ALL EYES ON TACOMA FEATURE >>>
Do you know Joe? In case you don't, actor-producer Joe Rosati has entertained Tacoma for the past several years with a stack of film roles that continues to grow. My own first encounter came in 2008, as I had the privilege of watching Rosati sledgehammer the honest-to-God crap out of a honey bucket in the short comedy It Don't Rain on Sunny Days.
Memories...
Three years later, J-Ro commands the screen once more, showing audiences his serious side as a down-and-outer in Chad Ruin's feature A Perfect Life (costar Ashley Cozine appeared in a Biz Buzz several weeks back). Already the movie has generated buzz around Park City, Utah, where Rosati and Perfect cinematographer Scott Stone relocated some months ago. And when you practically share a backyard with the Sundance Film Festival, a little interest in your picture doesn't hurt.
It was Park City, Utah where they ran into some good fortune in the form of Vivian van Dijk, owner and editor in chief of Eyes InTM Magazine. "She was intrigued by our story," says Stone. You can find Van Dijk's published article via the "Press" page of www.a-perfect-life.com. Both men found the attention a pleasant surprise.
"We had no idea that it would be a 13-page spread...in a global art publication, so this is a real honor," says Stone.
Rosati attributes this to "an energy" he hasn't seen before at other festivals. "It's just been amazing, the people we've networked with down here. Meeting Vivian was huge," says Rosati.
A risky yet strategic move has started paying off for two intrepid filmmakers. The world premiere of A Perfect Life took place just days ago at the Park City Film Music Festival, and very soon the rest of us can see the film. It screens Tuesday, June 7, at the Seattle True Independent Film Festival. Find more details at www.trueindependent.org.
