PHILIP BOTTI
Botti is currently at work producing his next feature film, Face Cards. A biting comedy, the film tracks the misadventures of a man who boards the wrong bus. He's also developing a story about...well, we can't really tell you on the account of Botti's paranoia not to talk about his ideas. Born in Brooklyn, New York and raised on the New Jersey Shore (Middletown), Botti is a graduate of New York University, Tisch School of the Arts, where he received a BFA in film production. Botti's first movie, Middletown, won the 1996 New York Underground Film Festival Choice Award. The movie has been in numerous film festivals and screenings, and has been circulated throughout the world by an underground fan base. A pioneer of sorts, Botti was one of the first filmmakers to shoot a fiction film with a video camcorder. An ingenious idea of efficiency and premise, Middletown was made for free, thanks to an electronic super store's 33 day money back guarantee return policy on video cameras. The movie tracks Botti's 33 day adventure in his hometown of Middletown, New Jersey, as he documents the wild nature of his friends and family...before returning the camera for a full refund. CHRISTOS KOSTIANIS Kostianis is a veteran cinematographer of numerous music videos and commercials. MARIO BOTTI Mario Botti is an advertising art director. He has won numerous awards for creative excellence including: Clio's, One Show, and Cannes Festival. SCOTT SCHWARZ Scott Schwarz brings over fifteen years of experience working on various productions for Samuel Goldwyn, ABC, and Disney. MICHAEL J. MOORE A native of New Jersey, Mike, as he is called, attended Red Bank Catholic High School with director Philip Botti. Many a drunken night, Mike would bang on the piano, performing Bruce tunes for a bunch of equally intoxicated teens at some house party on the Jersey Shore. But Mike had bigger aspirations than just being the local piano man as evident in his yearbook quote, "It's a town full of losers and I'm pullin' out of here to win!" Armed with his mantra, Mike left the shore and headed for Berklee College of Music where he earned his degree in Composition and Film Scoring. During his 4 years of study he worked closely with Emerson College, writing and producing music for the annual Evvy awards.While Berklee is focused mainly on Jazz, Michael became more interested in the "classical" composition area, after listening to Gustav Mahler's 1st symphony. The brilliant score was achieved on a Roland Super Sound Canvas and a Roland U-20, recorded through Cakewalk Pro Audio.
