Making the Day

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.

Who doesn't love to root for the underdog?! Making the Day has a great story, spot on casting - with stand out leads especially. Really enjoyed this film and an ending I didn't quite expect.

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.

This movie will remind you of poor Sisyphus rolling the stone up the hill, only to see it tumble down and needing to be pushed up the hill over and over again. It is a story of the pain and suffering one has to endure to get an independent film made as it clearly reveals the passion Michael Canzoniero, the writer/director, has for filmmaking. Unlike Sisyphus, however, his trial ends in triumph as Canzoniero's grit got the movie made against the odds.

That's the metastory. Embedded with it are two tracks converging in the making of an independent film. The first follows the travails of a has-been actor trying to make a film revealing the love he has for his recently departed wife. The second presents the struggle a quirky young actress has getting the role that will lead her to stardom.

In my humble opinion the performances were authentic from everyone in the cast but I must praise brilliant performances of Steven Randazzo and Juliette Bennett. If a cabal didn't control the industry, their performances would have been worthy of Oscar consideration.

Excellent film enjoyed it very much, A must see Congratulations to the cast and crew, excellent work.
