Although more than 15 film production companies nationwide have requested the screenplay for potential production over the past year, Rossi has opted to move out of the writer-only role and join forces in the production process starting her own Pittsburgh-based film company by the name All Saints Films Productions. “It is a risk, however I felt it is important to be part of production to ensure the overall essence of the script remains intact,” Rossi notes. “I’m looking forward to being very hands-on.”
Bringing together nationwide talent, the ensemble cast includes; Jake Andolina, Brian Barna, Paula Bellin, Carl Clemons, Angelle Guyette, Christopher Hendricks, John Iwanonkiw, Catrina Rogers, Jenna Rowles-Romito, Shawn Smith, Rob Stone and Matthew Veltri. The first cast party is scheduled for September 27, 2007 at DejaVue Lounge on Penn Avenue in Pittsburgh’s strip district.
Filming of principal photography is scheduled to begin in October with shooting locations in both Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and Hollywood, California. Rossi is looking at several potential distributors for the film, and is currently considering all distribution options from nationwide theatrical release, network television movie or a straight-to-DVD option.
