We had a wonderful Script Reading for my upcoming feature, Stay Fresh yesterday at my production company's office. We had Joe Gannascoli, who played Vito Spatafore on The Sopranos (a top five character), Artie Pasquale (who also was on The Sopranos) and Brian O'Halloran (Dante from Kevin Smith's Clerks and Clerks II ), as well as a host of other talented people. Screenwriting and Filmmaking can both be a beautiful process. GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH! ;)
There's myself and Joe Gannascoli, Vito Spatafore on The Sopranos! He's also been in Road Trip, Ed Wood and Two Family House, among many other things. Great actor. Class act.
There's myself, fellow Stage 32er, Alicia Kozakiewicz and the aforementioned Brian O'Halloran from Clerks and Clerks II, among others. (Brian was also in a wonderful little comedy picture called Brutal Massacre. Check it out!)
One more - just for posterity ...
Thank You Derek, but we don't say that. We say Break Legs! ;)
Seriously, though, thank you, Derek!

Congrats, man! I hope things align for you to be able to execute on your vision. I am based out of LA. Please let me know if you need any help whatsoever. There are no “fees” with me. I just want to see my industry GROW in the right direction. All the best!

We had several STAGE 32ers reading parts for me yesterday during the reading, including Jim Thalman, Sarah Teed, Taylor Salotti and Alicia, who I singled out above.

Way to pull together such an amazing group for the read! Getting it done! Love to see it!
Thank you, Derek Reid and Michael Rogers ! GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH!
Dan, because this film has a VERY Elmore Leonard vibe, we made them up to draw awareness to the project. There's also a major studio I've been dealing with and the tee shirts were a way for me to show some serious numbers of what we SOLD in a week alone - no advertising - ONLY on SOCIAL MEDIA and really only on my Facebook page. They were surprised at the kind of interest I drew! And, now, more people want them. I may set up another print-run. I also gave a few to some people in L.A. that have assisted the project. Thanks for noticing! GOD BLESS and STAY FRESH! ;)
