Making the Day

A valentine to movie making, to New York and New Yorkers, to the creative spirit and to love. Perfectly cast, it pulls us into the struggle to make a beautiful thing against many odds. Everyone shines, most of all Juliette Bennett. As a struggling actress she is gorgeous, radiant, hopeful, desperate, serene, !000% committed when it is asked of her ( even if it is ti be a zombie)--and she is the heart and soul of this gem of a film.

I loved this film. It rambles through NY meeting crazy characters every step of the way. The main characters pull you in and you find urself cheering for Fozzio on his search for his perfect Linda and his financing.

The coveted role and the much needed money become the golden ticket for a really enjoyable journey.

This movie has heart and soul because it is grounded the truth the race belongs not to the swift but to the strong. Like a fine wine, it needed time - 6 years - to be opened and appreciated. Kudos to the amazing writer and director, Michael Canzoniero, to the editor, Michael Berenbaum, to the cast, especially Juliette Bennett and Steven Randazzo, and to all the "little people" who made this movie because they love making movies. An indie like Making the Day reminds us that making serious movies requires people with heart more than studios with money.

Having a partner you love and whose life you want to honor is what drives this movie. After "experiencing" this movie, I went home kissed my wife. That was my reaction to the movie and it's the biggest compliment I can pay it.

Making the day tells the story of an impassioned film maker who will stop at nothing to tell the story of his family. At just under an hour and a half, the story wraps up all the character arcs while still leaving room enough for the audience wanting to find out what happens next!

This realistic movie captures the drama and difficulty of making an Indie movie. The main characters are real to life sharing their humor and frustrations.
