIER film in Portland to happen on November 7, 2009. Please contact Dan at fiebiger5@gmail.com if you'd like to attend, or communicate with other COURIER personnel.
