Florida again...

We just returned from another trip to South Florida. It was great to see some old friends and make some new ones....while lining up new investors.

The highlight was visiting the Dezer Collection - 220,000 square feet with over 920 collectible vehicles, many from the movies.  The Collection is preparing for re-opening after expanding its space. The new space will include a section devoted to James Bond, and a large event space. We look forward to visiting again when it's in full swing - soon.

We're excited to announce that Ellen Jacoby has agreed to cast MEGABALLS. It's always great to see Ellen, and this time was no different - where we discussed ideas for casting the main roles. She'll review the roles we've pre-cast and we'll then talk about any ideas she may have, if needed. Ellen was yet given another award in recognition for her 25 years of casting. Some of Ellen's casting credits include BUR NOTICE and CHARLIE'S ANGELS (redux).  Ellen will also sponsor Oroloro's membership into the Florida Film Production Coalition. If you haven't been following, two of our films - LOVE OF A LIFETIME and HOT PROPERTIES - will shoot in South Florida. We were originally introduced to Ellen by the then-Broward Film Commissioner, Elizabeth Wentworth. Both were enthralled by our screenplays. Elizabeth has since gone on her own, and is part of our team as an associate producer.

Music to my ears

Tony award winning, Emmy and Grammy winning composer/arranger/conductor Don Pippin has attached to provide the original music/scoring for MEGABALLS.  Don has been a kind friend for many years. The Lambs will be doing a retrospect of Don' career in December...and we're proud to have him on board or film effort.

Casting a wider net...

We're pleased to add more additions to the cast of MEGABALLS.

Rick Zahn is on board to play the role of the "tough" limo driver
for the Mastelucci family. We're looking forward to working with Rick.

Rebecca Damon will play the voice of the Megaballs Lotto Girl.

Keith Randolph Smith will play police officer Greene

We're truly pleased to have them on board....and there's more to come!

Festival Fun

Oroloro partner Marc Baron has been a guest judge two years running for a start-up film festival in NY called the NYC Filmmakers's Festival...and has been sked to judge a start-up festival in Laughlin Nevada next June. The  Leftovers in Laughlin Film & Entertainment Festival is more than just about film, it includes music, fashion, photography and more.

Tale of 2 Hollywoods

Returned after a short trip to Hollywood/ Los Angeles. I was there to attend a SAG Plenary (national board meeting) and stayed an extra day. I was able to have several meetings about our films, and meet up with a few friends as well. Revised scripts for MEGABALLS along with its venture plan were given out, waiting to make follow-up calls.

Now we're planning our next trip to Hollywood, Florida....we're we've got 4 meetings in the works, possibly a fifth.

We just keep moving and building, and hopefully we'll fund. We're examining the reality of finding a large number of investors using a private placement memorandum (PPM) as the financing document. A PPM can costs about $5,000 and we don't want to make that outlay until we're sure it's the way to go. So, we're calling up all our friends to get a sense of how many we can count on, and then we'll decide.

Also, an acquaintance pointed out today that a Google search for "MegaBalls" brings Oroloro in first position. Nice.

Adding Up

Just completed revenue projections for our comedy MegaBalls and the results are very encouraging. Now on to the final touches for the venture plan - in preparation for trips to Los Angeles and South Florida.

John Bruno has joined our team as the production coordinator (and possibly as our line producer)....

More to come soon!
