TERMINATION EVENT – Our next project-a black and white film noir thriller. Termination Event is a term used in pre-nuptial agreements, at play in this plot. We plan to shoot in New York and Greece. Stratos Tzortoglou is a major star in Greece. He is featured in Subterranean Love (Ileana & Paul) (see below), and is excited to be part of this project, both as actor and co-producer. Now in development, we will be looking for funding in the near future. STAY TUNED!

Two lonely people, with personal baggage, on separate evenings out – on the same street in Greenwich Village, she with a friend, he alone, end up on the subway platform where an old Eastern European woman plays rueful accordion music (she becomes a muse/cupid). They get into the same subway car and from there surreptitiously observe each other and submerge themselves in romantic fantasies (black and white). They never speak and she, just before exiting the train, has one last ‘fantasy kiss’ on the train, ending their ‘romance.’ Haunting accordion music and subway imagery add a fine subtlety to the romance and mystery.

This is a follow-up to my previous short, Subterranean Love, which focuses on two of the peripheral characters from the first film. Two people, an older man and a somewhat (40s) younger woman, with conflicting needs, with emotional luggage, who at some point try to come together. The film is set in New York. The lead actress, Mihaela Mihut (Actors Studio member), was the acting coach on the highly acclaimed Rumanian film ‘Selfie.’ For more information about the cast CLICK HERE
