Hollywood Deep

Yellow Released June 22

I worked on a commercial last week with one of my favorite young directors, Alfredo De Villa imdb We’ve worked together a few times now, he’s a good guy, and a real filmmaker. We work well together, and also attended the same film school at the University of Miami (years apart). We shot a bunch of spots last week, it was hard work, we encountered what seemed like every kind of production problem. Last Friday everything seemed to be going wrong for a while. We pulled through it and ultimately got it all done. We shot some cool stuff, including firing a shopping cart from an air cannon into the windshield of a brand new Pontiac Solstice. We trashed the car pretty good, it was cool.
Alfredo directed the movie “Yellow”, that is being released this week. The film stars super hot Roselyn Sanchez, as a dancer from Puerto Rico trying to make it in New York City. The movie was shot in New York and Puerto Rico, an indy film, that has a very stylized look. The scenes with Roselyn Sanchez dancing at a strip club are hot and steamy. With very good performances turned in by D.B. Sweeney and Bill Duke. Well done.
…DEEP at WORK

‘Amaryllis Campos (Sanchez) is a young dancer from San Juan whose close relationship with her father Franco, himself once a great ballet star in New York City, drives her from her native Puerto Rico to Manhattan in order to fulfill her dreams. Living with a deceiving alcoholic wife, Carmen, and despairing of ever achieving greatness again, Franco takes his life. In order to honor her father’s memory, Amaryllis decides to resume her dancing and pursue fame and success in New York. She settles into an abandoned apartment and, with few job prospects available, takes a job dancing at a strip club. Her new stage name, Yellow. While in New York, she befriends an old man named Miles, a washed out poetry professor living in her building, and Christian (D.B. Sweeney), a young doctor, who falls for her and tries to help her out of her situation.’
