Momentum

Posted on August 19, 2011

After the pains of the page comes the thrill of the hunt. No screenplay is truly ready until production starts, and even then, maybe not so much. As of now though, I feel we have something substantial enough to at least put on the table for talent, producers and management. One thing that I can not be faulted for is being closed minded. I am ready to work and make changes to make this the best property. At least now, I feel the project is at a place where I can open up this dialogue. Took a while to get to this point, but I am here.

The roads are open, we are just doing our best to make sure we are gased up and ready for the journey. I am on a mission to sell the vision for Mamma and I want to make sure that I have a strong product to offer. I spoke with someone a while back who saw the short film. This person, a very reputable person in the film business, said the key element that drew him into the film was the cast. He viewed it as one of my greastest strengths as a director. I want to achieve this with the feature project. I am looking to assemble a cast of strong Italian-American actors from the Independent Film Community, that will allow me to create a vast pallette of faces and personalites that will all coexist as a tight storytelling unit. I am looking for strong veteran presence to anchor the cast in key roles, while adding the energy of some of the wonderful actors that I have been so blessed to work with up to this point. We have begun reaching out to talent and we are hoping for more pieces to fall into place. One piece already has, and though not much can be said, we are thrilled.

Hopefully we can assemble a strong package over the next few months to put in front of the great contacts we have made at reputable production companies who are expecting the project.

Hugs and Kisses,
