MERCY MALICK |
- CHARACTER: CPT. RACINE |
|

 Mercy’s film and t.v. roles to date have spanned the gamut from cop (“Officer Ruthie Wilson” on Michael Mann’s “Robbery Homicide”), to faux-porn star (“Autumn Lane” in the forthcoming PG13 mockumentary “The Love Shack”). As “Capt. Racine” she was also able to use her extensive athletic background, which includes former titles in the Ms. Fitness USA system. Mercy has contributed tracks to a Norah Jones compilation, and even toured with Hilary Duff. And she recently added the role of screenwriter to her cv: Mercy’s first produced feature script is currently in post-production. Titled “Tales From The Catholic Church Of Elvis”, it is a screen adaptation of her highly successful stage play of the same name, which chronicles the insanity of growing up in a Catholic school in Las Vegas. Mercy currently resides in Los Angeles. |

 From gaffer to extra to director to first AD to writer to actor; we are all here to tell the story as truthfully as we can. Everyone on Trenches put their balls on the line with the single minded purpose to tell the truth, though we did manage to have a few beers too. I loved being Traina, he is an awesome guy to hang with, crazy but a pussycat at heart. Thank you cast for being so freaking awesome, thank you Shane, Scott Carter, Dylan, Wardrobe & Special Effects, Gram, Studio 9 and everyone else I did not get to insult.

Through the heat, the freezing cold and rain we fought side by side, a brotherhood in the trenches.
And after the blood, the tears, and the smoke had faded, after the battle was over, we stood together, side by side, and basked in the achievement of a battle won. We couldn't have done it without you!!
DIRECTOR - SHANE FELUX
"Knowing the fear that stands unspoken in each heart,
not of death, but worse, of faltering or failing, of somehow proving unworthy of this, the ultimate hour."
