Screenplay Resurrection

Filmmakers Raymond De Felitta and David Zellerford have a candid conversation on the rich, complicated history of trying to turn their screenplay "Murdering Michael Malloy" into a movie—from the warm reception and enthusiastic participation of several major actors and investors, through the gradual decline of interest in the project, as world events and a changing marketplace stalled the project. They also discuss how it ultimately led to the positive development of this podcast and renewed interest in the projects future.

Show Notes

"Murdering Michael Malloy" was a screenplay that made the rounds of the indie film scene as early as 2000. In this bonus episode we discuss how world events, a changing market place and the simple act of the air going out of a project after a perfect storm of events stalled progress. Hopefully the listener will gain useful insight into the process and join with us as we seek to re-energize and finally realize our movie.

Edited by David Leonard, assisted by Jake Guastafeste, mixed by Corey Folta.

Recorded at Hangover Lounge.
