Misc.

Producer, Rose Ganguzza read the script and loved it-  she compared it to  "Crash" ( Gross revenue $55.4 M- USA~ 3 Oscars), but with an unexpected type of ending like " "The Sixth Sense"($662M Worldwide~ nominated for 6 Oscars)

Others loved the script and categorized it along "Little Children".

The script takes you on a ride of "assumption" which in the ends turns out to be quite different from what many assume when reading , yet still very sad. It's worded to reveal very little visually making the mind  fill in the blanks from what they feel, think, and hear; which is what makes it dark~ just like Alfred Hitchcock did in his films~ Some of my favorite quotes from this brilliant man are:"  Always make the audience suffer as much as possible"  and  "There is no terror in the bang, only in the anticipation of it".

This film will not be a gory or pornographic flick, but it will be rated R for content.

* Slamdance reviewed it as an unusual tragic story that can be successfully marketed.

* CENTURY 21 Screenplay reviewer

"This story has some good elements of misunderstanding which cause a lot of violence and heartache. The topic is a good one which is always relevant in today's society"

* Blue Cat Screenplay reviewer

"I liked a lot of things about this script. You have a great sense of structure and have created a free flowing, page turner of a script. The story moves forward at a great pace. There were moments I laughed and moments I literally squirmed.  It really hit a lot of great notes You used mis-direction well throughout. The opening scenes I thought I was in store for another "Graduate" type of story. However, it turned out to be an effective way to introduce Ella without dwelling on her too much. The end was really great as I was thinking "Chad got what he deserved anyway and then was proven wrong!"

* Won The Golden Palm award for Best Script in the Beverly Hills Film Festiva

Like with everyone, people have projects with numbers on them, we're looking for a team that can collaborate with us to bring it forward sooner than later.

Our first feature film is currently in distribution.

Movie making was a rewarding experience, we finished it in the time schedule without overtime, under budget and with a very happy crew/cast. 

We're looking to attach Executive Producers/producers/musical artists/actors/directors  that can help us bring this emotional tale to screen.
