Local Color the movie...update

Greetings all,

I just got off the phone with Jim Evangelatos the Producer of " Local Color ". He had been informed about my review by Elaine Adams, Director of the American Legacy Fine Art Gallery. I don't have permission as yet to publish his thoughts ( I forgot to ask him while I had him on the phone ) but they were very supportive.

The film was an act of love by all the actors and film makers. Many of the actors just worked for minimum wage. The main character was acted by Armin Mueller -Stahl ( Shine , Avalon ) and he read the script and came OUT of retirement to do this movie. He is a painter himself and was firmly behind this effort In fact he was the second choice as another marquee actor was to play the lead only if his girlfriend could play the leading female role. Yes...it still happens.

I asked "Jimmy" if Local Color would be shown in the greater Sacramento area and unfortunately there is no money in the budget to get it up here. As it stands, this was an indie film shot at a cost of 2.5 million and all of the money went into general pre and post production.

I will be interviewing George Gallo , the Writer and Director next. Jimmy gave me his number.

The movie will be released in DVD and finding distribution is in the works. Look for " Local Color" to be out on the streets September 8th!

Here is the trailer is case you want to get a glimpsed of what you missed on the big screen.
