Text Box: TEN CENT ADVENTURES is an exciting new film & television production company dedicated to supporting outstanding talent and seeking out new voices. The company is based in London and was founded in 2008 by producer Paul Fischer, who has worked for companies such as Heyday Films and Walt Disney Publishing, and on film and television sets both in the UK and in the US. Our current development slate includes fiction features, series and specials for television; documentaries for theaters and broadcast, and short films by both beginners and acclaimed filmmakers and artists. We keep the creative process at the heart of our approach, and strive to create consistently fresh, innovative, and challenging work. Our full website is currently under construction, but in the meantime here’s an idea of some of the projects we have in different stages of production: Gone (short film, playing at festivals now) Directed by Mary Kerr Starring Jenny O’Reilly, Kate Wyvill, and Luis Leitao GONE is the first short film of up-and-coming British director Mary Kerr, who currently has several projects in development. Part comedy, part music video, the film follows a young woman as she runs through New York City, looking for her missing boyfriend. But is he really missing… or as he just moved on? The film premiered internationally at the St. John’s International Film Festival in Canada, and at the First Sundays Comedy Film Festival in New York, and continues to play in film festivals around the world. Love In Sound (short film, post-production) Directed by Paul Fischer Starring Joe Cipriano, Hollie Seidel, Robert O’Gorman, Tony Wolf, Johnnie Cross, Kristina Candelarie, and Rebecca Rian LOVE IN SOUND tells the story of the guy who does the voice for movie trailers, and the girl who does the voice for phone voicemail services, and how they are ridiculed by “normal” people because of their funny voices. Their respective lives are an ordeal – that is, until they meet, and fall in love… Shot in New York and put together in the style of the great Technicolor romances of the Hollywood Golden Age, LOVE IN SOUND is a quirky and surreal comedy, currently in post-production, and due at festivals in late 2008 and early 2009. We Rob Banks (documentary, post-production) Directed by Niki Harman WE ROB BANKS is the story of the annual Bonnie & Clyde festival in Gibsland, Louisiana – a town where two thirds of the population are black, unemployed, and live under the poverty line; but where hundreds flock every year from all around America with the sole purpose of celebrating the local gangsters. The three-day event reveals the flip side of the American myth, and turns up a few surprising insights about the most powerful country in the world’s violent history. The film is currently in post-production, and was recently shortlisted for funders at the 2008 Brit Doc Festival in Oxford, UK. Radioman (documentary, pre-production) Directed by Mary Kerr & Martina Betz A unique, quirky character piece, RADIOMAN is the story of one larger-than-life individual, whose life takes him from the homeless shelters of New York City to the sets of the biggest Hollywood blockbusters. Contradictory, unpredictable, and surprising, this is the intimate story of a man’s dreams and disillusions, and how they both equally make us who we are. To film extras, Craig Castaldo (or is it Schwartz?) is the grumpy guy who knows all the casting directors, shooting locations, and filming dates before anybody else does, and has appeared in dozens of movies and TV shows. To movie stars, he’s the eccentric New York City film fan they like hanging out with the most. And to regular New Yorkers, he’s the homeless guy they regularly see cycle around the city, carrying a boom box around his neck, wearing a battered old Paramount Pictures leather jacket and film cap, the entirety of his belongings stuff in plastic bags hanging off his bicycle handles. The film explores Craig’s life – his day-to-day routine, his relationship with his family, and much more – but also his psyche, as we discover how he consciously built the complex character he now embodies: a homeless bum with a website, a hotline, celebrity friends, and last but not least, a supposed fortune in autographs and memorabilia.
