Even during the pandemic when everyone had time on their hands, trying to get someone to read your script was still a struggle. And making a movie? Impossible. However…

Director Sam Macaroni did just that. With both storyboards and just a few comic book pages where I captured the likeness of the actors he wanted, Sam Macaroni landed both Nick Nolte and Josh Duhamel and thus the budget he needed to film the action-packed, “Blackout” which was indeed, filmed during the shutdown.

Or perhaps you’re pitching to direct a music video and land the gig just as Sam did for a Snoop Dog video.
