• PRODUCER •
Struggling to make ends meet, Reuben's desperation for money lands him in a cyber theft scheme that seems seemingly straightforward. Things take a turn when the victim turns out to be an old friend.
Coming on as a Producer early in
pre-production, I worked closely with Ishaan, who had crafted a story set in a contained environment. One of my key responsibilities was helping secure filming locations, including reaching out to a local Airbnb and tracking down a very specific old, worn-down truck that matched Ishaan’s vision.
Being from the Syracuse area, I immediately thought of my Uncle Ronald Russo’s rugged 2004 Chevy, exactly what we needed. Uncle Ron generously agreed to lend it to us, and the truck made its on-screen debut on our first day of filming, October 25th.
While the shoot was hectic at times, I’ve always loved being on set as a Producer, doing whatever is needed to support the cast and crew. Whether it was picking up meals, grabbing last-minute supplies, or even directing traffic (a first for me!), it’s incredibly rewarding to help keep everything running smoothly. I’m proud of the work we put in and can’t wait to see the film's continued success at festivals!
