MILLION CALORIE MARCH

I never would have believed that a project developed almost entirely outside the film community would have so much potential. Gary Marino, who, 4 years ago, weighed 397 lbs not only vowed to take off weight, but formed an organization to create obesity awareness. Earlier this year he walked from Jackonville Fla to Boston, with a crew. He was on the Regis show at least three times, Fox News, a big write-up in USA Today, and local publicity all along the coast. Now, slimmed down to 245 lbs, he wants to make a movie. Thge march is both a physical and a metaphysical journey, but he wants to conclude by running the Boston Marathon, and get down to l90lbs. And it looks like he's getting the funding.
