The paragraphs below were taken from our page that was up in 2015, when WITHOUT HATE was in pre-production as an Independent Feature Film. Sadly, the renowned actor Frank Vincent has died, as did the forever distinguished and gracious gentleman agent, Don Buchwald. Virtually everyone else is still available and ready to jump back in and much more talent is ready to come on board.
2015: The latest piece of exciting news is that the brilliant and prolific songwriter, musician and singer Simon Townshend has agreed to let us use one of his original compositions in our growing, multi-hit soundtrack. Some of Simon's recent gigs include a show stopping forty minute set at the 12-12-12 concert for Sandy Relief at Madison Square Garden, the closing of the 2012 Olympics and the halftime show at the 2010 Superbowl. Of course, on those stages, Simon was playing guitar and providing secondary vocals for his brother Pete's band, The Who. In his time off from Who tours, Simon performs his own rather innovative and provocative original music in clubs in the United States, Europe and around the globe. The bit of exciting news that preceded was bringing in the universally known, accomplished and award winning actor, Frank Vincent, to play our defense attorney. Among his many, many triumphs, Frank was the man who ended up in the trunk of the car for telling Joe Pesci to go home and get his shine box in GOODFELLAS. Frank repaid the favor to his former comedy partner by burying Joe alive in the Nevada sand in CASINO. And Frank had his head run over in a New Jersey gas station on the final episode of THE SOPRANOS. Joe Donofrio asked us to find him a role in the film and we accommodated. Joe's many significant credits include Young Tommy, or young Joe Pesci, in GOODFELLAS and Slick in A BRONX TALE.
IInternational and award winning film, theater and television star, Kathleen Gati, has also eagerly joined our cast as the mother of one of the alleged perpetrators. Kathi has appeared in over eighty films and television programs, as well as dozens of theaterical plays, in the United States, Europe and around the world. She's had two Daytime Emmy nominations and she was the recipient of the Hungarian equivalent of an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in a Film. The enchanting and eternally radiant Robin Quivers, who's been Howard Stern's rather luminous and charismatic partner and co-host for the past forty plus years, was one of the first performers to come on board. Gentleman Don Buchwald, who Howard Stern referred to as Super Agent, and who Eric considered to be one of the most gracious and congenial people he'd ever dealt with in this business, had taken a personal interest in the project and had offered us a wide range of experienced and noteworthy actors from his agency.
And we're happy to have Anna Fishbeyn, the writer and star of one of New York's most quirky, original and trendy new plays, SEX IN MOMMYVILLE, and an award winning film actress, writer and director, as part of our growing, rather diverse cast.
Renowned producer and Emmy and multi-independent film award winning director Sylvia Caminer enthusiastically signed on to direct and co-produce within a couple of days of first receiving the script. Additional producers include Dolger Films, a seasoned and experienced group with numerous independent features to their credit, Sophia Ziburtovicz, a former dancer and exhibiting photographer who's dabbled as a theater and music producer and whose passion for this project has driven her to take her first head on dive into the world of feature films, Paul Borghese, a seasoned producer, director, writer and actor who has over twenty films to his credit and who spent many years as president of the Italian American Actor's Studio in New York, Eric Zaccar, the writer and lead producer, Nelson Farber, a licensed attorney and passionate and enthusiastic international film and television producer, and Without Hate LLC, the investment vehicle. Simon Townshend, Mike Boldt, Ruby Faith and Jenn London are among those providing original, soon to be hit songs for the score and soundtrack. The passionate and brilliant Dara Wishingrad will be doing the production design, which means that every single frame in our film should be a powerful photograph, in itself. Caroline Sinclair was casting the film and actors were initially being brought in by invitation only. Until the word is put out to the contrary, unsolicited submissions will not be accepted.
