"Lucia Kaiser rocks. She is involved in Producing the great Marvin Gaye Feature Film “Midnight Love” for the past few years. I have just completed the final financing of $4million. We are shooting in Belgium next year and have quite a star studded cast as you will read in my bio below. I think you will enjoy many of my friends photos.
She is also Producing an amazing film “Framed” based on my partner and dear friends life, Tod Volpe. He has been in the art world for over 40 years. His book “Framed” was published a number of years ago. The great Oscar Award Nominated Writer, Terrence Winter, has written our screenplay (The Wolf of Wallstreet, Boardwalk Empire, Soprano’s, etc.). It will also expose the corruption in the artworld. Tod built all the celebrities in Hollywood major art collections (Jack Nicholson, Steven Spielberg and so many more). We have signed a contract with Richard Rubenstein, to do all our PR on the film, the Brand, etc. Mammoth Entertainment is financing our film ($20-$30million budget) and I am sitting down with several A list Directors in the next few weeks. In addition, I have secured a Grammy Award Winning Composer, Yves Dessca (he wrote all the music for The Bourne Identity, “I Will Survive” and has composed all the music for “The Count of Monte Cristo” he is Producing on Broadway) to compose our score for the film. Note: In our interview with Lucia, I mentioned that she was on some boards and it wasn’t accurateL lucia pointed out to me, so please go to her website for her latest accomplishments. Lucia is what you call a DO GOODER she is there for everyone, her heart is in the right and left place. With Peace and Love, Paul
