Everybody Wants To Be Italian

Friday, August 8th, 2008






EVERYBODY WANTS TO BE ITALIAN was inspired by Jason’s experiences while living and practicing medicine in Boston, where he met and eventually won the love of his Italian wife. Jason’s freshman effort was UNREST, a medical thriller set in the all too world of gross anatomy class, where Alison Blanchard must confront the spirit of her cadaver as well as her own inner demons if she is to save her classmates. Stemming from his own experience as a medical student, Jason has long been struck by what a viscerally unique and terrifying environment gross anatomy is. After Dark Films and Lionsgate released it theatrically in 2006 as part of the 8 FILMS TO DIE FOR. Jason got his start in filmmaking years after he dropped out of high school to study biochemistry and ultimately earn a medical degree. He was knee deep in a general surgery residency when he realized his true passion was education…and the largest classroom in the world is the cinema. Jason left medicine to attend USC’s Peter Stark Program. While there, he directed the thesis level films PEEPING TOM and THE FIRST VAMPIRE. Jason spends whatever time he is not writing and directing with his family or shooting still photography.

In Search Of A Midnight Kiss.

Friday, August 8th, 2008

From emerging, award-winning filmmaker Alex Holdridge and the producer of BEFORE SUNRISE and DAZED AND CONFUSED, IN SEARCH OF A MIDNIGHT KISS is a funny and bittersweet look at love, sex, and modern romance. With an unsold script, no concrete plans, and a love life reduced to getting caught in compromising positions (alone!), a twenty-nine-year aspiring writer, Wilson (Scoot McNairy) just had the worst year of his life. That is until his best friend, Jacob (Brian Matthew McGuire), browbeats him into posting a personal ad for New Year’s Eve on Craig’s List. When Vivian (Sara Simmonds), a sexy, sarcastic, and seemingly blind-date-from-hell responds, the two strangers embark on an unexpected, chaotic, and hilariously awkward journey through the black-and-white streets of Los Angeles hoping to meet the right one before the stroke of midnight. A truly original love letter to Los Angeles, IN SEARCH OF A MIDNIGHT KISS captures a lost downtown rarely seen on screen along with the hearts of critics and audiences alike.
