Indie filmmaker David Spaltro shoots Mr. Media Interviews


I get pitched on an awful lot of potential interviews. This one caught my attention and I hope you'll tune in for this show:

"My name is David Spaltro and I'm an independent filmmaker and producer from NYC. Last year I completed my first feature film ...Around. It was a labor of love about a young man with a dual life "living" out of Penn and Grand Central Station while going to film school, based on my own personal experiences a few years ago in this city. 21 shooting days, 190 locations all over the city, self-financed and done for $175,000 or 40 credit cards... no, seriously. I may have caused the fiscal crisis. Sorry.

"I'm writing you because I'd love to send you a screener DVD. I think, as someone who is an avid lover of film, the story will really hit home. We've also been getting a lot of positive buzz and reviews as we do the rounds on the festival circuit (a premiere at Tribeca Cinemas, NewFilmmakers NY, Big Apple Film Festival and awaiting selection into various festivals this Spring such as SXSW and abroad) and work on an upcoming DVD and digital distribution deal in the states and abroad with Cinetic Media Rights, a division of John Sloss's Cinetic Media. I think because of the struggle to make the film, the whole DIY approach with no previous experiences or resources, to fund, make, and distribute a feature film in 2 years and now to see it out there and in these rough economic times what the story stands for would make for an interesting and inspirational piece, especially concerning the two lead actors, current LA transplant Robert Evans and NYC actress Molly Ryman, two amazing talents who are on their way to breaking through. They also might make for a nice interview about their process of making their way through their personal journey..."
