Karan Ashley & Johnny Yong Bosch in "Devon's Ghost" (2005)

"Devon's Ghost: Legend of the Bloody Boy" is an interesting film, given the PR connections. It's co-written by Karan Ashley (Aisha, MMPR) and co-directed by Johnny Yong Bosch (Adam, MMPR-Turbo) and PR exec Koichi Sakamoto. Ashley portrays Symphony, a high school student still haunted by the disappearance of her father and his connection to the murder of an abused classmate 10 years before. Her mental state isn't helped by the legend that has grown up around the boy whose body was never found. When Devon returns and begins killing randomly, Symphony is right back in the middle, hunting for answers and fighting for her life. Bosch stars alongside his MMPR co-star in the role of Josh, Symphony's best friend since childhood who also witnessed the unbalanced state of young Devon. Josh comes to Symphony's rescue when she needs him most and helps her to fend off the "bloody boy." The two PR alums appear throughout the film and have some pretty good fight scenes.
