A bit about the project...
We love it when talented people remember their roots and come home!
How exciting to have National talents; writer/actor JONAS CHERNICK and director SEAN GARRITY come back from Toronto with their project.
This romantic comedy stars JONAS CHERNICK as conservative accountant Jordan Abrams. To win back his unsatisfied ex-girlfriend, Jordan enlists the help of Julia - an uninhibited exotic dancer - to guide him on a quest for sexual experience, leading him into a world of strip clubs, sensual massage parlors, cross dressing and S & M.
PROJECT POS - Feature (union):
What a thrill it was to spend the end of our summer working with local talents; writer/director/producer -Jeremy Torrie and actor/producer Adam Beach (we can still claim him as a local right lol!)
They along with the other fabulous local talent, out of town talent and great collective crew made for a wonderful experience for all involved.
...and I think Jeremy's script made us all a little smarter - or if not, then definitely more enlightened!
Can't wait to see the end results! Congratulations and thanks to everyone involved for making this a memorable and positive experience.
CP - Feature (union):
CLASS PROJECT is a feature film starring Abigail Breslin and Mira Sorvino.
Teenage sisters SANDRA and BETH have been at the mercy of their sad alcoholic mother - and her abusive boyfriends - for as far back as they can remember. The situation is getting worse with each passing day and no one seems willing to help, so the sisters decide to take matters into their own hands and put their mother out of her misery. But when they take some high school friends into their confidence, they complicate what could have been the perfect crime...
We are now wrapped on this project and would like to thank all those involved in making it such a successful shoot!
Sometimes you have the great fortune to work on a project with some of the best. We had that experience with the above the line on this one! and we are truly delighted to have been part of the project! Here's hoping we see more of producer turned director, the talented Mr. Stanley Brooks and the always level, calm and smiling producer Damian Ganczewski.
