Proojects

 

What a year it has been for everyone due to the Covid crisis.  We managed to get through it ok and started developing projectts while we were in Lockdown.  I finished my Book and 2021 it will be published on Book Baby and Amazon.  I wrote Angeles Destiny which is a 30 minute film we were suppose to start filming in October 2020 but due to cast issues I have put the project on hold and may film it in Italy .  We wrote and Filmed Destination Murder and I am currently editing the directors cut and the narration.  We wrote Valentina's Heaven and will film that summer 2021 in Albania.  

I Filmed 4 commercials in Italy For the Abruzzo region all to do with scams on peopple  it was interesting and worked with some good actors.   We finished Unlucky to Love You by Mauro John Capece an excellent experience as I played two characters  That will be out soon.  3 Films have been put on hold because of the covid crisis and hopefully they will resume.  

My academy in Albania and our online courses for actors have started and I am extremely happy with the resonse I have recieved from actors all over the world.  The Academy in Albania is ready to open and we have an association in Italy for actors and are considering opening another academy near Milan Italy.  Although I am a working actor and Director Iwill always continue to teach as it is a passion of mine to see how the actors develop.  

This year we have several projects From heading a school project in Chieti to filming 5 commercials.  I completed Anima Borboniche directed by the wonderful Paolo Consorti.  Filming many short films for the studio actors at FASA developing their show reels and their careers.  Will be filming in September a new film For Sale with Director Francesco Gabriele with an all English crew shooting in Abruzzo.  The cast will be fantastic with Italian Actor Nicolas Vaporidis. In November we will be filming a feature film around italy with Director Mauro John Capece.   We are looking at several projects and pending projects both American and Italian filming here but as usual we can't publish those details yet.  I am in the middle of writing my book for film actors which will be amazing once published one of my writer friends out of New York said it was breaking the code on how to precieve and approach film acting.  I agree, that's why I am writing it.   I must completely redue my resume and my show reel but have been so busy.

2017 Projects

Autumn 2017

I have finished a new film  entitled Humanism which was filmed here in Italy. We completed a short for my students Access Denied which was fun. I have finished packaging the film The Beautiful Boy so we are iin financial discussion at the moment.  This film is destined for the educational market worldwide.  A budget of 200,000 Euro to be filmed over 22 days. We are in development for a new Albanian Film Il Paradiso Nero so I am flying back and forth from Italy to Tirana Albania.  We are at the packaging stage for this film which will be shot entirely in Albania.  Working on other projects for development 2 in particular all in English.  As usual I spend a good deal of time preparing my lessons for my students and helping them with their careers.   

2017 begins our organization for two projects we want to film this year, more on thal later.   We start filming a trailer for a new Mauro John Capece Film La Danza this January. Two more Films to shoot starting this spring again we can't discuss this until we get permission from production.  I finished a short film for my students The Circle produced and Directed by them.  We are looking for a new building for the studio.  So I am fairly busy putting it all together.   

I have had some wonderful opportunities to work with some great people this last year and a half.  Being here in Europe has been challenging to say the least but working with the Italians has been a lot of fun.  We have several projects coming in by December to film through out 2017.  Musani one of Italy's eldest fashion designers are working with me which is a real pleasure.  More on that later.  CDA Studio Di Nardo in Rome are my new Agents, so looking forward tio some strategy and planning for 2017.  Los Angeles is not out of the question for next year. 

Updates  2016

We have been in discussions with a few projects, One Television Series and three Films.   As normal I never count on anything until contracts are signed in this business but I like the scripts and they have huge potential.

I will be flying to India in September for eight days to meet with producers and director on a production to be filmed in Calcutta.  There will be a lot of Indian press conferences and a full schedule with NEZ Films  This will be an interestng experince as I have never been there and I am sure it will be fascinating.

 

October Roberto Faenza's  La Verita Sta In Cielo with Riccardo Scarmacio will premier in Rome and there is a lot of publicity around this film.  Unfortunately as with many things we do, we can not discuss specifics with regards to projects or share, posts or images until approved by the dproductions.

I will see what 2017 brings with another proposed film "Interferenza"  Production is trying to secure a major American Star to play opposite to me and I hope they obtain him as it would be the highlight of my career to work with him.
