MILLION CALERIE MARCH, II

Another meeting with Gary Marino, the man behind the Million Carolie March, the most promising project I've been involved with since SESSION 9. Here is a project that already has put together its elements. Almost 85% of its financing is in place, the marketing strategy has been planned, including hiring a national publicist, a book has already been published, and a Sports Entertainment executive is ready. With the timeliness of the topic, and the immannce of the star's running the Boston Marathon in April, and the attendant publicity, this looks like a winner. And, I get a chance to help in the design of the film, from the alreadyu shot footage of the march from Jacksonville, FL to Boston, to shaping the training footage, the Marathon footage and the back story, whether it be told through voice-over, archival footage , interviews or restaged footage, as in the near accident that was one of the things that served as a wake up call.
