Ashley
Yeah. So, what’s next for you? What are you working? It sounds like you have a novel, you’re working on these rewrites of the lawyer’s gun bag series, but what’s next for you in terms of screenplays and movies?
Vincent Scarsella
Well, we have local talent, which is…
Ashley
Your financing and getting the financing together on that.
Vincent Scarsella
I’m getting financing but the local talent itself is a comedy it’s in a I compare it to like Edwood or waiting for Guffman a bunch of dream local dreamers from buffalo actors a screenwriter who writes this goofy tv remake of Baywatch on the shores of Lake Erie using plus size lifeguards because his girlfriend is little plus size but she’s lost weight she’s working on it. And so it’s got the comedic element a con man comes sweeps in, takes advantage of them, gets their money to do a demo reel and it costs like hardly anything to do this demo reel and then he runs off with the rest of the money. So, that’s the whole essence of the plot. so it’s got some crime element to it. It’s about the main character is a dreamer in his late 30s actor who hasn’t made it you know maybe he should have gone in New York city or Atlanta or Hollywood and tried but he stayed in buffalo. And so it’s a film about almost making it and so we’ve gotten some good support. I think that the script is pretty decent it did well at your contest. Back in 2023 it was a whole little bit different story back then but so I revised it a little bit to fit it for Buffalo. So, that’s what we’re working on, we have a complete script. I mean you’re always revising a script and I’m sure it’ll change as we get closer to filming um but so we’ve got that we’ve raised 25 or 22,500 so far out of a 75,000 budget with some other commitments out there and developing the financing. I have support of some local people up in buffalo that are well known and all we’ve got all locations, and other amenities that are going to be that won’t cost us anything. So, it’s got a lot of positives going for it and it’s just getting the local people behind it and with their with their pocketbooks as you know that’s one of the hardest things to do and you know so now I’m watching a lot of YouTube videos on how to develop financing and so forth that are out there and those are the types of books I’ll read now.
