News Flash:

Maverick indie producers David Von Roehm and Tom Proctor join Trendy Pictures:  

David Von Roehm, founder/CEO of Ningun Films and producing partners at Luck Films, will team up with Crystal Stevens and Joseph Giacalone at Trendy, along with Tom Proctor founder/CEO of MadCat Films to produce Trendy's first feature, "Organized Criminal. " Proctor states that he has great passion for the project. Out of all of his films, which are often fictional, they always tell the truth; “it's very likely that this ambitious story, which could easily be a true story, might not find support at any studio.”

Von Roehm agrees, adding that this is one of the reasons he is joining Trendy; because of the shared history and attitude among the partners to bring integrity to their work, doing it on their own terms, very much like what he enjoys about his affiliation with Luck Films and working with Willie Nelson. Stevens, who wrote the screenplay, adds that she's thrilled to have the right team assembled, both for Trendy and on "Organized Criminal," highlighting the importance of having an independent streak among the personalities of the partners and behind the project, because "it takes demonstrating such characteristics in our lives and in our prior career choices to do a story on rebellion with authenticity." Trendy is currently in talks with director Geo Santini to direct “Organized Criminal.” Stevens states that Santini is a perfect match due to the energy, passion, dedication Santini has brought to his prior work.

Santini’s next film “October 31st” is casting mid-June/early July; “Madre De Dios,” starring Eric Roberts, Julie Ormond and Barbra Mori and will be directed by Santini in 2011.  “Organized Criminal” will be shot in NY at Cine Magic Riverfront Studios and on location in NJ likely in the winter of 2010 or early 2011.
