Audience Film Style

• VESUVIANO PICUTRES, LLC seeks to produce a
  project that is commercially viable and has all
  the hallmarks of a larger budget film while
  keeping production costs manageable. Given the
  dynamic nature of the characters, we plan to
  attract a strong ensemble cast.
• Films such Best in Show, Sister Act, and Legally
  Blond have proven the critical and financial
  viability of classy, well-executed interwoven
  stories. MIMI TONY in VEGAS is a unique take
  on how people choose to change their lives a
  universally accessible topic appealing to a wide
  demographic of audiences. This should lead to
  box office success as well as a film that
  continues to resonate over the years.
• Characters full of sensibility and comedy will
  bring laughter to the audience. We plan to infuse
  the film with a sense of levity and realism. The
  staged readings we have held have been filled
  with both laughter and tears. This is the best
  comedy we hope MIMI TONY in VEGAS conveys, much
  like life itself.

Directors Statement

• When I write, I like to create characters that
  help me tell an engaging story.   It is essential
  to give the audience a story elements and
  characters they can relate to.  I like to leave
  viewers with something to think about after the
  movie is over.I like to present characters that
  overcome lifes difficulties and oppose adversity
  in a humorous but healthy manner.  One can
  triumph over personal adversity if you maintain
  sense of humor, a positive attitude and remain
  deeply committed to your dream.
