Catania! – The Movie is a romantic comedy film project and some scenes for the film will be shot in and around Catania in lovely Sicily during the summer of 2012 – if a $7,500 funding target is met.
Hollywood types liked the Catania! script, but despite the low level of funding required, didn’t want to take the plunge financially according to scriptwriter and filmmaker Doug Bremner.
One comment the Hollywood people made was that independent producers would love the movie, so Doug Bremner, who is also a Professor of Psychiatry and Radiology at Emory University School of Medicine and Atlanta VA Medical Center decided to go it alone along with his daughter Sabina.
Preparations are coming along, actors are being sought, but more cash is required to really get the project off the ground.
I Pledged

Because I like the idea and that the movie will help promote Sicily, I decided to take a mini plunge and pledge some money towards the making of Catania. But the project is still short of its funding target.

Stop reading, start speaking
Stop translating in your head and start speaking Italian for real with the only audio course that prompt you to speak.
There is still a little time left to help Doug hit that target so the movie gets made.
