Adam Green - producer - co-director
Adam Green grew up and still resides in Whitehorse, Yukon Territory, Canada. His coordination of The Elvis Project is a culmination of his many talents. As an artist, musician, and owner of a graphic design and silk-screening business, Adam easily transferred his many skills to the production of The Elvis Project – his first film project. He also picked up a video camera on the Elvis tour and dedicated many hours in post-production to the editing of the Project.
A student of art some years ago at the Victoria College of Art in British Columbia, Adam continues to excel at creative endeavours. Adam’s easy-going attitude has, in the past, enabled him to effectively teach several students the art of mural painting on walls of businesses around Whitehorse. With a steady hand on the steering wheel, Mr. Green managed a wide range of tasks and brought together a varied group of individuals to complete The Elvis Project.
When he is not busy with creative work, Adam enjoys eating moose meat, playing ice hockey, and spending time with his two young children, Keddy and Nolan.
Bill Kendrick - co-director
Bill Kendrick spent his early years in Windsor, Ontario, Canada, before completing a university degree in Montreal and heading up to live in Canada’s Yukon Territory. The Elvis Project is Mr. Kendrick’s first serious foray into movie making, contributing his writing, camera, and editing talents to the project.
In the North, Bill has worked in a variety of settings, including construction, solar energy, and education, as well as generally earning his “Wild Bill” reputation. As a dedicated photographer in high school, the theft of his photos in Central America turned him off the photographic arts – that is, until recently – and in many ways The Elvis Project has been the catalyst for his renewed interest in visual mediums.
Bill is very much still part of the Yukon experience, and can typically be found laughing and telling stories in Dawson City or Whitehorse.
Elvis Presley - featured personality
Elvis A. Presley, of the Yukon Territory, is truly the documentary subject of The Elvis Project. Born Gilbert Nelles to become Elvis A. Presley, Elvis’ life-changing UFO experiences have affected him profoundly. A songwriter, artist and a creator of Yukon promotional items, Elvis has both played with Chubby Checker in Las Vegas and built his own cabin in the woods in Tagish, Yukon.
Elvis has released two albums lately, Elvis Presley Still Living (1996) and Elvis Presley Armageddon Angel (2003).He currently lives in Ross River, Yukon with his partner Jesse.
Elvis also won a pink Cadillac while in Las Vegas.
Charlie Rose - heartbeat of the Armageddon Angels
Charlie Rose is the drummer for the Armageddon Angels, Elvis’ touring band, and is featured throughout The Elvis Project. As the dynamic pulse of the Armageddon Angels, Charlie went on the timeless tour through the Yukon Territory and did his best to bring the King into the building on time.
Mr. Rose feels that the northern quadrant is a fine place to learn, grow, and experiment with ideas. According to Charlie, “the buffalo came on a rock. It sat flat on the granite griddle while the gods of sun and rock incubated a drumming machine.” Charlie Rose then walked away from the rock with the feeling of “boogie woogie” and all that shakes. Since then his life has been swept away with a flurry of bands and shameful road-trips.
Charlie is now in the process of patenting a drum-set that previously lived in the depths of his mind and now sits proudly in his grandmother’s living room.
