A Message from the Producer

Here's a message from Mark Dobies one of the producers of Alto:

Hey everyone! I just had the pleasure speaking with one of the top acting coaches in the country today…who also happens to be ALTO’S very own Mrs. Capalletti. It’s a coup for us not only to have Ms. Spivak’s enormous depth and character in the role but to have someone of her caliber on set to share her insights and a lifetime of experience is more than we could hope for. I have yet to meet anyone in the industry who brings out more detail and character analysis in a scene than Alice. Having worked with some of the biggest names in the industry she epitomizes the Golden Age of Hollywood. If it’s good she’ll make it better. If it’s great…you get the picture.

I have to say that I can’t reiterate any better than what my partner Toni talked about in her recent blog. But…I’ll try. When she first presented the script to me for consideration, the only thing she said was “give it a read”.  Now, you have to know my partner and I have a very symbiotic “melding of the minds” when it comes to the creative process. “Give it a read” didn’t at all sound like our usual “tell me what ya think”. Was I intrigued? Yeah! Needless to say halfway through “ALTO” my response was…we gotta do this! So, here we are.

In the months to come I’ve met some truly amazing people. Our gifted and unassuming writer, Mikki del Monico whose talent left me in stitches and tears and our wonderful director Angelica Torn who so gracefully fit into ALTO’s pilot seat.
