Welcome to the Movies and TV forum. I’m Jeff Parisse, co-founder and director of kVA Effects. My firm provides electrical special effects and stunts for TV, film and theater. This forum is for you to discuss Nikola Tesla, the man or his work as featured in public entertainment. I will do my best to answers questions on films, plays, music, CGI or performance art that highlight Nikola Tesla and can also share my experiences as a special effects director. Check this forum regularly for announcements of shows or performances featuring Nikola Tesla and if you know of an upcoming movie, TV show or play, please let us know.

Thanks and Enjoy!

Hi Jeff!

Here's a short film I'd never before encountered

TESLA AND THE BELLBOY
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdD3MRvBvc4

Freaking hilarious, especially if you know about Tesla's hotel money troubles, and the frightening "death ray" polished wooden case which turned out to be an old Wheatstone Bridge.

Did anyone see this one?

It is in several parts.  The actor looks almost exactly like him.

Wow... what a find! I haven't seen that one. And, yes, that guy is a dead ringer (that is a really bad pun - sorry) for Tesla.

I love that movie.  After I saw it on Youtube, I looked it up and bought the DVD where you can really see details.  It is the best movie about Tesla I have seen so far.
