LISTEN TO THIS SHOW BY CLICKING HEREIt's not often that one gets to discover a truly marvelous, artistic, and inspirational motion picture at its beginnings. Writer-Director George Gallo joins me to talk about his journey making a film based on his own life -- and about the passion that it takes to create great art.
The movie is so real in its honesty and humanness that it bypasses emotion and relates to the depths of being. The story's focus is centered around art, but what you walk away with is inner growth -- achieved through living the shared experience -- at all levels. The film's message reinforces what most know, but doubt in themselves -- and it leaves you knowing that if you don't doubt, but follow your heart, you'll discover what you truly know -- the thread of being that connects you to greatness.
Right now, the film can only be seen in the Phoenix, Arizona area, but I expect that soon, audiences across America will get to be charmed by a film that is as much about great art as it is about 'the art of life'.
Leonard Maltin of "Entertainment Tonight" says LOCAL COLOR is "A deeply felt movie about pursuing the passion in your life", and the film has been called "Inspirational," and "Fantastic," by Phoenix Film Critics. Jamie Bernard of the New York Daily News raves this film is for "...anyone who has ever dared to dream." Audiences that have already seen the film have been so emotionally moved, many have returned to see it as many as three times.
